Radar Device - Regulatory
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

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

Fuel Filler Cap Open Warning
Light After refueling the car
performs a check of the fuel
filler cap and the amber
warning light on the TFT
display comes on if it is not correctly
closed, after approximately 10 minutes
also depending on driving conditions.
If the problem is in the fuel system, the
Malfunction Indicator Light
also
comes on.
If the fuel filler cap is locked and the
issue remains in the system, at the next
engine start only the Malfunction
Indicator Light
comes on. In this
case, contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob RKE
transmitter, use the fuel filler door
emergency release located in the
trunk.
• Open the power liftgate (see “Power
Liftgate Operation” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Lift the access cover on the left side
of the trunk. • Pull the release cable moderately to
avoid its possible break. It's not
possible to feel or hear the unlocking
of the fuel filler door actuator.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door.Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to have
the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent themDriving

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

Driving in Fog
If the fog is dense, avoid traveling if
possible.
When driving in mist, blanket fog or
when there is the possibility of banks
of fog, please consider some advices
listed below.
• Keep a moderate speed.
• Even in daytime, turn on the low
beams and front and rear fog lights.
Do not use the high beams.
• Remember that fog creates
dampness on the asphalt and thus
any type of maneuver is more
difficult and braking distances are
extended.
• Keep a safe distance from the vehicle
in front of you.
• Avoid sudden changes in speed as
much as possible.
• Whenever possible, avoid overtaking.
• If you are forced to stop the vehicle
(breakdowns, impossibility of
proceeding due to poor visibility,
etc.), first of all, try to stop off of the
travel lane. Then turn on the hazard
warning flashers and, if possible, the
low beams. CAUTION!
Be aware that rear fog lights can
bother the drivers following your
vehicle: when visibility is back to
normal, turn off these lights.
Driving in the Mountains
Mountain
roads usually have
many
narrow turns and curves, tunnels and
steep uphill or downhill slopes: please
consider some advices listed below.
• Drive at a moderate speed, avoid
“cutting” corners.
• When driving inside a tunnel in
daylight turn on the low beams in
advance; avoid high beams and be
aware of the rapid brightness
change. Avoid abrupt maneuvers
that could be dangerous for the
following vehicle.
• Never coast downhill with the engine
off or in neutral.
• Remember that passing other
vehicles when driving uphill is slower
and thus requires more free distance
on the road. If you are being
overtaken on a hill, slow down and
allow the other vehicle to pass. Driving on Snow or Ice
Please consider some general advice
for driving in these conditions, listed
below.
• Maintain a very moderate speed.
• Fit snow chains or specific tires if the
road is covered with snow: see the
paragraphs “Tires – General
Information” in this section.
• We recommend you to activate the
“I.C.E.” mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” and “Off-road Drive” in this
section).
• During the winter season, even
apparently dry roads can have icy
sections. Be careful when crossing
bridges, viaducts and roads that have
little exposure to the sun and are
bordered by trees and rocks. They
may be icy.
• Keep an ample safe distance from
the vehicles in front of you.
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces
is dangerous. Accelerate slowly and
carefully whenever there is likely to be
poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud,
loose sand, etc.).Driving

For pressure of trailer tires, follow the
instructions given by the trailer
manufacturer.
After adjusting vehicle tire pressure
and connecting and disconnecting the
trailer, initialize the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) following
the instructions under chapter “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
this section.
Field of Vision of External
Rearview Mirrors Law provisions require the field of
vision of external rearview mirrors to
include the rear trailer corners.
If vehicle external rearview mirrors
cannot cover the required field of
vision, it is possible to install additional
rearview mirrors sticking further out at
the sides.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
towing a trailer and about the
approved components available in the
"Genuine Accessories" range. Trailer Lights Law provisions require trailers to be
equipped with an electrical lighting
system that must include the following
lights:
• Turn signals;
• Position lights;
• Stop lights;
• Rear fog lights;
• Reverse lights;
• License plate lights;
• Side marker lights (for trailer width
over 6.8 ft/2.1 m).
The power input of the trailer lights
must not exceed the values in the
following list.
• Position lights, side marker lights and
license plate lights :6x5Wper side.
• Rear fog lights :2x21W
• Turn signals :2x21W
• Stop lights :4x21W
• Reverse lights :2x21W
Minimum detectable current of Trailer
Tow Module (TTM): 100mA. Trailer Wiring Harness

sealed connector powered at 12VDC
for connection of the corresponding
trailer wiring connector.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for
an internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15W.
CAUTION!
Do not cut or splice wiring into the
vehicle wiring harness. Do not change
cable connections on connectors. TheDriving

table below indicates the function and
section of wire corresponding to every
connector pin as shown in the figure.
If the hooking and/or the electrical
connection between vehicle and
trailer is faulty, the warning light and
the relevant message are displayed on
instrument cluster display (see
example in the figure). In these cases please contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer and avoid
using the vehicle with a trailer.
Removing the Access Cover Before fitting the trailer tongue, the
access cover on the bottom part of the
rear bumper must be removed.
The cover is engaged in the bumper.
• Release cover inner side from
bumper, using the tip of a tool or screwdriver at the points indicated
by the arrows.
• Slide cover downward to disengage
the two projecting elements
indicated in the figure from bumper.
• Store cover in the luggage
compartment.

• Refit the access cover making sure to
engage the two projecting elements
indicated by the arrow fully home
into the bumper.
• Push cover lower end toward
bumper until the two retainers click
in place.
Towing Tips • Before setting out on a trip, check
operation of trailer rear lights and stop lights to ensure you do not
jeopardize other road users' safety.
• Make certain that the load is secured
in the trailer and will not shift
during travel. When trailering cargo
that is not fully secured, dynamic
load shifts can occur that may be
difficult for the driver to control.
• When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your vehicle
or trailer. Overloading can cause a
loss of control, damage to brakes,
driveline, steering, suspension or
tires.
• Safety metal wire must always be
used between your vehicle and
trailer. Always connect the wire to
the hook retainers of the trailer and
vehicle hitch. Cross the wire under
the trailer tongue and allow enough
slack for turning corners.
• Comply with local applicable speed
limits.
• Towing any trailer will increase your
stopping distance. When towing,
you should allow for additional
space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do
so could result in an accident.
• For towing use “Normal” ride
height. • Do not exceed maximum specified
pressure for vehicle and trailer tires.
• Vehicles with trailers should not be
parked on a steep grade. When
parking, put the tow vehicle
transmission in P (Park) and apply
the parking brake on the tow
vehicle. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
• Do not use electronic Cruise Control
(CC and/or ACC) when driving on
slopes or when carrying heavy loads.
• The D (Drive) gear must be selected
when towing. The transmission
controls include a drive strategy to
avoid frequent shifting when
towing. However, if frequent
shifting does occur while in D
(Drive), if provided, you can use the
paddle shift switches to manually
select a lower gear.
• Using a lower gear while operating
the vehicle under heavy loading
conditions, will improve
performance and extend
transmission life by reducing
excessive shifting and heat buildup.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.Driving

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.
