released, when one of the following
conditions occurs:
• The SPORT drive mode or (ESC Off)
drive mode is being activated.
• If the Start&Stop function has been
disabled through the main menu
voice “Start & Stop” (see chapter
“Instrument cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”) or through the Start&Stop
hard button on the central console
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section) or via MTC+ in the “Control”
page (see “MTC+ ”Control” Screen”
in section “Dashboard Instruments
and Controls”).
• If shift lever is moved to R (Reverse).
• If the steering wheel is moved to
steer the wheels.
• When the temperature conditions
inside the vehicle do not correspond
to the air conditioning setting.
• When changing the temperature
setting on the air conditioning.
• When the defroster function is being
activated.
• When the battery charge is below
safety value.
• When the accelerator pedal is being
pressed (together with the brake
pedal). • If a long time has passed since the
last automatic stop of the engine.
Occupants Safety Function To enhance occupants safety, the
Start&Stop system monitors if the
driver is present and does not allow
automatic restarting of the engine if
one of the following manoeuvres is
being performed while in “AutoStop”
condition:
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
and releases the brake pedal.
• The driver opens the door and
releases the brake pedal.
• The driver unbuckles the seat belt
and opens the door.
• The driver opens the hood.
All the above-mentioned conditions
deactive the Start&Stop function (the
“AutoStart” is deactivated and the
engine remains off) and the
transmission shifts automatically in P
(Park).
The
telltale will flash to indicate
the Start&Stop function disabling. To
restart the engine it is necessary to
press the brake pedal and push the
START/STOP button.
Move the shift lever to D (Drive) to
drive away. WARNING!
• Even when the vehicle is stopped in
the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase, the
driver is responsible for the vehicle
and the occupants and shall take
care of what happens inside and
outside the vehicle.
• Even when the vehicle is stopped
within the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase,
the vehicle driver is responsible for
the vehicle, the vehicle’s occupants
and the vehicle’s surrounding area.
Never leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running; doing so
poses a risk of danger. It is a good
practice to always ensure to set the
parking brake and place the
transmission gear selector lever into
the P (Park) position, thereby
ensuring the vehicle will not move,
when performing any vehicle checks,
maintenance and/or service
procedures on the vehicle.
Start&Stop Function Disabling Start & Stop enabled is the default

NOTE:
The yellow LED on the button
indicates the disabled status of
Start&Stop system and vice versa.
If the driving conditions allow it, the
user can re-enable the Start&Stop
function at any time using one of
previous ways.
NOTE:
After user intervention, the Start&Stop
system will automatically update the
status of the function in all contexts
where it can be modified.
Start&Stop System Failure When the indicator light and the
related message illuminate on the TFT
display (see chapter “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”) there is a
malfunction in the Start&Stop system
and the engine cannot be switched off
and restarted automatically. To switch
off or restart the engine it is necessary
to push the START/STOP . Have the
vehicle checked at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .Automatic Transmission The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled 8-speed
automatic transmission, which
automatically changes gear according
to the vehicle's instantaneous usage
parameters (vehicle speed, road
gradient and accelerator pedal
position).
It is possible to change gear manually
thanks to the “M +/-“ (Manual)
position for the shift lever.
The electronic shift lever replaces the
conventional mechanical lever and has
no mechanical connection to the
transmission. The transmission is
operated by electrical actuators on the
hydraulic system and all commands to
the control system are transmitted by
the CAN network. The lever itself
represents a mere user interface. Gear
positions are simulated by solenoids
inside the lever body, which are
computer-controlled and enable or
disable certain positions of the lever.
The solenoids inside the shift lever
prevent the movement of the lever
towards invalid positions.
The electronically-controlled
transmission provides a precise shift
schedule. The transmission electronics
are self-calibrating, therefore the gearshift behaviour could become
perfect as expected after few
hundreds of miles.
CAUTION!
In order to properly use the automatic
transmission, it is essential that you
read through the whole chapter, so
that you can understand right from
the start what the correct and granted
operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• Shift into P (Park) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop:
this is the default position of the
lever. After engaged P (Park) it is
possible set the ignition switch to
OFF .
• Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop and the engine is at
idle speed.
• Do not shift between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
when the engine is above idle speed
• To effect any change from vehicle
stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1 st

