2019 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE rear view mirror

Traffic Sign Assist – TSA
(optional) TSA detects traffic signs through the
use of a forward-facing digital camera
mounted on windshield, behind the
rear-view mirror. TSA assists the driver
by displaying on the instrument cluster
detected speed limits and traffic signs
with a restriction indicated by an
additional sign (e.g. in snow
conditions). TSA also uses the data of
the navigation system, in order to
provide information to the driver in all
cases in which the camera is not able
to detect the traffic signs that are
present on the road where the car is
travelling.
Some examples of these are: due to
low visibility, light reflection, damaged
traffic signs, traffic signs in wrong
position like rotated or fallen poles.
NOTE:
• Overtaking restriction signs are not
displayed by the TSA system.
• TSA provides a visual warning to the
driver when he/she unintentionally
reaches the maximum speed limit
allowed or when it exceeds the set
“Sensitivity” value. • The performance of TSA depends on
the update degree of navigation
system’s maps.
Customised Settings TSA is configurable by the customer
regarding the display mode on the
instrument cluster and the warning
sensitivity.
Entering "Controls" page on MTC+
display the driver can see the current
setting beside the "Traffic Sign Assist"
soft-key.
Touching “Traffic Sign Assist” soft-key
can disable or enable the system.
Touching the soft-key on the side the
driver can change the setting.
The display of the traffic signs can be
blinking or static.
The system can be set to display the
traffic signs when the speed of the
vehicle is equal to the speed limit allowed, or when it is higher than 5 or
10 mph (5 or 10 km/h).
Signs Monitoring on
Instrument Cluster
If TSA feature is set and a sign or a
speed limit is detected, the related
icons are displayed in the upper area
of the instrument cluster beside of the
main menu number and scroll arrows.Driving

Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to
have the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers,
etc.) is obstructing the pedals
movement; • carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent them
from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any
case, it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below. • Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention.
• Reduce your speed, especially on
roads with no streetlights.
• Stop at early signs of drowsiness.
Continuing to drive would be a risk
for yourself and for others. Have a
rest before continuing your trip.
• Keep the vehicle at a greater
distance from vehicles in front of
you than you would during the day:
it is difficult to assess the speed of
other vehicles when you only see the
lights.
• Use the high beams only outside of
densely-populated areas and when
you are sure that they will not
disturb other drivers.
• When another vehicle is
approaching, switch from high
beams (if on) to low beams.
• Keep lights and headlights clean.
• Outside of densely-populated areas,
beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On
a wet road all maneuvers are more
difficult since wheel grip on the road
is significantly reduced. This means
that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.Driving

Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
When cleaning is performed, keep all
metal objects at a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the
Light Clusters
With cold or humid climates, after a
driving rain or after cleaning the car,
the surface of the front and rear light
clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity differences
between the lens internal and external
surface, which nevertheless does not
indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappears when switching on the
lights, starting from the centre of the
diffuser and gradually going to the
edges.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not use any other equipment such as
brushes, steel wool, abrasives or any
other equipment for cleaning.
• After cleaning, please rinse the
aluminum trim with a lot of clear
water.
• While cleaning in the car, please
make sure that the moldings and
aluminum trims only get in contact
with soft brushes or textiles.
Engine Compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully wash the engine
compartment, remembering to avoid
directing the jet of water for too long
on the electric parts.
To perform this operation, you must
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
Pre-Short Drop Function When in a car wash, if the driver keeps
the RKE Transmitter in his/her pocket,
or in any place outside the vehicle
within 3.3 ft (1 m) distance, the front
windows will perform a pre-short
drop. This is a shorter drop compared
to the normal short drop performed by
the “Passive Entry” function when you
grab the door handle to enter the
vehicle.Maintenance and Care
