fog light MASERATI QUATTROPORTE 2019 Owners Manual

Lights Light Switch The light switch located on the left
side of the dashboard is used for the
position/DRL lights, headlights, side
marker, license plate lights and rear
fog lights operation. The regulation
devices beside the switch (see “Interior
Lights” in this chapter) can adjust the
brightness of the instrument cluster
lights, the doors controls rear lighting
and the interior lighting.
Rotate the light switch to the
or
to the
position: the instrument
cluster will display the related telltale. NOTE:
If the headlights or position/DRL lights
are on after the ignition switch is
placed in OFF position, a buzzer will
alert the driver while opening the
driver's door.Understanding the Vehicle

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 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 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.
• Once the delay feature is active, any
additional shifting of the light switch
will cancel the feature.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam 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

Fog Lights The rear fog lights switch is built into
the lights switch.
To activate the rear fog lights, turn the
light switch to the low beam light
or “AUTO” position. Press the
lights switch
to turn on the rear
fog lights.
Pressing again the lights switch
will deactivate the rear fog lights.
Turning the lights switch off (position
“0”) will also deactivate the rear fog
lights.
A dedicated telltale in the instrument
cluster illuminates when the rear fog
lights are turned on. NOTE:
The rear fog lights will NOT activate
automatically when turning on the
low beam
or “AUTO” headlights
if previously deactivated by turning
the lights switch off. The rear fog
lights will only turn on by operating
the switch as previously described.
Multifunction Lever The multifunction lever controls the
operation of the turn signals,
headlight beam selection, overtaking
lights and windshield wiper and
washer (for this content see the
chapter “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” of this section).
The multifunction lever is fitted on the
left side of the steering column. Turn Signals

diagnosed and serviced.
NOTE:
Each time the ignition switch is in
RUN :
• The ESC OFF indicator light and
the ESC activation/malfunction
indicator light illuminates
temporarily.
• When the ESC is functioning, the
system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds. This is normal. The sounds
will stop once ESC becomes inactive
and the road conditions that caused
the ESC activation no longer persist.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light
This indicator notifies that the
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is disabled; the linked
message will be displayed.
Telltales on Tachometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the tachometer and related messages
are visible for 5 seconds on the central
sector of the display, unless otherwise
indicated (see “TFT Display” in this
chapter). Start&Stop Active Indicator
This telltale indicates that the
engine has been switched off
automatically by the
Start&Stop system.
When the engine starts again, the
telltale will switch off.
If the telltale during an automatic
engine shutdown (AutoStop) phase
starts flashing, it will be necessary to
restart the engine normally with the
ignition device while holding down
the brake pedal.
See chapter “Normal Starting of the
Engine” in section “Driving” for
further information.
Rear Fog Light Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the rear fog lights are
switched on. High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.
Brake Indicator Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level, brake pads
wear and parking brake
engagement.
If the brake light illuminates the
parking brake may be engaged, the
brake pads have reached wear limit,
the brake fluid level may be low or a
problem with the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) reservoir may have
occurred.
In all the above situations, a related
message will be displayed.
If the light still illuminates when the
parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark
on the master cylinder reservoir, there
could be a brake hydraulic system
malfunction or a problem with the
brake booster detected by the
ABS/ESC system. If this occurs, the light
will remain lit until the problem has
been solved.
If the problem concerns the brake
booster, the ABS master cylinder will
run when engaging the brake and aDashboard Instruments and Controls

Analog Clock To adjust the analog clock located on
the center of the dashboard between
the air outlets, use the MTC+ System
(see “MTC+ Settings” in this section).
The time can be displayed also on the
MTC+ status bar and on the
instrument cluster display (see “MTC+
Settings” in this section).
Clock lighting works in the same way
as instrument and controls
backlighting (refer to “Lights” in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”). Air Conditioning Controls The vehicle is equipped with an
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.
Dual Zone Climate Controls This system can be operated by using
the controls of the automatic climate
control panel on the dashboard, or
the softkeys on the MTC+ display
when “Climate” mode is selected.
In the "Climate" screen of the MTC+,
the front seats and steering wheel
comfort setting soft-keys may be
present (optional equipments).
The “OFF” state of the front seats
comfort setting is shown on their
soft-key.
Front seats and steering wheel
comfort setting soft-keys are present
even when the A/C is off (see "Front
Seats" and/or "Steering Wheel
Adjustment" in sectionDashboard Instruments and Controls

