NOTE:
The displayed warning is a warning
for the driver to take action and does
not necessarily mean that the Forward
Collision Warning (FCW) system is
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid When driving with ACC engaged and
following a target vehicle, the system
will provide an additional acceleration
to assist in passing vehicles in front.
This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal to start overtaking. In
locations with left hand drive traffic,
overtake aid is active only when
passing on the left hand side of the
target vehicle.
When a vehicle goes from a location
with left hand drive traffic to a
location with right hand drive traffic,
the ACC system will automatically
detect traffic direction. In this
condition, overtake aid is active only
when passing on the right side of the
target vehicle. This additional
acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilizes the right turn signal to
start overtaking. In this condition the
ACC system will no longer provide
overtake aid on the left side until it determines that the vehicle has moved
back to a location with left hand
drive.
ACC Operation Before and
During Stop If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, after two or
three seconds the system will not be
able to resume driving the car
autonomously. In this condition, TFT
displays an instruction message pop
up for 5 seconds.
When the ACC system brings the
vehicle to a standstill while following
a target vehicle, the brakes are
released after two or three seconds
after the stop and at the same time
the system inserts the parking brake.
When parking brake engages the ACC
deactivates going to ready state.
At this point the driver must reengage
the system acting on the multifunction
control (RES + or SET -) or alternatively
on the accelerator pedal. While ACC
with Stop is holding your vehicle at a
standstill, if the driver unbuckles the
seatbelt or opens the door, the ESC
system will activate the EPB. During
standstill, ACC system monitors the
occupant detection signals: if the
driver's seatbelt becomes unbuckled, the ACC system shall be cancelled
when the EPB is applied.
WARNING!
• When the ACC system is resumed,
the driver must ensure that there
are no pedestrians, vehicles or
objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
• During the automatic stopping
behind a vehicle in some rare cases
it may happen that the system does
not recognize the rearmost point of
the vehicle ahead but a target under
the vehicle ahead (e.g. the back axis
of a truck with a high loading edge
or a bumper of a vehicle although
overhanging load is hanging over
the vehicle’s rear). In these cases the
system cannot guarantee the
appropriate stopping distance
leading to collision in the worst
case. For this reason the driver has
to be attentive and ready to brake
during automatic stops.Driving

Display Warnings and
Maintenance of ACC and FCW
Systems Wipe Front Radar Sensor Warning
This warning will display and also a
chime will indicate when conditions
temporarily limit system performance
due to sensor poor or failed signal
reception. This most often occurs at
times of poor visibility, such as in snow
or heavy rain. The ACC and FCW
systems may also become temporarily
blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt or ice on the radar sensor. In
these cases, the system will be
disabled.
This message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly
reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with
reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The
ACC and FCW systems will recover
operation after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions,
when the radar is not tracking any
vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor,
the driver should examine the sensor.
It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located in
the center of the front grille, behind
the Maserati trident. To keep the ACC System operating
properly, it is important to note the
following maintenance items:
• Always keep the sensor clean.
Carefully wipe the sensor lens with a
soft cloth. Be cautious not to damage
it.
• Do not remove any screws from the
sensor. Doing so could cause an ACC
system malfunction or failure and
require a sensor realignment.
• If the sensor or front end of the
vehicle is damaged due to a collision,
see your authorized dealer for
service.
• Do not attach or install any
accessories near the sensor, including
transparent material or aftermarket
grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC
system failure or malfunction. When
the condition that deactivated the
system is no longer present, the
system will return to the “Adaptive
Cruise Control Off” state and will
resume function by simply
reactivating it. NOTE:
If the radar sensor wipe warning
message occurs frequently (e.g. more
than once on every trip) without any
snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction,
have the radar sensor realigned at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Clean Front Windshield Warning
The warning will display and a signal
will indicate when conditions
temporarily limit system performance
due to failed signal reception. This
most often occurs at times of poor
visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain
and fog. The ACC and FCW systems
may also become temporarily blinded
due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt,
or ice on windshield and fog on the
inside of glass or when driving in bad
weather. In these cases, the system will
have degraded performance.
The ACC and FCW systems will recover
operation after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions,
when the camera is not tracking any
vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor,
the driver should examine the
windshield and the camera. They may
require cleaning or removal of an
obstruction.Driving

