• The BSA system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, or
animals.
• Even if your vehicle is equipped with
the BSA system, always check your
vehicle’s outside and rearview
mirrors for any vehicles approaching
from behind or overtaking.
• Use your turn signal before changing
lanes.
RCP - Rear Cross Path The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when gear
in reverse of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on either
side of the rear bumper, it detects any
vehicles or objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 1 to
2 mph (1 km/h to 3 km/h) to a
maximum of approximately 10 mph
(16 km/h), such as in parking lot
situations. NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming
vehicles can be obscured by vehicles
parked on either side. If the sensors
are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to
alert the driver.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an
oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP
system will alert the driver using both
the visual and audible alarms. If the
radio is on, it will also reduce the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More specifically, it is intended to be used to
help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing
up, even when using RCP. 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. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
BSA and RCP Setting Setting modes can be selected from
the MTC+ System.
Touch “Controls” soft-key and then
“Blind Spot Assist” soft-key to enter
the setting page.

emitting the same radio frequencies
as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing aftermarket window
tinting that contains materials that
may block radio wave signals.
• Accumulation of snow or ice around
the wheels or wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
The instrument cluster will also display
a "Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds when a system fault related to
an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "Service Tire
Pressure System" message is then
followed by a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This
indicates that the pressure values are
still being received from the TPMS
sensors but they may not be located in
the correct vehicle position. The system
still needs to be serviced as long as the
"Service Tire Pressure System" message
is displayed. Vehicles with Compact Spare Tire
• The compact spare tire does not have
a TPMS sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure of the
compact spare tire.
• If you replace a tire having pressure
below the low-pressure warning
limit, with the compact spare tire, on
the next ignition switch cycle, the
TPMS light
will illuminate
followed by a beeping sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a
flashing pressure value
corresponding to the compact tire
position.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the
TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (--)
in place of the pressure value.
• Each subsequent ignition switch cycle
will be followed by a beeping sound,
the TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and subsequently displaysDriving

with proper maintenance. Have the
exhaust system inspected every time
the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:

vehicle Refueling Fuel Filler Neck Access To access the fuel filler neck, the filler
door must be unlocked. From outside
the vehicle, this can only be done by
pressing the unlock
or the lock
button on the key fob RKE
transmitter, in the same way as if
opening or closing the doors. If any of
the door lock controls is pressed from
inside the vehicle, the filler door will
still remain open to allow refueling.
• Press the indicated area on the filler
door, which is located on the rear left
side of the vehicle: the filler door will
open completely.
Refill the Tank The fuel filler neck is provided with
external cap. • Rotate counterclockwise and remove
the fuel filler cap. The cap hermetic
seal may result in a slight pressure
increase inside the tank. Any hissing
noise while the cap is being opened
is therefore completely normal. The
cap is linked to the filler neck with a
strap, to prevent it from being lost
while refueling.
• When refueling, place the cap in the
proper seat on the filler door hinge.Driving

• Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler.
WARNING!
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not
approach the filler with open flames
or cigarettes!
• To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious
fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
• Never have any smoking materials
lit in or near the vehicle when the
fuel filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most
fire-prevention regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light
to turn on (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank
capacity
is indicated in the
“Refillings” table in section
“Features and Specifications”.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle additional fuel supply until two
clicks. After the two additional clicks,
the amount of fuel allowed by the
system is very low, we recommend
therefore not to persist further.
• Wait approximately 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle in
order to ensure completed supply of
residual fuel and restrict the risk of
fouling the fuel filler door area.
• Remove the fuel nozzle.
• Insert the cap on the fuel filler neck.
• Tighten the cap, turning it clockwise
until it stops.
• Close the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,
do not “top off” the fuel tank after
filling.
Emergency Refueling Funnel
A
funnel is provided (in the trunk in
the tool box container) for emergency
refueling with a gas can. WARNING!
A fire may result if fuel is pumped
into a portable container that is inside
of a vehicle. You could be burned.
Always place gas containers outside
the vehicle while filling.Driving

