When pressing the phone button
an audible sound will invite you to
impart a command.
Information on incoming call is
indicated in a pop-up on instrument
cluster display main area if this feature
is checkmarked on MTC+ (see “MTC+
Settings” in this section). Said
information will stay displayed until a
control is executed (e.g.: answer,
reject, etc.) for the incoming call.
The screen will only display the phone
number or name of caller (if available)
as long as this complies with system
specifications in terms of font and
number of characters.
Call details can be displayed at any
time through “Audio” submenu item,
then “Phone: call details” using the
buttons on steering wheel RH side. On
display, said details shall temporarily
replace the ones on media source in
use. Voice Commands By using voice commands, after
pressing the VR

paired to the vehicle via Bluetooth ®
,
a long press of the VR
button
activates the Siri Smart Personal

perform the following procedure
preferably at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park), if
possible.
• Turn the engine off.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds.
• Restart the engine.
• Shift the transmission into D (Drive)
and then into the desired gear
range. If the problem is no longer
detected, the transmission will
return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset,
we recommend that you visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer at your
earliest possible convenience, which
has diagnostic equipment to
determine if the problem could recur.
Transmission Manual Release of P
(Park) Position
See chapter “Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park) Position” in section
“In an Emergency”. All-Wheel Drive The active on-demand All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system provides available
optimum traction for a wide variety of
road and off-road surface and driving
conditions. The system minimizes
wheel slip by automatically redirecting
torque to the front and rear wheels as
necessary.
To maximize fuel economy, the AWD
system automatically disengages
torque distribution on front axle when
road and environmental conditions
are such that wheel slip is unlikely to
occur. When specific road and
environmental conditions require
increased levels of road traction, the
AWD system automatically distributes
the torque between front and rear
axle in order to grant the best driving
experience. Torque distribution is
displayed on the TFT in the “Drive
Mode” main menu. Refer to
paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and
Settings” in chapter “Instrument
Cluster” of section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for further
information. WARNING!
There may be a slight delay for AWD
engagement after a wheel slip
condition occurs.
NOTE:
If the A WD
system service warning
light and message appears after
engine start up, or during driving, it
means that the AWD system is not
functioning properly or is in recovery
mode due to overheating caused by
the excessive wheel spin. In this
condition the vehicle can continue
driving but only rear wheel drive is
working. If the warning light and
message are often activated, it is
recommended to have the vehicle
serviced at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .Driving

Drive Mode Controls Preview Drive modes and ride heights to use
with the vehicle on and off road can
be set using the buttons and vehicle
height selector on central console.
CAUTION!
“NORMAL” is the default drive mode,
optimized for the best balance
between performance, fuel
consumption and emissions in the
standard conditions use of the car. Buttons on the central console have
following
functions:
• (ESC OFF): to exclude/reactivate
the ESC system.
• OFF ROAD: to activate/deactivate the
specific driving mode for off road
conditions (uphill/downhill,
cobblestone, mud, grass and sand). In
this mode, the vehicle has a specific
ESC/ASR calibration and shock
absorbers skyhook damping curve.
Activating this drive mode, will also
change the EPS setting. When in
"OFF ROAD" drive mode, hard
suspension can not be set through
the button on the central console.
• I.C.E: to activate/deactivate the drive
mode to ensure increased control on
slippery surfaces as well as higher
energy efficiency. TROFEO Version onlyDriving

• SPORT (NOT for TROFEO version): to
activate/deactivate a sportier drive
mode. In this mode, the vehicle has a
faster throttle response and ESC
sport calibration (not recommended
on wet/slippery surfaces). Activating
this drive mode, will also change the
EPS setting.
• SPORT and CORSA (TROFEO version
only): to activate/deactivate the
sportier and the race drive mode.
When in "SPORT" drive mode, the
vehicle has a faster throttle response
and ESC sport calibration (not
recommended on wet/slippery
surfaces). Activating this drive mode,
will also change the EPS setting.
When in "CORSA" drive mode, in
addition to what indicated for the
sposts mode, the transmission use a
specific gear shift pattern and the
traction is shifted more on the rear
wheels with increased oversteering
behavior. Traction control with
dedicated calibration to maximize
traction vs stability and "Launch

•
(Suspension): to switch between
the two suspension setting modes:
soft (LED light off) and hard ("S" on
the cluster and LED light on).
By selecting one of these drive modes,
the yellow or white LED on the button illuminates and, for some of these, the
vehicle configuration obtained is
graphically displayed on instrument
cluster. The same screen is also
obtained when selecting the “Drive
