• Active Blind Spot Assist
Activating this feature the system
will try to prevent collision between
host vehicle and potential blind
spot collision hazard. System applies
direct input to electric power
steering system to change direction
of vehicle to avoid collision.
The current system setting is shown
in blue on the right side of the
ABSA soft-key. Touching this
soft-key the set page of ABSA
system will be displayed (see
picture).

• Forward Collision Warning (with
active braking)
The FCW feature primarily uses the
front radar and forward looking
camera for sensing vehicles and
pedestrian (if the car is equipped
with Pedestrian Emergency Braking
- PEB function) ahead, and will
provide warnings to the driver and
may perform braking maneuvers.
The current system setting is shown
in blue on the right side of the FCW
soft-key.
Touching this soft-key the set page
of FCW system will be displayed (see
picture). FCW is always active: it is possible to
set the sensitivity and the aid of the
active braking.
FCW sensitivity can be set to
“Near”, to “Medium” or to “Far”.
The default status of FCW is the
“Medium” setting. Setting it to
“Far” means the system will warn
you of a possible collision with the
vehicle or pedestrian (if the car is
equipped with Pedestrian
Emergency Braking - PEB function)
in front of you when you are
farther away. This gives you the best
reaction time, though could lead to
some more unwanted warnings.
“Medium” gives instead a little less
time for reacting compared to
“Far”, but at the same time should
lead to less not desired warning.
To change the setting for more
dynamic driving, select the “Near”Dashboard Instruments and Controls

Transmission Manual Release of P
(Park) Position
See chapter “Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park) Position” in section
“In an Emergency”. All-Wheel Drive The active on-demand All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system provides available
optimum traction for a wide variety of
road and off-road surface and driving
conditions. The system minimizes
wheel slip by automatically redirecting
torque to the front and rear wheels as
necessary.
To maximize fuel economy, the AWD
system automatically disengages
torque distribution on front axle when
road and environmental conditions
are such that wheel slip is unlikely to
occur. When specific road and
environmental conditions require
increased levels of road traction, the
AWD system automatically distributes
the torque between front and rear
axle in order to grant the best driving
experience. Torque distribution is
displayed on the TFT in the “Drive
Mode” main menu. Refer to
paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and
Settings” in chapter “Instrument
Cluster” of section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for further
information. WARNING!
There may be a slight delay for AWD
engagement after a wheel slip
condition occurs.
NOTE:
If the A WD
system service warning
light and message appears after
engine start up, or during driving, it
means that the AWD system is not
functioning properly or is in recovery
mode due to overheating caused by
the excessive wheel spin. In this
condition the vehicle can continue
driving but only rear wheel drive is
working. If the warning light and
message are often activated, it is
recommended to have the vehicle
serviced at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .Driving
