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

(Reverse) position.
Choose the most suitable setting for
the situation and the maneuver you
are performing or going to perform,
by touching the relevant button
present under the images: the edges
of the pressed button will highlight.
The button will highlight and the type
of setting will appear on each image.
In the top view, the vehicle is
represented as it is during the
maneuver (see example in the figure),
therefore any open doors will be
visible in the image.
To display also the dynamic lines of the
area you are setting, it is necessary to
set this function by accessing the
“Settings” menu on MTC+, at “Safety
& Driving Assistant” item, by using the
dynamic gridlines action menu. Once
this menu is displayed, it is also possible to set the function that delays
the exit from this screen in special
situations when the transmission lever
is in D (Drive), N (Neutral) and P (Park)
position by using the surround view
camera delay menu. For further
information, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
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.
CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, the camera
system with surround view should
only be used as a parking aid, as theBefore Starting

Dealer .
WARNING!
Certain components of this vehicle
such as air bag modules, seat belt
pretensioners, adaptive steering
columns, and button cell batteries
may contain Perchlorate material.
Special handling may apply for service
or vehicle end of life disposal. See

perchlorate.
Defroster
Check
operation by selecting
the
defrost mode and place the fan system
on high speed (see “Air Conditioning
Controls” chapter in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
You should be able to feel the air
directed against the windshield and
front side windows. Contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your
vehicle.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor
mats included in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the size of the pedal area and interfere
with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
Tires
•
Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.Before Starting

• Check the tires (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapter in section
“Features and Specifications”) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you operate
the controls (see “Lights” chapter in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (see “Instrument Cluster”
chapter in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
Door Latches
• Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking of doors and liftgate (see
“Unlock the Vehicle with Key fob”
chapter in this section).
Fluid Leaks
• Check area under vehicle after
overnight parking for recent fluid
leaks (oil, fuel, etc.).
• If gasoline fumes are detected or
fluid leaks are suspected, contact the
