Once it is set in the menu bar, the new
menu will be immediately operational.
NOTE:
The yellow LED on the button
indicates the disabled status of
Start&Stop system and vice versa.
If the driving conditions allow it, the
user can re-enable the Start&Stop
function at any time using one of
previous ways.
NOTE:
After user intervention, the Start&Stop
system will automatically update the
status of the function in all contexts
where it can be modified.
Start&Stop System Failure When the indicator light and the
related message illuminate on the TFT
display (see chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”) there is a
malfunction in the Start&Stop system
and the engine cannot be switched off
and restarted automatically. To switch
off or restart the engine it is necessary
to push the START/STOP . Have the
vehicle checked at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Automatic Transmission The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled 8-speed
automatic transmission, which
automatically changes gear according
to the vehicle's instantaneous usage
parameters (vehicle speed, road
gradient and accelerator pedal
position).
It is possible to change gear manually
thanks to the “M +/-“ (Manual)
position for the shift lever.
The electronic shift lever replaces the
conventional mechanical lever and has
no mechanical connection to the
transmission. The transmission is
operated by electrical actuators on the
hydraulic system and all commands to
the control system are transmitted by
the CAN network. The lever itself
represents a mere user interface. Gear
positions are simulated by solenoids
inside the lever body, which are
computer-controlled and enable or
disable certain positions of the lever.
The solenoids inside the shift lever
prevent the movement of the lever
towards invalid positions.
The electronically-controlled
transmission provides a precise shift
schedule. The transmission electronics
are self-calibrating, therefore theDriving

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

“Off Road 2” ride height is limited
instead up to a max speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h). In case the vehicle speed
should exceed this limit, ride height
will be put automatically to “Off Road
1” while driving mode will remain
“OFF ROAD”.
An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road,
allowing you to anticipate problems.
A higher clearance and the longer
travel of the suspension might allow
the vehicle to overcome some
obstacles.
A higher ground clearance means a
higher center of gravity. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers. Failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover .
Although the pneumatic suspension
system contributes to limiting these
risks by setting precautionary speed
thresholds, the driver must always pay
utmost attention and drive carefully.
WARNING!
“Off Road 2” ride height must always
be selected in case of water fording.
Please remember water fording limits:
max depth of the water must be lower than 19 in (50 cm) and crossing
speed lower than 5 mph (8 km/h).
In “OFF ROAD” drive mode, also
engine,
transmission settings are
changed in order to provide the most
suitable level of torque and selected
gear to improve traction on
low-adherence condition and uphill
climbing.
WARNING!
In case of downhill, the use of the Hill
Descent Control (HDC) is
recommended, especially for relevant
slope and in case of low-adherence
conditions.
Also suspensions (Skyhook Continuous
Damping
Control) are set
to a specific
calibration in “OFF ROAD” drive
mode, in order to obtain the right
damping force provided by the shock
absorbers, combined with the
increased ride heights “Off Road 1”
and “Off Road 2”.
Driving Through Water Set maximum ride height “Off Road
2” before driving through water.
Although your vehicle is capable of
driving through water, a number precautions must be considered
before entering the water.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is capable of water
fording to a maximum of 19 in (50 cm)
of water. To maintain optimal
performance of your vehicle’s heating
and ventilation system it is
recommended to switch the system
into recirculation mode during water
fording.
CAUTION!
When driving through water, do not
exceed 5 mph (8 km/h). Always check
water depth before entering, as a
precaution. Check all fluids
afterwards: driving through water
may cause damage to engine and
driveline that may not be covered by
the new vehicle limited warranty.
Driving through water more than a
few
inches/centimeters deep will
require extra caution to ensure safety
and prevent damage to your vehicle. If
you must drive through water, try to
determine the depth and the bottom
condition (and location of any
obstacles) prior to entering. Proceed
with caution and maintain a steadyDriving

