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.

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
Turn 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

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.

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.

damaged if the wiper control is left
in any position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the windshield wiper
blades from returning to the off
position. If the windshield wiper
control is turned off and the blades
cannot return to the off position, the
wiper motor may be damaged.
Rain Sensing Wipers
This feature detects moisture on the
windshield through an inside rearview
mirror integrated sensor.
The rain sensor adapts the frequency
of the windshield wiper strokes (in the
intermittent operation mode) to the
intensity of the rain.
All the other functions controlled by
the right-hand multifunction lever
(windshield wipers off, in continuous
slow and fast operation mode and intemporary fast operation mode)
remain the same.
The rain sensor is activated
automatically by moving the
right-hand multifunction lever to
"AUTO" position. The sensor has a
setting range that varies progressively:
from the windshield wiper stationary
position - when the windshield is dry -
to the windshield wiper second speed -
in conditions of pouring rain.
To regulate the frequency of
intermittent operation, with the
right-hand multifunction lever in
"AUTO" position, turn the end section
of the lever.
Rotating the end section clockwise,
intermittent operation varies from fast
intermittent wipe (max.) to slow
intermittent wipe (min).
If the engine is turned off during
automatic windshield wiper operation,with the right-hand multifunction
lever in "AUTO" position, to reactivate
the function the next time the engine
is started, the lever must be moved to
"OFF" (stop position) then back to
"AUTO" position.
CAUTION!
• The rain sensing feature may not
function properly by ice or dried salt
water on the windshield.
• Use on the windshield of RainX
®or
products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
Rain Sensor Failure
When the rain sensor is activated, in
the event that it is malfunctioning, the
windshield wiper will be switched on
in intermittent operation mode and
the sensing range will be set by the
user, regardless of whether or not
there is rain on the windshield.
The
symbol appears on the
instrument cluster display.
In this case, we recommend that you
cut-out the rain sensor and turn on the
wiper, if necessary, in continuous
mode. Contact theAuthorized
Maserati Dealeras soon as possible.
