NOTE:
The gearshift indicator will only work
when the transmission is set in M +/-
(Manual) mode.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions Transmission Emergency Control
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, “Transmission Limp Home
Mode” will be activated. In this
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all. In some situations, the
transmission system may not
re-engage if the engine is turned off
and restarted.
A message in the instrument cluster
will inform the driver about the more
serious transmission conditions, and
indicate what actions may be
necessary.
Transmission Oil Overtemperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, the red
warning light
illuminates on the
instrument cluster. In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level
(the light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend
to stop the vehicle, shift the lever to
position P (Park) or N (Neutral) and
keep the engine idle until the
temperature red warning light
turns off and the message
disappears from the display. Resume
driving without demanding high
engine performance. If the red
warning light
and the related
message turns on again, it is advisable
to stop the vehicle, turn off the engine
and wait for the engine/transmission
assembly to fully cool down.
If the instrument cluster message
indicates that the transmission may
not re-engage after engine shutdown,
perform the following procedure
preferably at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer . In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park), if
possible.
• Turn the engine off.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds.
• Restart the engine.
• Shift the transmission into D (Drive)
and then into the desired gear
range. If the problem is no longer
detected, the transmission will return
to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset,
we recommend that you visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer at your
earliest possible convenience, which
has diagnostic equipment to
determine if the problem could recur.

whenever the brake pads and/or brake
discs are replaced.
Brake Overheating Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions, the
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. The
automatic or manual activation of the
parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
Brake overheating could also cause
“squeals” and “vibration”. Use of the Engine Breaking-In Today's most modern production
methods are designed to provide
extremely precise construction and
assembly of components. However,
moving parts do undergo a settling
process, basically in the first hours of
vehicle operation.
Do not drive keeping at a constant
high speed rate for a prolonged time.
While cruising, brief full-throttle
acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle
operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality
grades, see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand
miles/kilometers of operation. This
should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as
an indication of malfunction.
Specific Requirements
Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first
620 mi trip (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not
exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has
warmed up sufficiently (coolant
temperature: 149-158°F /65 70°).
While Driving Never travel with the tachometer
indicator approaching the peak rpm,
not even downhill. When the
tachometer indicator is approaching
the peak rpm (red colored zone), take
precautions to avoid exceeding that
limit.
Ensure proper operation of different
devices checking their respective
control telltales.Driving
