When the engine starts again, the
telltale will switch off.
If the telltale during an automatic

Rear Fog Light Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the rear fog lights are
switched on.
High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.
Brake Indicator Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level, brake pads
wear and parking brake
engagement.
If the brake light illuminates the
parking brake may be engaged, the
brake pads have reached wear limit,
the brake fluid level may be low or a
problem with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) reservoir may have
occurred.
In all the above situations, a related
message will be displayed.
If the light still illuminates when the
parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark
on the master cylinder reservoir, there
could be a brake hydraulic system
malfunction or a problem with the
brake booster detected by the
ABS/ESC system. If this occurs, the light
will remain lit until the problem has
been solved.
If the problem concerns the brake
booster, the ABS master cylinder will
run when engaging the brake and a
brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop of the vehicle.
Inefficiency of one of the dual brake
system cycles is indicated by the brake
indicator light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
certain level.
The light will remain lit until the
problem has been solved.
If a brake failure occurs, visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible in order to check up the
brake system.
In the event of an Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD) failure, both the brake indicator light and the ABS
light illuminate.
Immediate repair of the ABS system is
required.
Functioning of the brake indicator
light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from OFF to RUN
position.
The light should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds.
The light should switch off unless the
parking brake is engaged or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not
illuminate, have the light system
repaired by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The light will also switch on when the
parking brake is engaged with the
ignition switch in RUN position.
This light only indicates the brake is
engaged but not the clamping force
of the parking brake to the wheels.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on can be very dangerous and is
not recommended. Part of the brake
system may have failed, resulting in
increased braking distances and the
risk of an accident. Have the vehicleDashboard Instruments and Controls

Air Bag Indicator Light
This
light will illuminate for a
few seconds for a bulb check
when the ignition switch is in
RUN . If the light does not
illuminate while starting the engine,

Right Turn Signal Indicator
This
indicator lights
up when
the right turn signals or the
hazard flashers are switched
on.
The indicator will flash at the same
frequency of the turn signals and is
controlled by the turn signal 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 advise the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled. After the bulb check or while driving,
if a seat belt is unbuckled, together
with the acoustic signal the seat belt
reminder light will light up and a
message will indicate which belt is not
fastened.
WARNING!
Maserati urges you to use the seat
belts correctly fastened and adjusted
at all times. Correct use of the seat
belts can help reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of an
accident. Do not pass seat belts over
sharp edges. They could tear. Do not
pin anything to the seat belts. This
could reduce their initial strength and
cause them to tear in the event of a
crash.
