• Forward Collision Warning (with
active braking)
The FCW feature primarily uses the
front radar and forward looking
camera for sensing vehicles and
pedestrian (if the car is equipped with Pedestrian Emergency Braking
- PEB function) ahead, and will
provide warnings to the driver and
may perform braking maneuvers.
The current system setting is shown
in blue on the right side of the FCW
soft-key.
Touching this soft-key the set page
of FCW system will be displayed (see
picture).
FCW is always active: it is possible to
set the sensitivity and the aid of the
active braking.
FCW sensitivity can be set to
“Near”, to “Medium” or to “Far”.
The default status of FCW is the
“Medium” setting. Setting it to
“Far” means the system will warn
you of a possible collision with the
vehicle or pedestrian (if the car is
equipped with Pedestrian
Emergency Braking - PEB function)Dashboard Instruments and Controls

in front of you when you are farther
away. This gives you the best
reaction time, though could lead to
some more unwanted warnings.
“Medium” gives instead a little less
time for reacting compared to
“Far”, but at the same time should
lead to less not desired warning.
To change the setting for more
dynamic driving, select the “Near”
setting. This warns you of a possible
collision when you are much closer
to the vehicle or pedestrian (if the
car is equipped with Pedestrian
Emergency Braking - PEB function)in
front of you.
FCW with active braking can be set
to "On" or "Off".
• Surround View Camera
By activating this feature the system
uses four cameras to monitor the
area around the vehicle when
transmission lever is shifted to P
(Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
position.
When activation occurs by pressing
the “Surround Camera” button in
the “Controls” screen or moving the
shift lever in R (Reverse) position,
the initial view will be the default
view (associated with current gear
state). Image will be displayed with active guidelines while in that gear
as long as vehicle speed remains
lower than 8 mph (12 km/h).
When vehicle is shifted into a
different gear, the image will
remain displayed for 10 seconds, or
vehicle is shifted in P (Park), or until
vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph
(12 km/h), at which point it will
immediately cancel and return to
the last-viewed screen.
The feature can be set to “On” or
“Off”. See “Surround View Camera
System (optional)” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle” for
further details.
• Traffic Sign Assist
By activating this feature, the
forward-facing digital camera, with
the aid of maps on the navigation
system, is able to detect speed limits
and traffic signs with a restriction
indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
in snow condition). Those are
displayed by the TSA system on the
instrument cluster display together
with a possible alert when the
vehicle exceeds the speed limit. See "Traffic Sign Assist - TSA" in
section "Driving" for further details.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

Dashboard Compartment There are two glove box
compartments on the dashboard sides
to store small items or documents.
In the compartment below the climate
control panel, on the slider drawer
support can be housed the phone,
cards or small items. In this
compartment there are also the
multimedia ports (see “Interior
Features” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle” for further information).
WARNING!
Do not operate the vehicle with a
glove compartment lid in the open
position. Cellular phones, music
players, and other handheld electronic
devices should be stowed while
driving. Use of these devices while
driving could cause an accident due to
distraction.
CAUTION!
Do not place objects weighing over
22 lb (10 kg) in the glove box
compartment. Glove Box Driver Side To open the glove box on the driver
side, pull the handle as indicated.
The compartment is ca. 10-12 in (25-30
cm) deep and is lit by two courtesy
lights when open (the light
automatically switches off when the
compartment is closed). Glove Box Passenger Side To open the glove box on the
passenger side, pull the handle as
shown in the picture.
The compartment is divided into two
parts: in the lower part you can find
the Owner’s documentation, while in
the upper part you can fit small items.
The compartment is illuminated by a
courtesy light when open (the lightDashboard Instruments and Controls

plug the water drains. In winter
make sure the air intake is clear of
ice, slush, and snow.
• The temperature can be displayed in
U.S. or Metric units by selecting the
“Units” customer programmable
feature. See “MTC+ Settings” in this
section.
• Any time you store your vehicle or
keep it stationary (i.e., during
vacation) for two weeks or more, run
the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh
air by high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
and minimize the possibility of
compressor damage when the system
is started again.
A/C Filter The climate control system filters
outside air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally removed by A/C filter at the
entrance of the air climate system. See
“Maintenance Procedures” in section
“Maintenance and Care” for filter
replacement instructions. Phone and Voice Controls
on Steering Wheel The commands on the right side of the
steering wheel activate/deactivate the
phone mode (
) and the Voice
Recognition (
) control functions.
These functions are only available
when one or more Bluetooth ®
compatible mobile phones are paired
with the MTC+ System connection: to
pair a phone and to learn all available
functions refer to the MTC+ guide.
NOTE:
On the Maserati website, at
www.maserati.com , or through an
Authorized Maserati Dealer you may
consult the list of telephones that are
compatible with the MTC+, and their
level of compatibility. The voice command communication
system is fully integrated with the
vehicle's audio system.
The volume can be adjusted from the
upper knob on the central console (see
“Infotainment System” in this section
or from the steering wheel radio
controls (see “Audio Controls” in this
section).
The system will automatically mute the
radio when using the phone mode.
When activating the phone mode
using voice commands with
speakerphone, you should talk quietly
in a normal conversational tone by
keeping the driving position and
turning to the microphone of the voice
command system located inside of the
internal rear-view mirror.
The ability of the system voice control
to recognize the user's voice
commands can be invalidated when
speaking too quickly or too loudly.
WARNING!
Any voice-controlled system should be
used only in safe driving conditions
following all applicable regulations.
Full attention should be kept on
driving.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

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

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

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.
