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
instrument cluster display (see “MTC+
Settings” in this section).
Clock lighting works in the same way
as instrument and controls
backlighting (refer to “Lights” in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”). Air Conditioning Controls The vehicle is equipped with an
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
their soft-key.
Front seats and steering wheel comfort
setting soft-keys are present even
when the A/C is off (see "Front Seats"
and/or "Steering Wheel Adjustment"
in section "Understanding the Vehicle"
for further details).Dashboard Instruments and Controls

• “Dashboard” mode
Air flows for each zone from four
adjustable vents of the dashboard,
two vents on the upper part of the
dashboard and two positioned at
the rear end of the central console.
Each of these vents can be singly
adjusted. The air grids or vanes of
the vents can be moved to adjust air
flow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate or close the airflow.
• “Bi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and the fixed floor
vents. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed to let cooler
air come in the dashboard and rear
part of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
• “Defrost” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging. • “Mix” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
defrost/demist vent, the vent under
the dashboard and from floor vent.
This mode is recommended for cold
climates, to improve comfort and
prevent windows fogging.
• “Hi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents,
from the dashboard and central
console adjustable vents and the
fixed floor vents.
• “Tri-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from all the
adjustable/fixed and defrost/demist
vents.
14. “SYNC” mode
Touch the “SYNC” soft-key on the
MTC+ to switch the Sync feature
on/off. The “SYNC” soft-key
illuminates when this feature is
selected. This function is used to
synchronise the passenger
temperature setting with the driver
temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature
setting while in “SYNC” will
automatically exit this feature. 15. “REAR” mode
This soft-key is present only if the
vehicle is equipped with the additional
dual-zone air conditioning system for
rear passengers. Touching "REAR"
soft-key you enter the screen where
the settings available for rear seat
passengers are displayed. For the
description of these controls, see
paragraph "Four-Zone Climate
Controls (optional)" of this chapter.
Dual Zone Climate Control
Functions Air Conditioning (A/C)
The “A/C” soft-key allows to manually
activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the
vents into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, touch the “A/C” soft-key to
turn off the air conditioning and
manually adjust the blower and
airflow mode settings.
When the “A/C” and “AUTO”
functions are switched off it is not
possible to have air at a lower

NOTE:
The Bi-Level mode is designed to
provide comfort by sending cooler air
out of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
7. “Floor” mode
Air comes from the fixed floor vents
under the front seats and on the
lateral sides of the central console.
8. “Torso” mode
Air comes from the adjustable vents on
the central console. Each of these
vents can be singly adjusted. The air
grids of the vents can be moved
up/down and right/left to adjust the
airflow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate the airflow or to close the
vent.
9. AUTO
This function automatically controls
the interior temperature by adjusting
the air flow rate and the air
distribution.
• Press the “AUTO” button: the
automatic rear climate control
switches from manual to automatic
mode and vice-versa. The “AUTO”
symbol on the button illuminates
when this function is activated. • Adjust then the temperature you
wish to maintain by regulating the
left and/or right side temperature
control buttons. Once the desired
temperature is set, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain
that comfort level.
• When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings anymore: simply
allow the system to function
automatically.
To provide you with maximum comfort
in the Automatic mode, during cold
start-ups the blower speed will remain
low until the engine warms up.
Four-Zone Climate Control by the
Driver
By operating the MTC+ display
controls the driver can adjust the
settings of the rear climate zones by
touching “REAR” sof-key. Once you have entered the rear
climate screen, by touching the
following soft-keys, the driver is able
to:
1. The A/C compressor shell turn on.
2. The system controls the interior
temperature (controls 3, 4) by
adjusting the air flow rate and
the air distribution (controls 5) of
the rear passengers.
3. Adjust the temperature in the
left rear zone.
4. Adjust the temperature in the
right rear zone.
5. Set the airflow distribution mode.
6. Synchronise the two rear
passenger temperature setting. If
the driver adjust the temperature
while SYNC mode is on, this will
affect the rear passenger
temperature. If the front or rear
passengers adjust the
temperature setting the system
automatically break the function
and turn it off.
7. Set the blower speed through
seven speed levels.
8. Re-activate the rear climate
setting.
9. Turn off the rear climate option.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