R (Reverse)
This range is used to move the vehicle
backward.
Switching to R (Reverse) starting from
N (Neutral) is only possible if the
vehicle is moving backwards.
We recommend to shift into R
(Reverse) only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Vehicle stationary: switching
between R (Reverse) and D (Drive),
passing from N (Neutral), requires
brake pedal pressed and action on
the lever.
• Vehicle moving: the driver can switch
from R (Reverse) to N (Neutral)
acting on the shift lever without
pressing the unlock button and the
brake pedal.
N (Neutral)
• Vehicle stationary and engine
started: switching from N (Neutral)
to P (Park) requires “P” button
pressed only. Switching from N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D
(Drive) requires brake pedal and
unlock button pressed and the
action on the shift lever.
• Vehicle moving: switching from N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D
(Drive) requires pressing the unlock button and the action on the shift
lever. Switching to R (Reverse)
starting from N (Neutral) is only
possible if the vehicle is moving
backwards, while switching to D
(Drive) starting from N (Neutral) is
only possible if the vehicle is moving
forwards.
Set the parking brake and shift the
transmission into P (Park) if you must
leave the vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not switch to N (Neutral) and/or
never turn off the ignition to coast
downhill. These are unsafe practices
that limit driver’s response to
changing traffic or road conditions. It
is possible to lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or
driving for any other reason with the
transmission in N (Neutral) can result
in severe transmission damage. See
“Towing a Disabled Vehicle” in section
“In an Emergency” for further
information. D (Drive)
This
range should
be used for most
city and highway driving. It provides
the smoothest upshifts and downshifts
and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically shifts up
and down through all gears. The D
(Drive) mode provides optimum
driving characteristics under all normal
operating conditions of the vehicle.
• Vehicle stationary: to switch from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse) requires brake
pedal and unlock button pressed
and the action on the shift lever: to
reach N (Neutral) starting from D
(Drive) is possible by only acting on
the shift lever.
• To enable special operations while
the car is moving at a low speed,
such as getting out of marsh or
snow, it is possible to run quickly
from D (Drive) to R (Reverse), and
vice versa, by pressing the unlock
button and acting on the shift lever
passing from N (Neutral).
• Vehicle moving: switching to N
(Neutral) from D (Drive) it is not
necessary to press brake pedal.
• From D (Drive) selected mode it is
always possible to switch to M +/-
(Manual) mode, by move the shift
lever to the left (see followingDriving

229

NOTE:
The gearshift indicator will only work
when the transmission is set in M +/-
(Manual) mode.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions Transmission Emergency Control
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, “Transmission Limp Home
Mode” will be activated. In this
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all. In some situations, the
transmission system may not
re-engage if the engine is turned off
and restarted.
A message in the instrument cluster
will inform the driver about the more
serious transmission conditions, and
indicate what actions may be
necessary.
Transmission Oil Overtemperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, the red
warning light
illuminates on the
instrument cluster. In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level
(the light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend
to stop the vehicle, shift the lever to
position P (Park) or N (Neutral) and
keep the engine idle until the
temperature red warning light
turns off and the message
disappears from the display. Resume
driving without demanding high
engine performance. If the red
warning light
and the related
message turns on again, it is advisable
to stop the vehicle, turn off the engine
and wait for the engine/transmission
assembly to fully cool down.
If the instrument cluster message
indicates that the transmission may
not re-engage after engine shutdown,
perform the following procedure
preferably at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer . In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park), if
possible.
• Turn the engine off.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds.
• Restart the engine.
• Shift the transmission into D (Drive)
and then into the desired gear
range. If the problem is no longer
detected, the transmission will return
to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset,
we recommend that you visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer at your
earliest possible convenience, which
has diagnostic equipment to
determine if the problem could recur.
