CAUTION!
• When the key on the key in the
ignition switch is in theMAR (ON)
position and if the indicator light
does not switch on or if it switches
on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealeras 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 nearestAuthorized
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 toMAR (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.
For further details, see
“Lights” in section “Understanding the
Vehicle”.

(Drive) to R (Reverse), and vice versa,
by pressing the unlock button on the
transmission shift lever.
• Vehicle moving: switching to N
(Neutral) from D (Drive) requires the
unlock button on the shift lever
pressed.
• From D (Drive) selected mode it is
always possible to switch to
MANUAL mode by shifting the
transmission shift lever to "+" or "–"
position.
The gears will be engaged in relation
to the traveling speed, engine RPM,
accelerator position, speed with which
the pedal is depressed as well as the
traveling conditions (uphill, downhill,
curves).
The system has been programmed to
classify all driving styles, in relation to
the above mentioned parameters, and
to associate them with the various
vehicle settings, which go from
extremely comfortable and economic
driving to racing-style driving. The
setting is selected automatically.
At extremely cold temperatures
(-23°F/-30°C or below), transmission
may be affected by the low
temperature of the engine and
transmission. Normal operation will
resume once the transmissiontemperature has risen to a normal
level.
Transmission Strategy in
Particular Driving Situations
Downhill Driving
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the transmission system
detects that the vehicle is moving
downhill and deactivates upshifting.
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed, upshifting is reactivated
but will be delayed by a few seconds.
When the brake pedal is depressed,
the transmission system downshifts to
provide enhanced engine braking
power.
In other words, when driving
downhill, the transmission system
operates so as to avoid upshifting and
shifting gears when the accelerator
pedal is released, and delays gear
engagement by a few seconds when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
In addition, when the brakes are
applied, it engages the lowest gear in
order to provide enhanced engine
braking power.
This strategy is aimed at making
downhill driving safer.Driving in Curves
The system detects when the vehicle
goes into a curve through the lateral
acceleration and the steering angle.
Detecting this condition, it controls
gearshifting using a specific mode.
This mode is exited when the vehicle
comes out of the curve, at a distance
that varies depending on the vehicle
speed.
Fast-off Strategy
When the accelerator pedal is fully
released, the system deactivates
upshifting.
The next time the pedal is depressed,
upshifting will be reactivated only
after a few seconds.
Upshifting is also deactivated when
the accelerator pedal is partially
released; the system waits the time
necessary to evaluate if the release
action is completed.
Hot-mode Situations
In the event that the engine oil or
coolant temperature is too high or
both, the transmission system reduces
the maximum engine speed to 4000
rpm.
Therefore, upshifting will occur at this
limit.
This strategy does not apply to
downhill driving, so as to always have
Driving

Maserati Dealerto have the
transmission checked.
WARNING!
When the transmission is
malfunctioning, drive very carefully
considering that vehicle performance
is reduced. In addition, the reverse
gear safety lock may not be active:
absolutely do not shift the lever to R
(Reverse) when the vehicle is moving.
Transmission Oil Overtemperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, a message
and the
red warning light
illuminates on the instrument cluster.
In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level
(the light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend
to stop the vehicle, shift the lever to
position P (Park) or N (Neutral) and
keep the engine idle until the
red
temperature warning light turns off
and the message disappears from the
display. Resume driving without
demanding high engine performance.
If the
red warning light and the
related message turns on again, it is
advisable to stop the vehicle, turn off
the engine and wait for theengine/transmission assembly to fully
cool down.

before driving through the standing
water.
• Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This
will minimize wave effects.
•
Driving through standing water may
cause damage to your vehicle
drivetrain components. After driving
through standing water, do not drive if
you are not sure about drivetrain
condition. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Warranty.
• Getting water inside your vehicle
engine can cause it to lock up and
stall out, and cause serious internal
damage to the engine. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle
Warranty.
• After driving through standing
water always have the fluids (engine
oil, transmission oil, etc) checked for
contamination at anAuthorized
Maserati Dealer.
WARNING!
•Driving through standing water
limits your vehicle traction
capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph
(8 km/h) when driving through
standing water.•Driving through standing water
limits your vehicle braking
capabilities, which increases
stopping distances. Therefore, after
driving through standing water,
drive slowly and lightly press on the
brake pedal several times to
progressively dry the brakes discs
and pads.
•Getting water inside your vehicle
engine can cause it to lock up and
stall out.
•Failure to follow these warnings
may result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
Pollution Control Devices
Even if the vehicle is fitted with
antipollution devices, the environment
deserves the greatest respect from
every one of us.
By following a few simple rules, the
driver can avoid damaging the
environment and very often can
reduce fuel consumption as well.
In this regard, some useful
information is listed here below;
please read it carefully.
• The first precaution is to follow the
Scheduled Service Plan scrupulously
(see “Scheduled Service Plan” in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
• The correct operation of the
antipollution devices not only helps
respect for the environment, but
also has an impact on vehicle
efficiency. Keeping these devices in
good working conditions is the first
rule for driving both ecologically
sound and economically.
• Always use unleaded fuel.
• If starting is difficult, do not make
prolonged attempts. In particular,
avoid push starts, towing or
downhill starts: these are all
maneuvers that can damage the
catalytic converters. For any

CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by the
Authorized Maserati Dealer. For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry outyourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, originalMaserati
spare parts (or equivalent) and the
prescribed fluids. Shall this not be the
case, do not carry any operation on
your own and contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealer.
Onboard Diagnostic System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions suited to current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealerfor service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the
MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
MIL is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
theAuthorized Maserati Dealeris
required.
Spare Parts
Use of genuine parts for normal or
scheduled maintenance and repairs is
highly recommended to ensure
excellent performance.
Damage or failures caused by
non-genuine spare parts used for
maintenance and repairs will not be
covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.

level of the power steering reservoir.
• To carry out the check, unscrew the
cap, clean the dipstick with a dry and
clean cloth.
• Retighten the cap then unscrew it
again and check the level: it should
match the “MAX” notch marked on
the dipstick. In hot oil conditions,the level may even exceed the
“MAX” notch.
• If necessary, top up with fluid
making sure that it has the same
characteristics as the one already
used in the system (refer to
“Refillings” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
CAUTION!
Make sure that the power steering
fluid does not come in touch with the
engine hot parts as it is flammable.