exits from this strategy when the
accelerator pedal is completely
unstuck.
Hill Start Assist (HSA) The HSA system is designed to assist
the driver when starting a vehicle
uphill. HSA will maintain the level of
brake pressure applied for a short
period of time also after releasing the
brake pedal.
If the driver does not apply the
throttle during this short period of
time, the system will release brake
pressure and the vehicle will start
sloping down. The system will release
brake pressure proportionally to the
amount of throttle/torque applied as
the vehicle starts to move in the
chosen direction.
HSA Activation Criteria
The following criteria must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
• vehicle is stationary;
• gear selection matches vehicle uphill
direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is
in forward gear; vehicle backing
uphill is in reverse gear).
HSA will work in R (Reverse) and all
forward gears when the activation
criteria have been met. The system will not activate if the
transmission is placed in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).
Roll-Over Mitigation (ROM) This system anticipates the potential
for wheel lift by monitoring the
driver's steering wheel input and the
speed of the vehicle. When ROM
determines that the rate of change of
the steering wheel angle and vehicle's
speed are sufficient to potentially
cause wheel lift, it then applies the
appropriate brake and may also
reduce engine power to lessen the
chance that wheel lift will occur.
ROM will only intervene during very
severe or evasive driving maneuvers.
ROM can only reduce the chance of
wheel lift occurring during severe or
evasive driving maneuvers. It cannot
prevent wheel lift due to other factors,
such as road and off-road conditions,
leaving the roadway, or striking
objects or other vehicles.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading,
road and off-road conditions, and
driving conditions, influence the
chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ROM cannot prevent all wheel
lift or roll-overs, especially those that
involve leaving the roadway or
striking objects or other vehicles. The
capabilities of a ROM-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.
Trailer Sway Mitigation (TSM) TSM uses sensors in the vehicle to
recognize an excessively swaying
trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway.
The system may reduce engine power
and apply the brake of the
appropriate wheel(s) to counteract the
sway of the trailer. TSM will become
active automatically once an
excessively swaying trailer is
recognized.
TSM cannot stop all trailers from
swaying. Always use caution when
towing a trailer and follow the trailer
tongue weight recommendations.
Refer to “Trailer Towing” in this
section for further information. When
TSM is functioning, the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” will flash (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “DashboardDriving

Use of the Engine Breaking-In Today's most modern production
methods are designed to provide
extremely precise construction and
assembly of components. However,
moving parts do undergo a settling
process, basically in the first hours of
vehicle operation.
Do not drive keeping at a constant
high speed rate for a prolonged time.
While cruising, brief full-throttle
acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle
operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality
grades, see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand
miles/kilometers of operation. This
should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as
an indication of malfunction.
Specific Requirements
Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first
620 mi trip (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not
exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has
warmed up sufficiently (coolant
temperature: 149-158°F /65 70°).
Trailer Towing
During the first 620 mi (1000 km) of a
new vehicle it is advisable not to tow a
trailer. This allows to limit the load on
the engine and on the other parts of
the vehicle.
While Driving Never travel with the tachometer
indicator approaching the peak rpm,
not even downhill. When the
tachometer indicator is approaching
the peak rpm (red colored zone), take
precautions to avoid exceeding that
limit. Ensure proper operation of different
devices checking their respective
control telltales.
CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, they indicate a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.

