accelerator pedal (see “ACC
Operation Before and During Stop”
in this chapter).
• The ACC system maintains set speed
when driving up hill and down hill.
However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. In addition,
downshifting may occur while
climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation
and necessary to maintain set speed.
When driving uphill and downhill,
the ACC system will cancel if the
braking temperature exceeds normal
range.
Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the multifunction control (CANC), or
normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will temporarily deactivate
the ACC without erasing the set speed
memory. The
white light will appear
on the display with below the set
speed.
Conditions for Disabling and
Deactivation Besides the cases specified in the
previous paragraph, the following
conditions will disable the system:
• Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) kicks in. • Transmission lever is not in D (Drive).
• “CORSA” drive mode (TROFEO
version only) is set.
• Ride height is set to “Off Road 1” or
“Off Road 2”.
• The Electronic Stability Control and
the Traction Control System
(ESC/TCS) activate.
• Vehicle parking brake is operated.
• The driver safety belt is unbuckled at
low speed.
• The driver door is ajar at low speed.
• The driver disabled the ESC using the
(ESC OFF) button on central
console.
• The road is too steep both uphill and
downhill at low speed.
The system is deactivated and set
speed is deleted from system memory,
if the ACC ON/OFF button is pressed or
if ignition device is turned to OFF .
Resuming Speed If a speed setting is stored in system
memory, press the multifunction
control (RES +) up and take foot off
the accelerator pedal. The last set
speed will be displayed. WARNING!
The resume function should be used
only when road and traffic conditions
allow it. Resuming a too high or too
low speed for current traffic and road
conditions could cause a harsh vehicle
acceleration or deceleration which
could increase the risk of collisions
and death or serious injury.
Setting the ACC Gap The specified ACC gap can be set by
varying the distance setting among
the four possible options identified by
the number of horizontal bars:
• Maximum (longest) distance: 4 bars.
• Long distance: 3 bars (default
distance).
• Medium distance: 2 bars.
• Short distance: 1 bar.
Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets
the gap to the vehicle ahead.
If system does not detect the presence
of any vehicles ahead, only the bars
referred to set distance will be
displayed.
When system detects the presence of a
vehicle ahead, it is displayed in front
of the bars (see example in the figure).Driving

with proper maintenance. Have the
exhaust system inspected every time
the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle Refueling Fuel Filler Neck Access To access the fuel filler neck, the filler
door must be unlocked. From outside
the vehicle, this can only be done by
pressing the unlock
or the lock
button on the key fob RKE
transmitter, in the same way as if
opening or closing the doors. If any of
the door lock controls is pressed from
inside the vehicle, the filler door will
still remain open to allow refueling.
• Press the indicated area on the filler
door, which is located on the rear left
side of the vehicle: the filler door will
open completely.
Refill the Tank The fuel filler neck is provided with
external cap. • Rotate counterclockwise and remove
the fuel filler cap. The cap hermetic
seal may result in a slight pressure
increase inside the tank. Any hissing
noise while the cap is being opened
is therefore completely normal. The
cap is linked to the filler neck with a
strap, to prevent it from being lost
while refueling.
• When refueling, place the cap in the
proper seat on the filler door hinge.Driving
5
336
• 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
5
337
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 .
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob RKE
transmitter, use the fuel filler door
emergency release located in the
trunk.
• Open the power liftgate (see “Power
Liftgate Operation” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Lift the access cover on the left side
of the trunk. • Pull the release cable moderately to
avoid its possible break. It's not
possible to feel or hear the unlocking
of the fuel filler door actuator.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door.Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to have
the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent themDriving

To Reconnect the Battery CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using one
more time the Key fob RKE
Transmitter.
• Close manually the liftgate unlock it
lid with the key fob RKE transmitter
and then lock it manually on more time. If the vehicle is equipped with
power liftgate, manually perform
the complete closure. Then move the
lid automatically, using the buttons
on the outer edge of the left trunk,
performing a complete cycle of
opening and closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and
pressing the “AUTO” control as
described in chapter “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position.
• If the car is equipped with power
sunshades on rear door windows, carry out the teach mode cycle
described on chapter “Power
Sunshades on Rear Door Windows”
in section “Before Starting”.
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is
reconnected the warning light
flash for about 10 seconds and then
go off.
