Park Assist To assist the driver during parking
maneuvers, the vehicle is equipped
with four sensors housed in the rear
bumper and four sensors in the front
bumper.
Besides the use of the sensors available
on the bumpers, the vehicle is also
equipped with a rear parking camera. For more details, see chapter "Rear
Parking Camera" in this section.
During parking maneuvers, the
parking sensors provide the driver with
information on the distance between
obstacles found behind and in front of
the vehicle. The information about the
obstacle distance is given to the driver
by means of acoustic and visual signals.
The acoustic signals generated by the
system add to the driver’s field of
vision, allowing him to avoid hitting
any obstacles during maneuvers.
WARNING!
• However, the driver remains
responsible during parking
maneuvers and in other potentially
dangerous situations. The system
has actually been designed only as a
supplementary aid during parking
maneuvers, since it allows the driver
to detect obstacles outside his field
of vision.
• Extreme caution is required in case
of obstacles whose shape and
volume are susceptible to be
incorrectly detected. When starting
the vehicle after parking, these
obstacles might not be detected if
they are already close to the bumper. Always stop when the acoustic
signal becomes steady.
Stop & Go Feature This function is enabled by the
manufacturer and it can be disabled by
the MTC+ (see chapter "MTC+
Settings" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls"), select and
tick the “Stop & Go Parking Sensors”
feature.
When vehicle speed is equal to or
lower than 6 mph (10 km/h), this
function helps the driver under special
traffic conditions as it signals that the
vehicle before you is at a min.
distance.
System with Enabled Stop & Go
Feature When the "Stop & Go" feature is
enabled through the MTC+, all sensors
are automatically enabled with the key
in the ignition switch turned to MAR
(ON) position, but they are not
displayed on the instrument cluster.
When the R (Reverse) gear is engaged
or an obstacle is detected, the
corresponding detection areas are
displayed on the instrument cluster. As
soon as the R (Reverse) gear is
disengaged, all sensors are still active:Before Starting

the distance (maximum/average/
minimum) and the position
(front/rear/central/side) of the obstacle
detected.
The color represents the distance,
while the field represents the position.
The green color represents the
maximum distance detected, the
yellow color the medium distance and
the red color the minimum one. The
rear sensors are not shown in the
image on the instrument cluster
display if only the front sensors are
active.
WARNING!
For the system to operate correctly the
sensors positioned on the bumper
must be kept clean (remove any mud,
dirt, snow or ice). Sensor Range The sensors allow the system to
monitor the front and rear of the
vehicle; they are positioned so as to
monitor the central and lateral zones
at the front and at the rear of the
vehicle.
In the event of an obstacle located in a
central area, this will be detected at
distances of less than 35 in (0,9 m) at
the front and 59 in (1,50 m) at the rear,
depending on the type of obstacle and
its dimensions.
If the obstacle is located in a lateral
position, it will be detected at
distances of less than 31 in (0,8 m).
Failure Indicators The system ECU checks all the
components every time R (Reverse)
gear is engaged.
In the event that the parking sensors
fail, the relative
warning light and
message illuminate on the instrument
cluster display.
In the event of a failure signal, stop
the vehicle and turn the key in the
ignition switch to STOP (OFF) position.
Then try cleaning the sensors or
moving the vehicle away from any
possible ultrasound sources (e.g.
pneumatic truck brakes or pneumatic hammers) and rotate the key to the
MAR (ON) position. So, if the
operating failure cause has been
eliminated, system full operation will
be recovered. If however, the failure
beep continues, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
Cleaning the Park Assist
Sensors When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry, rough
or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with clean
water, possibly adding car shampoo.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensor area, please contact
exclusively the Authorized Maserati
Dealer . Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensors
operation.
Park Assist System Usage
Precautions NOTE:
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the
performance of Park Assist.Before Starting
2
62

