perform the following procedure
preferably at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park), if
possible.
• Turn the engine off.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds.
• Restart the engine.
• Shift the transmission into D (Drive)
and then into the desired gear
range. If the problem is no longer
detected, the transmission will
return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset,
we recommend that you visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer at your
earliest possible convenience, which
has diagnostic equipment to
determine if the problem could recur.
Transmission Manual Release of P
(Park) Position
See chapter “Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park) Position” in section
“In an Emergency”. All-Wheel Drive The active on-demand All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system provides available
optimum traction for a wide variety of
road and off-road surface and driving
conditions. The system minimizes
wheel slip by automatically redirecting
torque to the front and rear wheels as
necessary.
To maximize fuel economy, the AWD
system automatically disengages
torque distribution on front axle when
road and environmental conditions
are such that wheel slip is unlikely to
occur. When specific road and
environmental conditions require
increased levels of road traction, the
AWD system automatically distributes
the torque between front and rear
axle in order to grant the best driving
experience. Torque distribution is
displayed on the TFT in the “Drive
Mode” main menu. Refer to
paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and
Settings” in chapter “Instrument
Cluster” of section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for further
information. WARNING!
There may be a slight delay for AWD
engagement after a wheel slip
condition occurs.
NOTE:
If the A WD
system service warning
light and message appears after
engine start up, or during driving, it
means that the AWD system is not
functioning properly or is in recovery
mode due to overheating caused by
the excessive wheel spin. In this
condition the vehicle can continue
driving but only rear wheel drive is
working. If the warning light and
message are often activated, it is
recommended to have the vehicle
serviced at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .Driving

“NORMAL”, “SPORT ”, “
(Suspension)“ or “I.C.E.” After
selecting this height, once the vehicle
speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h),
the vehicle height will begin to
lower. To exit “Entry/Exit” mode,
move selector to another position or
drive the vehicle over 15 mph (24
km/h). Automatic lowering of the
vehicle into “Entry/Exit” mode can be
enabled through the MTC+ (refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). If this feature is enabled,
the vehicle will only lower if the
gearshift lever is in P (Park), the
engine is running, doors and liftgate
are closed and the Pneumatic
Suspension System should be either
in “NORMAL” or “Aero”. The Vehicle
will not automatically lower if the
pneumatic suspension system is in
“Off Road 2” or “Off Road 1” mode.
The lowering will be suppressed
when the ignition is switched off and
a door is opened to prevent setting
the alarm off.
Lowering Vehicle Height for Inactivity
Lowering of vehicle ground clearance
after a long period of inactivity should
be considered normal since it is due to a drop of pressure in the pneumatic
suspension system.
Approximately, after one week of
inactivity, vehicle ground clearance will
lower by 0.4 in (10 mm). To set off the
drop of pressure due to inactivity, it is
necessary to start the engine and allow
some time until system reaches
operating pressure and lifts the vehicle
to set ride height. A message on
instrument cluster display will warn
driver when set ride height is reached.
Driving vehicle before the set riding
height is reached is not safe and could
damage suspension components.
WARNING!
After a long period of vehicle
inactivity, drive only when vehicle
reaches set ride height to prevent any
problems of the pneumatic suspension system from limiting occupants'
safety.
"Launch Control" Mode
(TROFEO version only) "Launch Control" mode is a
performance start procedure.
By activating this procedure you get
the best possible acceleration from
standstill of the car.
This mode allows you to ground the
torque necessary to prevent the
wheels from slipping during
acceleration performance.
To make a performance start in
"Launch Control" mode, the following
conditions must be met:
• Water and transmission temperature
in proper range.
• No engine, AWD and on board
systems faults.
• The vehicle must be traveled at least
440 mi (700 km).
• "CORSA" drive mode on.
• Shift lever in "D" or"M +/-" position.
• The vehicle must be stationary on a
level road surface.
• The driver door closed and the safety
belt fastened.Driving

Launch Control Sequence
NOTE:
• All the above mentioned conditions
must be verified in order to activate
"Launch Control" performance start
procedure.
• During “Launch Control” ACC, FCW
and HAS (if equipped) are
temporarily disabled.
• Each step displayed on the
instrument cluster has a time out
approximately of 5 seconds.
• With brake pedal pressed and
steering wheel straight, pull "–" left
paddle. The instrument cluster shows
the "Launch Control" engaged page.
• To confirm the procedure, pull again
the "–" paddle down. To abort the
procedure, pull "+" right paddle. • To confirm the "Launch Control"
sequence, press full the brake pedal
as indicated in the message on the
instrument cluster.
• With brake pedal pressed full, press
full the accelerator pedal as
indicated in the message on the
instrument cluster.

“Off Road 2” ride height is limited
instead up to a max speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h). In case the vehicle speed
should exceed this limit, ride height
will be put automatically to “Off Road
1” while driving mode will remain
“OFF ROAD”.
An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road,
allowing you to anticipate problems.
A higher clearance and the longer
travel of the suspension might allow
the vehicle to overcome some
obstacles.
A higher ground clearance means a
higher center of gravity. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers. Failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover .
Although the pneumatic suspension
system contributes to limiting these
risks by setting precautionary speed
thresholds, the driver must always pay
utmost attention and drive carefully.
WARNING!
“Off Road 2” ride height must always
be selected in case of water fording.
Please remember water fording limits:
max depth of the water must be lower than 19 in (50 cm) and crossing
speed lower than 5 mph (8 km/h).
In “OFF ROAD” drive mode, also
engine,
transmission settings are
changed in order to provide the most
suitable level of torque and selected
gear to improve traction on
low-adherence condition and uphill
climbing.
WARNING!
In case of downhill, the use of the Hill
Descent Control (HDC) is
recommended, especially for relevant
slope and in case of low-adherence
conditions.
Also suspensions (Skyhook Continuous
Damping
Control) are set
to a specific
calibration in “OFF ROAD” drive
mode, in order to obtain the right
damping force provided by the shock
absorbers, combined with the
increased ride heights “Off Road 1”
and “Off Road 2”.
Driving Through Water Set maximum ride height “Off Road
2” before driving through water.
Although your vehicle is capable of
driving through water, a number precautions must be considered
before entering the water.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is capable of water
fording to a maximum of 19 in (50 cm)
of water. To maintain optimal
performance of your vehicle’s heating
and ventilation system it is
recommended to switch the system
into recirculation mode during water
fording.
CAUTION!
When driving through water, do not
exceed 5 mph (8 km/h). Always check
water depth before entering, as a
precaution. Check all fluids
afterwards: driving through water
may cause damage to engine and
driveline that may not be covered by
the new vehicle limited warranty.
Driving through water more than a
few
inches/centimeters deep will
require extra caution to ensure safety
and prevent damage to your vehicle. If
you must drive through water, try to
determine the depth and the bottom
condition (and location of any
obstacles) prior to entering. Proceed
with caution and maintain a steadyDriving

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
