climate control MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

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!

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

Front Heated Seats The front seats are equipped with
heaters in both seat cushions and
seatbacks.
The seats comfort commands are in
the “Climate” screen of the MTC+.
They are present in the "Climate"
screen even when the A/C is off. See
“Air Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further details.
When the MTC+ System is in any mode
other than “Climate” (Radio”,
“Media”, “Controls”, etc.) the icons of
the active front seats comfort
functions will be indicated on the
upper part of the display.
WARNING!
• Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must be
careful when using the seat heater.
It may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time. • Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat.
Front Seats Heat Function
NOTE:
The
engine must be
running for the
heated seats to operate.

time to select LO-level heating. • Within 15 seconds, touch the same
soft-key a third time to shut off the
seat heating.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within 2 to 5 minutes.
When the HI-level setting is selected,
the heater will provide a boosted heat
level during the first 4 minutes of
operation.
Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to
LO-level after a maximum of 60
minutes of continuous operation.
At that time, the display will indicate
the change from HI to LO.
The LO-level setting will turn OFF
automatically after a maximum of
approximately 45 minutes.Understanding the Vehicle

Analog Clock To adjust the analog clock located on
the center of the dashboard between
the air outlets, use the MTC+ System
(see “MTC+ Settings” in this section).
The time can be displayed also on the
MTC+ main menu bar and on the

automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system that allows to adjust separately
the temperature and the airflow
distribution in the left and in the right
zone of the passenger compartment,
according to the requests of the driver
and the front passenger.
A humidity sensor, positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rear view mirror, allows the A/C
system to prevent/eliminate fogging of
the windshield and side windows.
The best efficacy in preventing
fogging is obtained by selecting the
“AUTO” function, described later.
A dual zone solar sensor helps to
achieve the best comfort in presence
of solar radiation.
Upon request, the vehicle can be
equipped with an additional
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system installed in the central console,
between the front seats. The
additional dual-zone module, can be
operated by the rear passengers (see
“Four-zone Climate Control
(optional)” in this chapter), by means
of the control panel at the end of
central console, but also by the front passengers using the soft-keys on
MTC+ display.
Dual Zone Climate Controls This system can be operated by using
the controls of the climate control
panel on the dashboard, or the
soft-keys on the MTC+ display when
“Climate” mode is selected.
In the "Climate" screen of the MTC+,
the front seats comfort setting
soft-keys may be present (optional
equipments). The “OFF” state of the
front seats comfort setting is shown on
