Display Warnings and
Maintenance of ACC and FCW
Systems Wipe Front Radar Sensor Warning
This warning will display and also a
chime will indicate when conditions
temporarily limit system performance
due to sensor poor or failed signal
reception. This most often occurs at
times of poor visibility, such as in snow
or heavy rain. The ACC and FCW
systems may also become temporarily
blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt or ice on the radar sensor. In
these cases, the system will be
disabled.
This message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly
reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with
reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The
ACC and FCW systems will recover
operation after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions,
when the radar is not tracking any
vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor,
the driver should examine the sensor.
It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located in
the center of the front grille, behind
the Maserati trident. To keep the ACC System operating
properly, it is important to note the
following maintenance items:
• Always keep the sensor clean.
Carefully wipe the sensor lens with a
soft cloth. Be cautious not to damage
it.
• Do not remove any screws from the
sensor. Doing so could cause an ACC
system malfunction or failure and
require a sensor realignment.
• If the sensor or front end of the
vehicle is damaged due to a collision,
see your authorized dealer for
service.
• Do not attach or install any
accessories near the sensor, including
transparent material or aftermarket
grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC
system failure or malfunction. When
the condition that deactivated the
system is no longer present, the
system will return to the “Adaptive
Cruise Control Off” state and will
resume function by simply
reactivating it. NOTE:
If the radar sensor wipe warning
message occurs frequently (e.g. more
than once on every trip) without any
snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction,
have the radar sensor realigned at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Clean Front Windshield Warning
The warning will display and a signal
will indicate when conditions
temporarily limit system performance
due to failed signal reception. This
most often occurs at times of poor
visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain
and fog. The ACC and FCW systems
may also become temporarily blinded
due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt,
or ice on windshield and fog on the
inside of glass or when driving in bad
weather. In these cases, the system will
have degraded performance.
The ACC and FCW systems will recover
operation after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions,
when the camera is not tracking any
vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor,
the driver should examine the
windshield and the camera. They may
require cleaning or removal of an
obstruction.Driving

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.
Forward Collision Warning
– FCW The Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
system with braking action uses the
same parts already described for
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) for
sensing vehicle ahead (hereinafter
“target vehicle”) as well as part of the
warnings/messages on system
condition and activation status.
Full performance can be reached only
when both the sensing parts have
detected a vehicle or, if the car is
equipped with Pedestrian Emergency
Braking (PEB) system, also a
pedestrian. The difference between full and
reduced performance is not visible for
the driver.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking
(PEB) System (if equipped) The Pedestrian Emergency Braking
(PEB) is a sub-system of FCW and it
provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings on the
instrument cluster display, and may
apply automatic braking when it
detect a potential frontal collision
with a pedestrian.
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is
not intended to avoid a collision on its
own, nor can PEB detect every type of
potential collision with pedestrian.

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.

vibrate and a graphic will display on
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
• In case the vehicle approaches a
curve that is too tight in relation to
the current speed the system will
disengage, therefore the driver must
be prepared to take over control of
the vehicle immediately at any time.
To avoid this situation it is important
that the vehicle speed is not set
higher than the current speed limit
of the road.
• Highway Assist (HAS) is a hands-on
feature! You must keep your hands
on the steering wheel at all times.
The HAS system will disengage and
ACC will cancel if your hands are
removed from the steering wheels
for a set amount of time.
• HAS is intended for use only on
highways or limited access freeways
with a fully attentive driver. When
using HAS, hold the steering wheel
and be aware of surrounding traffic
and road conditions. Always be
prepared to immediately take over
control of the vehicle from the HAS
system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
• The following list does not fully
represent all situations in which HAS
may not function as intended. Do
NOT solely rely on the HAS system
to control the vehicle. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert
and safely control the vehicle at all
times.
• If the windshield is replaced, you
must have the forward-facing
camera remounted and aligned by
an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Many factors can impact the
performance
of HAS causing
the
system to be unable to function as
intended. These include (but are not
limited to):
• Narrow, winding or curvy roads.
• Poor visibility (due to heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Bright light (oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) or shadows.
• Damage or obstruction caused by
mud, ice, snow, etc.
• A damaged or misaligned bumper.
• Interference from other equipment
that generates electromagnetic
waves. • Wet roads, roads covered or partially
covered by snow.
• Construction zones.
HAS Operation With ACC set (see “Adaptive Cruise
Crontrol – ACC” in this section), HAS
system activates by simply pressing the
button on the steering wheel.
Once the conditions are met, HAS will
engage.
CAUTION!
The Highway Assist (HAS) system may
take up to 5 seconds to engage once
all conditions are met.
The conditions for HAS to engage are
as
follows:
• HAS must be turned on or enabled.
NOTE:
In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• The vehicle must be on the highway
or limited access freeway.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) must
be engaged.
• Left and right visible lane lines.Driving

• Refit the access cover making sure to
engage the two projecting elements
indicated by the arrow fully home
into the bumper.
• Push cover lower end toward
bumper until the two retainers click
in place.
Towing Tips • Before setting out on a trip, check
operation of trailer rear lights and stop lights to ensure you do not
jeopardize other road users' safety.
• Make certain that the load is secured
in the trailer and will not shift
during travel. When trailering cargo
that is not fully secured, dynamic
load shifts can occur that may be
difficult for the driver to control.
• When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your vehicle
or trailer. Overloading can cause a
loss of control, damage to brakes,
driveline, steering, suspension or
tires.
• Safety metal wire must always be
used between your vehicle and
trailer. Always connect the wire to
the hook retainers of the trailer and
vehicle hitch. Cross the wire under
the trailer tongue and allow enough
slack for turning corners.
• Comply with local applicable speed
limits.
• Towing any trailer will increase your
stopping distance. When towing,
you should allow for additional
space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do
so could result in an accident.
• For towing use “Normal” ride
height. • Do not exceed maximum specified
pressure for vehicle and trailer tires.
• Vehicles with trailers should not be
parked on a steep grade. When
parking, put the tow vehicle
transmission in P (Park) and apply
the parking brake on the tow
vehicle. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
• Do not use electronic Cruise Control
(CC and/or ACC) when driving on
slopes or when carrying heavy loads.
• The D (Drive) gear must be selected
when towing. The transmission
controls include a drive strategy to
avoid frequent shifting when
towing. However, if frequent
shifting does occur while in D
(Drive), if provided, you can use the
paddle shift switches to manually
select a lower gear.
• Using a lower gear while operating
the vehicle under heavy loading
conditions, will improve
performance and extend
transmission life by reducing
excessive shifting and heat buildup.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.Driving
