damaged if the wiper control is left
in any position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the windshield wiper
blades from returning to the off
position. If the windshield wiper
control is turned off and the blades
cannot return to the off position, the
wiper motor may be damaged.
Rain Sensing Wipers This feature detects moisture on the
windshield through an inside rearview
mirror integrated sensor.
The rain sensor adapts the frequency
of the windshield wiper strokes (in the
intermittent operation mode) to the
intensity of the rain.
All the other functions controlled by
the right-hand multifunction lever
(windshield wipers off, in continuous
slow and fast operation mode and in temporary fast operation mode)
remain the same.
The rain sensor is activated
automatically by moving the
right-hand multifunction lever to
"AUTO" position. The sensor has a
setting range that varies progressively:
from the windshield wiper stationary
position - when the windshield is dry -
to the windshield wiper second speed -
in conditions of pouring rain.
To regulate the frequency of
intermittent operation, with the
right-hand multifunction lever in
"AUTO" position, turn the end section
of the lever.
Rotating the end section clockwise,
intermittent operation varies from fast
intermittent wipe (max.) to slow
intermittent wipe (min).
If the engine is turned off during
automatic windshield wiper operation, with the right-hand multifunction
lever in "AUTO" position, to reactivate
the function the next time the engine
is started, the lever must be moved to
"OFF" (stop position) then back to
"AUTO" position.
CAUTION!
• The rain sensing feature may not
function properly by ice or dried salt
water on the windshield.
• Use on the windshield of RainX ®
or
products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
Rain Sensor Failure
When
the rain sensor is activated, in
the event that it is malfunctioning, the
windshield wiper will be switched on
in intermittent operation mode and
the sensing range will be set by the
user, regardless of whether or not
there is rain on the windshield.
The
symbol appears on the
instrument cluster display.
In this case, we recommend that you
cut-out the rain sensor and turn on the
wiper, if necessary, in continuous
mode. Contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.Understanding the Vehicle

Soft Top NOTE:
By soft top “opening” we
mean folding the soft top
into the rear luggage
compartment.
By soft top “closing” we
mean the opposite.
Precautions Before and during the soft top
operation observe the following
precautions.
WARNING!
• Before opening or closing the soft
top, always check that no one is in
the way, as impact with the soft top
may cause injury. Also check that no
objects stand in the way of the soft
top, as impact may cause damage to
both the soft top and the object.
• The movement of the soft top with
the engine running must be
performed outdoor. Exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide which is
strongly toxic and potentially lethal. • In case of hazard, release the soft
top button, which stops its
movement.
• Keep your hands away from the soft
top levers, the soft top compartment
and the upper edge of the
windshield.
• Before operating the soft top, make
sure that no passengers are sitting in
the rear seats.
• Never operate or act on a soft top
that is performing an automatic
movement cycle.
CAUTION!
• Do not open the soft top when it is
wet, as the damp that would form in
the soft top housing might cause
permanent damage to the structure
or stains or mold in the canvas.
Should it need to be opened, do not
leave it sitting in the housing for
more than a day.
• Open the soft top when it is dirty, as
both the canvas and the rear window
might be damaged when it is folded.
• Do not open the soft top if there is
ice or snow on it. Should it need to
be opened, remove the snow or ice and do not use sharp or pointed
objects.
• Do not place objects on the soft top
as they might fall and cause damage
and injury when it is moved.
• Do not place any objects in the soft
top housing.
• Do not fasten roof-racks or similar on
the soft top.
• When closing the soft top, never
start driving before the soft top has
completed the closing cycle and has
locked on the windshield frame.
• Only open or close the soft top when
the vehicle is stationary, otherwise it
might not fully open or close. For
example, if you start moving the soft
top when you are standing at a
traffic light and you start driving
before the soft top has completed its
opening or closing cycle, you can
complete the operation by driving
slowly (do not exceed 19 mph -
30 km/h) and holding the soft top
movement switch pushed until the
process has been completed.
• If you are driving at high speeds,
vacuum might be created in the
passenger compartment and the soft
top might start “wobbling”; to solveUnderstanding the Vehicle

NOTE:
The soft top failure temporarily
disables, for approx. 10 minutes, the
power windows’ operation. After this
time, the power windows will resume
normal functioning.
Soft Top Manual Closing
Operation In case of need, the soft top may be
closed manually.
WARNING!
• Manual operation of the soft top for
emergency closing requires the
presence of two persons in order to
prevent personal injury or damage
to the car.
• When moving the soft top by hand,
take the greatest care as its movable
parts could squeeze or trap objects
or parts of your body.
CAUTION!
The emergency procedure described
below must be used to close the soft
top if it is not possible for you to
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately and you cannot
keep the soft top open. If the failure occurs when the opening
procedure
is already in progress, do
not attempt to complete the
procedure - close back the soft top
manually according to the following
instructions. After depressurizing the
hydraulic circuit by turning the key in
the ignition switch to STOP (OFF)
position, perform the emergency
procedure starting from the point at
which the opening stage jammed.
WARNING!
After depressurizing the system, the
soft top will move freely. Therefore, if
it is not in a balanced position, it will
close or open as a consequence of its
weight. Take the greatest care to
avoid being squeezed or trapped by
its levers and mechanisms.
Before Starting
NOTE:
• During
emergency closing, the side
windows must be lowered.
•
To move the soft top manually, you
must depressurize the hydraulic system
by turning the key in the ignition
switch to
STOP (OFF) position and
waiting approx. 10 minutes. • To avoid unintentional activations,
we recommend that you remove the
key from the ignition switch. Take
the flat-head screwdriver and the
wrench to lock/unlock the soft top
hinges out of the tool kit located in
the trunk compartment (see "Tool
Kit" in section "In an Emergency").
