2019 MASERATI LEVANTE fog light

The display area is divided in two
different sectors:
1 Conditioned speed limit area.
2 Unconditioned speed limit area.
NOTE:
Overtaking restriction signs are not
displayed by the TSA system.
If “Blinking On” warning mode is set,
when the visual warning is provided
only the unconditioned speed limit (in
sector 2 ) will start blinking when the
vehicle speed exceeds to the detected
unconditioned speed limit (“+0 mph”
or “+0 km/h” option) or when it
exceeds the set sensitivity value
(“+5 mph” - “+5 km/h” or “+10 mph” -
“+10 km/h” options). If the vehicle
speed stays above the unconditioned
speed limit for several seconds the
unconditioned speed limit sign will stop blinking because the manoeuvre
is evaluated as intentional. If the TSA is
not able to determine any kind of
valid speed limit neither from camera
nor from digital maps the following
image will be shown in sector 2 .
Since TSA also uses the data provided
by the navigation system, it can
update the sector 2 of the display in
the following situations without
detecting traffic signs:
• When the vehicle changes road.
• Highway enter/exit.
• Urban area stored in the digital map
enter/exit.
System Limitations TSA may be impaired or may not
function in the following situations:
• If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road,
if there are highly variable shade
conditions or in rain, snow or fog.
• If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming
traffic, direct sunlight or reflections
from other vehicles.
• If the windshield in the area of the
camera is dirty, or if the camera is
fogged up, damaged or covered.
• If the traffic signs are hard to detect,
e.g. due to dirt or snow, or because they are covered or because of
insufficient lighting.
• If the information in the navigation
system's digital map is incorrect or
out-of-date.
• If the signs are ambiguous, e.g.
traffic signs on construction sites or
in adjacent lanes.
• When passing buses or trucks with a
speed sticker.Driving

from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any
case, it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below.
• Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention. • Reduce your speed, especially on
roads with no streetlights.
• Stop at early signs of drowsiness.
Continuing to drive would be a risk
for yourself and for others. Have a
rest before continuing your trip.
• Keep the vehicle at a greater
distance from vehicles in front of
you than you would during the day:
it is difficult to assess the speed of
other vehicles when you only see the
lights.
• Use the high beams only outside of
densely-populated areas and when
you are sure that they will not
disturb other drivers.
• When another vehicle is
approaching, switch from high
beams (if on) to low beams.
• Keep lights and headlights clean.
• Outside of densely-populated areas,
beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On
a wet road all maneuvers are more
difficult since wheel grip on the road
is significantly reduced. This means
that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.
Some advices for driving in the rain
are listed below. • Reduce your speed and keep a
greater safety distance from the
vehicles in front of you. High speed
may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
• When driving on wet or slushy roads,
it is possible for a wedge of water to
build up between the tire and road
surface. This is known as
aquaplaning and may cause partial
or complete loss of vehicle control
and stopping ability. To reduce this
possibility: slow down if the road has
standing water or puddles.
• Heavy rain substantially reduces
visibility. In these circumstances, even
during the day, turn on the low
beams, to be more visible to other
drivers.
• Set the air conditioning and heating
system controls on the defogging
function, in order to avoid any
visibility problem.
• Periodically check the conditions of
the windshield wiper blades.
• In low grip conditions use “I.C.E.”
driving mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” and “Off-road Drive” in this
section).
• Avoid driving with ESC OFF as this
will likely cause a loss of control of
the vehicle.Driving

