(see “MTC+ Settings” in this section).
The time can be displayed also on the
MTC+ status bar and on the
instrument cluster display (see “MTC+
Settings” in this section).
Clock lighting works in the same way
as instrument and controls
backlighting (refer to “Lights” in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”). Air Conditioning Controls The vehicle is equipped with an
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system that allows to adjust separately
the temperature and the airflow
distribution in the left and in the right
zone of the passenger compartment,
according to the requests of the driver
and the front passenger.
A humidity sensor, positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rear view mirror, allows the A/C
system to prevent/eliminate fogging
of the windshield and side windows.
The best efficacy in preventing
fogging is obtained by selecting the
“AUTO” function, described later.
A dual zone solar sensor helps to
achieve the best comfort in presence
of solar radiation.
Upon request, the vehicle can be
equipped with an additional
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system installed in the central console,
between the front seats. The
additional dual-zone module, can be
operated by the rear passengers (see
“Four-zone Climate Control
(optional)” in this chapter), by means
of the control panel at the end of
central console, but also by the front passengers using the soft-keys on
MTC+ display.
Dual Zone Climate Controls This system can be operated by using
the controls of the automatic climate
control panel on the dashboard, or
the softkeys on the MTC+ display
when “Climate” mode is selected.
In the "Climate" screen of the MTC+,

two vents on the upper part of the
dashboard and two positioned at
the rear end of the central console.
Each of these vents can be singly
adjusted. The air grids or vanes of
the vents can be moved to adjust air
flow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate or close the airflow.
• “Bi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and the fixed floor
vents. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed to let cooler
air come in the dashboard and rear
part of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
• “Defrost” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging.
• “Mix” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
defrost/demist vent, the vent under
the dashboard and from floor vent. This mode is recommended for cold
climates, to improve comfort and
prevent windows fogging.
• “Hi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents and
from the dashboard adjustable
vents, the central console adjustable
vent and the fixed floor vent.

Brake and Stability Control
System The vehicle is equipped with an
Electronic Stability Control System
(ESC), which helps to maintain
directional control in the event of loss
of grip of the tires. The system is able
to detect potentially dangerous
situations for the stability of the
vehicle and automatically sets the
brakes on all four wheels in a
differentiated manner, in order to
provide a torque settlement of the
vehicle.
ESC includes the following subsystems:
• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System);
• EBD (Electronic Brake-force
Distribution);
• TCS (Traction Control System);
• BAS (Brake Assist System);
• BTO (Brake Throttle Override);
• HSA (Hill Start Assist).
WARNING!
• These systems cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from
affecting the vehicle, nor can they
increase traction, braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes
and tires.
• These systems cannot prevent
collisions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too
closely, or hydroplaning.
• The capabilities of a vehicle
equipped with these systems must
never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the driver’s and the
passenger’s safety or the safety of
others.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) This system enhances directional
control and stability of the vehicle
under various driving conditions. The
ESC corrects over steering and under
steering of the vehicle by applying the
brake to the appropriate wheel.
Engine power may also be reduced to
assist in counteracting the conditions
of instability and maintain the right
direction. The system is also able to
reduce the engine power.
Through sensors fitted on the vehicle,
the ESC system detects the driver’s
chosen direction comparing it to the
one maintained while running. In case of discrepancy between the required
trajectory and the current one, the ESC
system brakes the appropriate wheel
to counteract over or under steering.
• Oversteer - when the vehicle is
turning more than appropriate for
the steering wheel position.
• Understeer - when the vehicle is
turning less than appropriate for the
steering wheel position.
The ESC system has two available
operating modes:
ESC on
This is the normal ESC operating mode.
At each start-up of the vehicle, the ESC
system is set in this mode and should
be used for most driving conditions.
The ESC should only be turned off for
specific reasons as pointed out in the
following paragraphs.
ESC off
The “ESC off” mode is aimed for a
more spirited driving experience but
also purposeful for driving in deep
snow, sand, or gravel. The current
mode disables the TCS portion of the
ESC and raises the threshold for ESC
activation, allowing higher wheel spin
than normally granted by the ESC
system. The
(ESC OFF) button is
fitted beside the gear shift lever: toDriving

tire on the vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tires. Risk of accident
and serious personal injury due to
excessive speed.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed
capability can result in tire failure.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Winter Tires These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle. Winter or all-season tires can
be identified by the M+S (Mud &
Snow) or 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain
Snow Flake) designation on the tire
sidewall.
Before mounting winter tires, contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer to
receive the technical information
necessary to advise you on wheel and
tire compatibility.
As to the type of tires to use, inflation
pressures and winter tires specifications, carefully follow the
indications as reported in the
“Technical Data” and “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapters in section “Features
and Specifications”.
WARNING!
The standard tires profile and rubber
mixture are optimized for wet and dry
driving conditions. Standard tires may
not prove favorable for snow
conditions.
NOTE:
Snow
tires should have the same load
capacity as original equipment tires
and should be mounted on all four
wheels.
Snow Chains Maserati approved traction devices (or
snow chains) may be used to improve
traction on compacted snow in heavy
snow conditions.
The use of snow chains is specified by
local regulations of each country.
Use snow chains of reduced
dimensions, with a maximum
projection of 0.23 in (6 mm) beyond
the tire tread. The chains may be fitted only on 19”
rear wheel tires.
Please contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for further information.
Check the snow chain tension after
driving for a distance of about 55 yd
(50 m) with the chains fitted.
With the snow chains fitted, it is
advisable to deactivate the ESC system
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section).
CAUTION!
• The use of non-recommended snow
chains may damage the vehicle.
• Broken snow chains can cause
serious damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate snow chain breakage.
Replace the damaged parts of the
snow chain before further use.
• Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe
turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.
• Avoid holes in the road, do not drive
over steps or sidewalks and do not
drive on long stretches without
snow. This will prevent damage to
the vehicle and the roadbed.Driving

WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for
the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may
occur when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants
or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage
to the sensors may result.
• The system can temporarily
experience radio-electric
interference emitted by devices
using similar frequencies.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem and damage the TPMS internal
sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving
on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and may lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gage, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS light
.
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure
in the tire.
Premium System The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which
display on the instrument cluster;
• warning light
.
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light will illuminate in
the instrument cluster and an acoustic
signal will notify that tire pressure is
low in one or more of the four tires.Driving
