pyrotechnical charge located on the
positive battery terminal.
CAUTION!
After a collision that has caused the
ignition of the pyrotechnical charge,
this must be replaced at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Advanced front air bags are designed
to
provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in certain
frontal collisions depending on the
severity and type of collision.
Advanced front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The advanced front air bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions,
including those that may produce
substantial vehicle damage, for
example, some pole collisions, truck
under rides, and corner impacts. On
the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, advanced
front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deployment
will depend on the severity and type
of collision. Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over
time, vehicle speed and damage
merely are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag. The
ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position, in the ACC
position, or not active, the air bag
system is not activated and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low power
or it becomes disconnected prior to
deployment. When starting the
vehicle, ORC turns on the air bag
warning light
on the instrument
cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the air bag
warning light and the “Service Airbag
System” message either momentarily or continuously. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction.
A beep will sound if the light
illuminates again after initial startup.
The air bag warning light monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system
electrical components.
WARNING!
• If the ignition switch is in RUN
position, the engine is off and the
vehicle is in complete stop, the air
bags can be deployed in case of
collision. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat in
a rearward facing seat even if the car
is not moving. Deployment of the air
bag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Please noteBefore Starting

Instrument Cluster The instrument cluster is divided into
three main areas displaying
information, signs and text and/or icon
messages.
A Analogue speedometer. It
indicates the vehicle speed.
B Tachometer.
C TFT display. In this area the
odometer display shows the total
distance covered by the vehicle.
U.S. Federal Regulations requires that
upon transfer of vehicle ownership,
the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has
been driven.
If your odometer needs to be repaired
or serviced, the repair technician
should leave the odometer reading the
same as it was before the repair or
service. This repair should be
performed by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The odometer setting should be
maintained following the repair or
service.
Keep a record of the odometer
mileage before any repair or service to
ensure that the odometer is properly
reset. Speedometer and tachometer display
the main warning lights (see “Warning
and Indicator Lights on Analogue
Instruments” in this chapter).
The other warning and indicator lights
are displayed on the TFT display
together with mode and drive
function indicators (see “TFT Display: Warning/Indicator Lights of Set

Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments Telltales on Speedometer
The following telltales are displayed
on the speedometer, and related
messages are visible for 5 seconds on
the central sector of the display, unless
otherwise indicated (see “TFT Display”
paragraph in this chapter).
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the ignition switch is in RUN position
and switch off soon after the engine is
started (the MIL does not shut off
immediately).
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lit or switches on while
driving, there is a failure in the fuel
supply/ignition and emission control
systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Should this occur, proceed with
caution to your Authorized Maserati
Dealer without heavy throttle
application or driving at high speeds.
Obey all applicable local traffic
regulations.
The indicator light will go out if the
problem is no longer present.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.
CAUTION!
• When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and if the indicator
light does not switch on or if it
switches on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required. In addition, the OBDII
system incorporates a diagnostic
connector that can be interfaced
using diagnostic equipment. This

CARB & EPA OBDII regulations.
Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The
indicator lights
up when
the left turn signals or the
hazard flashers are turned on.
The indicator light will flash at
the same frequency of the turn signals
and is controlled by the stalk switch
lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will alert the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
This warning light is connected
to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Under normal conditions, the

the ignition switch is in RUN and should go off once the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressure
of one or more tires is too low and a
message will be displayed.
The TPMS malfunction warning light is
connected to the low tire pressure
monitoring light.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the monitoring light and
the related message will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain lit.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle startups as long as
the malfunction lasts.
When the malfunction warning lights
up, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure
correctly.
Please refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in section
“Driving” for further information.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Malfunction Warning Light

light remains lit or turns on while
driving, the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and
requires service. However, the
conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the
(USA) warning light is switched
off. If the ABS light turns on while
driving, or if it does not switch on
when the ignition switch is in RUN
position, please visit an Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible to
restore the Anti-Lock brake function.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The ESC activation/malfunction
indicator light on the
instrument cluster will display
when the ignition switch is in
RUN position.
It should switch off by starting the
engine.
If the light stays on with the engine
running, there is a malfunction in the
ESC system.
