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

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