relevant soft-key button to activate
the two different functionalities.
The recirculation function, that allows
to open/close the A/C air inlet by
operating the
button on the
climate control panel or the MTC+ soft
key, is integrated with the Air Quality
Sensor.
This sensor, positioned upstream of the
A/C filter, in front of the air intake of
the A/C system, detects the presence of
polluting substances and submits an
electric signal to the A/C control unit,
that closes the intake of the external
air by activating the air recirculation.
The
button or the MTC+ soft-key
can therefore enable three operating
modes, switchable in sequence.
Starting from the outside air condition
with LED on the button off and MTC+
soft-key not highlighted, in which the
external air is aspirated by the A/C
system and treated to be introduced
into the passenger compartment,
subsequent actuations of the
button or the MTC+ soft-key
change the state as follows.
• First press: the A/C system activates
the automatic recirculation control
by using the signal transmitted from
the AQS. The symbol “A” on the
button and the MTC+ soft-key
lights up. • Second press: the A/C system
activates the recirculation, the LED
on the button or the MTC+ soft-key
light up. The A/C system will stay this
way up to a new actuation, or until
the increased humidity could lead to
windshield fogging: in this case the
recirculation automatically switches
to external air.
• Third press: the A/C system switches
back to external air (default
operating mode).
The next press of the
button or
the MTC+ soft-key restarts the
operating cycle just described.
NOTE:
To avoid the risk of fogging, the AQS is
disabled when the external
temperature falls below 35 °F (2 °C). NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation
mode may lead to window fogging.
Select the MIX mode and increase
the blower speed to prevent fogging.
MAX A/C
Activating this function, the system
switches to exit “AUTO”, enter “A/C”
and recirculation. The minimum
temperature (LO) in both zones, the
maximum blower speed and the
“Dashboard” air distribution mode
are also selected.
The blower speed can be adjusted and
the air distribution can be modified
without exiting “MAX A/C”. To exit
“MAX A/C” touch the relevant MTC+
soft-key or exit A/C or recirculation.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

The icons that represent the status of
the ADAS systems remain displayed
even when you exit the "Driver Assist"
screen.
System Limitations Because of physical limits, in order to
properly operate, the system needs
good visibility (it might not work or
not properly operate in case of heavy rain, snow, wet roads, fog, direct sun
on the camera, etc.).
NOTE:
• The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a
more robust hands detection when
hands are actually on the steering
wheel (at least one).
• The sensors are not able to detect
the presence of the hands on the
steering wheel areas covered in
wood, plastic bezels or carbon
inserts (where present).
Sharp turns, slopes and change in
slopes, poor lane boundaries, as well
as construction areas and all the
scenario described in this paragraph
may challenge the system, therefore
be always ready to prevent any
unexpected behaviour of the car.
Damaged front bumper, windshield
replaced without proper technical
intervention may also lead to system
malfunction or system unavailability.
Other conditions such as fault, but not
explicitly indicated here may also prevent/interrupt the system
intervention.
WARNING!
If the driver fails to adapt his/her
driving style, Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of
physics. It cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions.
Active LKA is only an aid. Driver is
always responsible for the distance to
the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed,
for braking in good time and for
staying in lane.
System in Fault When the LKA cannot properly
operate due to a fault of its
components or because the
windshield in front of the forward
facing camera is dirty, the amber light
and/or the corresponding message will
be displayed.Non-Driver Assist Page Driving

