Entry/Exit During transition from one position to
another, the instrument cluster display
will show a pop-up indicator (above
the coolant temperature indicator)
which reproduces the ride height
symbols. On this indicator, the LED for
the new position, set by means of the
selector on central console, will flash
while the LEDs of intermediate
positions will turn on when set
position is reached. The new position
will be displayed on the dedicated
area at top right of the display and
the indicator will turn off after
approximately 2 seconds. The system requires that the engine
be running for all changes. When
lowering the vehicle, all of the doors,
including the liftgate, must be closed.
If a door is opened at any time while
the vehicle is lowering, the change
will not be completed until the open
door/s is/are closed.
The pneumatic suspension system of
this vehicle uses a lifting and lowering
pattern preventing the headlights
from incorrectly shining into
oncoming traffic.
When raising the vehicle, the rear of
the vehicle will move up first and then
the front.
When lowering the vehicle, the front
will move down first and then the
rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may
be noticed that the pneumatic
suspension system operates briefly,
this is normal. The system is correctingDriving

Display Messages
After shifting selector to change
position, a pop-up message will
indicate for 5 seconds when set
position has been reached (after
pneumatic suspension system
intervention that might last up to 30
seconds).
This type of message will be displayed
only if the option to view all
pneumatic suspension system messages
was set (For further details, refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
Set ride height and drive mode can be
monitored on instrument cluster
display via “Drive mode” menu, using
buttons on the right-hand side of the steering wheel (see chapter
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The change from one position to
another can occur only if the following
requirements are met.
• Lifting: engine running, speed lower
than preset limit, etc.
• Lowering: engine running, speed
lower than preset limit, doors closed,
etc.
Ride height change can be temporarily
suspended or disabled under the
following conditions, as indicated in
the pop-up messages on instrument
cluster display.
• High speed: decrease speed to set
new height.
• Pneumatic suspension system
overheat: wait for the system to cool
down before changing height.
• Door(s) and/or liftgate open: close
door(s) and liftgate to lower the
vehicle.
• Pneumatic suspension system
temporarily disabled or in fault: wait
a few minutes and repeat the
operation or contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer . • Low battery: start the engine to
recharge battery and change ride
height.
• Entry/Exit position not available:
check the cause preventing this
control.
Using the Ride Height Positions and
speed Thresholds
The different ride heights that can be
set with the selector allow user to
drive the vehicle on and off road,
using the available drive modes and
functions.
NOTE:
The indications below explain as a
general rule which selector position
has to be used in certain situations and
which are the speed thresholds at
which it is possible to set the available
ride height and when system
automatically switches to a different
height. In any case, the driver must
always assess and set the ride height
and drive mode most suitable to the
conditions of the current driving path
on a case by case basis.
• Normal : normal ground clearance.
This is the standard height position
of the pneumatic suspension and is
meant for normal road conditions.Driving

“NORMAL”, “SPORT ”, “
(Suspension)“ or “I.C.E.” After
selecting this height, once the vehicle
speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h),
the vehicle height will begin to
lower. To exit “Entry/Exit” mode,
move selector to another position or
drive the vehicle over 15 mph (24
km/h). Automatic lowering of the
vehicle into “Entry/Exit” mode can be
enabled through the MTC+ (refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). If this feature is enabled,
the vehicle will only lower if the
gearshift lever is in P (Park), the
engine is running, doors and liftgate
are closed and the Pneumatic
Suspension System should be either
in “NORMAL” or “Aero”. The Vehicle
will not automatically lower if the
pneumatic suspension system is in
“Off Road 2” or “Off Road 1” mode.
The lowering will be suppressed
when the ignition is switched off and
a door is opened to prevent setting
the alarm off.
Lowering Vehicle Height for Inactivity
Lowering of vehicle ground clearance
after a long period of inactivity should
be considered normal since it is due to a drop of pressure in the pneumatic
suspension system.
Approximately, after one week of
inactivity, vehicle ground clearance will
lower by 0.4 in (10 mm). To set off the
drop of pressure due to inactivity, it is
necessary to start the engine and allow
some time until system reaches
operating pressure and lifts the vehicle
to set ride height. A message on
instrument cluster display will warn
driver when set ride height is reached.
Driving vehicle before the set riding
height is reached is not safe and could
damage suspension components.
WARNING!
After a long period of vehicle
inactivity, drive only when vehicle
reaches set ride height to prevent any
problems of the pneumatic suspension system from limiting occupants'
safety.
"Launch Control" Mode
(TROFEO version only) "Launch Control" mode is a
performance start procedure.
By activating this procedure you get
the best possible acceleration from
standstill of the car.
This mode allows you to ground the
torque necessary to prevent the
wheels from slipping during
acceleration performance.
To make a performance start in
"Launch Control" mode, the following
conditions must be met:
• Water and transmission temperature
in proper range.
• No engine, AWD and on board
systems faults.
• The vehicle must be traveled at least
440 mi (700 km).
• "CORSA" drive mode on.
• Shift lever in "D" or"M +/-" position.
• The vehicle must be stationary on a
level road surface.
• The driver door closed and the safety
belt fastened.Driving