Driving in Fog
If the fog is dense, avoid traveling if
possible.
When driving in mist, blanket fog or
when there is the possibility of banks
of fog, please consider some advices
listed below.
• Keep a moderate speed.
• Even in daytime, turn on the low
beams and front and rear fog lights.
Do not use the high beams.
• Remember that fog creates
dampness on the asphalt and thus
any type of maneuver is more
difficult and braking distances are
extended.
• Keep a safe distance from the vehicle
in front of you.
• Avoid sudden changes in speed as
much as possible.
• Whenever possible, avoid overtaking.
• If you are forced to stop the vehicle
(breakdowns, impossibility of
proceeding due to poor visibility,
etc.), first of all, try to stop off of the
travel lane. Then turn on the hazard
warning flashers and, if possible, the
low beams. CAUTION!
Be aware that rear fog lights can
bother the drivers following your
vehicle: when visibility is back to
normal, turn off these lights.
Driving in the Mountains
Mountain
roads usually have
many
narrow turns and curves, tunnels and
steep uphill or downhill slopes: please
consider some advices listed below.
• Drive at a moderate speed, avoid
“cutting” corners.
• When driving inside a tunnel in
daylight turn on the low beams in
advance; avoid high beams and be
aware of the rapid brightness
change. Avoid abrupt maneuvers
that could be dangerous for the
following vehicle.
• Never coast downhill with the engine
off or in neutral.
• Remember that passing other
vehicles when driving uphill is slower
and thus requires more free distance
on the road. If you are being
overtaken on a hill, slow down and
allow the other vehicle to pass. Driving on Snow or Ice
Please consider some general advice
for driving in these conditions, listed
below.
• Maintain a very moderate speed.
• Fit snow chains or specific tires if the
road is covered with snow: see the
paragraphs “Tires – General
Information” in this section.
• We recommend you to activate the
“I.C.E.” mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” and “Off-road Drive” in this
section).
• During the winter season, even
apparently dry roads can have icy
sections. Be careful when crossing
bridges, viaducts and roads that have
little exposure to the sun and are
bordered by trees and rocks. They
may be icy.
• Keep an ample safe distance from
the vehicles in front of you.
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces
is dangerous. Accelerate slowly and
carefully whenever there is likely to be
poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud,
loose sand, etc.).Driving

For pressure of trailer tires, follow the
instructions given by the trailer
manufacturer.
After adjusting vehicle tire pressure
and connecting and disconnecting the
trailer, initialize the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) following
the instructions under chapter “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
this section.
Field of Vision of External
Rearview Mirrors Law provisions require the field of
vision of external rearview mirrors to
include the rear trailer corners.
If vehicle external rearview mirrors
cannot cover the required field of
vision, it is possible to install additional
rearview mirrors sticking further out at
the sides.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
towing a trailer and about the
approved components available in the
"Genuine Accessories" range. Trailer Lights Law provisions require trailers to be
equipped with an electrical lighting
system that must include the following
lights:
• Turn signals;
• Position lights;
• Stop lights;
• Rear fog lights;
• Reverse lights;
• License plate lights;
• Side marker lights (for trailer width
over 6.8 ft/2.1 m).
The power input of the trailer lights
must not exceed the values in the
following list.
• Position lights, side marker lights and
license plate lights :6x5Wper side.
• Rear fog lights :2x21W
• Turn signals :2x21W
• Stop lights :4x21W
• Reverse lights :2x21W
Minimum detectable current of Trailer
Tow Module (TTM): 100mA. Trailer Wiring Harness
Vehicle trailer tongue includes a 4-pin
sealed connector powered at 12VDC
for connection of the corresponding
trailer wiring connector.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for
an internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15W.
CAUTION!
Do not cut or splice wiring into the
vehicle wiring harness. Do not change
cable connections on connectors. TheDriving

External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the bodywork.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of originating corrosive
processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept
clear and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to
avoid damaging it. Glass Surfaces
All
glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window on the liftgate equipped
with electric defrosters. Do not use
scrapers or other sharp instrument
that may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
When cleaning is performed, keep all
metal objects at a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the
Light Clusters
With cold or humid climates, after a
driving rain or after cleaning the car,
the surface of the front and rear light
clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity differences
between the lens internal and
external surface, which nevertheless
does not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappears when switching on the
lights, starting from the centre of the
diffuser and gradually going to the
edges.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not useMaintenance and Care
