Daytime Running Lights (DRL) The lighting system uses the same
high or low intensity headlamps LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
front position lights.
DRL lights will turn on when the
twilight sensor is in “DAY” mode, the
engine is running and the light switch
is in
or “AUTO” position.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
LED on the same side of the vehicle
switches in position light function for
the duration of the turn signal
activation. Once the turn signal is
deactivated, the DRL LED will light up
again.
NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles DRL are always
on. On USA vehicles, the DRL lights
can be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
“Full-LED” Headlight with
Cornering Function These headlamps combine the
cornering function to the “Full-LED”
technology consisting of an additional
LED module which turns on when two
conditions occurs: the driver turns the steering wheel or the driver activates
the turn indicator. The cornering
function will illuminate the corner to
enhance the visibility to the driver as
long as speed will be lower than 25
mph (40 km/h).
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology creates headlights
with a simpler construction and a
more compact size compared to those
equipped with traditional or Xenon
light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption. These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light bulb
replacements and help limit fuel
consumption.
Automatic High Beam (for
versions/markets, where
provided) The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on
vehicles with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps
of proceding vehicles in the front
area. In these cases, the system
automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Furthermore, the digital camera is
able to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.Understanding the Vehicle

119

The properly working for this feature
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 21.7 mph (35 km/h)
and 155 mph (250 km/h).
Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam
feature:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the light switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Touch the "Controls" soft-key in the
lower part of the MTC+ display.
• Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto
High Beam Assist" soft-key to turn
on the feature. • Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto
High Beam Assist" soft-key a second
time to turn it off.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on. NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and then switch
to low beam on.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles
in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer
(closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film,
and other obstructions on the
windshield or camera lens will cause
the system to function improperly.
Automatic High Beam Failure
In the event of a failure of the high
beam system, the related amber
warning light will illuminate on the
TFT display.
Take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible avoiding to use this system.

To activate lane change function, tap
the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent. The turn
signals (right or left) will flash three
times then automatically turn off.
This function is useful when
overtaking or changing lanes.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does
not flash, or flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside light. If
an indicator on the instrument
cluster fails while moving the lever,
then the turn indicator could be
defective.
• The message that a turn signal is on
will appear in the instrument cluster
and a continuous chime will sound if
the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on. High Beams and Flashing
To switch on the high beams with the
light switch in headlamp
or
“AUTO” position, shift the
multifunction lever onward.
The blue telltale
will illuminate on
the tachometer.
By pulling the lever backward (toward
the steering wheel) you switch off the
high beams and switch on the low
beams. You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beams headlights
until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(lights switch in position “0”) if the
ignition switch is RUN position.
CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. WeUnderstanding the Vehicle

recommend therefore that you switch
them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.
Automatic High Beams
The
Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward digital
camera mounted behind the rearview
mirror, which is the same one used
also by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is
out of view. Furthermore, the digital
camera is able to detect the urban
areas and the inhabited centers and to
turn off the high beams when driving
near of one of them.
The high beam can be turned back on
if there are all the necessary
conditions and if the vehicle speed
exceed 21.7 mph (35 km/h).
The “Auto High Beam Assist” feature
can be turned on or off using the
MTC+ System. Refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls" for further
information. The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions.
To activate this function:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the headlight switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Enable the “Auto High Beam Assist”
function on MTC+.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on. NOTE:
Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High
Beam headlight control mirror is
replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Interior Lights The interior and exterior approach
lights turn on and off when
entering/exiting the vehicle (see
“Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section
"Before Starting" for further
information).
The brightness of the lights can be
manually adjusted with the regulator
positioned beside the light switch.
To protect the battery, the interior
lights will turn off automatically 10
minutes after the ignition switch has
been shifted to OFF . This occurs if the
interior lights were turned on
manually or by opening of a door. The

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