Active Alternator To improve overall efficiency by
reducing the auxiliary loads on the
engine, the vehicle is equipped with a
smart alternator that is mainly active
in the latter energy balance phases
(for example, during braking, coasting
and overloading). The alternator
becomes active when the battery
charge is insufficient and when the
vehicle exits from the braking and
overload situations.
Active Alternator Feature (if feature is
available)
In the I.C.E. screen, the user can display
in the form of dynamic bars some
informative parameters on the state of
battery charge ("CHARGE"), efficiency
of drive style ("EFFICIENCY") and the
matured economy (“
” bonus range)
expressed in miles (mi) or kilometres
(km). The bonus range (about 37 mi / 60 km
for each full of fuel) is automatically
reset every time the vehicle is refueled.
Off-Road Drive This vehicle is equipped with a specific
“Off Road” driving mode which allows
to drive through various terrain
conditions (rock, mud, sand), also
uphill and downhill, eventually in
condition of lateral inclination.
To set the "OFF ROAD" drive mode,
please see the paragraphs “Setting the
Drive Mode” and “Setting Ride
Height” of chapter “Drive Mode” in
this section.
In order to enhance this specific
performance, the "OFF ROAD" drive
mode modifies the setting of:
• Ride height;
• Engine, transmission calibration;
• Suspensions.
When “OFF ROAD” is selected, ride
height is set to “Off Road 1” (vehicle is
higher by approx. 1 in / 25 mm).
It is possible to select ride height “Off
Road 2” (vehicle is raised by approx.
1.5 in / 40 mm) using the ride height
selector.
“OFF ROAD” drive mode is limited up
to a max speed of 56 mph (90 km/h). In
case the vehicle speed should exceed
this limit, the drive mode will be
de-selected automatically and the
drive mode will return to “NORMAL”.Driving

Parking Brake The vehicle is equipped with an
electric automatic parking brake, also
called EPB (Electric Parking Brake).
The braking action is ensured by a
power actuator directly working on
the brake pad inside each caliper of
the rear brake system.
It can be automatically engaged when
the engine is turned off and
disengaged with engine running,
driver seatbelt latched and driver door
closed, while pressing the brake pedal
and operating the shift lever.
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold with
gearshift in park to avoid damage to
the vehicle. EPB can be disengaged
before turning off the vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer display and the related
message is displayed on the instrument
cluster for 5 seconds (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”). During engagement and
disengagement procedures, the
warning light
flashes until the
parking brake has reached its
maximum activation force and is
respectively fully released.
In the above-mentioned conditions,
the automatic engagement function
can be deactivated/activated by
selecting the menu item “Vehicle
settings” on the main menu (refer to
paragraph “Deactivating Automatic
Operation” in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement The parking brake can also be
manually engaged or disengaged
when the engine is running or the
ignition switch is in the RUN position,
by pressing the brake pedal and raising the lever located behind the
shift lever.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer and the related message
will be displayed for 5 seconds on the
instrument cluster.
If you attempt to engage/disengage
the parking brake without having
pressed the brake pedal, a message
will be displayed, warning you to press
the brake pedal.
If the engine was turned off when the
automatic engagement device was
deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward
within 3 minutes after turning off.Driving

operation follow the same procedures
and select the other option.
CAUTION!
• Under certain conditions when the
battery voltage is low, the electric automatic parking brake system may
temporarily be deactivated for safety
reasons. Therefore, typically upon
starting the engine, when the
battery voltage drops, a message
may temporarily be displayed,
indicating that automatic operation
is temporarily disabled.
• In case of repetitive requests to reset
the EPB through the messages shown
on the TFT display, please contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
