follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death. The driver is
always in charge to safely drive and
to avoid critical situations not
relying on the support of the
system. Driver has to keep in mind
that the system and therefore its
intervention is always subject to the
prevailing physical limits.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is
not intended either to warn or to
apply any brake aid/brake
intervention in case of collisions
with pedestrians (if not equipped
with PEB sub-system), bicycles and
not licensable vehicles in general.
Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)
Minimum 0 (0)
Engaged/activated 1.12 (1.8)
Maximum 155 (250)
When the speed is outside the
specified limits, the system
automatically disables without turning
on the corresponding warning light
on the instrument cluster. FCW Status The driver can adjust FCW sensitivity
or enable/disable the brake actuation
with the other emergency brakings by
touching "Controls" soft-key on MTC+
display. The current setting is indicated
beside to the "Forward Collision
Warning" soft-key. If you want to
change the setting, touch the soft-key
on the side to enter FCW page.
Setting options are described in the
following paragraph.
When FCW status for some reason
changes to off, the corresponding
amber warning light on instrument
cluster will light on. This warning light informs the driver
that FCW is disabled. This warning
light will light even when the
activation of another driver assistance
feature or drive mode (example:
(ESC OFF)) disables the FCW.
NOTE:
The FCW system setting is kept in
memory from one key cycle to the
next.
Changing FCW Sensitivity and
Active Braking The default status of FCW Sensitivity is
the “Medium” setting. When the
active braking function (“Forward
Collision Warning Active Braking”)
setting is on, the system warns you of
a possible collision with the vehicle in
front of you when you are farther
away and it applies limited braking.Driving
5
299

This gives you the most reaction time
to help avoid a possible collision.
Changing the sensitivity status to the
“Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the “Far”
sensitivity setting, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
“Medium” is the intermediate status
between the two described above.
NOTE:
• The default values shall appear at
every new ignition cycle: Sensitivity =
“Medium” and Active Braking = on.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant
objects such as objects not in the
path of the car, stationary objects
that are far away, oncoming traffic,
on cross traffic vehicles, or leading
vehicles with the same or higher rate of speed.
• The active braking (autonomous
braking/braking aid) will not
provided in case of potential collision
with static object such as guard rails,
walls, etc..).
• FCW will be disabled like ACC (refer
to chapter “Adaptive Cruise Control -
ACC” in this section.
Changing the active braking status to
“Off” prevents the system from
providing limited autonomous braking
or additional brake support if the
driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision. In
this state the system disables the brake
jerk.
Limited Operation and Service
Warning The messages indicating on display the
limited functionality or service at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer required
are the same as for the ACC system.
For further details, refer to “Adaptive
Cruise Control – ACC” in this section. NOTE:
• The adjustment of the sensor could
be affected by strong shocks or light
collisions. This could affect the
system by reducing the systems
performance or could increase the
false positive rate. The adjustment of
the radar system has to be proved or
a new adjustment has to be
performed by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
• The radar system requires specific
feature to detect objects. The
detection could be disturbed/reduced
by environment influences, for
example by electrical field or the
object itself. Object with small radar
reflection properties could not be
detected or detected late.
• When in “CORSA” mode (TROFEO
version only), the FCW feature is
deactivated.

Lane Keeping Assist - LKA
(optional, with ACC only) This system was designed especially
for highway or freeway driving, to
reduce the risk that the vehicle, under
particular circumstances, accidentally
departs from the lane in use. When
this happens, graphic instructions on
instrument cluster display together
with steering torque application and
steering wheel vibration (depending
on the distance to the line) warn the
driver that the vehicle is going out of
the lane and initiate a steering
maneuver to try to prevent the lane
exit.
To detect lane lines, the system uses
the forward-facing camera behind of
the rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used also by the lighting system
to manage the automatic high beams.
The logic core is in the front radar.
LKA system remembers the condition
it was in before turning off the
vehicle.
Refer to “MTC+ "Controls" Screen” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information. NOTE:
In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)
Minimum 37 (60)
Engaged/activated 37 (60)
Maximum 112 (180)
Customized Settings LKA is configurable by the driver in
order to maximize its efficiency based
on the driver driving style and the
expectation of the system, reducing at
the same time the possible
invasiveness.
Entering "Controls" page on MTC+
display the driver can see the current
setting beside the "Lane Keeping
Assist" soft-key.
Touching “Lane Keeping Assist”
soft-key can disable or enable the
system. Touching the soft-key on the side the
driver can change the setting.
Driver warnings can be only "Visual"
or "Visual & Haptic" (default mode).
System response can be set to "Early",
"Medium" (default mode) or "Late".
System reaction force can be set to
"Low", "Medium" (default mode) or
"High".
Meanings of Settings
• "Visual" only: the system will not
request any steering torque/Driving
5
301

