WARNING!
Failure to follow the precautions
below might result in serious injury or
even death.
• Drivers must be careful during
maneuvers also when using the
camera system with surround view.
• Always check carefully the areas
around your vehicle, before
proceeding forward or backward. • Be sure to always check for any
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots.
• The driver must use the utmost
caution while using the system to
avoid damage to property or
personal injury.
• The camera system with surround
view is designed for use during the
day or under good lighting
conditions. Do not use and rely on
the system under poor lighting
conditions.
• Distance lines and directional lines
must be used only as a reference and
only when vehicle is on a flat
ground. The distance shown on
MTC+ display must be interpreted as
a reference and might be different
from the distance actually present
between the vehicle and any
displayed objects.
• Any obstacles present above the
cameras cannot be detected.

Exhaust Gas WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
liftgate open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide
entry into the
passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system. Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the Authorized Maserati
Dealer inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.
