snow-covered or slippery roads. Adaptive Cruise Control -
ACC (optional) ADAS Equipments The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is
part of ADAS equipments together
with:
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA)
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• Highway Assist (HAS)
• Traffic Sign Assist (TSA).
FCW, HAS and TSA are separate
functions that may not be present in
the ADAS equipment. For more details
see “Forward Collision Warning -
FCW”, “Highway Assist - HAS" and
"Traffic Sign Assist - TSA" in this
section.
NOTE:
LKA and ABSA are described in the
relevant chapters of this section.
ACC Preview The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
further increases the drive comfort
ensured by the Cruise Control when
driving on highways and freeways.
Always consider that ACC is not a safety system and is not designed to
prevent accidents.
The ACC allows driver to keep Cruise
Control active in limited or moderate
traffic conditions with no need to
constantly restore the Cruise Control.
The ACC uses a radar sensor, located
on the front grille behind the trident,
and the forward-facing camera behind
the internal rear-view mirror to detect
the presence of a vehicle ahead at a
close distance and moving in the same
direction.
This vehicle, in this chapter, will be
indicated as "target vehicle" or
"vehicle ahead".
NOTE:
• If the sensor detects no vehicle
ahead, the ACC system will maintain
set steady speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicleDriving

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.

Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
"Services" section on the website
www.maserati.com. Blind Spot Assist – BSA
(without ACC) BSA System Operation The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system uses
two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to
detect highway licensable vehicles
(cars, buses, motorbikes, etc.) that
enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The example shown in the figure
highlights the blind spots on either
side of the vehicle when oncoming
traffic is approaching from behind.
When the vehicle is started, the BSA
warning light will momentarily
illuminate in both outside rear view
mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational and on. The BSA
system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear and
enters standby mode when the
transmission is in (P) Park.
The BSA detection zone shown in
figure covers approximately one lane
on both sides of the vehicle
(approximately 11 ft or 3.3 m). The
blind spot area extends from
immediately behind the exterior
rear-view mirrors up to about 23 ft (7
m) behind the rear bumper.Driving
5
305

The BSA system monitors the detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or
higher and will alert the driver of
vehicles in these areas.
WARNING!
• The BSA system does NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching
vehicles that are outside the
detection zones.
• The BSA might alert the driver too
late especially in case of rapidly
approaching vehicles.
WARNING!
Risk of accident despite Blind Spot
Assist (BSA).
BSA does not detect/react to the
following:
• Overtaking vehicles close on the
side, placing them in the blind spot
area. As a result, BSA may neither
give warnings nor intervene in such
situations. • Always pay attention to the traffic
situation and maintain a safe
distance at the side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
If
your vehicle has
experienced any
damage in the area where the sensor
is located, even if the fascia is not
damaged, the sensor may have
become misaligned. Take your vehicle
at an Authorized Maserati Dealer to
verify sensor alignment. Having a
sensor that is misaligned will result in
the BSA not operating to specification.
The area on the rear bumper fascia
where the radar sensors are located
must remain free of snow, ice, and
dirt/road contamination so that the
BSA system can function properly. Do
not cover or block the area of the rear
bumper fascia where the radar sensors
are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, spoilers, bicycle racks,
etc.).
The BSA system notifies the driver of
vehicles or objects in the detection
zones by illuminating the BSA warning
light located in the outside mirrors in
addition to sounding an audible
(chime) alert and reducing the radio
volume (if the radio is on). Refer to “BSA and RCP Setting” in this chapter
for further information.
The BSA system monitors the detection
zone from three different entry points
(side, rear, overtaking traffic) while
driving to see if an alert is necessary.
The BSA system will issue an alert
whenever a vehicle enters any one
detection zone as outlined below.
Speed Range of Use

Minimum 6 (10)
Engaged/activated 6 (10)
Maximum – (–)
Entering from the Side

Entering from the Rear
The alert will turn on when the
vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of more than 27 mph (43 km/h).
Overtaking Traffic
The figures show the vehicle
approaching (A) and passing (O)
another vehicle in the overtaking lane.
If you pass another vehicle slowly, the
vehicle remains in the blind spot for
approximately 2 seconds, the BSA
warning light in the outside mirror
will illuminate after 1.5 seconds.
If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater, the warning
light will not illuminate. Other Cases
The BSA system is not designed to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foliage
heaps, berms, etc. However,
occasionally the system may alert on
such objects. This is normal operation
and your vehicle does not require
service. The BSA system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the
opposite direction of the vehicle in
adjacent lanes.
WARNING!
• The BSA system is only an aid to
help detect vehicles in the blind spot
zones.
