vehicle Warnings when driving Your driving skills will improve with
experience, but be especially careful at
the beginning. Always comply with
local traffic regulations wherever you
drive.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or a
collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive
speed or in an altered state or while
intoxicated may result in loss of
control, going off the road, or
overturning. In all these situations a
collision with other vehicles or objects
is more likely to happen with the risk
to cause an accident that may lead to
serious injury.
In case of an accident, failure to use
seat belts causes the driver and
passengers a greater risk of injury or
death.
This Owner's Manual contains
warnings against operating procedures
that could result in a collision or injury
or damage to the environment. It also
contains cautions against procedures
that could damage the vehicle.
If you do not read this manual in its
entirety, you may miss important
information. Consider carefully all
warnings and cautions. WARNING!
• It is the driver’s responsibility to
operate the vehicle in a safe way: if
you are distracted while driving you
can lose control and cause serious
accidents.
• Maserati strongly recommends to
use particular care when operating
the features and tools that may take
the attention off the road.
• Mobile phones, PC, portable audio
device or other features should not
be operated while the vehicle is in
motion. This can be very dangerous
and can cause serious accidents.
• It is very dangerous to send text
messages while driving, do so only
when the vehicle is not moving.
• In some Countries/States the use of
mobile phone when driving is
forbidden: it is the driver’s sole

• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the
size of the pedal area and interfere
with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle. Tires
•
Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
• Check the tires (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapter in section
“Features and Specifications”) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the
operation of exterior lights while
you operate the controls (see
“Lights” chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (see “Instrument Cluster”
chapter in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
Door Latches
• Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking of doors and trunk lid
(see chapter “Doors” and “Open and
Close the Trunk Lid” in this section). Fluid Leaks
• Check area under vehicle after
overnight parking for recent fluid
leaks (oil, fuel, etc.).
• If gasoline fumes are detected or
fluid leaks are suspected, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .

Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments Low Fuel Indicator on Fuel Gage
The illumination of the red indicator
inside the gage indicates that there
are approx. 4.7 Gallons (18 liters) of
fuel in the tank.
If the pointer positions on "0"
(beginning of scale) and the fuel
reserve indicator flashes, it means that
there is a system malfunction.
In this case, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
Telltales on Speedometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the fuel level gage and speedometer,
and related messages are visible for 10
seconds on the central sector of the
display, unless otherwise indicated. The telltales indicated with (*) are also
displayed on the TFT display (see “TFT
Display” paragraph in this chapter).
Charging System Warning Light
This warning light shows the
status of the electrical
charging system. If the light
stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or
increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system warning light
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Require IMMEDIATE
service at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Start Procedures” in section “In
an Emergency”. Malfunction Indicator Light (*)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the key in the ignition switch is in
MAR (ON) position and switch off
soon after the engine is started.
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lighted up or switches on
while driving, there is a failure in the
fuel supply/ignition and emission
control systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Under these conditions you can
proceed slowly without forcing the
engine or driving at high speeds.
The indicator light will switch off if
the problem is solved.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

CAUTION!
• When the key on the key in the
ignition switch is in the MAR (ON)
position and if the indicator light
does not switch on or if it switches
on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.
Parking Lights Indicator
With
the key removed from
the ignition switch, it indicates
that the parking lights are on.
Transmission Failure Warning Light (*)
Depending on the message
displayed it signals:
• a transmission failure. If the
failure permits, slowly drive
to the nearest Authorized
Maserati Dealer ; • a too high temperature of the
transmission oil. In this case, slow
down until the temperature goes
down to the normal values for use
(the warning light goes off).
For further information see chapter
“Automatic Transmission” in section
“Driving”.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the
transmission temperature warning
light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or failure.
WARNING!
If the transmission temperature
warning light is illuminated and you
continue operating the vehicle, in
some circumstances you could cause
the fluid to boil over, come in contact
with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
High Beam Indicator
This
indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking. Low Oil Pressure Warning Light (*)
Under normal conditions, the
warning light illuminates
when the key in the ignition
switch is turned to MAR (ON)
position and goes off as soon as the
engine is started.
If the warning light stays or turns on
while driving, the engine oil pressure is
too low. The warning light is combined
with a displayed message. In this case,
turn the engine off immediately and
carry out the necessary checks.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
problem has been solved. This light
does not indicate the oil level. The
engine oil level must be checked with
the dipstick located under the hood
(see “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Headlight On Indicator
This indicator will illuminate
when the position lights or
headlights are turned on.