Fuel Filler Cap Open Warning
Light After refueling the car
performs a check of the fuel
filler cap and the amber
warning light on the TFT
display comes on if it is not correctly
closed, after approximately 10 minutes
also depending on driving conditions.
If the problem is in the fuel system, the
Malfunction Indicator Light
also
comes on.
If the fuel filler cap is locked and the
issue remains in the system, at the next
engine start only the Malfunction
Indicator Light
comes on. In this
case, contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob RKE
transmitter, use the fuel filler door
emergency release located in the
trunk.
• Open the power liftgate (see “Power
Liftgate Operation” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Lift the access cover on the left side
of the trunk. • Pull the release cable moderately to
avoid its possible break. It's not
possible to feel or hear the unlocking
of the fuel filler door actuator.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door.Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to have
the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent themDriving

• Refit the access cover making sure to
engage the two projecting elements
indicated by the arrow fully home
into the bumper.
• Push cover lower end toward
bumper until the two retainers click
in place.
Towing Tips • Before setting out on a trip, check
operation of trailer rear lights and stop lights to ensure you do not
jeopardize other road users' safety.
• Make certain that the load is secured
in the trailer and will not shift
during travel. When trailering cargo
that is not fully secured, dynamic
load shifts can occur that may be
difficult for the driver to control.
• When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your vehicle
or trailer. Overloading can cause a
loss of control, damage to brakes,
driveline, steering, suspension or
tires.
• Safety metal wire must always be
used between your vehicle and
trailer. Always connect the wire to
the hook retainers of the trailer and
vehicle hitch. Cross the wire under
the trailer tongue and allow enough
slack for turning corners.
• Comply with local applicable speed
limits.
• Towing any trailer will increase your
stopping distance. When towing,
you should allow for additional
space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do
so could result in an accident.
• For towing use “Normal” ride
height. • Do not exceed maximum specified
pressure for vehicle and trailer tires.
• Vehicles with trailers should not be
parked on a steep grade. When
parking, put the tow vehicle
transmission in P (Park) and apply
the parking brake on the tow
vehicle. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
• Do not use electronic Cruise Control
(CC and/or ACC) when driving on
slopes or when carrying heavy loads.
• The D (Drive) gear must be selected
when towing. The transmission
controls include a drive strategy to
avoid frequent shifting when
towing. However, if frequent
shifting does occur while in D
(Drive), if provided, you can use the
paddle shift switches to manually
select a lower gear.
• Using a lower gear while operating
the vehicle under heavy loading
conditions, will improve
performance and extend
transmission life by reducing
excessive shifting and heat buildup.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.Driving

NOTE:
The compact spare wheel is supplied in
aluminum or steel: the pictures show
the one in aluminum.
The compact spare wheel is stored in
the trunk and is supplied deflated in
order to limit the amount of space
occupied. An electric compressor is also
provided for inflating. In the event of
a tire puncture, proceed as follows.
• Stop the vehicle in a place that does
not constitute a danger to traffic and
where the wheel can be changed
safely. The vehicle must be level and
on firm ground.
• Select the P (Park) mode and then
engage manually the electric parking
brake and move the ignition switch
to OFF position.

• The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible. • It is recommended that the wheels
of the vehicle be chocked, and that
no person should remain in a vehicle
that is being jacked.
• If the vehicle has been stopped on a
slope or an uneven surface, place
chocks or other suitable items in
front of or behind the wheels to
stop the vehicle from moving.
• Never start or run the engine with
the vehicle on a jack.
• No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.

screw the cap on the compact spare
wheel valve.
WARNING!
• In order to obtain a more accurate
reading, the compressor should be
switched off when checking the tire
pressure of the compact spare wheel
on the pressure gauge.
• Do not run the compressor for more
than 20 minutes: there is a risk it
could overheat. Also, prolonged
power absorption may discharge the
battery, subsequently preventing
the engine from starting. • The compressor has been designed
exclusively to inflate compact spare
wheels; do not use it to inflate air
mattresses, dinghies etc.
• Remove the center cover of the
wheel
rim (if provided) levering into
the provided groove on the outer
edge of the cover.