• Objects such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the
rear bumper while driving the
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing
the service Park Assist message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and
it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might only be
temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using Park Assist in order to be
able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. When backing
up, it is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using Park Assist. WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the Park Assist
system. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death. Rear Parking Camera Your vehicle is equipped with a rear
parking camera that allows you to see
an image on the MTC+ screen of the
rear surroundings of your vehicle
whenever the shift lever is put into R
(Reverse).
When “Parkview Backup Camera
Delay” mode is enabled on MTC+, the
rear view image shall be displayed for
up to 10 seconds after shifting out of
R (Reverse).
The rear parking camera is located on
the rear of the vehicle above the rear
license plate.
When the shift lever is shifted out of R
(Reverse), the rear camera mode is
exited and the navigation or audio
screen appears again.
When displayed, dynamic grid lines (if
the function is set to “MTC+ Settings”)Before Starting
2
63

will illustrate the width of the vehicle
while a dashed center-line will indicate
the center of the vehicle to assist with
parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver.
The dynamic grid lines will show
separate zones in different color that
will help indicate the distance to the
rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the
approximate distances for each zone
and color:
Zone Distance to the rear of
the vehicle
Red 11-12in(28-30cm)
Yellow 12 - 78 in (30 c m-2m)
Green 78 - 157 in ( 2-4m) WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when
reversing even when using the
rearview camera. Always check
carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, or blind
spots before reversing. You are
responsible for the safety of your
surroundings and must continue to be
careful while reversing. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, the rear
parking camera should only be used
as a parking aid, as the rear camera is
unable to view every obstacle or
object in your drive path.
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle
must be driven slowly when using
the rear parking camera to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is
seen. It is recommended that the
driver looks frequently over his/her
shoulder when using this system. NOTE:
If
snow, ice, mud, or any other
substance builds up on the camera
lens, clean the lens, rinse with water,
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover
the lens.Before Starting

engage the parking brake, but also to
shift the transmission shift lever to P
(Park) before leaving the vehicle.
When parking on hill roads, it is
important
to turn the front wheels
toward the curb on a downhill grade
and away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
Apply the parking brake before
placing the shift lever in P (Park),
otherwise the load on the
transmission locking mechanism may
make it difficult to move the shift
lever out of P (Park).
In certain conditions, it is however
advisable to disengage the parking
brake manually and slightly apply the
service brake for starting off. This is
advisable when there are obstacles
very close to the vehicle in the
direction in which you intend to move.
Brake and Stability
Control System
The vehicle is equipped with an
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
anti-yawing system, which helps to
maintain directional control in the
event of loss of grip of the tires. The
system is able to detect potentially
dangerous situations for the stability
of the vehicle and automatically sets
the brakes on all four wheels in a
differentiated manner, in order to
provide a torque settlement of the
vehicle.
ESC includes the following subsystems:
• ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation)
• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
• EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)
• HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assistance)
• BOS (Brake Override System)
WARNING!
• These systems cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from
affecting the vehicle, nor can they
increase traction, braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by
the condition of the vehicle brakes
and tires. •
These systems cannot prevent
collisions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too
closely, or hydroplaning.
• The capabilities of a vehicle
equipped with these systems must
never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the driver’s and the
passenger’s safety or the safety of
others.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
This system enhances directional
control and stability of the vehicle
under various driving conditions. The
ESC corrects over steering and under
steering of the vehicle by applying the
brake to the appropriate wheel.
Engine power may also be reduced to
assist in counteracting the conditions
of instability and maintain the right
direction. The system is also able to
reduce the engine power.
Through sensors fitted on the vehicle,
the ESC system detects the driver’s
chosen direction comparing it to the
one maintained while running. In case
of discrepancy between the required
trajectory and the current one, the

Hazard Warning Flashers
The hazard warning flashers switch is
located in the central console under
the A/C controls.
Press the switch to turn on the hazard
warning flashers to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. When these
lights illuminate, the turn signals, the
related indicator lights on the
instrument cluster and the button start
flashing.
Press the switch a second time to turn
off the hazard warning flashers.
Hazard warning flashers operation
does not depend on the position of
the key in the ignition switch.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the hazard warning
flashers will continue to operate even
though the key has been removed
from the ignition switch.
CAUTION!
• When the hazard warning flashers are activated, the turn signals
control is disabled. • The extended use of the hazard
warning flashers may wear down
your battery.
