two vents on the upper part of the
dashboard and two positioned at
the rear end of the central console.
Each of these vents can be singly
adjusted. The air grids or vanes of
the vents can be moved to adjust air
flow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate or close the airflow.
• “Bi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and the fixed floor
vents. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed to let cooler
air come in the dashboard and rear
part of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
• “Defrost” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging.
• “Mix” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
defrost/demist vent, the vent under
the dashboard and from floor vent. This mode is recommended for cold
climates, to improve comfort and
prevent windows fogging.
• “Hi-Level” mode

Normal Starting of the
Engine WARNING!
It is dangerous to run the engine in an
enclosed area. The engine consumes
oxygen and discharges carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other
toxic gases in the atmosphere.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
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: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
When doors are opened, the
instrument
cluster displays
the
Maserati Logo in the center and the
complete odometer plus the open
doors indicator
in the lower part of
the cluster.
Before starting the engine, close the
doors, adjust your seat, the inside and
outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt
and instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position before you can start
the engine. Apply the brakes before
shifting into any driving gear (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section). CAUTION!
• Before starting the engine, switch off
the electrical devices with a high
power consumption (air-conditioning
and heating system, heated rear
window, headlights, etc.).
• Do not start the engine if the fuel
level in the tank is low.
The keyless ignition allows the driver
to
operate the
ignition switch by
pushing the center button, as long as
the key fob RKE transmitter is within
the passenger compartment (check
“Keys” in section “Before Starting” for
further information).
By pressing the brake pedal and
pushing the START/STOP button the
engine starts. Instrument cluster
displays the initial sequence with
indicator light and analog instruments
test routine and switch-on of the
engine temperature indicators and
fuel level. This happens if option “On”
was set in screen settings for display
switch-on (see chapter “Instrument
cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).Driving

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
