2019 MASERATI LEVANTE warning lights

Automatic Headlights This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by
the twilight sensor positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rear view mirror. To turn the
system on, rotate the lights switch
clockwise to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running and the
twilight sensor in “NIGHT” mode
before the headlights turn on in
automatic mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on and off the external lights is to be
considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
the front and rear fog lights on and
off manually.
Headlights On with Wipers When this feature is active, the
headlights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after activation of the
wipers, if the lights switch is placed in
the “AUTO” position. The headlights
will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if
previously activated with this function.
NOTE:
The headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
Headlights Time Delay This safety feature provides headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the
delay feature, place the ignition
switch in the OFF or ACC position
while the headlights are still on. Then turn off the headlights within 45
seconds.
The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
“0”). If you turn the headlights or
position lights on, or place the
ignition switch in RUN , the system will
cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off (“0”
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off (“0” position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are
active due to “Headlights with
Wipers”, then the headlamps delay
feature will not be activated when
the ignition switch is set in OFF
position.Understanding the Vehicle

Bi-Xenon Headlight (for
headlights without AFS) 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.
WARNING!
If xenon headlamp replacement is
necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Headlight with AFS (for
versions/markets, where
provided) These headlights combines the “xeno”
technology to the AFS (Advanced
Frontlighting System) adaptive
features.
The system is able to process signals of
onboard systems and subsequently
start up five strategic steps in the
following situations:
• “motorway beam”; • “country beam”;
• “town beam”;
• “adverse weather beam”;
• “tourist beam” (for example in
countries with circulation on the
opposite side). In this case this
function must be activated via the
menu of MTC+ (refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
The advantages offered by the AFS
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
motorway driving (see comparison
rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye stress and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the
road sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders
and motorcycle drivers).
The table shows the light values (lux)
and the light flux (lumen) of AFS
headlights. Combining a bending mode and a
vertical adjustment, the system assures
better visibility of the road surface
when driving on a curve, steering, or
in the event of road deviations,
optimizing vertical and horizontal
light distribution according to the
current drive path.
The increased lateral illumination is
gained through a fixed bending light
or a cornering light (depending on the
market) elaborating information
about the steering angle, the vehicle
speed and the turn indicator.
The improved vertical illumination, in
case of fast acceleration and/or fast
deceleration, will assure the deeper
illuminated distance from the vehicle,
through a dynamical adaptation of
headlight vertical attitude.Understanding the Vehicle

detection of other persons on the
road sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders
and motorcycle drivers). Furthermore,
the headlamps are suitable to prevent
glare, providing optimal lighting
when driving the car in a country with
circulation on the opposite side.
The table shows the light values (lux)
and the light flux (lumen) of AFS
headlights.
NOTE:
The values reported in the table may
change depending on the destination
market of the car. The system assures better visibility of
the road surface when driving in a
curve, steering, or in the event of road
deviations, optimizing vertical light
distribution according to the current
drive path.
The increased lateral illumination is
gained through a fixed bending light
or a cornering light (depending on the
market) elaborating information
about the steering angle, the vehicle
speed and the turn indicator.
The improved vertical illumination, in
case of fast acceleration and/or fast
deceleration, will assure the deeper
illuminated distance from the vehicle,
through a dynamical adaptation of
headlight vertical attitude. NOTE:
• Each time the adaptive headlight
system is turned on, the headlights
adjustment will perform a
self-regulation cycle.
• All AFS features are available only if
the vehicle is moving forward.
• “Adaptive Front Light” function can
be turned on or off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instrument and
Controls” for further information.
AFS System Failure
In the event of AFS system unvailable,
the related warning light and message
will light up on the TFT display. Take
your vehicle to the nearest Center of
the Authorized Maserati Delaer as
soon as possible to check the system.Lighting (at 27 yd/25 m) Light flux
Low beam 55 lux 765 lm
Low beam (low speed) 43 lux 600 lm

NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and them switch
to low beam on.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles
in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer
(closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions on the
windshield or camera lens will cause
the system to function improperly.
Automatic High Beam Failure
In the event of an automatic high
beam system failure, the related
amber warning light will light up on
the TFT display.
Take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible avoiding to use this system. High Beam with “Glare Free”
Feature (for “Full-LED”
headlight with AFS) The "Glare Free" feature associated
with "Full-LED" headlamps assists the
driver during traveling on an off-city
road with not sufficient environmental
illumination allowing the high beam
use also with other traffic participants
without glaring disturbance.
The no glaring effect is obtained
through matrixes of LED that are
dynamically switched on and off in
order to create a shadow zone in
correspondence of each other traffic
participants lights (motor vehicles and
bicycles, as well), according to the
information about other vehicles’
lights coming from the forward-facing
digital camera located on the
windshield , behind the internal
rear-view mirror.
The no glaring system is a
multi-shadow system, since it’s able to
create up to four light tunnels
simultaneously , each tunnel zone is as
large as the obstacle that should not
be glared.
The figure represents an example of
the car that is travelling in the
following scenarios: 1. two vehicles ahead in the same
direction;
2. another vehicle that is
overtaking;
3. another vehicle proceeding in the
opposite direction.
The system is able to detect and react
to an oncoming vehicle starting from
a distance of about 400 yd (400 m), in
a couple of seconds. Instead, in case of
the preceding vehicles, the system is
able to detect and react in few
seconds starting from a distance of
about 100 yd (100 m).
Activation Mode
The digital camera is the same used
for the automatic high beam, and like
automatic high beam also for "Glare
Free" feature it needs to be activated
by MTC+ “Controls” screen, touchingUnderstanding the Vehicle

By pulling the lever backward (toward
the steering wheel) you switch off the
high beams and switch on the low
beams.
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beams headlights
until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(lights switch in position “0”) if the
ignition switch is RUN position. CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. We
recommend therefore that you switch
them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.
Interior Lights The interior and external approach
lights turn on and off when
entering/exiting the vehicle (see
“Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section
“Before Starting” for further
information).
To protect the battery, the interior
lights will turn off automatically 10
minutes after the ignition switch has
been shifted to OFF . This occurs if the
interior lights were turned on
manually or by opening a door. The
glove box light, on the dashboard, shares the same characteristics
excepting the trunk and liftgate lights.
The brightness of the interior lights
(ambient lighting and backlighting of
controls and instruments) can be
adjusted by means of the buttons on
steering wheel right-hand side, enter
“Vehicle settings” menu and select
“Interior Lighting” sub-menu. To
adjust the backlighting, the vehicle
must be running and the light switch
must be in
position.
Press and release the switch (
)to
visualize the available parameters:
• “Backlighting” (example shown in

activated, the direction indicator
controls are disabled.
Integrated External Rearview
Mirror Lights External mirrors are supplied with LED
turn signals integrated on the support.
The LED turn signal indicators flash
simultaneously with the corresponding
turn signal lights in the front and rear
of the vehicle. Turning on the hazard warning flashers will also activate
these LEDs.
The external mirrors can be equipped
also with approach and courtesy LEDs,
lighting up when the vehicle entry/exit
lights are activated.Understanding the Vehicle
