Normal Starting of the
Engine WARNING!
It is dangerous to run the engine in an
enclosed area. The engine consumes
oxygen and discharges carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other
toxic gases in the atmosphere.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
When doors are opened, the
instrument
cluster displays
the
Maserati Logo in the center and the
complete odometer plus the open
doors indicator
in the lower part of
the cluster.
Before starting the engine, close the
doors, adjust your seat, the inside and
outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt
and instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position before you can start
the engine. Apply the brakes before
shifting into any driving gear (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section). CAUTION!
• Before starting the engine, switch off
the electrical devices with a high
power consumption (air-conditioning
and heating system, heated rear
window, headlights, etc.).
• Do not start the engine if the fuel
level in the tank is low.
The keyless ignition allows the driver
to
operate the
ignition switch by
pushing the center button, as long as
the key fob RKE transmitter is within
the passenger compartment (check
“Keys” in section “Before Starting” for
further information).
By pressing the brake pedal and
pushing the START/STOP button the
engine starts. Instrument cluster
displays the initial sequence with
indicator light and analog instruments
test routine and switch-on of the
engine temperature indicators and
fuel level. This happens if option “On”
was set in screen settings for display
switch-on (see chapter “Instrument
cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).Driving

The current display subsequently sets
up with the latest screenshot.
If the engine fails to start, the starter
will disengage automatically after 10
seconds. If you wish to stop the
cranking of the engine prior to
starting it, press the button again. NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a
warm engine is obtained without
pumping or pressing the accelerator
pedal.
If the driver only pushes the
START/STOP button but does not press
the brake pedal, the ignition switch
cycles to the ACC position (see “Keys”
in section “Before Starting”) and the
instrument cluster displays the latest
screenshot.
At the second press of the
START/STOP button, the ignition
device switches to RUN position (see
“Keys” in section “Before Starting”)
and the instrument cluster displays the
latest screenshot.
At the third press of the START/STOP
button the ignition switch returns to
OFF position and the display powers
down.
At the fourth press of the START/STOP
button the screen will display the
message that invites you to press the
brake pedal and push the START/STOP
button to start the engine. NOTE:
If the ignition switch is left in the ACC
or RUN (engine not running) position
and the transmission is in P (Park), the
system will automatically time out
after 30 minutes of inactivity and the
ignition will switch to the OFF
position.
After starting the engine, the idle
speed is controlled automatically and
will decrease as the engine warms up.
Engine Start Failure WARNING!
• Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way.
• If the vehicle battery is dead,
booster cables may be used to
obtain a start from a booster battery
or the battery in another vehicle.
This type of start can be dangerous
if done improperly. See “Auxiliary
Jump Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency” for further
information.Driving

Starting with a Cold Engine
Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High-
performance driving should be
avoided until the engine temperature
reaches 149-158°F (65-70°C).
Engine Turn-Off • With the shift lever in P (Park), D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) positions (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section) and vehicle standstill, press
and release the START/STOP button
to switch off the engine. A burst on
the accelerator pedal before turning
off the engine has no purpose and
increases fuel consumption.
• If the shift lever is in N (Neutral) and
the START/STOP button is pressed
once, the instrument cluster will
display a “Vehicle Not in Park”
message and the engine will remain
running.
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P
(Park) position, as it could move. NOTE:
If
the ignition switch is left in the ACC
or RUN (engine not running) position
and the transmission is in P (Park), the
system will automatically time out
after 30 minutes of inactivity and the
ignition will switch to OFF position.
Engine Turn Off when in Automatic
Start&Stop
When the engine has been turned off
by the Start&Stop system, press and
release the START/STOP button. The
ignition switch will return to the OFF
position and the vehicle is off.
“Panic Stop” Strategy In panic conditions, if driver stops
engine in any non-standard manner
while driving at a speed over 2 mph
(3 km/h), the “Panic Stop” strategy can
manage the situation by checking
gearchange condition upon engine
cutting, driver’s action on brakes, road
condition (flat or slope) so as to set
gearchange to the most suitable
condition.
The “Panic Stop” strategy considers
that the driver should stop the engine
by pressing the ignition switch at least
3 times or holding it depressed for at
least 2 seconds.Automatic Start&Stop
System The Maserati Start&Stop system allows
the engine to automatically switch off
when the vehicle stops and to restart
when the driver intends to drive. This
feature can reduce fuel consumption
up to 6% according to different drive
conditions. During the “Stop
(AutoStop)” phase the ignition is still
on and all security features are
available.
In order for the Start&Stop to activate,
the vehicle must be stationary and the
brake pedal adequately pressed.
NOTE:
If the brake pedal is not sufficiently
pressed the Start&Stop may not
function even if the vehicle is stopped.
When the Start&Stop switches off the
engine, the related light
illuminates on the instrument
cluster.
As soon as the brake pedal is released,
the engine turns on.
While the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission can be placed in P (Park)
pressing the “P” button on the shift
lever.Driving