vibration to correct the car trajectory.
The system will only show on the TFT
display when the vehicle is passing
the lane.
• "Visual & Haptic": the system will
apply steering torque when lane
departure is detected while showing
at the same time the proper cluster
indication, adding to this steering
vibration when the departure is very
imminent.
When "Visual & Haptic" is selected and
LKA is enabled then the following
menu will be used by the system.
• "LKA Sensitivity": it tunes the
distance to the lane boundary where
the system will start to apply steering
torque.
• "LKA Strength": it tunes the steering
torque value to have a stronger or
weaker trajectory correction/
deviation.
WARNING!
In rare cases, Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) may make an inappropriate
steering torque application. LKA may
be interrupted at any time counter
steering. Lack of attention may lead to
serious injury or death. System Availability The ADAS systems (LKA, CC, ACC, FCW
and HAS) help the driver while driving.
These systems can be set and
monitored simultaneously on the
display, after opening “Driver Assist”
menu (see paragraph “TFT Display:
Menus and Settings” under
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
LKA is designed for an attentive driver;
therefore the system is available only
when his/her hands are on the steering
wheel or with hands off only for a very
limited amount of time. When the
system is enabled it will trigger cluster
warning in case at least one hand is
not detected on the steering wheel.
The torque application as well as the
vibration are suppressed/inhibited in
case of: high driver torque in the
steering wheel, high lateral
acceleration, trailer connected to the
proper control module, hands not on
the steering wheel detected for more
than a certain time.
High dynamic driving behaviors,
driving on the lane boundary or
driving off course will prevent the
function from working. FCW braking
and stability system interventions (ESC, ABS) will also prevent the system from
operating. Changing lane results in
system inhibition for a certain time. In
addition, the driver must respect some
road characteristics such as
minimum-maximum width, lanes
clearly defined by two lane boundaries
and for a limited time, the presence of
at least one lane boundary.
NOTE:
• In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• With lane boundaries it is mainly
referred to painted lines,
nevertheless the system in good
conditions might properly recognize
as valid lane boundaries also other
types (for example road edges, curbs,
etc..).
Being this function used to prevent
unintentional lane change/lane drift, it
will be temporary suppressed/inhibited
by a turn indicator activation,
therefore, graphic warning, steering
torque application and vibration will
be terminated. In this condition in case
of a vehicle detected by the Blind Spot
Assist (BSA) system in the covered area
on the proper side, there can be theDriving

The icons that represent the status of
the ADAS systems remain displayed
even when you exit the “Driver Assist”
screen.
System Limitations Because of physical limits, in order to
properly operate, the system needs
good visibility (it might not work or
not properly operate in case of heavy rain, snow, wet roads, fog, direct sun
on the camera, etc.).
NOTE:
• The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a more
robust hands detection when hands
are actually on the steering wheel (at
least one).
• The sensors are not able to detect
the presence of the hands on the
steering wheel areas covered in
wood, plastic bezels or carbon inserts
(where present).
Sharp turns, slopes and change in
slopes, poor lane boundaries, as well
as construction areas and all the
scenario described in this paragraph
may challenge the system, therefore
be always ready to prevent any
unexpected behaviour of the car.
Damaged front bumper, windshield
replaced without proper technical
intervention may also lead to system
malfunction or system unavailability.
Other conditions such as fault, but not
explicitly indicated here may also prevent/interrupt the system
intervention.
WARNING!
If the driver fails to adapt his/her
driving style, Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of
physics. It cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions.
Active LKA is only an aid. Driver is
always responsible for the distance to
the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed,
for braking in good time and for
staying in lane.
System in Fault When the LKA cannot properly
operate due to a fault of its
components or because the windshield
in front of the forward facing camera
is dirty, the amber light and/or the
corresponding message will be
displayed.Non-Driver Assist PageDriving

