2019 MASERATI LEVANTE engine

the “Auto High Beam Assist” soft-key,
as shown in the previous paragraph
"Automatic High Beams".
The “Glare Free” feature will be
engaged after the following actions:
• Engine run.
• Feature enabled by MTC+.
• Low beam on.
• Interior light switch in position
“Auto”.
• Multifunction lever in “High beam”
activated position.
The “Glare Free” feature will work if:
• The vehicle speed is equal or greater
than 21.7 mph (35 km/h) in the
engagement phase of the feature.
• Environmental brightness is not
sufficient for a safe and comfortable
drive.
• Traffic scenario out of urban context.
Once the system will be active, there
will be two indicators on the
instrument cluster, showed in the same
time: one blue and one green.
The green indicator indicates that the
“Auto High Beam Assist” feature is
activated on MYC+; the blue indicator
indicates that all or only some high
beam LEDs are physically on in that
moment. When instead there is the needing to
switch off the whole high beam
module to obtain the no glaring
effect, on the instrument cluster there
will be just one indicator on: the green
one.
When the scenario allows the partial
or full use of high beam with no
glaring disturbance, the blue indicator
will appear again.
NOTE:
• Some unpredictable conditions, such
as dirt, dust, film or any other
obstruction on camera lens zone
events could affect “Glare Free”
feature making it working
improperly.
• Heavy rainy and foggy weather could
affect system performance, leaving
the full beam switched on for longer
time than the nominal working
condition. This could cause a glaring disturbance for other vehicles, to
avoid this the driver has to switch off
the high beam manually.
• In phase of disengagement of the
feature, the minimum operating
speed is 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
• “Glare Free” feature proper
operation is guaranteed if vehicle
speed is less than, or at least equal to
155 mph (250 km/h).
Automatic High Beams/Glare Free
High Beams Failure
In the event of a failure on high beam
system (Automatic or Glare Free
equipped, as well), the related amber
warning light will light up on the TFT
display.

• doors and steering wheel backlight
controls LED;
• front footrest light;
• front seats night lighting.
Automatic Headlights Leveling A correct headlights leveling is crucial
for the safety of the vehicle’s
occupants and of people in the street.
Moreover it is included in the road
regulation law.
In order to obtain the best visibility
conditions while driving with
headlights on, the headlight beam
must be properly leveled, under any
vehicle load condition.
The vehicle is equipped with a system
that automatically adjusts headlight
leveling according to ground clearance
and vehicle load conditions. Dome Lights The dome lights integrated into the
front dome console, include a central
and two reading lights.
The central light automatically turns
on when one of the doors is opened
and turns off when the door is closed
(timed switching off). The light may be
switched on manually by pressing the
central button.
The reading lights are controlled by
the respective side buttons.
If they are turned on by pressing the
button, both central and reading lights
will stay on for about 10 minutes after
turning the engine off, and will then
turn off gradually.
When the exterior lights are switched
on, the two night LEDs fitted on the
side of the power buttons on the
overhead console will light up toUnderstanding the Vehicle

Wipers and Washers The multifunction lever operates the
wipers and washers acting on the
windshield and on the window of the
liftgate when the ignition switch is
placed in RUN or ACC position. The
multifunction lever is located on the
left side of the steering column.
The windshield washer and headlight
washer (if equipped) share the same
fluid reservoir, and a low fluid level is
indicated by the same indicator light
and by the message on the
instrument cluster.
To refill the fluid, see “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”. CAUTION!
• Turn the washer acting on the
windshield and on the window of
the liftgate wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. The
windshield wipers may be damaged
if the wiper control is left in any
position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield and/or to
the window of the liftgate, the
wiper motor may be damaged when
the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the
wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off
position, the wiper motor may be
damaged.
Windshield Wipers • Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the four settings to
activate the automatic intermittent setting (see “Rain Sensing Wipers”
paragraph in this chapter).
• For low speed wiper operation
(stable position "LO"): rotate the
end of the multifunction control
lever forward to the first trigger
after the intermittent setting.
• Rotate to the second trigger after
the intermittent setting for
high-speed (stable position HI) wiper
operation.
• Rotate the end of the lever
backward to the “MIST” position to
activate a single wipe cycle. The
wipers will continue to operate until
you release the multifunction lever.

Rain Sensing Windshield
Wipers This feature detects moisture on the
windshield through an internal
rearview mirror integrated sensor,
which automatically activates the
relative wipers.
Rotate forward the end of the
multifunction lever to one of four
settings to adjust the detection system.
First wiper delay position is the least
sensitive, and fourth wiper delay
position is the most sensitive. Third
position should be used for normal
rain conditions.
The rain sense wipers will
automatically change between an
intermittent wipe, slow wipe and a
fast wipe depending on the amount of
detected moisture sensed by a
particular area of the windshield.
Place the wiper switch in the “OFF”
position when you do not want to use
the automatic intermittent system.
The rain sensing feature can be turned
on and off using the MTC+ System, see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information. CAUTION!
• The rain sensing feature may not
function properly by ice or dried salt
water on the windshield.
• Use on the windshield of RainX ®
or
products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
The rain sensing system has protective
features for the wiper
blades and
arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit : the
rain sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is in RUN position,
the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C). To resume, set the automatic
feature on the multifunction lever,
start the engine and drive or wait
until the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
• Wipe Inhibit with Transmission in
Neutral Position : the rain sensing
feature will not operate when the
ignition is placed in the RUN
position, the transmission shift lever
is in the N (Neutral) position and the
vehicle speed is less than 5 mph
(8 km/h). To resume, set the multifunction lever to the automatic
function or move the shift lever out
of N (Neutral).
Headlights On with Windshield
Wipers When activating this function, the
headlights will light up approximately
10 seconds after the wipers acting on
the windshield are turned on if the
light switch is placed in “AUTO”
position. In addition, the headlights
switch off when the wipers are turned
off (position “OFF”) if they were
previously turned by using this
function. Powering on Headlights with
wipers can be activated and
deactivated with the MTC+ System, see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
Wiper Blade Maintenance When the wiper arms acting on the
windshield are in the rest position it is
not possible to check or replace the
