hood release MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

Hood Operation Opening Two latches must be released to open
the hood.
• From inside the vehicle, pull the
hood release lever located under the
left lower side of the dashboard.
• Move to the outside and stand in
front of the vehicle front grille. • Slightly lift the hood and push the
safety catch as indicated by the
arrow. The safety catch is located in
the center of the hood.
• Lift the hood completely: this
operation is facilitated by two gas
struts keeping the hood in the fully
open position.
With the ignition switch in RUN
position, the red symbol
will display
on the instrument cluster with the
message indicating that the hood is
open.
Closing Lower the hood, and then gently drop
it. This should secure the inclusion of
both latches.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
• Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the lid
is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
• Gear shifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the hood or the
liftgate are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the transmission shift lever
and so accidentally engage gears.Before Starting

Automatic Restarting of the
Engine The engine may automatically restart,
before the brake pedal has been
released, when one of the following
conditions occurs:
• The SPORT drive mode or
(ESC
OFF) drive mode is being activated.
• If the Start&Stop function has been
disabled through the main menu
voice “Start & Stop” (see chapter
“Instrument cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”) or via MTC+ in the
“Controls” page (see “MTC+
“Controls “Screen” in the section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• If shift lever is moved to R (Reverse).
• If the steering wheel is moved to
steer the wheels.
• When the temperature conditions
inside the vehicle do not correspond
to the air conditioning setting.
• When changing the temperature
setting on the air conditioning.
• When the defroster function is being
activated.
• When the battery charge is below
safety value. • When the accelerator pedal is being
pressed (together with the brake
pedal).
• If a long time has passed since the
last automatic stop of the engine.
Occupants Safety Function To enhance occupants safety, the
Start&Stop system monitors if the
driver is present and does not allow
automatic restarting of the engine if
one of the following maneuvers is
being performed while in “AutoStop”
condition:
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
and releases the brake pedal.
• The driver opens the door and
releases the brake pedal.
• The driver unbuckles the seat belt
and opens the door.
• The driver opens the hood.
All the above-mentioned conditions
deactive the Start&Stop function (the
“AutoStart” is deactivated and the
engine remains off) and the
transmission shift automatically in P
(Park).
The
telltale will flash to indicate
the Start&Stop function disabling. To
restart the engine it is necessary to
press the brake pedal and push the
START/STOP button. Move the shift lever to D (Drive) to
drive away.
WARNING!
• Even when the vehicle is stopped in
the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase, the
driver is responsible for the vehicle
and the occupants and shall take
care of what happens inside and
outside the vehicle.
• Even when the vehicle is stopped
within the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase,
the vehicle driver is responsible for
the vehicle, the vehicle’s occupants
and the vehicle’s surrounding area.
Never leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running; doing so
poses a risk of danger. It is a good
practice to always ensure to set the
parking brake and place the
transmission gear selector lever into
the P (Park) position, thereby
ensuring the vehicle will not move,
when performing any vehicle checks,
maintenance and/or service
procedures on the vehicle.

frequent stops and restarts of the
engine may become annoying, it isDriving
