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:

vehicleWarnings when Driving Your driving skills will improve with
experience, but be especially careful at
the beginning. Always comply with
local traffic regulations wherever you
drive.
This vehicle is also suitable for off-road
use, using the dedicated controls and
functions to obtain the optimum
balance to safely face the situations
that this kind of route may pose.
We recommend you to start gradually
in order to acquire the necessary
expertise and the perfect control of
the vehicle. Follow the indications
contained in chapter "Off-road Drive"
in section “Driving” for information
concerning the off-road use of the
vehicle.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or a
collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive
speed or in an altered state or while
intoxicated may result in loss of
control, going off the road, or
overturning. In all these situations a
collision with other vehicles or objects
is more likely to happen with the risk
to cause an accident that may lead to
serious injury.Introduction

reaching the set threshold an acoustic
signal will be heard.
If the warning light switches on while
driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it
off. Also, shift the transmission into N
(Neutral) and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature does not return to
normal, immediately turn the engine
off and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer . Check “Engine Overheating” in
section “In an Emergency” for more
information.
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
Under normal conditions, the
warning light illuminates
when the ignition device is
turned to RUN and goes off as
soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light stays or turns on
while driving, the engine oil pressure is too low. The warning light is
combined with a displayed message
and an acoustic signal that will last 4
minutes. In this case, turn the engine
off immediately and carry out the
necessary checks.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
problem has been corrected. This light
does not indicate the oil level. The
engine oil level must be checked with
the dipstick located under the hood
(see “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Engine Oil Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that the
engine oil is overheated. The
warning light is combined
with the related displayed
message. In this case, drive carefully
until the temperature drops back to
normal level and the light warning
light turns off.
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Low Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This warning light and the
related displayed message,
indicate a low engine oil level.

remain in “AutoStop” with engine off.
Pressing the brake pedal and shifting
transmission into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse) will deactivate the
“AutoStop” condition and restart the
engine.
Start&Stop Deactivated Start&Stop function is deactivated
under the following conditions:
• When SPORT drive mode is activated.
• When
(ESC OFF) drive mode is
activated.
• When ride height is set to Off Road 1
or Off Road 2.
• If it has been disabled through the
main menu item “Start & Stop” via
the controls on the right side of the
steering wheel (see chapter
“Instrument cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”) or via the MTC+ in the “Controls” page (see “MTC+
"Controls" Screen” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
Start&Stop Not Active For keeping driving safety, interior
comfort and a correct functioning of
engine and vehicle, the Start&Stop
function does not activate under the
following conditions:
• When the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled (see example in picture).
• When the driver door is open.
• When the fuel level is too low.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a
very steep road.
• When the vehicle is stopped with
steered wheels (over 135° of steering
wheel angle for each part). • When the vehicle is maneuvering:
shift lever in R (Reverse).
• When the temperature conditions
inside the vehicle do not correspond
to the air conditioning setting.
• When the front and rear “defroster”
function is activated.
• When the engine coolant and the
engine oil temperature are not on
proper functioning level.
• When the external temperature is
too cold.
• When the battery charge is below
safety value.
• When the previous stop had just
happened (few seconds) and the
minimum speed has not yet been
achieved.
• Shortly after R (Reverse) has been set
or when driving under a certain
speed level.
• When the hood is open.
• The sensors managing the
Start&Stop have been damaged.
• Start&Stop system faults are present.
• When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
and/or Highway Assist (HAS) system
are engaged.Driving

The indicator beside the displayed
gear will light up just before reaching
the required speed to change
downshift or upshift (example in the
figures).
When the new gear is engaged, the
indicator turns off. If the shift runs late
or is not performed at all, the indicator
remains lit for a few seconds then
turns off. As soon as new conditions
requiring further gear change occur, the indicator light will illuminate
again.
NOTE:
The gearshift indicator will only work
when the transmission is set in M +/-
(Manual) mode.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions Transmission Emergency Control
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, “Transmission Limp Home
Mode” will be activated. In this
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all. In some situations, the
transmission system may not
re-engage if the engine is turned off
and restarted.
A message in the instrument cluster
will inform the driver about the more
serious transmission conditions, and
indicate what actions may be
necessary.
Transmission Oil Overtemperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, the red warning light
illuminates on the
instrument cluster.
In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level
(the light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend
to stop the vehicle, shift the lever to
position P (Park) or N (Neutral) and
keep the engine idle until the
temperature red warning light
turns off and the message
disappears from the display. Resume
driving without demanding high
engine performance. If the red
warning light
and the related
message turns on again, it is advisable
to stop the vehicle, turn off the engine
and wait for the engine/transmission
assembly to fully cool down.
If the instrument cluster message
indicates that the transmission may
not re-engage after engine shutdown,Driving
