Normal Starting of the
Engine WARNING!
It is dangerous to run the engine in an
enclosed area. The engine consumes
oxygen and discharges carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other
toxic gases in the atmosphere.
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

vehicle
When doors are opened, the
instrument
cluster displays the
Maserati
Logo in the center and the
complete odometer plus the open
doors indicator
in the lower part of
the cluster.
Before starting the engine, close the
doors, adjust your seat, the inside and
outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt
and instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position before you can start
the engine. Apply the brakes before
shifting into any driving gear (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section). CAUTION!
• Before starting the engine, switch off
the electrical devices with a high
power consumption (air-conditioning
and heating system, heated rear
window, headlights, etc.).
• Do not start the engine if the fuel
level in the tank is low.
The keyless ignition allows the driver
to
operate the ignition
switch by
pushing the center button, as long as
the key fob RKE transmitter is within
the passenger compartment (check
“Keys” in section “Before Starting” for
further information).
By pressing the brake pedal and
pushing the START/STOP button the
engine starts. Instrument cluster
displays the initial sequence with
indicator light and analog instruments

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

vibrate and a graphic will display on
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
• In case the vehicle approaches a
curve that is too tight in relation to
the current speed the system will
disengage, therefore the driver must
be prepared to take over control of
the vehicle immediately at any time.
To avoid this situation it is important
that the vehicle speed is not set
higher than the current speed limit
of the road.
• Highway Assist (HAS) is a hands-on
feature! You must keep your hands
on the steering wheel at all times.
The HAS system will disengage and
ACC will cancel if your hands are
removed from the steering wheels
for a set amount of time.
• HAS is intended for use only on
highways or limited access freeways
with a fully attentive driver. When
using HAS, hold the steering wheel
and be aware of surrounding traffic
and road conditions. Always be
prepared to immediately take over
control of the vehicle from the HAS
system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
• The following list does not fully
represent all situations in which HAS
may not function as intended. Do
NOT solely rely on the HAS system
to control the vehicle. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert
and safely control the vehicle at all
times.
• If the windshield is replaced, you
must have the forward-facing
camera remounted and aligned by
an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Many factors can impact the
performance
of HAS causing
the
system to be unable to function as
intended. These include (but are not
limited to):
• Narrow, winding or curvy roads.
• Poor visibility (due to heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Bright light (oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) or shadows.
• Damage or obstruction caused by
mud, ice, snow, etc.
• A damaged or misaligned bumper.
• Interference from other equipment
that generates electromagnetic
waves. • Wet roads, roads covered or partially
covered by snow.
• Construction zones.
HAS Operation With ACC set (see “Adaptive Cruise
Crontrol – ACC” in this section), HAS
system activates by simply pressing the
button on the steering wheel.
Once the conditions are met, HAS will
engage.
CAUTION!
The Highway Assist (HAS) system may
take up to 5 seconds to engage once
all conditions are met.
The conditions for HAS to engage are
as
follows:
• HAS must be turned on or enabled.
NOTE:
In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• The vehicle must be on the highway
or limited access freeway.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) must
be engaged.
• Left and right visible lane lines.Driving

from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any
case, it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below.
• Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention. • Reduce your speed, especially on
roads with no streetlights.
• Stop at early signs of drowsiness.
Continuing to drive would be a risk
for yourself and for others. Have a
rest before continuing your trip.
• Keep the vehicle at a greater
distance from vehicles in front of
you than you would during the day:
it is difficult to assess the speed of
other vehicles when you only see the
lights.
• Use the high beams only outside of
densely-populated areas and when
you are sure that they will not
disturb other drivers.
• When another vehicle is
approaching, switch from high
beams (if on) to low beams.
• Keep lights and headlights clean.
• Outside of densely-populated areas,
beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On
a wet road all maneuvers are more
difficult since wheel grip on the road
is significantly reduced. This means
that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.
Some advices for driving in the rain
are listed below. • Reduce your speed and keep a
greater safety distance from the
vehicles in front of you. High speed
may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
• When driving on wet or slushy roads,
it is possible for a wedge of water to
build up between the tire and road
surface. This is known as
aquaplaning and may cause partial
or complete loss of vehicle control
and stopping ability. To reduce this
possibility: slow down if the road has
standing water or puddles.
• Heavy rain substantially reduces
visibility. In these circumstances, even
during the day, turn on the low
beams, to be more visible to other
drivers.
• Set the air conditioning and heating
system controls on the defogging
function, in order to avoid any
visibility problem.
• Periodically check the conditions of
the windshield wiper blades.
• In low grip conditions use “I.C.E.”
driving mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” and “Off-road Drive” in this
section).
• Avoid driving with ESC OFF as this
will likely cause a loss of control of
the vehicle.Driving

Hazard Warning Flashers The hazard warning flashers switch is
located in the center of the central
console, behind the multimedia
navigation controls.
Press the switch to turn on the hazard
warning flashers to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. When these
lights illuminate, the turn signals, the
related indicator lights on the
instrument cluster and the button start
flashing.
Press the switch a second time to turn
off the hazard warning flashers.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the hazard warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
CAUTION!
• When the hazard warning flashers
are activated, the turn signals
control is disabled.
• The extended use of the hazard
warning flashers may wear down
your battery.
In the Event of an
Accident It is important always to keep calm.
• If not directly involved, stop at a safe
distance of at least ten yards (meters)
away from the accident area.
• If on a highway, stop without
obstructing the emergency lane and
be especially careful if you need to
exit the vehicle.
• Turn off the engine and switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
• At night, illuminate the accident area
with the headlights.
• Always act with caution to avoid the
risk of being crashed into by other
drivers.
• Indicate that an accident has
occurred by placing the emergency
triangle (if equipped) in a well visible
position and at the prescribed
distance.
• Call the emergency services,
providing as much information as
possible. On the highway, use the
special call boxes.
• Remove the ignition key (if present)
from the vehicles involved.
• If fuel or other chemical products can
be smelled, do not smoke and askIn an Emergency

mineral type. Using mineral fluids
damages the special rubber linings of
the brake system irreparably.
WARNING!
• To avoid contamination from foreign
materials or moisture, use only new
brake fluid or fluid that has been in
a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap secured
at all times.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid.
Brake fluid can also damage painted
and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does
not spill over these surfaces.
• Do not allow petroleum based fluid
to contaminate the brake fluid.
Brake seal components could be
damaged.
Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The
reservoir on the
left side of the
engine compartment contains the fluid
to wash the windshield, the window
liftgate and headlights (if equipped).
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer fluid appears together with the
related telltale
add more fluid as
soon as possible.
Depending on the system installed in
the vehicle, the fluid reservoir may
contain nearly 5.3 Quarts (5 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid or
nearly 3.7 Quarts (3.5 liters) of washer
fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck. • Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to “Refillings”
in section “Features and
Specifications”) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out
the residual water.
• When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield/headlight washer system in
cold weather, select a solution or
mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate.
This rating information can be found
on most washer fluid containers.Maintenance and Care

External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the bodywork.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of originating corrosive
processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept
clear and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to
avoid damaging it. Glass Surfaces
All
glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window on the liftgate equipped
with electric defrosters. Do not use
scrapers or other sharp instrument
that may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
When cleaning is performed, keep all
metal objects at a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the
Light Clusters
With cold or humid climates, after a
driving rain or after cleaning the car,
the surface of the front and rear light
clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity differences
between the lens internal and
external surface, which nevertheless
does not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappears when switching on the
lights, starting from the centre of the
diffuser and gradually going to the
edges.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not useMaintenance and Care
