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.
Futhermore, 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 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
the 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 on high beam
system, the related amber warning
light will light up on the TFT display.

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. We
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 (if equipped)
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.Understanding the Vehicle

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

Headlights Leveling (only with
Bi-Xenon Headlights) A correct headlights leveling is crucial
for the safety of the vehicle’s
occupants and of people in the street.
Moreover it is included in the road
regulation law.
In order to obtain the best visibility
conditions while driving with
headlights on, the headlight beam
must be properly leveled.
Headlights leveling must be adjusted
at every change of the weight and
position of the passengers and/or of
the load carried.
A heavy load will weigh the vehicle
down and, as a consequence, the light
beam will be raised. In this case it is
important to adjust the beam to a
correct level using the right regulator
located on the side of the light switch. The regulator has 3 different
positions:
0 One or two people on the front
seats.
1 Four or five people in the
vehicle.
2 Four or five people + load in
the trunk.
During the regulation, the different
positions (0, 1 and 2) are visualized on
the TFT display.
Dome Lights The front and rear part of the dome,
include each a central and two reading
lights.
The central light automatically turns
on when one of the doors is opened
and turns off when the door is closed
(timed switching off). The light may be switched on manually by pressing the
central button.
The reading lights are controlled by
the respective side buttons.
If they are turned on by pressing the
button, both central and reading lights
will stay on for about 10 minutes after
turning the engine off, and will then
turn off gradually.
When the exterior lights are switched
on, the two night LEDs fitted on the
side of the power buttons on the
overhead console will light up to
facilitate the use of the transmission
lever and the central console.Understanding the Vehicle
