to the normal driving position.
Rearview Mirrors Outside Mirrors Outside mirrors can be adjusted
electrically.
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The outside mirrors are electrochromic,
which means, they automatically
operate an anti-glare function by
gradually shading as the light hitting
the mirrors increases.
The outside rearview electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
inside rearview electrochromic mirror.
NOTE:
The mirrors can be adjusted electrically
only with key in the ignition switch in
MAR (ON) position.
Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror control is located on
the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror control consist of an
external selector dial and a four-way
mirror control switch.
To adjust a rearview mirror, turn the
external selector dial in the L (left) or R
(right) position to select the mirror
that you want to adjust. Move the mirror control switch
corresponding to the direction of the
mirror desired movement (up - down -

WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror
to judge the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the outside convex
mirror.
Folding Mirrors
T
urn the external selector dial to the
lower central position "CLOSE", both
mirrors fold inward to facilitate
parking in narrow spaces. If the
selector dial is returned to the upper
central position, the mirrors return to
the open position. WARNING!
The mirrors must always be in the
open position while driving.
CAUTION!
Never retract or open the mirrors
manually: it could damage the power
mechanism.
Outside Rearview Mirror Memory
Position
The
outside rearview mirror position,
both for the normal driving direction
and for reversing, is automatically
memorized together with each seat
position ("Comfort Pack Front Seats"
function). See chapter "Comfort Pack
Front Seats" in this section for further
information. Inside Rearview Mirror The position of inside rearview mirror
can be manually adjusted, and is
endowed with an accident-prevention
release system operating in the event
of a collision.
The electrochromic rearview mirror
automatically operates an anti-glare
function by gradually darkening as the
light reflected on its surface increases.
This function is automatically
deactivated when reversing, to ensure
optimal visibility of obstacles.
Inside rearview mirror is equipped at
its base with a button for switching
electrochromic feature on/off and a
LED, on button left-hand side,
indicating feature on/off status.

Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
In addition, the headlights are
equipped with an ALC system
(Adaptive Light Control).
This system combines the light beam
with the steering angle to assure
better visibility of the road surface
when driving in a curve, steering or in
the event of road deviations.
The advantages offered by improved
lighting system are perceived
especially in case of bad weather, fog
and/or insufficient road indications
providing broader illumination of the
side zones, which are normally left in
the dark, and for highway driving (see
comparison rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye strain and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers). The electric arc requires very high
voltage for activation, but afterward
power is supplied at a lower voltage.
The headlights reach maximum
brightness about 0,5 seconds after
being turned on.
The strong light produced by this type
of headlight requires the use of an
automatic system to keep the position
of the headlights constant and to
prevent dazzling approaching cars, in
the case of braking, acceleration or
load transport.
WARNING!
If xenon headlamp replacement is
necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Parking Lights The parking lights only work with the
key in the ignition switch turned to
STOP (OFF) or ACC position, or with
the key removed.
They are activated by turning the light
switch to
position.
It is harder to turn the switch to
position than to the other
positions. This is to avoid activating the parking lights unintentionally and
wasting power.
When the parking lights are on, the
warning light on the instrument
cluster illuminates.
With parking lights on, move down
left-hand multifunction lever to switch
on position lights on left-hand side,
and move it up to switch on only the
ones on right-hand side.
Automatic Headlights When the light switch is turned to
"AUTO" position and the key in the
ignition switch is in MAR (ON)
position, the position lights, low beam
lights and license plate lights turn on
and off automatically, depending on
the light outside.
NOTE:
The high beams can only be turned on
manually by pushing the left-hand
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
• If the low beams are activated, they
will come on automatically every
time the lights are turned on. You
are therefore advised to turn off the
high beams every time the twilightUnderstanding the Vehicle

sensor deactivates the external
lights.
• In case of fog during the day,
position lights and low beam lights
are not turned on automatically. The
driver must always be ready to turn
the lights on manually, including
rear fog lights, if necessary.
• The driver is always responsible for
turning on the external lights,
depending on the light outside and
in compliance with the applicable
legislation in the country of use. The
automatic system for activating/
deactivating the external lights must
be considered an aid for the driver.
If necessary, turn the lights on and
off manually.
NOTE:
After
external lights turn on
automatically, driver can always
manually turn on rear fog lights.
When external lights turn off
automatically, rear fog lights will turn
off automatically too, if on. Upon the
following automatic switch-on driver
must manually turn on rear fog lights,
if necessary. Rear Fog Lights Press button on the light switch to
turn on the rear fog lights.
Fog lights only work when the low
beams are on by operating the light
switch in
(low beam) or "AUTO"
position.
The symbol on the button and the
dedicated indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminate when
the lights are on.
WARNING!
Do not use the rear fog lights in
normal visibility conditions to avoid
dazzling vehicles behind.
Pressing again the
button will
deactivate the rear fog lights. Twilight Sensor This device consists of two sensors: a
global sensor, capable of measuring
the light intensity above and a
directional sensor, which measures the
light intensity in the vehicle’s traveling
direction, enabling it to recognize
tunnels and driveways.
You can adjust the sensing range of
the twilight sensor by means of the
MTC+, by selecting the “Settings”
menu and "Safety & Driving Assistant"
function (see chapter "MTC+ Settings"
in section "Dashboard instruments
and Controls").
In the event of a sensor failure, the
system will turn on the low beams and
the position lights, regardless of the
light outside, and a failure message
will appear on the instrument cluster
display.
The failure indication will be displayed
as long as the light switch is turned to
"AUTO" position.
In this case, we recommend that you
deactivate the automatic system and
turn on the external lights manually if
necessary; contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.Understanding the Vehicle

Left-hand Multifunction Lever The multifunction lever on the left side
of the steering column controls the
operation of the turn signals,
headlight beam selection and
overtaking lights.
This multifunction lever also controls
the Cruise Control. See chapter "Cruise
Control" in section "Driving" for
further information.
Turn Signals
Move the left-hand multifunction lever
all the way up or down until the stop
trigger.
The left or right arrow indicator on
respectively the speedometer and
tachometer instrument cluster, flashes
to show proper operation of the front
and rear turn signal lights. To activate lane change function, tap
the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent. The turn
signals (right or left) will flash three
times then automatically turn off.
This function is useful when
overtaking or changing lanes. NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not
flash, or flashes at a fast rate, check for
a defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator on instrument cluster fails
while moving the lever, then the
indicator bulb is probably defective.
High Beams and Flashing
To switch on the high beams with the
light switch in headlamp
or
“AUTO” position, shift the left-hand
multifunction lever onward.
A related
blue telltale will
illuminate on the tachometer.
By pulling the lever backward (toward
the steering wheel) you switch off the
high beams and switch on the low
beams.Understanding the Vehicle