• The BSA system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, or
animals.
• Even if your vehicle is equipped with
the BSA system, always check your
vehicle’s outside and rearview
mirrors for any vehicles approaching
from behind or overtaking.
• Use your turn signal before changing
lanes.
RCP - Rear Cross Path The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when gear
in reverse of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on either
side of the rear bumper, it detects any
vehicles or objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 1 to
2 mph (1 km/h to 3 km/h) to a
maximum of approximately 10 mph
(16 km/h), such as in parking lot
situations. NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming
vehicles can be obscured by vehicles
parked on either side. If the sensors
are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to
alert the driver.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an
oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP
system will alert the driver using both
the visual and audible alarms. If the
radio is on, it will also reduce the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More specifically, it is intended to be used to
help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing
up, even when using RCP. 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. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
BSA and RCP Setting Setting modes can be selected from
the MTC+ System.
Touch “Controls” soft-key and then
“Blind Spot Assist” soft-key to enter
the setting page.

BSA in Visual Mode
When operating in “Visual” mode, the
BSA system will provide a visual alert
in the appropriate side view mirror
when it detects a vehicle or an object
in the detection areas monitored by its
sensors: depending on the status of
the relative turn indicator, the
warning light can be fixed or flashing.
However, when the system is
operating in RCP mode, it will respond
with both visual and audible alerts
when an oncoming vehicle or an
object approaching the rear end side
of the vehicle is detected.
Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted (if the
radio is on).
BSA in Visual and Acoustic Mode
When operating in “Visual & Acoustic”
mode, the BSA system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected
vehicle or object. If the turn signal is then activated, and
it corresponds to an alert present on
that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded: in the
same moment the warning light will
start flashing.
Whenever a turn signal and detected
vehicle or object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio volume will be reduced (if the
radio is on).
NOTE:
If the hazard flashers are on, the BSA
system will issue the appropriate visual
alert only.
When the system is in RCP mode, the
system shall respond with both visual
and audible alerts when a detected
vehicle or object is present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
(if on) is also muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
Blind Spot Assist Off
When this function is turned off from
the MTC+, there will be no visual or
audible alerts from either the BSA or
RCP subsystems.
NOTE:
The BSA system will store the current
operating mode when the vehicle is
shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started, the previously-stored mode
will be recalled and used.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message “Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable” when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside
rear-view mirrors will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone.Driving

When ABSA is turned off from MTC+
"Controls" page, there will be no
visual or audible alerts from RCP
subsystem.
When ABSA is turned on with any
setting,RCP subsystem shall respond
with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected vehicle or object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio (if on) is also
muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
System Temporarily
Unavailable The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message “Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable” when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside
rear-view mirrors will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone.
System in Fault The ABSA system cannot properly
operate either due to a fault of its
components, or because the area on windshield where the forward-facing
camera is located or on the rear
bumper fascia where the radar sensors
are located is dirty. In these cases the
amber warning light and the related
message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
In these cases do not use the system
and have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .

www.maserati.com.Highway Assist – HAS
(optional, with ACC only) The Highway Assist (HAS) is a level 2
Autonomy system (in reference to
NHTSA standards) that is designed to
aid the driver in the steering,
acceleration, and braking functions of
the vehicle.
HAS is designed to only function on
highways or limited access freeways.
HAS centers the vehicle by controlling
the EPS system based off of lane line
information from the forward-facing
camera and data from the front radar
sensor.
HAS combines ACC and LKA to
manage the steering and speed of the
vehicle under specific conditions. The
conditions to engage HAS are listed in
the next paragraph. If a lane line cross
is imminent, the steering wheel willDriving

start automatically.
• If the ACC target speed is set under
the maximum speed, HAS is active
and vehicle speed increases above
the maximum speed due to slope,
HAS will continue to function.
HAS Monitoring on Instrument
Cluster HAS and the other ADAS systems
conditions can be monitored on
instrument cluster display by accessing
the “Driver Assist” page with the
buttons on the steering wheel (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The
symbol in grey indicates that
the HAS system is active, but not
engaged and is shown at the centre of
the TFT display when the “Driver
Assist” page is displayed. When
exiting the "Driver Assist" page, on
TFT display top left corner, the
grey symbol will appear in the
multiple light of active ADAS systems. In addition to these symbols, on the
TFT top and bottom edge a coloured
