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

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 helps reduce fuel
consumption. 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.
In this case it is possible to release the
brake pedal and the vehicle will
remain in “AutoStop” with engine off.Driving

released, when one of the following
conditions occurs:
• The SPORT drive mode or (ESC
OFF) drive mode is being activated.
• If the Start&Stop function has been
disabled through the main menu
voice “Start & Stop” (see chapter
“Instrument cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”) or through the Start&Stop
hard button on the central console
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section) or via MTC+ in the “Control”
page (see “MTC+ ”Control” Screen”
in section “Dashboard Instruments
and Controls”).
• If shift lever is moved to R (Reverse).
• If the steering wheel is moved to
steer the wheels.
• When the temperature conditions
inside the vehicle do not correspond
to the air conditioning setting.
• When changing the temperature
setting on the air conditioning.
• When the defroster function is being
activated.
• When the battery charge is below
safety value.
• When the accelerator pedal is being
pressed (together with the brake
pedal). • If a long time has passed since the
last automatic stop of the engine.
Occupants Safety Function To enhance occupants safety, the
Start&Stop system monitors if the
driver is present and does not allow
automatic restarting of the engine if
one of the following maneuvers is
being performed while in “AutoStop”
condition:
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
and releases the brake pedal.
• The driver opens the door and
releases the brake pedal.
• The driver unbuckles the seat belt
and opens the door.
• The driver opens the hood.
All the above-mentioned conditions
deactive the Start&Stop function (the
“AutoStart” is deactivated and the
engine remains off) and the
transmission shifts automatically in P
(Park).
The
telltale will flash to indicate
the Start&Stop function disabling. To
restart the engine it is necessary to
press the brake pedal and push the
START/STOP button.
Move the shift lever to D (Drive) to
drive away. WARNING!
• Even when the vehicle is stopped in
the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase, the
driver is responsible for the vehicle
and the occupants and shall take
care of what happens inside and
outside the vehicle.
• Even when the vehicle is stopped
within the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase,
the vehicle driver is responsible for
the vehicle, the vehicle’s occupants
and the vehicle’s surrounding area.
Never leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running; doing so
poses a risk of danger. It is a good
practice to always ensure to set the
parking brake and place the
transmission gear selector lever into
the P (Park) position, thereby
ensuring the vehicle will not move,
when performing any vehicle checks,
maintenance and/or service
procedures on the vehicle.
Start&Stop Function Disabling Start & Stop enabled is the default
status.
Under certain driving conditions, when
frequent stops and restarts of the
engine may become annoying, it isDriving

Once it is set in the menu bar, the new
menu will be immediately operational.
NOTE:
The yellow LED on the button
indicates the disabled status of
Start&Stop system and vice versa.
If the driving conditions allow it, the
user can re-enable the Start&Stop
function at any time using one of
previous ways.
NOTE:
After user intervention, the Start&Stop
system will automatically update the
status of the function in all contexts
where it can be modified.
Start&Stop System Failure When the indicator light and the
related message illuminate on the TFT
display (see chapter “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”) there is a
malfunction in the Start&Stop system
and the engine cannot be switched off
and restarted automatically. To switch
off or restart the engine it is necessary
to push the START/STOP . Have the
vehicle checked at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .Automatic Transmission The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled 8-speed
automatic transmission, which
automatically changes gear according
to the vehicle's instantaneous usage
parameters (vehicle speed, road
gradient and accelerator pedal
position).
It is possible to change gear manually
thanks to the “M +/-“ (Manual)
position for the shift lever.
The electronic shift lever replaces the
conventional mechanical lever and has
no mechanical connection to the
transmission. The transmission is
operated by electrical actuators on the
hydraulic system and all commands to
the control system are transmitted by
the CAN network. The lever itself
represents a mere user interface. Gear
positions are simulated by solenoids
inside the lever body, which are
computer-controlled and enable or
disable certain positions of the lever.
The solenoids inside the shift lever
prevent the movement of the lever
towards invalid positions.
The electronically-controlled
transmission provides a precise shift
schedule. The transmission electronics
are self-calibrating, therefore the gearshift behaviour could become
perfect as expected after few
hundreds of miles/km.
CAUTION!
In order to properly use the automatic
transmission, it is essential that you
read through the whole chapter, so
that you can understand right from
the start what the correct and granted
operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• Shift into P (Park) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop:
this is the default position of the
lever. After engaged P (Park) it is
possible set the ignition switch to
OFF .
• Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop and the engine is at
idle speed.
• Do not shift between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
when the engine is above idle speed
• To effect any change from vehicle
stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1 st

Controls”).
During engagement and
disengagement procedures, the
warning light
flashes until the
parking brake has reached its
maximum activation force and is
respectively fully released.
In the above-mentioned conditions,
the automatic engagement function
can be deactivated/activated by
selecting the menu item “Vehicle
settings” on the main menu (refer to
paragraph “Deactivating Automatic
Operation” in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement The parking brake can also be
manually engaged or disengaged
when the engine is running or the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, by pressing the brake pedal and
raising the lever located behind the
shift lever.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer and the related message
will be displayed for 5 seconds on the

If you attempt to engage/disengage
the parking brake without having
pressed the brake pedal, a message
will be displayed, warning you to
proceed.
If the engine was turned off when the
automatic engagement device was
deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward
within 3 minutes after turning off. CAUTION!
The main function of the EPB is to
allow safe parking of the vehicle,
therefore it must only be applied
when the vehicle is already stationary.
If the EPB is used while the vehicle is
moving and decelerating until a speed
lower of 3 mph (5 km/h) and, in
particular, until complete stop
(typically in a sudden brake), it is
necessary to have the EPB system
checked by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
WARNING!
• Always hold the brake pedal pressed
during engagement or
disengagement of the parking brake.
• The EPB command activation while
running generates a deceleration of
the vehicle with strong deceleration
(Dynamic Braking). It is therefore
recommended to use this feature
only in case of emergency. The
stability of the car is guaranteed by
the action of the activated ESC
system.Driving
