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
ignition switch by
pushing the center button, as long as
the key fob RKE transmitter is within
the passenger compartment (check
“Keys” in section “Before Starting” for
further information).
By pressing the brake pedal and
pushing the START/STOP button the
engine starts. Instrument cluster

“Dashboard Instruments and
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
instrument cluster.
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

CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, this indicates a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.
Onboard Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current local
regulations of various countries.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information, which your Authorized Maserati Dealer will use to
service your vehicle. Although the
vehicle will still be driveable and not
need towing, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer for service as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause further damage
to the emissions control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
• After the problem has been solved,
the Authorized Maserati Dealer
personnel will perform specific tests
for a complete check of the system
and, if necessary, road tests.Driving

after completing the scheduled
maintenance operations.
Scheduled Service Plan The Scheduled Maintenance services
listed in this manual must be done at
the times or mileages specified to
protect your vehicle warranty and
ensure the best vehicle performance
and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles in operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and
very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be
done anytime a malfunction is
suspected.
Maserati recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed
at an Authorized Maserati Dealer . The
technicians at your dealership know
your vehicle best, and have access to
factory-approved information,
genuine Maserati parts, and specially
designed electronic and mechanical
tools that can help prevent future
costly repairs.Maintenance and Care

When the battery cables have been
disconnected and the trunk lid has
been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release lever in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release fold
one of the rear seatbacks (see “Cargo
Area” chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
Key fob RKE Transmitter.
• Close manually the boot lid, unlock it
with the key fob RKE transmitter and
then lock it manually one more time. If the vehicle is equipped with Power
Boot Lid/Hand Free, manually
perform the complete closure. Then
move the lid automatically, using the
buttons on the lid itself, performing
a complete cycle of opening and
closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and pressing
the “AUTO” control as described in
chapter “Air Conditioning Controls”
in section “Dashboard Instruments
and Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external

button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position. CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is reconnected
the warning light
