pedal pressed. To move the shift lever
from P (Park) position to any other
position, the engine must be switched
on. The engine can be regularly
started in P (Park) range. Never
attempt to use P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.
When parking on a level surface, you
may place the shift lever in the P
(Park) position first, and then apply
the electronic parking brake by
pulling the trigger upward.
The Instrument cluster will display the
related
light indicator that flashes
until the maximum engagement force
has been reached.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before placing the shift
lever in P (Park).
For enhanced security, turn the front
wheels toward the kerb on a downhill and away from the kerb on an uphill
grade.
WARNING!
• Never use the P (Park) position as a
substitute for the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB). Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to
prevent vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
• Make sure the transmission is in P
(Park) before leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT race the engine when
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
into another gear range, as this can
damage the drivetrain.
• Shift the lever to P (Park) position
only when the vehicle is stationary.
Therefore, it is advisable to perform
this maneuver with the brake pedal
depressed.
• To prevent accidental engagement,
the transmission shift lever can only
be shifted from P (Park) to any other
position when the unlock button on
the transmission shift lever and the
brake pedal are depressed. • Before getting out of the vehicle,
check that the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) is engaged. Shift the
transmission shift lever to P (Park)
position even when you need to get
out of the vehicle only for a few
seconds, leaving the engine running.
If you turn off the engine with the
transmission
shift lever in a position
different from P (Park), an acoustic
signal will sound for a few seconds
and a message will be displayed
indicating to shift the lever to P (Park)
position.
When the driver’s door is opened with
the transmission shift lever in a
position different from P (Park), an
acoustic signal will sound for a few
seconds and a message warning the
driver that the transmission shift lever
is not in P (Park) position will be
displayed.
R (Reverse)
This range is used to move the vehicle
backward.
We recommend to shift into R
(Reverse) only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Vehicle halted: switching between P
(Park), R (Reverse) and D (Drive)
requires pressing the unlock button Driving
5

on the lever and brake pedal: N
(Neutral) is reached only by pressing
the unlock button on the lever.
• Vehicle moving: the driver can switch
from R (Reverse) to N (Neutral), or
vice versa, by pressing the unlock
button on the shift lever.
When the transmission shift lever is in
R (Reverse) position, the system emits
an acoustic signal for a few seconds.
You can also shift the transmission
shift lever to R (Reverse) position when
the vehicle is not completely
stationary, however, this does not
mean that reverse gear is actually
engaged, since there is a limit speed
above which the gear may not be
engaged. When the speed goes below
this limit, reverse gear is engaged.
CAUTION!
To prevent accidental engagement,
the transmission shift lever can only be
moved from R (Reverse) to any other
position when the unlock button is
pressed. It is advisable to also depress
the brake pedal when shifting to this
position.
N (Neutral)
This
range should be used when you
need to move the vehicle. • Vehicle halted and engine started:
switching from N (Neutral) to R
(Reverse), P (Park) and/or D (Drive)
requires brake pedal and unlock
button pressed.
• Vehicle moving: switching from N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D
(Drive) requires pressing the unlock
button. Switching to R (Reverse)
starting from N (Neutral) is only
possible if the vehicle is moving
backward, while switching to D
(Drive) starting from N (Neutral) is
only possible if the vehicle is moving
forward.
Set the parking brake and shift the
transmission into P (Park) if you must
leave the vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not switch to N (Neutral) and/or
never turn off the ignition to coast
downhill. These are unsafe practices
that limit driver’s response to
changing traffic or road conditions. It
is possible to lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the
transmission in N (Neutral) can result
in transmission damage. See “Towing a
Disabled Vehicle” in section “In an
Emergency” for further information.
D (Drive)
This
range should be used for most city
and highway driving. It provides the
smoothest upshifts and downshifts and
the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically shifts up
and down through all gears.
When this automatic forward gear is
set, the letter “D” illuminates on the
gear display and on the instrument
cluster.
The D (Drive) position provides
optimum driving characteristics under
all normal operating conditions of the
vehicle.
• Vehicle stationary: switching from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse) and/or to P
(Park) requires brake pedal and
unlock button pressed: reaching N
(Neutral) starting from D (Drive) is
allowed by only pressing the unlock
button on the shift lever.

ESC System Operations
In order to prevent unstable driving
conditions, the ESC system may request
the transmission system to deactivate
gearshifting. The system handles this
request depending on the gear
engaged and on the rpm, and decides
whether to accept it or not.
Driving with Cruise Control
With the Cruise Control function
activated, the transmission system
selects such settings as to provide
enhanced comfort and fuel-economy.
MC Start Strategy (for MC version
only)
With the aim of optimizing standing
starts for performance driving (only
recommended for use in areas closed
to traffic and in accordance with the
Highway Code), the automatic
transmission system is equipped with
quick start strategy.
This strategy is activated when the
following conditions occur
simultaneously:
• AUTO and SPORT modes active;
•
ESC mode off;
• brake pedal depressed. In these conditions, the driver has the
possibility to accelerate and, keeping
the brake pedal depressed, keep the
vehicle standing until reaching an
engine speed between 2300 an 2500
rpm. Then, upon releasing the brake
pedal, have the best standing start
performance.
WARNING!
This strategy must only be used on
vehicles in areas closed to traffic, in
accordance with the Highway Code
and only by skilled drivers.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions Transmission Failure
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.
CAUTION!
In these conditions, we recommended that you stop the vehicle and turn off
the engine for at least one minute.
When restarting the engine, the
self-diagnosis system may cancel the
malfunction, which will in any case be
recorded by the ECU.
A message and the
warning light
in the instrument cluster will inform
the driver about the transmission
failure.
In failure conditions, the transmission
shift lever can however be shifted to R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) and D (Drive)
position.
When shifting to D (Drive) position,
only a few gears will be available,
depending on the malfunction found.
CAUTION!
If a transmission failure is signaled,
take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem
corrected.
If the failure is signaled when the
engine
is started, it means that the
transmission ECU detected a fault
when the vehicle was last used. Also in
this case, take your vehicle to the
nearest Center of the AuthorizedDriving

that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
General Information The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure according to the vehicle
recommended cold pressure indicated
on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure”
in section “Features and
Specifications” and on the label
applied on the driver's side at the base
of the rear door pillar.
The cold tire inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check “Tires – General Information” in
section “Driving” for information on
how to properly inflate the tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as
the vehicle is driven - this is normal
and there is no adjustment required
when this occurs.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure if the tire pressure falls
below the low-pressure warning limit
for any reason, including low temperature effects and natural
pressure loss of the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the
driver of low tire pressure as long as
the condition persists and will not turn
off until the tire pressure is equal or
above the recommended cold
inflation pressure.
The TPMS monitors the tire pressure
by means of special sensors fitted
inside the wheel rims, in position with
the inflation valve.
These sensors transmit a signal that is
detected by the antenna integrated in
the ECU.
The ECU processes this information
and, via the CAN line, transmits a
series of tire pressure data and system
errors, if any, to the instrument cluster.
The display may show the information
received by means of specific screen
pages, which can be recalled by
pressing briefly the "MODE" button
(see "TFT Display: Controls" in chapter
"Instrument Cluster" of the section
Dashboard Instruments and
Controls"). WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warning
have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may occur when
using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
