This warning light and the
related message indicate that
the transmission fluid
temperature is rising.
If this warning light turns on, safely
pull over and stop the vehicle.
Then, shift the transmission into P
(Park) and run the engine at idle until
the temperature drops and the light switches off. If the problem persists,
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the
transmission temperature warning
light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or failure. Engine Temperature Warning Light
This
warning light
notifies
when the engine is
overheated. If the
temperature reaches critical
levels and the gauge displayed in
sector 12 turns red, this warning light
under the engine temperature gauge
indicator will illuminate in red color
combined with the related message on
display. When the temperature is
reaching the set threshold an acoustic
signal will be heard.
If the warning light switches on while
driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it
off. Also, shift the transmission into N
(Neutral) and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature does not return to
normal, immediately turn the engine
off and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .

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.

the following conditions:
• off-road;
• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
• check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter; • check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air

CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. 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 suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
driveability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
• If the MIL
is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required.Maintenance and Care
