others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake
trigger, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition switch in the ACC or RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
• An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the key fob
from vehicle, cycle the ignition
switch to OFF and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle
unattended. Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer
System The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle
operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, an
ignition switch and a RF (Radio
Frequency) receiver to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only key fobs expressly
programmed can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light (see
picture) will light up for a three
seconds bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics: this
condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation
(engine running for longer than 10
seconds), an electronic fault is
detected. Should this occur, contact
the Authorized Maserati Dealer as
soon as possible for assistance.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer system is
not compatible with some remote
starting systems that can be installed
in after-market.
Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All key fobs provided with the new
vehicle
have been updated with the
vehicle electronics and are therefore
able to guarantee correct functioning
and protection.Before Starting

cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the air bag
warning light and the “Service Airbag
System” message either momentarily
or continuously. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction.
A beep will sound if the light
illuminates again after initial startup.
The air bag warning light monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system
electrical components.
WARNING!
• If the ignition switch is in RUN
position, the engine is off and the vehicle is in complete stop, the air
bags can be deployed in case of
collision. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat in
a rearward facing seat even if the car
is not moving. Deployment of the air
bag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Please note
that when the ignition switch is in
the OFF or ACC position or is turned
off, the air bag will not deploy in
case of collision. Therefore, in these
cases, lack of air bag deployment is
not an indication of a system
malfunction.
• Ignoring the air bag warning light
and message in your instrument
cluster could mean you won't have
the air bags to protect you in the
event of a collision. If the light does
not come on as a bulb check when
the ignition is first turned on, stays
on after you start the engine, or if it
comes on as you drive, have an
Authorized Maserati Dealer service
the air bag system immediately.
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
When
the ORC detects a collision
requiring the advanced front air bags,
it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated
to inflate the advanced front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the dashboard
separate and fold out of the way as
the air bags inflate to their full size.
The air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front
passenger. The advanced front air bag
gas is vented through the vent holes in
the sides of the air bag. In this way,
the air bags do not interfere with your
control of the vehicle.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The ORC unit determines if a side
collision requires the side air bags to
inflate, based on the severity and type
of collision. Based on the severity and
type of collision, the side air bag
inflator on the crash side of the vehicle
may be triggered, releasing a quantity
of nontoxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The side air
bag moves at a very high speed and
with such a high force that it could
injure you if you are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the side air bagBefore Starting

Exhaust Gas WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
liftgate open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide
entry into the
passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system. Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the Authorized Maserati
Dealer inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.
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

• Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
• If the belt has been sharply pulled,
for example as the result of an
accident, the safety belt, together
with the anchoring devices, the
anchoring device mounting screws
and the pretensioner must be
completely replaced. Even if the belt
does not present any exterior signs
of wear or damage, it may have lost
its restraining properties.

Automatic Headlights This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by
the twilight sensor positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rear view mirror. To turn the
system on, rotate the lights switch
clockwise to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running and the
twilight sensor in “NIGHT” mode
before the headlights turn on in
automatic mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on and off the external lights is to be
considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
the front and rear fog lights on and
off manually.
Headlights On with Wipers When this feature is active, the
headlights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after activation of the
wipers, if the lights switch is placed in
the “AUTO” position. The headlights
will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if
previously activated with this function.
NOTE:
The headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
Headlights Time Delay This safety feature provides headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the
delay feature, place the ignition
switch in the OFF or ACC position
while the headlights are still on. Then turn off the headlights within 45
seconds.
The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
“0”). If you turn the headlights or
position lights on, or place the
ignition switch in RUN , the system will
cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off (“0”
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off (“0” position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are
active due to “Headlights with
Wipers”, then the headlamps delay
feature will not be activated when
the ignition switch is set in OFF
position.Understanding the Vehicle

