vehiclePark Assist (if equipped) The Park Assist (also called
“ParkSense”) system provides visual
and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front bumper
and a detected obstacle when backing
up or moving forward, e.g. during a
parking maneuver.
Besides the use of the sensors
available on the bumpers and of the
rear parking camera, the vehicle may
be equipped with surround view
cameras (optional) to assist the driver
during maneuvers on dead-ends/roads
and on intersections. For more details
on this option, see chapter "Surround
View Camera System (optional)" in
this section.
Refer to “Park Assist System Usage
Precautions” for limitations of this
system and recommendations.
Park Assist system will retain the last
system state (enabled or disabled)
from the last ignition cycle when the
ignition is changed to the RUN
position.
Park Assist system can be active only
when the shift lever is in R (Reverse) or
D (Drive).
If Park Assist is enabled at one of
these shift lever positions, the system
will remain active until the vehicleBefore Starting

the system requires service, the LED will blink momentarily, and then the
LED will be on.
When the shift lever is moved to R
(Reverse) or to D (Drive) at a speed of
7 mph (11 km/h) or below and the
system is disabled, the instrument
cluster will display the “PARK ASSIST
Off” message for 5 seconds until the
shift lever remains in R (Reverse) or
when the shift lever is moved in D
(Drive).
Service the Park Assist System In case of malfunction of the Park
Assist system, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single sound, once per
ignition cycle. The instrument cluster
will display a message when any of the

snow, mud, or ice and the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
The instrument cluster will display a
message when any of the rear or front
sensors are damaged and require
service.
When the shift lever is moved to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) and the system
has detected a faulted condition, the
instrument cluster will display the
corresponding message for the time
lapse the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or D
(Drive) at speeds less than 7 mph
(11 km/h). Under this condition Park
Assist will not operate. See
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
If the instrument cluster displays a
message prompting you to clean the
sensors, make sure the outer surface
and the underside of the rear bumper
and/or front bumper is clean and clear
of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction and then cycle the ignition
switch. If the message continues to
appear contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer . If a failure message is displayed on the
instrument cluster, contact the
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Cleaning the Park Assist
Sensors When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry, rough
or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with
clean water, possibly adding car
shampoo.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensor area, please contact
exclusively the Authorized Maserati
Dealer . Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensors
operation. Park Assist System Usage
Precautions NOTE:
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the
performance of Park Assist.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the
rear bumper while driving the
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing
the service Park Assist message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and
it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might only be
temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using Park Assist in order to be
able to stop in time when an
(Continued)Before Starting

(Continued)
obstacle is detected. When backing
up, it is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when
using Park Assist.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the Park Assist
system. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
Park Assist Volume The volume of the acoustic signal
emitted by the front and rear parking
sensors is set to the medium level.
Three different levels of volume can be
selected via the submenu “Safety &
Driving Assistant” from the MTC+
System.
Low level is useful in certain conditions
when the parking sensor acoustic
signal keeps coming on although there
is no actual collision hazard. This may typically occur when driving in a queue
or when the vehicle is overtaken by
motorcycles or other vehicles on one
or both sides in a queue of traffic.
When you set the volume, only the
parking sensor acoustic signal will be
affected. The radio or any other
devices connected to the vehicle sound
system will not be affected.
Refer to chapter “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.Before Starting

Safety & Driving Assistant Touch this soft-key to set the
following modes.
• ParkSense (Park Assist)
The park assist system will scan for
objects behind and in front of the
vehicle when the transmission shift
lever is in R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than 7.5 mph
(12 km/h). The system can be
enabled with “Sound” only,
“Sound+Display”, or turned “Off”.
See “Park Assist (optional)” in
section “Before Starting” for
further information.
• Front Sensors Active in Drive
If this feature is active, when driver
takes shift lever from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to D (Drive), front parking
sensors are activated. If this feature
is not active, when driver takes shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to
D (Drive), front parking sensors are
NOT activated.
• Front ParkSense Volume
When this feature is selected, the
chime volume of front park assist
sensors can be set to “Low”,
“Medium” or “High” level.
“Medium” is the default setting.
The system will retain its last known
configuration state through ignition
cycles.
• Rear ParkSense Volume
When this feature is selected, the
chime volume of rear park assist
sensors can be set to “Low”,
“Medium” or “High” level.
“Medium” is the default setting.
The system will retain its last known
configuration state through ignition
cycles.
• Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
By selecting this feature the outside
side-view mirrors will tilt downward
when the ignition is in RUN position
and the transmission shift lever is in
R (Reverse) position. The mirrors will
move back to their previous
position when the transmission is
shifted out of R (Reverse). The
feature can be set to “On” or “Off”. • Auto Folding Side Mirrors

the rear-view mirrors automatically
fold when the vehicle is locked by
the key fob and when the power
trunk lid (if equipped) is closed and
locked by pressing the
button on
the right lower parts of the lid.
When the vehicle and the trunk lid
will be unlocked and the ignition
device is set in RUN position, the
rear-view mirrors will automatically
open in the position they had
before the lock.
If the mirrors were manually folded
by the switch on the driver's door
panel, before a lock action, they will
need to be manually unfold to
reactivate the automatic behave.
• ParkView Backup Camera Delay
By selecting this feature, when the
shift lever is moved out of R
(Reverse), the rear view image with
dynamic grid lines will be displayed
for up to 10 seconds after shifting
unless the forward vehicle speed
exceeds 8 mph (12 km/h), or the
transmission is shifted into P (Park)
or the ignition device is switched to
the OFF position. The feature can be
set to “On” or “Off”.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

Other Cases
The BSA system is not designed to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foliage
heaps, berms, etc. However,
occasionally the system may alert on
such objects. This is normal operation
and your vehicle does not require
service. The BSA system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the
opposite direction of the vehicle in
adjacent lanes.
WARNING!
• The BSA system is only an aid to
help detect vehicles in the blind spot
zones. • The BSA system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, or
animals.
• Even if your vehicle is equipped with
the BSA system, always check your
vehicle’s outside and rear-view
mirrors for any vehicles approaching
from behind or overtaking.
• Use your turn signal before changing
lanes.
RCP - Rear Cross Path The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when gear
in reverse of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on either
side of the rear bumper, it detects any
vehicles or objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 1 to
2 mph (1 km/h to 3 km/h) to a
maximum of approximately 10 mph
(16 km/h), such as in parking lot
situations.Driving

268

NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming
vehicles can be obscured by vehicles
parked on either side. If the sensors
are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to
alert the driver.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an
oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP
system will alert the driver using both
the visual and audible alarms. If the
radio is on, it will also reduce the
radio volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More specifically, it is intended to be used
to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing
up, even when using RCP. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle,
look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots
before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
BSA and RCP Setting Setting modes can be selected from
the MTC+ System.
Touch “Controls” soft-key and then
“Blind Spot Assist” soft-key to enter
the setting page.
Refer to chapter “MTC+ “Controls”
Screen” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for further
information. BSA in Visual Mode
When operating in “Visual” mode, the
BSA system will provide a visual alert
in the appropriate side view mirror
when it detects a vehicle or an object
in the detection areas monitored by its
sensors: depending on the status of
the relative turn indicator, the
warning light can be fixed or flashing.
However, when the system is
operating in RCP mode, it will respond
with both visual and audible alerts
when an oncoming vehicle or an
object approaching the rear end side
of the vehicle is detected.
Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted (if the
radio is on).
BSA in Visual and Acoustic Mode
When operating in “Visual & Acoustic”
mode, the BSA system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected
vehicle or object.Driving
