Liftgate Operation" in this section,
and repeat the arming operation, to
be able to arm the alarm system.
The buttons - located on the outer
edge of the left trunk compartment
lining and indicated in the figure - can
be used to completely close and lock
the power liftgate and arm the alarm
system if all the doors are closed.
See chapter “ Power Liftgate
Operation” in this section for further
information.
Each time the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the anti-intrusion and anti-lift
sensors actively monitor the vehicle.
When arming the security alarm, it is
possible to disable these sensors by
pressing the
button on the key fob
three times within 5 seconds from the
moment the system has been armed
(meanwhile the security alarm light
flashes rapidly). To disarm the System Use any of the following steps to
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
• Press the button on key fob RKE
transmitter.
• Grasp the “Passive Entry” unlock
door handle (see “Passive Entry
System” in this section for further
information).
• Press the START/STOP button so as
to release the OFF position.
NOTE:
• When the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the interior power door lock
switch will not allow unlocking of
the doors.
• The use of the emergency key into
the driver door lock and the use of
the button
on the key fob
cannot arm or disarm the security
alarm of the vehicle.
• The vehicle security alarm remains
engaged while accessing the power
liftgate. Pressing the button
between the license plate lights will
not disarm the vehicle security
alarm. If anyone enters the vehicle
through the liftgate and opens a
door, the alarm will trigger. The vehicle security alarm is designed
to protect your vehicle; however, you
can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If
one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
vehicle security alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will activate. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed
and the battery becomes
disconnected, the vehicle security
alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior
lights will flash, the buzzer will
activate. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.Before Starting

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

Recirculation and Air Quality
Sensor (AQS)
When outside air contains smoke,
odours, or high humidity, or if rapid
cooling is desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
recirculation control button or the
relevant soft-key to activate the two
different functionalities.
The recirculation function, that allows
to open/close the A/C air inlet by
operating the
button on the
climate control panel or the MTC+
soft-key, is integrated with the Air
Quality Sensor.
This sensor, positioned upstream of
the A/C filter, in front of the air intake
of the A/C system, detects the
presence of polluting substances and
submits an electric signal to the A/C
control unit, that closes the intake of
the external air by activating the air
recirculation.
The
button or the MTC+ soft-key
can therefore enable three operating
modes, switchable in sequence.
Starting from the outside air condition
with LED on the button off and MTC+
soft-key not highlighted, in which the
external air is aspirated by the A/C
system and treated to be introduced
into the passenger compartment,
subsequent actuations of the button or the MTC+ soft-key
change the state as follows.
• First press: the A/C system activates
the automatic recirculation control
by using the signal transmitted from
the AQS. The symbol ‘’A’’ on the
button and the MTC+ soft-key
lights up.
• Second press: the A/C system
activates the recirculation, the LED
on the
button or the MTC+
soft-key lights up. The A/C system
will stay this way up to a new
actuation, or until the increased
humidity could lead to windshield
fogging: in this case the recirculation
automatically switches to external
air.
• Third press: the A/C system switches
back to external air (default
operating mode).
The next press of the
button or
the MTC+ soft-key restars the
operating cycle just described.
NOTE:
To avoid the risk of fogging, the AQS
is disabled when the external
temperature falls below 35°F (2°C). NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation
mode may lead to window fogging.
Select the MIX mode
and increase
the blower speed to prevent fogging.
MAX A/C
Activating this function, the system
switches to exit “AUTO”, enter “A/C”

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.

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