Bi-Xenon Headlight (for
headlights without AFS) The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
WARNING!
If xenon headlamp replacement is
necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Headlight with AFS (for
versions/markets, where
provided) These headlights combines the “xeno”
technology to the AFS (Advanced
Frontlighting System) adaptive
features.
The system is able to process signals of
onboard systems and subsequently
start up five strategic steps in the
following situations:
• “motorway beam”; • “country beam”;
• “town beam”;
• “adverse weather beam”;
• “tourist beam” (for example in
countries with circulation on the
opposite side). In this case this
function must be activated via the
menu of MTC+ (refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
The advantages offered by the AFS
system are perceived especially in case
of bad weather, fog and/or insufficient
road indications providing broader
illumination of the side zones, which
are normally left in the dark, and for
motorway driving (see comparison
rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye stress and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the
road sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders
and motorcycle drivers).
The table shows the light values (lux)
and the light flux (lumen) of AFS
headlights. Combining a bending mode and a
vertical adjustment, the system assures
better visibility of the road surface
when driving on a curve, steering, or
in the event of road deviations,
optimizing vertical and horizontal
light distribution according to the
current drive path.
The increased lateral illumination is
gained through a fixed bending light
or a cornering light (depending on the
market) elaborating information
about the steering angle, the vehicle
speed and the turn indicator.
The improved vertical illumination, in
case of fast acceleration and/or fast
deceleration, will assure the deeper
illuminated distance from the vehicle,
through a dynamical adaptation of
headlight vertical attitude.Understanding the Vehicle

NOTE:
• Each time the adaptive headlight
system is turned on, the headlights
will perform a self-regulation cycle.
• All AFS features are available only if
the vehicle is moving forward.
• “Adaptive Front Light” function can
be turned on or off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instrument and
Controls” for further information. “Full-LED” Headlight with AFS
(optional) These headlights combines the
“Full-LED” technology to the AFS
(Advanced Frontlighting System)
adaptive features, using a
forward-facing camera located on the
windshield behind the internal
rear-view mirror.
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology allows having
headlights with a simpler construction
and a more compact size compared to
those equipped with traditional or
Xenon light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption. These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light bulb
replacements and the fuel
consumption.

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

The light should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds.
The light should switch off unless the
parking brake is engaged or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not
illuminate, have the light system
repaired by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The light will also switch on when the
parking brake is engaged with the
ignition switch in RUN position.
This light only indicates the brake is
engaged but not the clamping force of
the parking brake to the wheels.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on can be very dangerous and is
not recommended. Part of the brake
system may have failed, resulting in
increased braking distances and the
risk of an accident. Have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Air Bag Indicator Light
This
light will illuminate
for a
few seconds for a bulb check
when the ignition switch is in
RUN . If the light does not
illuminate while starting the engine, stays lit, or switches on while driving,
have the system checked at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible.
In the latter case, the message will
remain displayed: to hide it, press the
button
on the steering wheel right
side.
See “Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) – Air bags” in section “Before
Starting” for further information.
WARNING!
If the warning light remains ON or if it
does not illuminate or illuminates
while driving, contact your Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. Right Turn Signal Indicator
This indicator lights up
when
the right turn signals or the
hazard flashers are switched
on.
The indicator will flash at the same
frequency of the turn signals and is
controlled by the turn signal lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile (1.6
km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will advise the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.
After the bulb check or while driving,
if a seat belt is unbuckled, together
with the acoustic signal the seat belt
reminder light will light up and a
message will indicate which belt is not
fastened.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
driveability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
• If the MIL
is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required. Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs In some localities, it may be a legal
requirement to pass an inspection of
your vehicle's emissions control
system. Failure to pass could prevent
vehicle registration. For states that
require an Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies
the “Malfunction Indicator Light
”
is functioning and is not on when the
engine is running, and that the OBD II
system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be
ready. The OBD II system may not be
ready if your vehicle was recently
serviced, recently had a dead battery
or a battery replacement. If the OBD II
system should be determined not
ready for the I/M test, your vehicle
may fail the test.
To check if your vehicle's OBD II system
is ready, you must do the following: 1. Press the ignition device to the
RUN position, but do not crank or
start the engine.
2. As soon as you press the ignition
device to turn the engine On, you
will see the MIL remain
illuminated for 15 seconds, this is a
normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later,
one of two things will happen:
•
The MIL
will remain
illuminated and a message error
will appear on your instrument
cluster. This means that your
vehicle's OBD II system is not
ready and you should not
proceed to the I/M station.
•
The MIL
will turn Off. This
means that your vehicle's OBD II
system is ready and you can
proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready, you
should see an Authorized Maserati
Dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle
was recently serviced or had a battery
failure or replacement, you may need
to do nothing more than drive your
vehicle as you normally would in order
for your OBD II system to update. A
