dashboard warning lights MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 User Guide

If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
This warning light is connected
to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Under normal conditions, the
warning light should illuminate when
the ignition switch is in RUN and
should go off once the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressure
of one or more tires is too low and a
message will be displayed.
The TPMS malfunction warning light is
connected to the low tire pressure
monitoring light.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the monitoring light and
the related message will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain lit.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle startups as long as
the malfunction lasts.
When the malfunction warning lights
up, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure
correctly. Please refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in section
“Driving” for further information.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Malfunction Warning Light
This light, and its related
message, indicate possible
malfunctions of the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS).
The light will turn on when the
ignition switch is in RUN position and
may stay on for 4 seconds. If the ABS
light remains lit or turns on while
driving, the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and
requires service. However, the
conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the
warning light is switched off. If
the ABS light turns on while driving, or
if it does not switch on when the
ignition switch is in RUN position,
please visit an Authorized Maserati
Dealer as soon as possible to restore
the Anti-Lock brake function.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The ESC activation/malfunction
indicator light on the
instrument cluster will display
when the ignition switch is in
RUN position. It should switch off by starting the
engine.
If the light stays on with the engine
running, there is a malfunction in the
ESC system.
If the light still stays on after several
ignition cycles, and the vehicle has
been driven for several miles at more
than 30 mph (48 km/h) speed, visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem
diagnosed and serviced.
NOTE:
Each time the ignition switch is in RUN :
• The ESC OFF indicator light
and
the ESC activation/malfunction
indicator light illuminates
temporarily.
• When the ESC is functioning, the
system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds. This is normal. The sounds
will stop once ESC becomes inactive
and the road conditions that caused
the ESC activation no longer persist.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light
This indicator notifies that the
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is disabled (OFF); the
linked message will be
displayed.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

Telltales on Tachometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the tachometer and related messages
are visible for 5 seconds on the central
sector of the display, unless otherwise
indicated (see “TFT Display:
Warning/Indicator Lights of Set
Modes/Functions” in this chapter).
Start&Stop Active Indicator
This telltale indicates that the
engine has been switched off
automatically by the
Start&Stop system.
When the engine starts again, the
telltale will switch off.
If the telltale during an automatic
engine shutdown (AutoStop) phase
starts flashing, it will be necessary to
restart the engine normally with the
ignition device while holding down
the brake pedal. See chapter “Automatic Start&Stop
System” in section “Driving” for
further information.
Rear Fog Light Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the rear fog lights are
switched on.
High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.
Brake Indicator Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level, brake pads
wear and parking brake
engagement.
If the brake light illuminates the
parking brake may be engaged, the
brake pads have reached wear limit,
the brake fluid level may be low or a
problem with the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) reservoir may have
occurred.
In all the above situations, a related
message will be displayed.
If the light still illuminates when the
parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark
on the master cylinder reservoir, there
could be a brake hydraulic system malfunction or a problem with the
brake booster detected by the
ABS/ESC system. If this occurs, the light
will remain lit until the problem has
been solved.
If the problem concerns the brake
booster, the ABS master cylinder will
run when engaging the brake and a
brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop of the vehicle.
Inefficiency of one of the dual brake
system cycles is indicated by the brake
indicator light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
certain level.
The light will remain lit until the
problem has been solved.
If a brake failure occurs, visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible in order to check up the
brake system.
In the event of an Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD) failure, both
the brake indicator light and the ABS
light illuminate.
Immediate repair of the ABS system is
required.
Functioning of the brake indicator
light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from OFF to RUN
position.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

The light should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds.
The light should switch off unless the
parking brake is engaged or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not
illuminate, have the light system
repaired by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The light will also switch on when the
parking brake is engaged with the
ignition switch in RUN position.
This light only indicates the brake is
engaged but not the clamping force of
the parking brake to the wheels.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on can be very dangerous and is
not recommended. Part of the brake
system may have failed, resulting in
increased braking distances and the
risk of an accident. Have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Air Bag Indicator Light
This
light will illuminate
for a
few seconds for a bulb check
when the ignition switch is in
RUN . If the light does not
illuminate while starting the engine, stays lit, or switches on while driving,
have the system checked at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible.
In the latter case, the message will
remain displayed: to hide it, press the
button
on the steering wheel right
side.
See “Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) – Air bags” in section “Before
Starting” for further information.
WARNING!
If the warning light remains ON or if it
does not illuminate or illuminates
while driving, contact your Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. Right Turn Signal Indicator
This indicator lights up
when
the right turn signals or the
hazard flashers are switched
on.
The indicator will flash at the same
frequency of the turn signals and is
controlled by the turn signal lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile (1.6
km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will advise the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.
After the bulb check or while driving,
if a seat belt is unbuckled, together
with the acoustic signal the seat belt
reminder light will light up and a
message will indicate which belt is not
fastened.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

WARNING!
Maserati urges you to use the seat
belts correctly fastened and adjusted
at all times. Correct use of the seat
belts can help reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of an
accident. Do not pass seat belts over
sharp edges: they could tear. Do not
pin anything to the seat belts. This
could reduce their initial strength and
cause them to tear in the event of a
crash.
Refer to “Occupants Restraint
Systems”
in section “Before
Starting”
for further information.