BSA in Visual Mode
When operating in “Visual” mode, the
BSA system will provide a visual alert
in the appropriate side view mirror
when it detects a vehicle or an object
in the detection areas monitored by its
sensors: depending on the status of
the relative turn indicator, the
warning light can be fixed or flashing.
However, when the system is
operating in RCP mode, it will respond
with both visual and audible alerts
when an oncoming vehicle or an
object approaching the rear end side
of the vehicle is detected.
Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted (if the
radio is on).
BSA in Visual and Acoustic Mode
When operating in “Visual & Acoustic”
mode, the BSA system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected
vehicle or object. If the turn signal is then activated, and
it corresponds to an alert present on
that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded: in the
same moment the warning light will
start flashing.
Whenever a turn signal and detected
vehicle or object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio volume will be reduced (if the
radio is on).
NOTE:
If the hazard flashers are on, the BSA
system will issue the appropriate visual
alert only.
When the system is in RCP mode, the
system shall respond with both visual
and audible alerts when a detected
vehicle or object is present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
(if on) is also muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
Blind Spot Assist Off
When this function is turned off from
the MTC+, there will be no visual or
audible alerts from either the BSA or
RCP subsystems.
NOTE:
The BSA system will store the current
operating mode when the vehicle is
shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started, the previously-stored mode
will be recalled and used.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message “Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable” when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside
rear-view mirrors will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone.Driving

System is Faulty
The BSA system cannot properly
operate due to a fault of its
components, or because the area on
the rear bumper fascia where the
radar sensors are located is dirty. In
these cases the amber warning light
and the related message will be
displayed on the instrument cluster.
In these cases avoid using the system
and have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
"Services" section on the website
www.maserati.com. Active Blind Spot Assist -
ABSA (optional, with ACC
only) ABSA system is only available on
vehicles equipped with ACC system
and represents an addition to the BSA
previously described (see chapter
"Blind Spot Assist - BSA" of this
section).
ABSA adds to the BSA the possibility in
certain circumstances to avoid and or
mitigate side collisions with vehicles
proceeding in the adjacent lanes by
changing the car trajectory in order to
try to keep it inside the detected/
estimated lane. A steering wheel
vibration is used as further feedback to
warn the driver that the lane change is
not safe.
The main logic core is the front radar,
whereas the sense inputs are the
radars on the rear bumper fascia used
for sensing the presence of vehicle in
the blind spot areas and the forward
facing camera placed behind the
internal rear-view mirror that instead
is used for lane detection and
estimation.
ABSA is designed to help the driver to
avoid mitigate a collision. Torque and
vibration application is however available in the 37 - 112 mph (60 -
180 km/h) speed interval. All the speed
thresholds related to the BSA remain
still valid, since ABSA as mentioned is
BSA extension.
ABSA is intended as a “hands-on”
function meaning that the driver is
required to stay engaged in the
driving all the time with his/her hands
on the steering wheel, in case hands
are not on the steering wheel for a
certain time there cannot be any
steering torque application vibration
included.
System Availability ABSA is designed for an attentive
driver therefore the system is available
only when his/her hands are on the
steering wheel or with hands off for a
very limited amount of time. When the
system is enabled, it will trigger cluster
warning in case at least one hand is
not detected on the steering wheel.
The torque application as well as the
vibration are suppressed/inhibited in
case of: high driver torque in the
steering wheel, high lateral
acceleration, hands not on the steering
wheel detected for more than a
certain time.
Highly dynamic behaviours, driving on
the lane boundary, off course willDriving

prevent the function from working.
FCW braking and stability system
interventions (ESC, ABS) will also
prevent the system from operating.
Changing lane results in system
inhibition for a certain time.
In addition the road must respect
some characteristics such as minimum-
maximum width, lane clearly defined
by two lane boundaries and only in
limited case for a limited time at least
one.
NOTE:
• In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• With lane boundaries it is mainly
referred to painted lines,
nevertheless the system in good
conditions might properly recognise
as valid lane boundaries also other
types (for example road edges,
curbs, etc..). Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)

Maximum 112 (180)
System Limitation Because of physical limits the system
to properly operate needs good
visibility (it might not work or not
properly operate in case of heavy rain,
snow, wet roads, fog, direct sun on
the camera, dirty windshield, low
illumination etc.)
Sharp turns, slopes and change in
slopes, poor lane boundaries, as well
as construction areas and all the
scenarios described in this paragraph
may challenge the system, therefore

malfunction or system unavailability.
Other conditions such as faults, but
not explicitly indicated here may also
prevent/interrupt the system
intervention. ABSA Setting ABSA is configurable by the customer
in order to maximize its efficiency
based on the driver driving style and
his/her expectation of the system,
reducing at the same time the possible
invasiveness.
Setting modes can be selected from
the MTC+ System (see "MTC+
