2019 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE warning light

To activate lane change function, tap
the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent. The turn
signals (right or left) will flash three
times then automatically turn off.
This function is useful when
overtaking or changing lanes.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does
not flash, or flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside light. If
an indicator on the instrument
cluster fails while moving the lever,
then the turn indicator could be
defective.
• The message that a turn signal is on
will appear in the instrument cluster
and a continuous chime will sound if
the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on. High Beams and Flashing
To switch on the high beams with the
light switch in headlamp
or
“AUTO” position, shift the
multifunction lever onward.
The blue telltale
will illuminate on
the tachometer.
By pulling the lever backward (toward
the steering wheel) you switch off the
high beams and switch on the low
beams. You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beams headlights
until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(lights switch in position “0”) if the
ignition switch is RUN position.
CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. WeUnderstanding the Vehicle

recommend therefore that you switch
them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.
Automatic High Beams
The
Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward digital
camera mounted behind the rearview
mirror, which is the same one used
also by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and 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.
The high beam can be turned back on
if there are all the necessary
conditions and if the vehicle speed
exceed 21.7 mph (35 km/h).
The “Auto High Beam Assist” feature
can be turned on or off using the
MTC+ System. Refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls" for further
information. The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions.
To activate this function:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the headlight switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Enable the “Auto High Beam Assist”
function on MTC+.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on. NOTE:
Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High
Beam headlight control mirror is
replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Interior Lights The interior and exterior approach
lights turn on and off when
entering/exiting the vehicle (see
“Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section
"Before Starting" for further
information).
The brightness of the lights can be
manually adjusted with the regulator
positioned beside the light switch.
To protect the battery, the interior
lights will turn off automatically 10
minutes after the ignition switch has
been shifted to OFF . This occurs if the
interior lights were turned on
manually or by opening of a door. The