vibrate and a graphic will display on
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
• In case the vehicle approaches a
curve that is too tight in relation to
the current speed the system will
disengage, therefore the driver must
be prepared to take over control of
the vehicle immediately at any time.
To avoid this situation it is important
that the vehicle speed is not set
higher than the current speed limit
of the road.
• Highway Assist (HAS) is a hands-on
feature! You must keep your hands
on the steering wheel at all times.
The HAS system will disengage and
ACC will cancel if your hands are
removed from the steering wheels
for a set amount of time.
• HAS is intended for use only on
highways or limited access freeways
with a fully attentive driver. When
using HAS, hold the steering wheel
and be aware of surrounding traffic
and road conditions. Always be
prepared to immediately take over
control of the vehicle from the HAS
system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
• The following list does not fully
represent all situations in which HAS
may not function as intended. Do
NOT solely rely on the HAS system
to control the vehicle. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert
and safely control the vehicle at all
times.
• If the windshield is replaced, you
must have the forward-facing
camera remounted and aligned by
an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Many factors can impact the
performance
of HAS
causing the
system to be unable to function as
intended. These include (but are not
limited to):
• Narrow, winding or curvy roads.
• Poor visibility (due to heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Bright light (oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) or shadows.
• Damage or obstruction caused by
mud, ice, snow, etc.
• A damaged or misaligned bumper.
• Interference from other equipment
that generates electromagnetic
waves. • Wet roads, roads covered or partially
covered by snow.
• Construction zones.
HAS Operation With ACC set (see “Adaptive Cruise
Crontrol – ACC” in this section), HAS
system activates by simply pressing the
button on the steering wheel.
Once the conditions are met, HAS will
engage.
CAUTION!
The Highway Assist (HAS) system may
take up to 5 seconds to engage once
all conditions are met.
The conditions for HAS to engage are
as
follows:
• HAS must be turned on or enabled.
NOTE:
In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• The vehicle must be on the highway
or limited access freeway.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) must
be engaged.
• Left and right visible lane lines.Driving

• Press the HAS enable button on
the steering wheel.
• Begin steering manually.
• Press brake pedal.
• Turn off ACC.
• Unbuckle the driver’s seat belt.
• Press ACC Gap button for two
seconds to enable CC system.
• Shift out of the (D) Drive gear.
• Enter an Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) event (See chapter
"Forward Collision Warning - FCW"
in this section).
• Turn signal activated.
System Cancellation The HAS system will cancel (without
driver intervention) if either of the
following actions occur:
• Curve that is too tight.
• When leaving the grip of the hands
on the steering wheel.
• Vehicle exits the highway or limited
access freeway.
• Lane line markers aren’t detected by
the forward facing camera.
• Any ADAS system faults.
• ACC cancellation.
• Vehicle speed exceeds the maximum
limit. • Lateral accelerations exceeds the
limits.
NOTE:
• When HAS cancels, the
symbol
will turn red then grey.
• The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a
more robust hands detection.
System Limitations HAS is unable to guide the vehicle
when the following conditions occur.
• Lane markings are not clear or
visibility is poor (i.e. heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Obstructed, covered or damaged
forward-facing camera or sensor.
• When driving on hills or sharp
curves.
• When approaching toll booths.
• When the highway entrance or exit
is wider than 20 ft (6 meters).
• Bright light (ex. direct sunlight or
glare) facing the forward camera. WARNING!
Many unforeseen conditions can occur
that can affect the performance of
Highway Assist (HAS). Always keep
this in mind and drive attentively. It is
the drivers responsibility to keep
control of the vehicle at all times.

The display area is divided in three
different sectors:
1 Conditioned speed limit area.
2 Unconditioned speed limit area.
3 Overtaking restriction area.
NOTE:
Overtaking restriction sign will be
displayed only in markets where this is
allowed.
If “Blinking On” warning mode is set,
when the visual warning is provided
only the unconditioned speed limit (in
sector 2 ) will start blinking when the
vehicle speed exceeds to the detected
unconditioned speed limit (“+0 mph”
or “+0 km/h” option) or when it
exceeds the set sensitivity value
(“+5 mph” - “+5 km/h” or “+10 mph” -
“+10 km/h” options). If the vehicle
speed stays above the unconditioned speed limit for several seconds the
unconditioned speed limit sign will
stop blinking because the manoeuvre
is evaluated as intentional. If the TSA
is not able to determine any kind of
valid speed limit neither from camera
nor from digital maps the following
image will be shown in sector 2 .
Since TSA also uses the data provided
by the navigation system, it can
update the sector 2 of the display in
the following situations without
detecting traffic signs:
• When the vehicle changes road.
• Highway enter/exit.
• Urban area stored in the digital map
enter/exit.
System Limitations TSA may be impaired or may not
function in the following situations:
• If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road,
if there are highly variable shade
conditions or in rain, snow or fog.
• If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming
traffic, direct sunlight or reflections
from other vehicles.
• If the windshield in the area of the
camera is dirty, or if the camera is
fogged up, damaged or covered. • If the traffic signs are hard to detect,
e.g. due to dirt or snow, or because
they are covered or because of
insufficient lighting.
• If the information in the navigation
system's digital map is incorrect or
out-of-date.
• If the signs are ambiguous, e.g.
traffic signs on construction sites or
in adjacent lanes.
• When passing buses or trucks with a
speed sticker.Driving
