the rear ones for approx. 10 seconds
or until a speed of approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h) is exceeded, and the front
ones until a speed of approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h) is exceeded. When driving at
a speed equal to or lower than 6 mph
(10 km/h), as soon as the system
detects an obstacle, the front sensor
detection areas are displayed, and the
acoustic signals start to be emitted. If
no obstacle is detected for 10 seconds,
the displayed information disappears.
Front sensors can be temporarily
disabled by pressing
button in the
control panel next to the steering
wheel. The system will emit an
acoustic signal, and the button LED
will turn off. If
button is pressed
again, the acoustic signal and the LED
coming on will warn the driver that
sensors are now active again.
System with Disabled Stop &
Go Feature
With the "Stop & Go" feature disabled
through the MTC+, rear sensor
enabling/disabling logic is kept
unchanged. As for front sensors, the
“Stop & Go” function signal status will
not be changed if the
button in
the control panel next to the steering
wheel is pressed and front sensors will
be active and displayed on the
instrument cluster until speed will be
equal to or lower than 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Once this speed limit is exceeded, if
vehicle slows down below 6 mph
(10 km/h), sensors will not be enabled.
To enable them again, press
button.NOTE:
Front sensors are enabled only when
button LED is illuminated. In
addition, any pressing of
button
when vehicle speed is above 6 mph
(10 km/h) will be ignored by the
system.
Obstacle Signalling
The acoustic signals are emitted by
two buzzers, one under the dashboard
and one in proximity of the luggage
shelf.
When the obstacle is located at a
distance of less than 14 in (35 cm)
from the bumper, the beep is
continuous. The warning beep stops
immediately if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle increases.
The tone cycle is constant if the
distance measured by the central
sensors remains unaltered. If this
occurs with the lateral sensors, the
signal stops after approximately 7
seconds, to prevent for example
continuous beeps in the event of
maneuvers alongside walls.
The distance from the obstacles can
also be graphically shown on the
instrument cluster display by means of
an image that shows the vehicle
surrounded by explanatory symbols of

When the system refuses to engage a
gear, an acoustic signal will sound for
a few seconds.
Sequential manual operation can only
be selected from the D (Drive) position
whatever the function (SPORT,
NORMAL) active at the time of the
request. The gear selected by the
automatic transmission will remain
engaged when the transmission shift
lever is moved.
Shifting the lever back to D (Drive),
automatic operation will instantly be
resumed, and a gear will be engaged
based on the driving style and mode
selected.
In the event of a failure of the
sequential manual gearshift system,
the transmission ECU will select
automatic operation.
Gearshift Paddles Operation
In sequential manual operating mode
(MANUAL), upshifting and
downshifting can be controlled not
only with the transmission shift lever
but also with the two paddles
positioned behind the steering wheel.
"+": (UP): upper gearshift paddle.
"–": (DOWN): lower gearshift paddle.Also in automatic transmission mode,
when the transmission lever is in
position D (Drive), you can shift to a
different gear by moving one of the
paddles. This action will temporarily
switch the system to sequential
manual operation.
If you then keep to a constant driving
style (low longitudinal and lateral
acceleration), the gearbox
automatically switches back to
automatic operation.
Gear Shift Indicator Light
In order to improve fuel economy, we
recommend that you shift gears when
the system prompts you to do so. This
will help reduce fuel consumption
without significantly affecting vehicle
performance.
The arrow icon beside the displayed
gear will light up to indicate the
moment the gear change is required.This indicator lights up just before
reaching the required speed for gear
change.
When the new gear is engaged, the
indicator turns off. If the shift runs
late or is not performed at all, the
indicator remains lit for a few seconds
then turns off. As soon as new
conditions requiring further gear
change occur, the indicator light will
illuminate again.
NOTE:
The gearshift indicator will only work
when the transmission is set to manual
sequential operation (see paragraph
"Sequential Manual Operation
(MANUAL)" in this chapter).

WARNING!
The wet performance (aquaplaning
resistance) will decrease
proportionally to the thickness of the
tread.
Tires Durability
The service life of a tire depends on
various factors including, but not
limited to:
• driving style;
• tire pressure;
• distance driven.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire (if equipped)
should be replaced after six years,
regardless of the remaining tread.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in tire failure.
Replacement Tires
NOTE:
In order to maintain high performance
and safety level under all driving
conditions, Maserati strongly
recommends to use tires equivalent to
the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is
needed.
For the size designation of your tire
see the label on the driver's side rear
door pillar or see table “Wheels” in
section “Features and Specifications”.
The “Load Index” and “Speed Symbol”
for your tire will be found on the
original equipment tire sidewall.
It is recommended to replace the two
front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel assembly,
make sure that the wheel’s
specifications (valve, TPMS sensor and
tire) match those of the original
wheels. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
YourAuthorized Maserati Dealeris
available to provide suggestions as tothe types of tires most suited to the
use foreseen by the Customer.
WARNING!
•Do not use a tire, wheel size or
rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may
change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics,
resulting in altered steering,
handling, and braking operations of
the vehicle. This can cause
unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension
components. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings
appointed for your vehicle.
•Never use a tire with a smaller load
index or capacity, other than what
was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller
load index could result in tire
overloading and failure.
•Always check the maximum speed
rating on the tire sidewall on any
tire on the vehicle.
