Starting with a Cold Engine
Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High-
performance driving should be
avoided until the engine temperature
reaches 149-158°F (65-70°C).
Engine Turn-Off • With the shift lever in P (Park), D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) positions (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section) and vehicle standstill, press
and release the START/STOP button
to switch off the engine. A burst on
the accelerator pedal before turning
off the engine has no purpose and
increases fuel consumption.
• If the shift lever is in N (Neutral) and
the START/STOP button is pressed
once, the instrument cluster will
display a “Vehicle Not in Park”
message and the engine will remain
running.
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P
(Park) position, as it could move. NOTE:
If
the ignition switch is left in the ACC
or RUN (engine not running) position
and the transmission is in P (Park), the
system will automatically time out
after 30 minutes of inactivity and the
ignition will switch to OFF position.
Engine Turn Off when in Automatic
Start&Stop
When the engine has been turned off
by the Start&Stop system, press and
release the START/STOP button. The
ignition switch will return to the OFF
position and the vehicle is off.
“Panic Stop” Strategy In panic conditions, if driver stops
engine in any non-standard manner
while driving at a speed over 2 mph
(3 km/h), the “Panic Stop” strategy can
manage the situation by checking
gearchange condition upon engine
cutting, driver’s action on brakes, road
condition (flat or slope) so as to set
gearchange to the most suitable
condition.
The “Panic Stop” strategy considers
that the driver should stop the engine
by pressing the ignition switch at least
3 times or holding it depressed for at
least 2 seconds.Automatic Start&Stop
System The Maserati Start&Stop system allows
the engine to automatically switch off
when the vehicle stops and to restart
when the driver intends to drive. This
feature can reduce fuel consumption
up to 6% according to different drive
conditions. During the “Stop
(AutoStop)” phase the ignition is still
on and all security features are
available.
In order for the Start&Stop to activate,
the vehicle must be stationary and the
brake pedal adequately pressed.
NOTE:
If the brake pedal is not sufficiently
pressed the Start&Stop may not
function even if the vehicle is stopped.
When the Start&Stop switches off the
engine, the related light
illuminates on the instrument
cluster.
As soon as the brake pedal is released,
the engine turns on.
While the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission can be placed in P (Park)
pressing the “P” button on the shift
lever.Driving

Once it is set in the menu bar, the new
menu will be immediately operational.
NOTE:
The yellow LED on the button
indicates the disabled status of
Start&Stop system and vice versa.
If the driving conditions allow it, the
user can re-enable the Start&Stop
function at any time using one of
previous ways.
NOTE:
After user intervention, the Start&Stop
system will automatically update the
status of the function in all contexts
where it can be modified.
Start&Stop System Failure When the indicator light and the
related message illuminate on the TFT
display (see chapter “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”) there is a
malfunction in the Start&Stop system
and the engine cannot be switched off
and restarted automatically. To switch
off or restart the engine it is necessary
to push the START/STOP . Have the
vehicle checked at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .Automatic Transmission The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled 8-speed
automatic transmission, which
automatically changes gear according
to the vehicle's instantaneous usage
parameters (vehicle speed, road
gradient and accelerator pedal
position).
It is possible to change gear manually
thanks to the “M +/-“ (Manual)
position for the shift lever.
The electronic shift lever replaces the
conventional mechanical lever and has
no mechanical connection to the
transmission. The transmission is
operated by electrical actuators on the
hydraulic system and all commands to
the control system are transmitted by
the CAN network. The lever itself
represents a mere user interface. Gear
positions are simulated by solenoids
inside the lever body, which are
computer-controlled and enable or
disable certain positions of the lever.
The solenoids inside the shift lever
prevent the movement of the lever
towards invalid positions.
The electronically-controlled
transmission provides a precise shift
schedule. The transmission electronics
are self-calibrating, therefore the gearshift behaviour could become
perfect as expected after few
hundreds of miles.
CAUTION!
In order to properly use the automatic
transmission, it is essential that you
read through the whole chapter, so
that you can understand right from
the start what the correct and granted
operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• Shift into P (Park) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop:
this is the default position of the
lever. After engaged P (Park) it is
possible set the ignition switch to
OFF .
• Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop and the engine is at
idle speed.
• Do not shift between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
when the engine is above idle speed
• To effect any change from vehicle
stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1 st
