headlight bulb MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

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.