ahead, the ACC system automatically
kicks in by slightly accelerating or
braking (to avoid exceeding the
initially set speed) so that the vehicle
keeps present distance, trying to
adapt to the speed of the detected
vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
• The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is
designed to increase vehicle driving
comfort. It must not be considered
as a means of replacing the required
attention of the driver. The driver is
always required to drive carefully.
The driver is always required to pay
utmost attention to driving
conditions (road, traffic, weather)
and style (speed, distance from
sensed vehicle ahead, brake use).
Driver has the full responsibility of
the vehicle therefore his attention is
crucial to keeping vehicle control, in
particular when approaching curves
and situations with heavy traffic.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury
• In some driving scenarios, the ACC
could have detection problems. In
such cases, the ACC could kick in late or unexpectedly. The driver must be
careful since his/her intervention
could be necessary.
• It is always the driver’s responsibility
to obey speed limits and to keep
minimum legal distance to the
preceding vehicle.
• ACC system can decelerate only with
limited braking, it cannot execute
emergency braking.
The ACC system:
•
Does not activate/react in the
presence of pedestrians, bicycles,
incoming traffic from opposite
direction and steady objects such as
a vehicle stuck in a traffic jam.
• Is meant for the use on highways
and well-built roads, not for city
traffic or mountain roads.
• May not have enough time to react
and/or decelerate sufficiently on
vehicles when lane is changed too
quickly or the relative speed is too
high. In such cases the driver has to
react appropriately and without any
acoustic/visual warning.
• Cannot consider road, traffic and
weather conditions and might prove
limited when visibility is poor.
• Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions and this could cause an incorrect assessment
of the required safety distance.
It is recommended to disable the ACC
system in the following instances:
• When driving in the fog, heavy rain,
heavy snow, slush, heavy traffic and
similar complex situations such as
highway construction zones.
• When entering a junction lane or a
slip road to leave the highway; when
driving on narrow, icy, snowy,
slippery roads, or on uphill and
downhill roads.
• The system is designed and calibrate
for car with no trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow to
drive safely at constant speed.
Displayed information Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
condition, as well as the LKA and HAS
status, is displayed on instrument
cluster after selecting “Driver Assist”
menu (see paragraph “TFT Display:

Apart from the image at the center of
the display, CC, ACC, HDC, LKA and
HAS systems status is represented by
icons at the top left and right. These
icons remain displayed even when
exiting the “Driver Assist” screen.
The vehicle(s) and horizontal bars
represent the ACC status as ready
(white) or with sensed vehicle ahead
(green); the white, grey or yellow lines
represent the LKA and HAS systems.
The ACC screen can be displayed any
time driver changes system status or
settings. After 5 seconds of ACC
inactivity, the display goes back to last

(FCW), if equipped.
The ACC is not activated in the
following conditions:
• When braking.
• When parking brake is activated.
• When automatic transmission is in P
(Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral).
• When vehicle speed is out of preset
speed range.
• When brakes are overheated.Driving

To increase or decrease the number of
bars, corresponding to the gap from
vehicle ahead, press and release the
distance setting button. Each press and release of the button
changes the gap starting from 3 bars
(default distance) and moving in a
sequential way towards the minimum
distance: 3 → 2 → 1 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 4 and so
on.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle
will maintain the set speed. If a slower
moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the system displays the target
vehicle icon before the bars. From that
moment, the system adjusts the vehicle
speed automatically to maintain the
distance setting, regardless of the set
speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set
distance until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of the
lane or view of the sensor.
• The distance setting is changed. • The driver disables the system.
The maximum braking applied by ACC
is limited; however, the driver can
always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary. Any time the ACC system
automatically operates the brakes, the
brake lights will turn on as if the driver
was braking.
A Proximity Warning on display will
alert the driver if ACC predicts that its
maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance.
If this occurs, a visual alert will flash on
the display and a chime will sound
while ACC continues to apply its
maximum braking capacity.Driver Assist Page

Lane Keeping Assist - LKA
(optional, with ACC only) This system was designed especially
for highway or freeway driving, to
reduce the risk that the vehicle, under
particular circumstances, accidentally
departs from the lane in use. When
this happens, graphic instructions on
instrument cluster display together
with steering torque application and
steering wheel vibration (depending
on the distance to the line) warn the
driver that the vehicle is going out of
the lane and initiate a steering
maneuver to try to prevent the lane
exit.
To detect lane lines, the system uses
the forward-facing camera behind of
the rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used also by the lighting system
to manage the automatic high beams.
The logic core is in the front radar.
LKA system remembers the condition
it was in before turning off the
vehicle.
Refer to “MTC+ "Controls" Screen” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information. NOTE:
In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)
Minimum 37 (60)
Engaged/activated 37 (60)
Maximum 112 (180)
Customized Settings LKA is configurable by the driver in
order to maximize its efficiency based
on the driver driving style and the
expectation of the system, reducing at
the same time the possible
invasiveness.
Entering "Controls" page on MTC+
display the driver can see the current
setting beside the "Lane Keeping
Assist" soft-key.
Touching “Lane Keeping Assist”
soft-key can disable or enable the
system. Touching the soft-key on the side the
driver can change the setting.
Driver warnings can be only "Visual"
