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

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.
• To turn the wipers off rotate the
lever to “OFF”.Understanding the Vehicle

Headlight Washers (if provided)
The
multifunction lever also
operates
the headlight washers when the
ignition switch is in RUN position and
the headlights are turned on.
The headlight washers will spray a
timed high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto each headlight lens every 11
windshield wipers cycles.
Heated Windshield Washer Nozzles
(optional)
To avoid fluid freezing inside at low
external temperatures, a fluid supply
nozzles can be heated by internal
resistors.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer Use the switch on multifunction lever
as follows to turn on the rear window
wiper and/or washer:
• From the “OFF” position, turn
control forward to the first detent to
activate wiper intermittently;
• Turn control forward to the second
detent to activate wiper continuous
action;
• A further rotation forward (unstable
position) will trigger the rear
window washer until control is
released. After control release, the
rear window wiper will resume
continuous operation;
• From the “OFF” position, turn
control backward (unstable position)
to trigger rear window washer until
control is released: the rear window
wiper will perform several cycles. Once released, control will go back
to “OFF” position.
As a precaution, rear window washer
pump stops if control is held in active
position for over 20 seconds. When
control is released, pump will resume
normal operation.
If rear window wiper is still on, the
wiper arm will automatically go back
to rest position when the ignition
device is turned OFF .Understanding the Vehicle

Low Fuel Indicator
When the fuel level reaches
approximately 4.2 Gallons (16
liters) this light under the fuel
gauge indicator will turn on,
and remain on until fuel is added
together with the related message. In
this condition the color indicating the
quantity of fuel in the tank, inside the
indicator on display, will go from
white to amber.
Refer to “Refueling” in section
“Driving” for fuel filling.
Windshield and Headlights Washer
Low Fluid Indicator
This indicator will illuminate
for 5 seconds to indicate a low
level of the windshield and
headlights washer fluid. A
related message will be displayed.
See “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care” for
fluid filling.
Headlight Aiming System Failure
Warning Light
This warning light and the
related message indicate a
failure of the automatic
headlight aiming system (horizontal leveling, electromechanical
swiveling) or of the Advanced
Frontlighting System (AFS).
Please contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to check the system.

related message turn on while
driving if there is a failure of
the suspension system.
Please contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to check the system. Ice Hazard Indicator
When the external
temperature falls below 38°F
(3°C), the temperature value
blinks for a few seconds, the
indicator light turns on, a message is
displayed and an acoustic signal is
triggered to warn the driver of the
risk of icy roadbed.
Under such conditions, we recommend
using the I.C.E. drive mode (see
“Automatic Transmission” in section
“Driving”) drive carefully and slow
down as the grip of the tires may be
significantly reduced.
The indicator light flashes for 5
seconds and switches off when the
temperature reaches 43°F (6°C) or
higher.
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas cap) Open
Warning Light
After refueling the car
performs a check of the fuel
filler cap and this warning
light comes on if it is not
correctly closed, after approximately
10 minutes also depending on driving
conditions.

mineral type. Using mineral fluids
damages the special rubber linings of
the brake system irreparably.
WARNING!
• To avoid contamination from foreign
materials or moisture, use only new
brake fluid or fluid that has been in
a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap secured
at all times.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid.
Brake fluid can also damage painted
and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does
not spill over these surfaces.
• Do not allow petroleum based fluid
to contaminate the brake fluid.
Brake seal components could be
damaged.
Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The
reservoir on the
left side of the
engine compartment contains the fluid
to wash the windshield, the window
liftgate and headlights (if equipped).
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer fluid appears together with the
related telltale
add more fluid as
soon as possible.
Depending on the system installed in
the vehicle, the fluid reservoir may
contain nearly 5.3 Quarts (5 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid or
nearly 3.7 Quarts (3.5 liters) of washer
fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck. • Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to “Refillings”
in section “Features and
Specifications”) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out
the residual water.
• When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield/headlight washer system in
cold weather, select a solution or
mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate.

on most washer fluid containers.Maintenance and Care
