CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, this indicates a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.
Onboard Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current local
regulations of various countries.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information, which your Authorized Maserati Dealer will use to
service your vehicle. Although the
vehicle will still be driveable and not
need towing, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer for service as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause further damage
to the emissions control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
• After the problem has been solved,
the Authorized Maserati Dealer
personnel will perform specific tests
for a complete check of the system
and, if necessary, road tests.Driving

Electronic Cruise Control The electronic Cruise Control (CC)
enables the driver to maintain the
desired vehicle speed without pressing
the accelerator pedal, reducing driving
fatigue on highways, especially long
trips, as the set speed is automatically
maintained. A firm press on the
accelerator pedal or the braking pedal
will temporarily deactivate the cruise
control function.
CAUTION!
The device can only be switched on at
speeds exceeding 18 mph (30 km/h)
and it switches off automatically when
the brake pedal or the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
WARNING!
The Cruise Control function must only
be activated when traffic and the
route permit a constant speed to be
maintained safely for a sufficiently
long distance. Controls The electronic Cruise Control controls
are located on the left side of the
steering wheel.
Control configuration depends on
which driver assist systems are installed
to the vehicle.
In the standard configuration there is
a specific button to enable and disable
the CC.
In the optional configuration, there is
no specific button to enable and
disable the CC, since the driver uses
the ACC control buttons. Control buttons have the following
functions:
Standard Configuration
ON/OFF button to
engage/disengage CC
system.
Optional Configuration
Press ACC Gap button and
hold it down for 2 seconds
to enable the CC system.
Press ACC button to disable
the CC system.Standard Configuration Optional ConfigurationDriving

The
green light below the desired
speed will illuminate on the
instrument cluster display. Release the accelerator and the vehicle
will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a
steady speed and on level ground
before pushing the switch downward.
Pressing the
“ON/OFF” button or
the ACC Gap button for 2 seconds (in
the Optional Configuration) or moving
the ignition switch in OFF position
erases the set speed memory.
Changing Speed Setting Pushing the multifunction switch
upward (RES +) or downward (SET -)
once, or by holding it down, will
enable to increase or decrease the set
speed by one unit (1 mph or 1 km/h). If
the car is equipped with ADAS
Systems, the single press of the
multifunction switch will increase or decrease the set speed of 1 mph or
1 km/h; a continuous pressure of the
same will increase or decrease the set
speed of 5 mph or 10 km/h.
Release the switch when the desired
speed is reached, and the new set
speed will be visualized below the
green light.
Each subsequent tap of the
multifunction switch will increase or
decrease the speed by 1 mph or
1 km/h.
Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pressing
the multifunction switch (CANC), or

Driver Override If the driver presses the accelerator
pedal while the CC is on, such as to
overtake another vehicle, and exceeds
the set speed limit, the system will
temporarily deactivate the CC. During
the event, the speed indication below
the
green light will be blinking.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the
set speed and the
green light with
below the set speed with steady light
will be displayed.
Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, push
upward the multifunction switch (RES
+) and release. The
green light
with below the set speed will
illuminate on the instrument cluster.
Resume can be used at any speed
above 18 mph (30 km/h). Using Electronic Cruise Control
on Hills The transmission may be downshifted
on hills to maintain the vehicle set
speed. The CC system maintains set
speed up and down hills. A slight
speed change on moderate hills is
normal. On steep slopes it is
recommended to drive without CC.
WARNING!
Electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Do not use
electronic Cruise Control in heavy
traffic or on winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery roads.Adaptive Cruise Control –
ACC (optional) ADAS Equipments The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is
part of ADAS equipments together
with:
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA)
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• Highway Assist (HAS)
• Traffic Sign Assist (TSA).
FCW is a standard equipment while
HAS and TSA are separate functions
that may not be present in the ADAS
equipment. For more details see
“Forward Collision Warning - FCW”,
“Highway Assist - HAS" and "Traffic
Sign Assist - TSA" in this section.
NOTE:
LKA and ABSA are described in the
relevant chapters of this section.
ACC Preview The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
further increases the drive comfort
ensured by the Cruise Control when
driving on highways and freeways.
Always consider that ACC is not aDriving
5
257
Page 262 of 396

safety system and is not designed to
prevent accidents.
The ACC allows driver to keep Cruise
Control active in limited or moderate
traffic conditions with no need to
constantly restore the Cruise Control.
The ACC uses a radar sensor, located
on the front grille behind the trident,
and the forward-facing camera behind
the internal rear-view mirror to detect
the presence of a vehicle ahead at a
close distance and moving in the same
direction.
This vehicle, in this chapter, will be
indicated as "target vehicle" or
"vehicle ahead".
NOTE:
• If the sensor detects no vehicle
ahead, the ACC system will maintain
set steady speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the ACC system automatically
kicks in by slightly accelerating or
braking (to avoid exceeding the
initially set speed) so that the vehicle
keeps present distance, trying to
adapt to the speed of the detected
vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
• The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is
designed to increase vehicle driving
comfort. It must not be considered
as a means of replacing the required
attention of the driver. The driver is
always required to drive carefully.
The driver is always required to pay
utmost attention to driving
conditions (road, traffic, weather)
and style (speed, distance from
sensed vehicle ahead, brake use).
Driver has the full responsibility of
the vehicle therefore his attention is
crucial to keeping vehicle control, in
particular when approaching curves
and situations with heavy traffic.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
• In some driving scenarios, the ACC
could have detection problems. In
such cases, the ACC could kick in late or unexpectedly. The driver must be
careful since his/her intervention
could be necessary.
• It is always the driver’s responsibility
to obey speed limits and to keep
minimum legal distance to the
preceding vehicle.
• ACC system can decelerate only with
limited braking, it cannot execute
emergency braking.
The ACC system:
•
Does not activate/react in the
presence of pedestrians, bicycles,
incoming traffic from the opposite
direction and steady objects such as a
vehicle stuck in a traffic jam.
• Is meant for the use on highways and
well-built roads, not for city traffic or
mountain roads.
• May not have enough time to react
and/or decelerate sufficiently on
vehicles when lane is changed too
quickly or the relative speed is too
high. In such cases the driver has to
react appropriately and without any
acoustic/visual and warning.
• Cannot consider road, traffic and
weather conditions and might prove
limited when visibility is poor.
• Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions and thisDriving
5
258
Page 263 of 396

could cause an incorrect assessment
of the required safety distance.
It is recommended to disable the ACC
system in the following instances:
• When driving in the fog, heavy rain,
heavy snow, slush, heavy traffic and
similar complex situations such as
highway construction zones.
• When entering a junction lane or a
slip road to leave the highway; when
driving on narrow, icy, snowy,
slippery roads, or on steep uphill and
downhill roads.
• When circumstances do not allow to
drive safely at constant speed.