Brake and Stability
Control System The vehicle is equipped with an
Electronic Stability Control System
(ESC), which helps to maintain
directional control in the event of loss
of grip of the tires. The system is able
to detect potentially dangerous
situations for the stability of the
vehicle and automatically sets the
brakes on all four wheels in a
differentiated manner, in order to
provide a torque settlement of the
vehicle.
ESC includes the following subsystems:
• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System);
• EBD (Electronic Brake-force
Distribution);
• TCS (Traction Control System);
• BAS (Brake Assist System);
• BTO (Brake Throttle Override);
• HSA (Hill Start Assist);
• ROM (Roll-Over Mitigation);
• TSM (Trailer Sway Mitigation);
• HDC (Hill Descent Control).
WARNING!
• These systems cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from
affecting the vehicle, nor can they
increase traction, braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by
the condition of the vehicle brakes
and tires.
• These systems cannot prevent
collisions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too
closely, or hydroplaning.
• The capabilities of a vehicle
equipped with these systems must
never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the driver’s and the
passenger’s safety or the safety of
others.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) This system enhances directional
control and stability of the vehicle
under various driving conditions. The
ESC corrects over steering and under
steering of the vehicle by applying the
brake to the appropriate wheel.
Engine power may also be reduced to
assist in counteracting the conditions
of instability and maintain the right
direction. The system is also able to
reduce the engine power. Through sensors fitted on the vehicle,
the ESC system detects the driver’s
chosen direction comparing it to the
one maintained while running. In case
of discrepancy between the required
trajectory and the current one, the
ESC system brakes the appropriate
wheel to counteract over or under
steering.
• Oversteer - when the vehicle is
turning more than appropriate for
the steering wheel position.
• Understeer - when the vehicle is
turning less than appropriate for the
steering wheel position.
The ESC system has two available
operating modes:
ESC on
This is the normal ESC operating
mode. At each start-up of the vehicle,
the ESC system is set in this mode and
should be used for most driving
conditions. The ESC should only be
turned off for specific reasons as
pointed out in the following
paragraphs.
ESC off
The “ESC off” mode is aimed for a
more spirited driving experience but
also purposeful for driving in sand, or
gravel. The current mode disables the
TCS portion of the ESC and raises theDriving

rating on the tire sidewall on any
tire on the vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tires. Risk of accident
and serious personal injury due to
excessive speed.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed
capability can result in tire failure.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Winter Tires These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle. Winter or all-season tires can
be identified by the M+S (Mud &
Snow) or 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain
Snow Flake) designation on the tire
sidewall.
Before mounting winter tires, contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer to
receive the technical information
necessary to advise you on wheel and
tire compatibility. As to the type of tires to use, inflation
pressures and winter tires
specifications, carefully follow the
indications as reported in the
“Technical Data” and “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapters in section “Features
and Specifications”.
WARNING!
The standard tires profile and rubber
mixture are optimized for wet and dry
driving conditions. Standard tires may
not prove favorable for snow
conditions.
NOTE:
Snow
tires should have the same load
capacity as original equipment tires
and should be mounted on all four
wheels.
Snow Chains Maserati approved traction devices (or
snow chains) may be used to improve
traction on compacted snow in heavy
snow conditions.
They should not be used in off-road
conditions where there is no
compacted snow.
Maserati tested and recommends to
use traction devices with air suspension system in “Off Road 1” or
“Off Road 2” ride height in order to
increase wheel clearance.
In any case do not exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Please contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for further information.
The chains may be fitted only on rear
wheel tires.
Check the snow chain tension after
driving for a distance of about 55 yd
(50 m) with the chains fitted.
With the snow chains fitted, it is
advisable to deactivate the ESC system
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section).
CAUTION!
• The use of non-recommended snow
chains may damage the vehicle.
• Broken snow chains can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate snow chain breakage.
Replace the damaged parts of the
snow chain before further use.
• Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe
turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.Driving

will monitor the actual tire pressure
in the tire.
Premium System The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which
display on the instrument cluster;
• warning light
.
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light will illuminate in
the instrument cluster and an acoustic
signal will notify that tire pressure is
low in one or more of the four tires. The instrument cluster will also display
a screenshot reporting the pressure
values of each tire with flashing low
pressure value.
Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tire/s
with the low pressure (the one/s
flashing in the instrument cluster
graphic) to the recommended cold
pressure inflation value. Once the
system receives the updated tire
pressure value, the system will automatically update, the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will
stop flashing, and the TPMS light
will turn off. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
Tire Pressure System Fault
If a system fault is detected, the TPMS
light
will flash for 75 seconds and
then remain lit followed by a beeping
sound. Therewith, the instrument
cluster will display a "Service Tire
Pressure System" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which
sensor is ineffective.
If the ignition switch is cycled, the
sequence will repeat, in case the
system fault still persists. If the system
fault no longer exists, the TPMS light
will no longer flash, and the
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message will no longer be displayed,
and a pressure value will be displayed
in place of the dashes.
A system fault can occur due to any of
the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic
devices or driving next to facilitiesDriving
5
331
Page 337 of 436
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
value.
• Once you repair, replace or reinstall
a tire with the compact spare tire,
the TPMS will update automatically.
The TPMS light
will turn OFF and
the graphic in the instrument cluster
will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (--), as long as no
tire pressure is below the
low-pressure warning limit in any of
the four tires. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
TPMS Deactivation The TPMS can be deactivated if
replacing all four tire rims with wheel
and tire assemblies not using of TPMS
sensors, such as winter wheel and tire assemblies. After replacing all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensors,
drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will
chime, the TPMS light
will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on and the instrument cluster
will display the “Service Tire Pressure
System” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values. Beginning with the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires equipped with TPMS
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the
TPMS light
will flash for 75 seconds
and then turn off. The instrument
cluster will then display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message.
The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes
(--). On the next ignition switch cycle
the “Service Tire Pressure System”
message will no longer be displayed as
long as no system fault exists.
