rear seats only when the front seat is
stopped. Make sure that passengers in
the rear seats (especially children) do
not touch the seat or any of it's
components when it's moving.
Comfort Pack Front Seats This includes:
• heating of the front seats;
• driver seat, steering wheel and
outside rearview mirrors memory
position (see paragraph "Driver
Memory Seat" in this chapter).
Front Heated Seats The front seats are equipped with
heaters in both seat cushions and
seatbacks.
WARNING!
• Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must be
careful when using the seat heater. It
may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. NOTE:
Seat
heating also works with engine
off and key in ignition switch in ACC
or MAR (ON) position. To avoid
discharging the battery, it is
recommended to activate the feature
with engine running.
The heating is activated by turning
control on the outer side of the seat
cushion.
When this function is active for one or
more seats, the relative warning light
will illuminate on the display. Using
this control, heating can be adjusted
to 3 different levels.

heated, press "+" or "–" buttons to
change the heating level.
Driver Memory Seat This feature allows the driver to store
up to three different memory profiles
for easy recall through the buttons on
the outer side of the seat cushion.
Each memory profile contains desired
position settings for the driver seat,
outside side mirrors and power tilt
and telescopic steering column. The memory procedure is only possible
with the key in the ignition switch
turned in MAR (ON) position.
Adjust the position of the seat, the
outside rearview mirrors and the
steering wheel.
Engage R (Reverse) gear and position
the passenger’s outside mirror again
to ensure the best possible visibility
for reversing, then disengage R
(Reverse) gear.
Next press one of the three buttons
“1”, “2” or “3”, each corresponding to
a memorizable position, for more than
3 seconds until you hear a
confirmation tone.
Lumbar support adjustment is not
included in the seat position storage
procedure.
The memorization of a new seat
position cancels the one previously
stored with that particular button.Understanding the Vehicle

Rear Armrest It is located between the two seats
and cannot be moved.
Steering Wheel
Adjustment This feature allows you to tilt the
steering column upward or downward
or to lengthen or shorten it in order to
adjust the steering wheel to an
optimized position.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering
column/wheel while driving.
Adjusting the steering column/wheel
while driving could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle. Be sure the
steering column/wheel is adjusted
before driving your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in
serious injury or death.
Power Adjustment The power tilt/telescoping steering
column/wheel switch is located on the
lower left side of the steering column.
It can only be adjusted if the key in
the ignition switch is in MAR (ON)
position.
To adjust the tilt of the steering
column/wheel, move the switch up or
down as desired. To lengthen or shorten the steering
column/wheel, pull the switch toward
you or push the switch away from you
as desired.
The steering wheel position is
memorized, together with the
position of the outside rearview
mirrors, when the driver’s seat
position is stored.
Driver's "Easy Entry/Exit"
Function The "Easy Entry/Exit" function helps
the driver when entering/exiting the
vehicle.
This function is activated when the
door is opened only if the key has
been extracted from the ignition
switch or is in STOP (OFF) position.
When the driver exits the vehicle, the
steering wheel moves upward.Understanding the Vehicle

On re-entry the driver finds the power
steering wheel raised. After sitting
down and closing the door, upon
turning the key to MAR (ON) position,
the power steering wheel moves back
to the normal driving position.
Rearview Mirrors Outside Mirrors Outside mirrors can be adjusted
electrically.
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The outside mirrors are electrochromic,
which means, they automatically
operate an anti-glare function by
gradually shading as the light hitting
the mirrors increases.
The outside rearview electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
inside rearview electrochromic mirror.
NOTE:
The mirrors can be adjusted electrically
only with key in the ignition switch in
MAR (ON) position.
Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror control is located on
the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror control consist of an
external selector dial and a four-way
mirror control switch.
To adjust a rearview mirror, turn the
external selector dial in the L (left) or R
(right) position to select the mirror
that you want to adjust. Move the mirror control switch
corresponding to the direction of the
mirror desired movement (up - down -
right - left).
Bring the external selector dial back to
the center position to avoid changing
the position of the mirror
involuntarily.Understanding the Vehicle

Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights 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.
In addition, the headlights are
equipped with an ALC system
(Adaptive Light Control).
This system combines the light beam
with the steering angle to assure
better visibility of the road surface
when driving in a curve, steering or in
the event of road deviations.
The advantages offered by improved
lighting system are perceived
especially in case of bad weather, fog
and/or insufficient road indications
providing broader illumination of the
side zones, which are normally left in
the dark, and for highway driving (see
comparison rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye strain and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers). The electric arc requires very high
voltage for activation, but afterward
power is supplied at a lower voltage.
The headlights reach maximum
brightness about 0,5 seconds after
being turned on.
The strong light produced by this type
of headlight requires the use of an
automatic system to keep the position
of the headlights constant and to
prevent dazzling approaching cars, in
the case of braking, acceleration or
load transport.
WARNING!
If xenon headlamp replacement is
necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Parking Lights The parking lights only work with the
key in the ignition switch turned to
STOP (OFF) or ACC position, or with
the key removed.
They are activated by turning the light
switch to
position.
It is harder to turn the switch to
position than to the other
positions. This is to avoid activating the parking lights unintentionally and
wasting power.
When the parking lights are on, the
warning light on the instrument
cluster illuminates.
With parking lights on, move down
left-hand multifunction lever to switch
on position lights on left-hand side,
and move it up to switch on only the
ones on right-hand side.
Automatic Headlights When the light switch is turned to
"AUTO" position and the key in the
ignition switch is in MAR (ON)
position, the position lights, low beam
lights and license plate lights turn on
and off automatically, depending on
the light outside.
NOTE:
The high beams can only be turned on
manually by pushing the left-hand
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
• If the low beams are activated, they
will come on automatically every
time the lights are turned on. You
are therefore advised to turn off the
high beams every time the twilightUnderstanding the Vehicle
