WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint.
It could come loose in a collision. The
child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat. A
rearward-facing child restraint in the
front seat may be struck by a
deploying passenger air bag, which
may cause severe or fatal injury to
the infant. Here are some tips on getting
the most out of your child
restraint • Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label
certifying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. Maserati also
recommends that you make sure that
you can install the child restraint in
the vehicle where you will use it
before you buy it.
• The restraint system must be
appropriate for your child’s weight
and height.
• Check the label on the restraint
system for weight and height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the restraint system.
• If installed improperly, it may not
work when needed.
• Fit the child into the seat according
to the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions.
WARNING!
When your child restraint system is
not in use, secure it in the vehicle with
the seat belt or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it could strike the occupants or
seatbacks and cause serious personal
injury.
Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt.
All the passenger seat belts are
equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) to secure child
protection through a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion
of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint seat avoiding to use a locking
clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise if
the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt to
retract subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see “Using Seat
Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) Mode” in “Occupants Restraint
Systems” in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of the
retractor leading it through the belt
path of the protection device. Slide theBefore Starting

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

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
status.

paragraph); to return to “D”
position, move the shift lever to the
right. It is possible to shift from D
(Drive) mode to M +/- (Manual) mode
regardless of car speed.
• When in D (Drive) mode, using the
paddles behind the steering wheel (if
equipped), will cause the system to
enter a temporary function and
enable the manual shift mode. This
range is indicated with the symbols
“+/-” above and below “D” letter on
the gear range field of the display.
The system will then switch back to
automatic mode according to time
elapsed in “temporary” mode and
driving conditions.
At extremely cold temperatures (-23°F /
-30°C or below), transmission may be
affected by the low temperature of
the engine and transmission. Normal
operation will resume once the
transmission temperature has risen to
a normal level.
M +/- (Manual)
This mode is obtained by moving the
shift lever to the left in “M +/-“
position.
In this mode, the transmission interacts
with the driver in order to allow
manual shift and ensure increased
control of the vehicle. The current mode allows the transmission system
to optimise the engine brake action,
remove undesired shifting into higher
and lower gears and improve the
overall performance of the vehicle.
This mode allows you to move the shift
lever step by step forward “–“ or
backward “+” without pressing the
unlock button. The current
transmission gear is displayed on the
instrument cluster beside “M”.
Manual mode can be activated at any
time, with no need to release the
brake pedal.
In M +/- (Manual) mode, the
transmission will shift up or down (+/–)
if manually selected by the driver by
using the shift lever, or shift paddles
on the steering wheel (if foreseen).
The transmission remains in the
engaged gear until the driver shifts into another higher or lower gear,
except in the following cases.
• Lack of accelerator pedal activity will
cause the transmission to revert to
automatic operation. The
transmission will also upshift
automatically once maximum engine
speed is reached.
• If in SPORT mode, the transmission
will remain in the selected gear even
when maximum engine speed is
reached. The transmission will
upshift only if enabled by the driver.
Manual upshift or downshift will be
maintained as long as SPORT mode is
selected, even by full stroke pedal
press.
• If in “M +/-“ or in SPORT mode, the
transmission will automatically
downshift as the vehicle slows to halt
(to prevent engine lugging) and the
current gear will display on the
instrument cluster. Shifting the shift
lever backward “+” or moving the
right shift paddle “+” towards the
steering wheel when stationary, will
cause the vehicle to start in second
gear. If the vehicle speed is too low,
the system will ignore further
upshifts. Avoid using speed control
when the M +/- (Manual) mode is
engaged.Driving
