2019 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE fuel

will determine whether the enhanced
accident response system will have to
perform the following functions:
• cut off fuel to the engine;
• turn hazard lights and interior lights
on as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition switch is turned
off;
• unlock the doors automatically;
• disconnect the battery with a
pyrotechnic charge.
Air Bag Deployment Result
The advanced front air bags are
designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
If you do have a collision which
deploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
• The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags
deploy and unfold.
• As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of
the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag
inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning. Do not drive your vehicle
after the air bags have deployed. If
you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Air bag inflation releases a small
amount of powder. This powder is not
harmful to the environment.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) The lighting system uses the same
high or low intensity headlamps LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
front position lights.
DRL lights will turn on when the
twilight sensor is in “DAY” mode, the
engine is running and the light switch
is in
or “AUTO” position.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
LED on the same side of the vehicle
switches in position light function for
the duration of the turn signal
activation. Once the turn signal is
deactivated, the DRL LED will light up
again.
NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles DRL are always
on. On USA vehicles, the DRL lights
can be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
“Full-LED” Headlight with
Cornering Function These headlamps combine the
cornering function to the “Full-LED”
technology consisting of an additional
LED module which turns on when two
conditions occurs: the driver turns the steering wheel or the driver activates
the turn indicator. The cornering
function will illuminate the corner to
enhance the visibility to the driver as
long as speed will be lower than 25
mph (40 km/h).
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology creates headlights
with a simpler construction and a
more compact size compared to those
equipped with traditional or Xenon
light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption. These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light bulb
replacements and help limit fuel
consumption.
Automatic High Beam (for
versions/markets, where
provided) The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on
vehicles with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps
of proceding vehicles in the front
area. In these cases, the system
automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Furthermore, the digital camera is
able to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.Understanding the Vehicle

The right regulator has 2 different
positions:
0
(OFF) Stable position: front seat
lighting and front dome light
LED are turned off.
1 st
Dimmable position: allows
minimum to maximum
brightness tuning of the
front dome light LED and the
front seats lighting.
Dome Lights The front and rear part of the dome,
include each a central and two
reading lights.
The central light automatically turns
on when one of the doors is opened
and turns off when the door is closed
(timed switching off). The light may be
switched on manually by pressing the
central button.
The reading lights are controlled by
the respective side buttons.
If they are turned on by pressing the
button, both central and reading
lights will stay on for about 10
minutes after turning the engine off,
and will then turn off gradually.
When the exterior lights are switched
on, the two night LEDs fitted on the side of the power buttons on the
overhead console will light up to
facilitate the use of the transmission
lever and the central console.
If one or more doors are opened, the
front and rear dome lights will turn on
for 27 seconds. If the door is closed
before this time, the lights will dim
and subsequently switch off after
about 3 seconds. NOTE:
The dome lights will also turn on by
pressing the
or button for
centralized doors unlock and lock on
the key fob RKE transmitter. See
“Illuminated Entry/Exit” section
“Before Starting” for further
information.
In the event of a collision causing
automatic interruption of fuel supply,
the dome lights switch on
automatically and remain lit for
approx. 15 minutes.
NOTE:
The controls of the sunroof, of the
HomeLink and the button to switch
off Park Assist system can be found on
the front dome console.
Button to Switch off Passenger
Compartment Lights
In addition to specific switches to turn
on and off the front and rear side
dome lights as previously described,
on the front console there is a button
that allows to turn off and on all these
lights.Understanding the Vehicle

Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments Telltales on Speedometer
The following telltales are displayed
on the speedometer, and related
messages are visible for 5 seconds on
the central sector of the display, unless
otherwise indicated (see “TFT Display”
paragraph in this chapter).
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the ignition switch is in RUN position
and switch off soon after the engine is
started (the MIL does not shut off
immediately).
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lit or switches on while
driving, there is a failure in the fuel
supply/ignition and emission control
systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Should this occur, proceed with
caution to your Authorized Maserati
Dealer without heavy throttle
application or driving at high speeds.
Obey all applicable local traffic
regulations.
The indicator light will go out if the
problem is no longer present.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.
CAUTION!
• When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and if the indicator
light does not switch on or if it
switches on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required. In addition, the OBDII
system incorporates a diagnostic
connector that can be interfaced
using diagnostic equipment. This
