front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deployment
will depend on the severity and type
of collision. Because air bag sensors
measure vehicle deceleration over
time, vehicle speed and damage
merely are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag. The
ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position, in the ACC
position, or not active, the air bag
system is not activated and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low power
or it becomes disconnected prior to
deployment. When starting the
vehicle, ORC turns on the air bag
warning light
on the instrument cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the air bag
warning light and the “Service Airbag
System” message either momentarily
or continuously. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction.
A beep will sound if the light
illuminates again after initial startup.
The air bag warning light monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system
electrical components.
WARNING!
• If the ignition switch is in RUN
position, the engine is off and the vehicle is in complete stop, the air
bags can be deployed in case of
collision. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat in
a rearward facing seat even if the car
is not moving. Deployment of the air
bag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Please note
that when the ignition switch is in
the OFF or ACC position or is turned
off, the air bag will not deploy in
case of collision. Therefore, in these
cases, lack of air bag deployment is
not an indication of a system
malfunction.
• Ignoring the air bag warning light
and message in your instrument
cluster could mean you won't have
the air bags to protect you in the
event of a collision. If the light does
not come on as a bulb check when
the ignition is first turned on, stays
on after you start the engine, or if it
comes on as you drive, have an
Authorized Maserati Dealer service
the air bag system immediately.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) The lighting system uses the same
high or low intensity headlamps LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
front position lights.
DRL lights will turn on when the
twilight sensor is in “DAY” mode, the
engine is running and the light switch
is in
or “AUTO” position.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
LED on the same side of the vehicle
switches in position light function for
the duration of the turn signal
activation. Once the turn signal is
deactivated, the DRL LED will light up
again.
NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles DRL are always
on. On USA vehicles, the DRL lights
can be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
Bi-Xenon Headlight The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
WARNING!
If xenon headlamp replacement is
necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
“Full-LED” Headlight with
Cornering Function These headlamps combine the
cornering function to the “Full-LED”
technology consisting of an additional
LED module which turns on when two
conditions occurs: the driver turns the
steering wheel or the driver activates
the turn indicator. The cornering
function will illuminate the corner to
enhance the visibility to the driver as
long as speed will be lower than 25
mph (40 km/h). “Full-LED” Technology
This technology creates headlights
with a simpler construction and a
more compact size compared to those
equipped with traditional or Xenon
light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption.
These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light bulb
replacements and help limit fuel
consumption.Understanding the Vehicle

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the ignition switch is in RUN position
and switch off soon after the engine is
started (the MIL does not shut off
immediately).
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lit or switches on while
driving, there is a failure in the fuel
supply/ignition and emission control
systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Should this occur, proceed with
caution to your Authorized Maserati
Dealer without heavy throttle
application or driving at high speeds.
Obey all applicable local traffic
regulations.
The indicator light will go out if the
problem is no longer present.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case. CAUTION!
• When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and if the indicator
light does not switch on or if it
switches on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required. In addition, the OBDII
system incorporates a diagnostic
connector that can be interfaced
using diagnostic equipment. This
makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the control unit,
together with a set of specific
parameters for the engine operation
diagnostic cycle, for compliance with
CARB & EPA OBDII regulations.
Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The
indicator lights
up when
the left turn signals or the
hazard flashers are turned on. The indicator light will flash at the
same frequency of the turn signals
and is controlled by the stalk switch
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 alert the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
This warning light is
connected to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Under normal conditions, the
warning light should illuminate when
the ignition switch is in RUN and
should go off once the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressure
of one or more tires is too low and a
message will be displayed.
The TPMS malfunction warning light is
connected to the low tire pressure
monitoring light.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the monitoring light and
the related message will flash forDashboard 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,
stays lit, or switches on while driving,
have the system checked at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible.
In the latter case, the message will
remain displayed: to hide it, press the
button
on the steering wheel right

If the warning light remains ON or if it
does not illuminate or illuminates
while driving, contact your Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
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.
