Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments
Low Fuel Indicator on Fuel Gage
The illumination of the red indicator
inside the gage indicates that there
are approx. 4.7 Gallons (18 liters) of
fuel in the tank.
If the pointer positions on "0"
(beginning of scale) and the fuel
reserve indicator flashes, it means that
there is a system malfunction.
In this case, contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerto have the system
checked.
Telltales on Speedometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the fuel level gage and speedometer,
and related messages are visible for 10
seconds on the central sector of the
display, unless otherwise indicated.The telltales indicated with (*) are also
displayed on the TFT display (see “TFT
Display” paragraph in this chapter).
Charging System Warning Light
This warning light shows the
status of the electrical
charging system. If the light
stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or
increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system warning light
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Require IMMEDIATE
service at anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Start Procedures” in section “In
an Emergency”.Malfunction Indicator Light (*)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the key in the ignition switch is in
MAR (ON)position and switch off
soon after the engine is started.
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lighted up or switches on
while driving, there is a failure in the
fuel supply/ignition and emission
control systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Under these conditions you can
proceed slowly without forcing the
engine or driving at high speeds.
The indicator light will switch off if
the problem is solved.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.

Engine Start Failure
CAUTION!
• Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way.
• If the vehicle battery is dead, booster
cables may be used to obtain a start
from a booster battery or the
battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done
improperly. See “Auxiliary Jump
Start Procedure” in section “In an
Emergency” for further information.
Starting by 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
• Place the shift lever in P (Park) (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section).
• With the engine at idle, turn the key
in the ignition switch toSTOP (OFF)position. A burst on the accelerator
pedal before turning off the engine
has no purpose and increases fuel
consumption.
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P
(Park) position, as it could move.
The key can only be removed from the
ignition switch when the transmission
is in P (Park) position and within 30
seconds after turning the key toSTOP
(OFF)position. If you do not remove
the key within 30 seconds, you will
need to turn it back toMAR (ON)and
then toSTOP (OFF)position to have a
further 30 seconds within which to
remove the key from the ignition
switch.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible to
shift the transmission to P (Park)
position, to remove the key you must
turn it toSTOP (OFF)position, then
remove the cap shown in picture using
a pen or sufficiently pointed tool.
Then press the button just uncovered
and at the same time extract the key
from the ignition switch. Once the key
has been removed, refit the removed
cap.

Automatic Transmission
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 automatic transmission has six
forward gear ratios and one reverse
gear. The gears can also be engaged
manually once you have shifted the
transmission shift lever to the sector
provided.
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
permitted 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 and should be used every timethe key in the ignition switch is
turned toSTOP (OFF)position.
• 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
stor
2ndgear, it is necessary to keep the
brake pedal fully depressed.
WARNING!
•It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if
the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and when
your foot is firmly pressing on the
brake pedal.
•As with all vehicles, you should
never exit a vehicle while the engine
is running. Before exiting a vehicle,
always apply the electronic parking
brake, shift the transmission into P
(Park), and turn the engine off.
•When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignitionswitch and lock your vehicle.
•Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle.
The transmission system is equipped
with "Shift-Lock" and "Key-Lock"
safety functions.
Shift-Lock
This safety function allows you to shift
from P (Park) to another position only
if the brake pedal is depressed. This
prevents the vehicle from involuntarily
jumping forward or backward.
Key-Lock
This function allows you to remove the
key from the ignition switch only
when the transmission shift lever is in
P (Park) position and within a
maximum time of 30 seconds. When
this time has elapsed, the key can no
longer be removed.
Automatic Transmission Lever
Automatic transmission is operated by
a lever with unlock button to engage
R (Reverse) and P (Park) located on the
central console.
By using the transmission shift lever it
is possible to select following
positions, indicated on the gear display
at the side of the transmission shift

NOTE:
After an emergency staring, you
should contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealeras the emergency
starting procedure will have to be
carried out every time you want to
start the engine.Auxiliary Jump-Start
Procedure
If your vehicle has a discharged
battery it can be jump-started using a
set of jumper cables and a battery of
another vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster. It is necessary to have
proper jumper cables in order to
connect the booster battery to the
remote posts of the discharged
battery. Booster cables have usually
positive and negative terminal clamps
and are identified by a different
sheath color (red = positive, black =
negative). Maserati provides on
request jumper cables created for its
models and content in a practical case.
NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
provide you with information about
the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”,
available in the “Genuine Accessories”
range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done improperly so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully.NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack, follow the battery
manufacturer’s operating instructions
and precautions.
CAUTION!
• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage
the electronic systems, particularly
the control units managing the
ignition and fuel supply functions.
• If the battery is completely
discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window.

WARNING!
•Using booster packs that have not
been checked, which could therefore
release a too high charging voltage
(higher than 14 V), in extreme
environmental conditions (for
example: closed areas or without
proper ventilation and temperatures
higher than 122°F/50°C or lower
than -4°F/-20°C) create the right
conditions for ignition which could
then cause the battery to explode.
Therefore you shall always perform
jump-starting operations using the
adequate tools and in the best
environmental conditions, taking all
necessary precautions.
•Do not attempt jump-starting if the
discharged battery is frozen. It could
rupture or explode during jump start
and cause personal injury.
•Do not carry out this procedure if
you have not done it before:
incorrect maneuvers can originate
high electrical discharges and even
cause the battery to explode.
•To avoid the risk of explosion or fire,
do not approach the battery withopen flames or cigarettes that could
generate sparks.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, see
“Maintenance - Free Battery” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
Access the Battery
The battery is stored in the trunk.
• Open the trunk lid (see “Open and
Close the Trunk Lid” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Remove any luggage from the trunk
compartment.
• Remove the floor panel from the
trunk compartment.
• Remove the inside covering panel
from the battery compartment.Remove the cover from the right side
of the battery which protects the
positive pole.
Jump-Start Procedure
WARNING!
•The battery is secured to the vehicle
with a metal clamp (indicated in the
picture), so be extremely careful not
to let the clips on the end of the
cables come into contact with it.
•Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical
contact. You could be seriously
injured.
•Do not allow the vehicles involved in
the jump-starting operation to touch
each other as this could establish a
ground connection and cause
personal injury.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
• Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into P (Park)
and turn the key in the ignition
switch toSTOP (OFF)position.
• If using another vehicle to jump start
the battery, park the vehicle within

the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is off.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable to the positive
(+) pole of the discharged battery.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) pole of the booster
battery.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
negative jumper cable to the
negative (–) pole of the booster
battery.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the negative (–) jumper cable to
the negative (–) pole of the
discharged battery.
• Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the
engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle withthe discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster, wait a few
seconds after connecting the cables,
before starting the booster vehicle.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
negative (–) jumper cable from the
negative (–) pole of the discharged
battery.
• Disconnect the opposite terminal
clamp of the negative jumper cable
from the negative (–) pole of the
booster battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) pole of the booster
battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable from the
positive (+) pole of the discharged
battery.
• After starting the engine of the
vehicle with a discharged battery,
avoid turning it off immediately
because the engine running can help
recharge the battery if the latter is
not broken and if the charging
system is not faulty.NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle you should have
the battery and charging system
inspected at anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.
