(*) I.C.E. (Increased Control and
Efficiency) operates on engine supply
in order to reduce fuel consumption,
exhausts, noisiness (efficiency) by
dampening vehicle reactions
(control). The current mode is also
useful for low-grip surfaces.
The tables below summarize the
adjustment of transmission and engine
parameters according to set drive mode/s.
(ESC OFF) is the only mode
that does not depend on the
activation or deactivation of the other
modes. The tables show the two
configurations with:
•
(ESC OFF) button NOT pressed;
•
(ESC OFF) button pressed.
WARNING!
On Trofeo version, when CORSA drive
mode is activated, the
(ESC OFF)
indicator light on the instrument
cluster is on because the intervention
of the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system is lower than the other
modes, but still present to allow a
more sporty drive.
You can always press (ESC OFF) button
to fully deactivate ESC system. Due to
high power output of the engine can
be potentially dangerous to drive the
car on wet or slippery roads with ESC
off and CORSA drive mode set.Driving

Entry/Exit During transition from one position to
another, the instrument cluster display
will show a pop-up indicator (above
the coolant temperature indicator)
which reproduces the ride height
symbols. On this indicator, the LED for
the new position, set by means of the
selector on central console, will flash
while the LEDs of intermediate
positions will turn on when set
position is reached. The new position
will be displayed on the dedicated
area at top right of the display and
the indicator will turn off after
approximately 2 seconds. The system requires that the engine
be running for all changes. When
lowering the vehicle, all of the doors,
including the liftgate, must be closed.
If a door is opened at any time while
the vehicle is lowering, the change
will not be completed until the open
door/s is/are closed.
The pneumatic suspension system of
this vehicle uses a lifting and lowering
pattern preventing the headlights
from incorrectly shining into
oncoming traffic.
When raising the vehicle, the rear of
the vehicle will move up first and then
the front.
When lowering the vehicle, the front
will move down first and then the
rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may
be noticed that the pneumatic
suspension system operates briefly,
this is normal. The system is correctingDriving

Display Messages
After shifting selector to change
position, a pop-up message will
indicate for 5 seconds when set
position has been reached (after
pneumatic suspension system
intervention that might last up to 30
seconds).
This type of message will be displayed
only if the option to view all
pneumatic suspension system messages
was set (For further details, refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
Set ride height and drive mode can be
monitored on instrument cluster
display via “Drive mode” menu, using
buttons on the right-hand side of the steering wheel (see chapter
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The change from one position to
another can occur only if the following
requirements are met.
• Lifting: engine running, speed lower
than preset limit, etc.
• Lowering: engine running, speed
lower than preset limit, doors closed,
etc.
Ride height change can be temporarily
suspended or disabled under the
following conditions, as indicated in
the pop-up messages on instrument
cluster display.
• High speed: decrease speed to set
new height.
• Pneumatic suspension system
overheat: wait for the system to cool
down before changing height.
• Door(s) and/or liftgate open: close
door(s) and liftgate to lower the
vehicle.
• Pneumatic suspension system
temporarily disabled or in fault: wait
a few minutes and repeat the
operation or contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer . • Low battery: start the engine to
recharge battery and change ride
height.
• Entry/Exit position not available:
check the cause preventing this
control.
Using the Ride Height Positions and
speed Thresholds
The different ride heights that can be
set with the selector allow user to
drive the vehicle on and off road,
using the available drive modes and
functions.
NOTE:
The indications below explain as a
general rule which selector position
has to be used in certain situations and
which are the speed thresholds at
which it is possible to set the available
ride height and when system
automatically switches to a different
height. In any case, the driver must
always assess and set the ride height
and drive mode most suitable to the
conditions of the current driving path
on a case by case basis.
• Normal : normal ground clearance.
This is the standard height position
of the pneumatic suspension and is
meant for normal road conditions.Driving
