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.

safety system and is not designed to
prevent accidents.
The ACC allows driver to keep Cruise
Control active in limited or moderate
traffic conditions with no need to
constantly restore the Cruise Control.
The ACC uses a radar sensor, located
on the front grille behind the trident,
and the forward-facing camera behind
the internal rear-view mirror to detect
the presence of a vehicle ahead at a
close distance and moving in the same
direction.
This vehicle, in this chapter, will be
indicated as "target vehicle" or
"vehicle ahead".
NOTE:
• If the sensor detects no vehicle
ahead, the ACC system will maintain
set steady speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the ACC system automatically
kicks in by slightly accelerating or
braking (to avoid exceeding the
initially set speed) so that the vehicle
keeps present distance, trying to
adapt to the speed of the detected
vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
• The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is
designed to increase vehicle driving
comfort. It must not be considered
as a means of replacing the required
attention of the driver. The driver is
always required to drive carefully.
The driver is always required to pay
utmost attention to driving
conditions (road, traffic, weather)
and style (speed, distance from
sensed vehicle ahead, brake use).
Driver has the full responsibility of
the vehicle therefore his attention is
crucial to keeping vehicle control, in
particular when approaching curves
and situations with heavy traffic.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
• In some driving scenarios, the ACC
could have detection problems. In
such cases, the ACC could kick in late or unexpectedly. The driver must be
careful since his/her intervention
could be necessary.
• It is always the driver’s responsibility
to obey speed limits and to keep
minimum legal distance to the
preceding vehicle.
• ACC system can decelerate only with
limited braking, it cannot execute
emergency braking.
The ACC system:
•
Does not activate/react in the
presence of pedestrians, bicycles,
incoming traffic from the opposite
direction and steady objects such as a
vehicle stuck in a traffic jam.
• Is meant for the use on highways and
well-built roads, not for city traffic or
mountain roads.
• May not have enough time to react
and/or decelerate sufficiently on
vehicles when lane is changed too
quickly or the relative speed is too
high. In such cases the driver has to
react appropriately and without any
acoustic/visual and warning.
• Cannot consider road, traffic and
weather conditions and might prove
limited when visibility is poor.
• Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions and thisDriving

providing limited autonomous braking
or additional brake support if the
driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
In this state the system disables the
brake jerk.
Limited Operation and Service
Warning The messages indicating on display the
limited functionality or service at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer required
are the same as for the ACC system.
For further details, refer to “Adaptive
Cruise Control – ACC” in this section.
NOTE:
• The adjustment of the sensor could
be affected by strong shocks or light
collisions. This could affect the
system by reducing the systems
performance or could increase the
false positive rate. The adjustment of
the radar system has to be proved or
a new adjustment has to be
performed by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
• The radar system requires specific
feature to detect objects. The
detection could be disturbed/
reduced by environment influences,
for example by electrical field or the
object itself. Object with small radar reflection properties could not be
detected or detected late.
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com.
Lane Keeping Assist - LKA
(optional, with ACC only) This system was designed especially
for highway or freeway driving, to
reduce the risk that the vehicle, under
particular circumstances, accidentally
departs from the lane in use. When
this happens, graphic instructions on
instrument cluster display together
with steering torque application and
steering wheel vibration (depending
on the distance to the line) warn the
driver that the vehicle is going out of
the lane initiates a steering maneuver
to try to prevent the lane exit.
To detect lane lines, the system uses
the forward-facing camera behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used also by the lighting system
to manage the automatic high beams.
The logic core is in the front radar.
LKA system remembers the condition
it was in before turning off the
vehicle.

and have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com. Blind Spot Assist (without
ACC) BSA System Operation The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system uses
two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect
highway licensable vehicles (cars,
buses, motorbikes, etc.) that enter the
blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The example shown in the figure
highlights the blind spots on either
side of the vehicle when oncoming
traffic is approaching from behind.
When the vehicle is started, the BSA
warning light will momentarily
illuminate in both outside rear view
mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational and on. The BSA
system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear and
enters standby mode when the
transmission is in (P) Park.
The BSA detection zone shown in
figure covers approximately one lane
on both sides of the vehicle
(approximately 11 ft or 3.3 m). The
blind spot area extends from
immediately behind the exterior
rear-view mirrors up to about 23 ft (7
m) behind the rear bumper.Driving

detect pedestrians, cyclists, or
animals.
• Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSA system, always check
your vehicle’s outside and rearview
mirrors for any vehicles approaching
from behind or overtaking.
• Use your turn signal before
changing lanes.
RCP - Rear Cross Path The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when gear
in reverse of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on
either side of the rear bumper, it
detects any vehicles or objects that are
moving toward the side of the vehicle
with a minimum speed of
approximately 1 to 2 mph (1 km/h to
3 km/h) to a maximum of
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h), such
as in parking lot situations. NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming
vehicles can be obscured by vehicles
parked on either side. If the sensors
are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to
alert the driver.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an
oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP
system will alert the driver using both
the visual and audible alarms. If the
radio is on, it will also reduce the
radio volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More specifically, it is intended to be used
to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing
up, even when using RCP. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle,
look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots
before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
