system checked by the Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
Certain components of this vehicle
such as air bag modules, seat belt
pretensioners, adaptive steering
columns, and button cell batteries may
contain Perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or
vehicle end of life disposal. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.
Defroster
Check
operation by
selecting the
defrost mode and place the fan system
on high speed (see “Air Conditioning
Controls” chapter in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
You should be able to feel the air
directed against the windshield and
front side windows. Contact
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your
vehicle.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor
mats included in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats and
other coverings will reduce the size
of the pedal area and interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a regular
basis. Always properly reinstall and
secure floor mats that have been
removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal causing
a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
Tires
•
Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or other
objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.Before Starting

Automatic Headlights This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by the
twilight sensor positioned on the inner
surface of the windshield, over the
rear view mirror. To turn the system
on, rotate the lights switch clockwise
to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before
the headlights turn on in automatic
mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on
and off the external lights is to be considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
the rear fog lights on and off
manually.
Headlights On with Wipers
When
this feature
is active, the
headlights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after activation of the
wipers, if the lights switch is placed in
the “AUTO” position. The headlights
will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if previously
activated with this function.
NOTE:
The headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
Headlights Time Delay This safety feature provides headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the
delay feature, place the ignition switch
in the OFF or ACC position while the
headlights are still on. Then turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
“0”). If you turn the headlights or
position lights on, or place the ignition
switch in RUN , the system will cancel
the delay.
If you turn the headlights off (“0”
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off (“0” position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position.
• Once the delay feature is active, any
additional shifting of the light switch
will cancel the feature.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are active
due to “Headlights with Wipers”,
then the headlamps delay feature
will not be activated when the
ignition switch is set in OFF position.Understanding the Vehicle

112

NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and then switch
the low beam on.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles
in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer
(closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions on the
windshield or camera lens will cause
the system to function improperly.
Automatic High Beam Failure
In the event of a failure on high beam
system, the related amber warning
light will light up on the TFT display.
Take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible avoiding to use this system. Fog Lights The rear fog lights switch is built into
the lights switch.
To activate the rear fog lights, turn the
headlight switch to the low beam
light
or “AUTO” position. Press
the lights switch
to turn on the
rear fog lights.
Pressing again the lights switch
will deactivate the rear fog lights.
Turning the lights switch off (position
“0”) will also deactivate the rear fog
lights.
A dedicated telltale in the instrument
cluster illuminates when the rear fog
lights are turned on. NOTE:
The rear fog lights will NOT activate
automatically when turning on the
low beam
or “AUTO” headlights
if previously deactivated by turning
the lights switch off. The rear fog
lights will only turn on by operating
the switch as previously described.
Multifunction Lever The multifunction lever controls the
operation of the turn signals,
headlight beam selection, overtaking
lights and windshield wiper and
washer (for this content see the
chapter “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” of this section).
The multifunction lever is fitted on the
left side of the steering column.Understanding the Vehicle
