Cleaning the Park Assist
Sensors When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry, rough
or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with clean
water, possibly adding car shampoo.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensor area, please contact
exclusively the Authorized Maserati
Dealer . Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensors
operation.
Park Assist System Usage
Precautions NOTE:
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the
performance of Park Assist.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc., must not be placed
within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
bumper while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so can result in the
system misinterpreting a close object
as a sensor problem, causing the
service Park Assist message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster. CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and
it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might only be
temporarily detected or not detected
at all. Obstacles located above or
below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using Park Assist in order to be
able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. When backing
up, it is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when
using Park Assist.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the Park Assist
system. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
Park Assist Volume The volume of the acoustic signal
emitted by the front and rear parking
sensors is set to the medium level.
Three different levels of volume can be
selected via the submenu “Safety &
Driving Assistant” from the MTC+
System.
Low level is useful in certain conditions
when the parking sensor acoustic
signal keeps coming on although there
is no actual collision hazard. This may
typically occur when driving in a queue
or when the vehicle is overtaken by
motorcycles or other vehicles on one
or both sides in a queue of traffic.
When you set the volume, only the
parking sensor acoustic signal will be
affected. The radio or any other
devices connected to the vehicle sound
system will not be affected.
Refer to chapter “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
Operation with a Trailer The operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric plug is inserted in theBefore Starting
