In this ride height position driver can
set the “NORMAL” and “I.C.E. drive
modes. After the engine is switched
off, the drive mode is set to

mode was set, “NORMAL” mode will
be set, but the user-set ride height
will remain until the speed threshold
is reached.
• Off Road 1 : raises the vehicle by
approx. 1 in (25 mm).
This is the height suitable for most
off road driving conditions until the
other off road option is needed. This
ride height can set only in “OFF
ROAD” drive mode. Select this
height while the vehicle speed is
below 50 mph (80 km/h). When in
the “Off Road 1” height, if the
vehicle speed remains between
80 km/h (50 mph) and 56 mph
(90 km/h) for over 30 seconds or if
vehicle speed exceeds 56 mph
(90 km/h), the vehicle will be
automatically lowered to
“NORMAL” height. For further
details, refer to "Off-road Drive" in
this section.
• Off Road 2 : raises the vehicle by
approx. 1.5 in (40 mm).
This height is intended for off-road
use only where maximum ground
clearance is required. This ride height can be set only in “OFF

Select this height while the vehicle
speed is below 18 mph (30 km/h).
When in the “Off Road 2” height, if
the vehicle speed remains between
18 mph (30 km/h) and 25 mph (40
km/h) for over 30 seconds or if
vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph

0.8 in (20 mm).
This height provides improved
aerodynamics by lowering the
vehicle. This ride height is available
in “NORMAL”, “SPORT ”, “

remains between 62 mph (100 km/h)
and 56 mph (90 km/h) for over 15
seconds or if the vehicle speed falls
below 56 mph (90 km/h). The vehicle
will enter “Aero 1” height, regardless of vehicle speed if the
“SPORT” mode is set.
• Aero 2 : lowers the vehicle by approx.
1.4 in (35 mm).
It is the height ensuring excellent
aerodynamics for top performance
by further lowering the vehicle. This

• Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler.
WARNING!
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not
approach the filler with open flames
or cigarettes!
• To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious
fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
• Never have any smoking materials
lit in or near the vehicle when the
fuel filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most
fire-prevention regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light
to turn on (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank
capacity
is indicated in the
“Refillings” table in section
“Features and Specifications”.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle additional fuel supply until two
clicks. After the two additional clicks,
the amount of fuel allowed by the
system is very low, we recommend
therefore not to persist further.
• Wait approximately 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle in
order to ensure completed supply of
residual fuel and restrict the risk of
fouling the fuel filler door area.
• Remove the fuel nozzle.
• Insert the cap on the fuel filler neck.
• Tighten the cap, turning it clockwise
until it stops.
• Close the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,
do not “top off” the fuel tank after
filling.
Emergency Refueling Funnel
A
funnel is provided (in the trunk in
the tool box container) for emergency
refueling with a gas can. WARNING!
A fire may result if fuel is pumped
into a portable container that is inside
of a vehicle. You could be burned.
Always place gas containers outside
the vehicle while filling.Driving

Fuel Filler Cap Open Warning
Light After refueling the car
performs a check of the fuel
filler cap and the amber
warning light on the TFT
display comes on if it is not correctly
closed, after approximately 10 minutes
also depending on driving conditions.
If the problem is in the fuel system, the
Malfunction Indicator Light
also
comes on.
If the fuel filler cap is locked and the
issue remains in the system, at the next
engine start only the Malfunction
Indicator Light
comes on. In this
case, contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
