Instrument Cluster The instrument cluster is divided into
three main areas displaying
information, signs and text and/or icon
messages.
A Analogue speedometer. It
indicates the vehicle speed.
B Rev Counter.
C TFT display. In this area the
odometer display shows the
total distance covered by the
vehicle.
U.S. Federal Regulations requires that
upon transfer of vehicle ownership,
the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has
been driven.
If your odometer needs to be repaired
or serviced, the repair technician
should leave the odometer reading the
same as it was before the repair or
service. This repair should be
performed by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The odometer setting should be
maintained following the repair or
service.
Keep a record of the odometer
mileage before any repair or service to ensure that the odometer is properly
reset.
Speedometer and Rev Counter display
the main warning lights (see “Warning
and Indicator Lights on Analogue
Instruments” in this chapter).
The other warning and indicator lights
are displayed on the TFT display
together with mode and drive
function indicators (see “TFT Display: Warning/Indicator Lights of Set
Modes/Functions” in this chapter).

Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments Telltales on Speedometer
The following telltales are displayed
on the speedometer, and related
messages are visible for 5 seconds on
the central sector of the display, unless
otherwise indicated (see “TFT Display:
Warning/Indicator Lights of Set
Modes/Functions” paragraph in this
chapter).
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the ignition switch is in RUN position and switch off soon after the engine is
started (the MIL does not shut off
immediately).
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains illuminated or switches on
while driving, there is a failure in the
fuel supply/ignition and emission
control systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Should this occur, proceed with
caution to your Authorized Maserati
Dealer without heavy throttle
application or driving at high speeds.
Obey all applicable local traffic
regulations.
The indicator light will go out if the
problem is no longer present.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.
CAUTION!
• When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and if the indicator
light does not switch on or if it
switches on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon
as possible. • Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required. In addition, the OBDII
system incorporates a diagnostic
connector that can be interfaced
using diagnostic equipment. This
makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the control unit,
together with a set of specific
parameters for the engine operation
diagnostic cycle, for compliance with
CARB & EPA OBDII regulations.
Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The
indicator lights up when
the left turn signals or the
hazard flashers are turned on.
The indicator light will flash at
the same frequency of the turn signals
and is controlled by the multifunction
lever behind the steering wheel.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will alert the driver
to turn the signal off.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
This warning light is connected
to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Under normal conditions, the
warning light should illuminate when
the ignition switch is in RUN and
should go off once the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressure
of one or more tires is too low and a
message will be displayed.
The TPMS malfunction warning light is
connected to the low tire pressure
monitoring light.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the monitoring light and
the related message will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain lit.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle startups as long as
the malfunction lasts.
When the malfunction warning lights
up, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure
correctly. Please refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in section
“Driving” for further information.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Malfunction Warning Light
This light, and its related
message, indicate possible
malfunctions of the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS).
The light will turn on when the
ignition switch is in RUN position and
may stay on for 4 seconds. If the ABS
light remains lit or turns on while
driving, the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and
requires service. However, the
conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the
warning light is switched off. If
the ABS light turns on while driving, or
if it does not switch on when the
ignition switch is in RUN position,
please visit an Authorized Maserati
Dealer as soon as possible to restore
the Anti-Lock brake function.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The ESC activation/malfunction
indicator light on the
instrument cluster will display
when the ignition switch is in
RUN position. It should switch off by starting the
engine.
If the light stays on with the engine
running, there is a malfunction in the
ESC system.
If the light still stays on after several
ignition cycles, and the vehicle has
been driven for several miles at more
than 30 mph (48 km/h) speed, visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem
diagnosed and serviced.
NOTE:
Each time the ignition switch is in RUN :
• The ESC OFF indicator light
and
the ESC activation/malfunction
indicator light illuminates
temporarily.
• When the ESC is functioning, the
system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds. This is normal. The sounds
will stop once ESC becomes inactive
and the road conditions that caused
the ESC activation no longer persist.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light
This indicator notifies that the
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is disabled (OFF); the
linked message will be
displayed.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.
Brake Indicator Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level, brake pads
wear and parking brake
engagement.
If the brake light illuminates the
parking brake may be engaged, the
brake pads have reached wear limit,
the brake fluid level may be low or a
problem with the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) reservoir may have
occurred.
In all the above situations, a related
message will be displayed.
If the light still illuminates when the
parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark
on the master cylinder reservoir, there
could be a brake hydraulic system malfunction or a problem with the
brake booster detected by the
ABS/ESC system. If this occurs, the light
will remain lit until the problem has
been solved.
If the problem concerns the brake
booster, the ABS master cylinder will
run when engaging the brake and a
brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop of the vehicle.
Inefficiency of one of the dual brake
system cycles is indicated by the brake
indicator light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
certain level.
The light will remain lit until the
problem has been solved.
If a brake failure occurs, visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible in order to check up the
brake system.
In the event of an Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD) failure, both
the brake indicator light and the ABS
light illuminate.
Immediate repair of the ABS system is
required.
Functioning of the brake indicator
light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from OFF to RUN
position.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

fault is detected. If the light does not
illuminate, have the light system
repaired by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The light will also switch on when the
parking brake is engaged with the
ignition switch in RUN position.
This light only indicates the brake is
engaged but not the clamping force of
the parking brake to the wheels.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on can be very dangerous and is
not recommended. Part of the brake
system may have failed, resulting in
increased braking distances and the
risk of an accident. Have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Air Bag Indicator Light
This
light will illuminate
for a
few seconds for a bulb check
when the ignition switch is in

This indicator lights up
when
the right turn signals or the
hazard flashers are switched
on.
The indicator will flash at the same
frequency of the turn signals and is
controlled by the turn signal lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile (1.6
km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will advise the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.
