Rain Sensing Wipers
This feature detects moisture on the
windshield through an inside rearview
mirror integrated sensor.
The rain sensor adapts the frequency
of the windshield wiper strokes (in the
intermittent operation mode) to the
intensity of the rain.
All the other functions controlled by
the right-hand multifunction lever
(windshield wipers off, in continuous
slow and fast operation mode and in
temporary fast operation mode)
remain the same.
The rain sensor is activated
automatically by moving the
right-hand multifunction lever to
"AUTO" position. The sensor has a
setting range that varies progressively:
from the windshield wiper stationary
position - when the windshield is dry -
to the windshield wiper second speed
- in conditions of pouring rain.To regulate the frequency of
intermittent operation, with the
right-hand multifunction lever in
"AUTO" position, turn the end section
of the lever.
Rotating the end section clockwise,
intermittent operation varies from fast
intermittent wipe (max.) to slow
intermittent wipe (min).
If the engine is turned off during
automatic windshield wiper
operation, with the right-hand
multifunction lever in "AUTO"
position, to reactivate the function the
next time the engine is started, the
lever must be moved to "OFF" (stop
position) then back to "AUTO"
position.CAUTION!
• The rain sensing feature may not
function properly by ice or dried salt
water on the windshield.
• Use on the windshield of RainX
®or
products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
Rain Sensor Failure
When the rain sensor is activated, in
the event that it is malfunctioning, the
windshield wiper will be switched on
in intermittent operation mode and
the sensing range will be set by the
user, regardless of whether or not
there is rain on the windshield.
The
symbol appears on the
instrument cluster display.
In this case, we recommend that you
cut-out the rain sensor and turn on
the wiper, if necessary, in continuous
mode. Contact theAuthorized
Maserati Dealeras soon as possible.

Calibration Selection
The driver can select, in relation to
road surface conditions, vehicle speed,
driving style and comfort, one of the
two calibration levels provided by the
system: normal or sports-style.
•Normal calibration, active when
SPORT drive mode is disabled
("SPORT" button not pressed), favors
comfort and higher driving stability
with low and average grip
conditions.
•Sport-style calibration, active when
SPORT drive mode is enabled
("SPORT" button pressed) , favors
wheel drive and permits a
dynamic-style driving with optimal
road holding.
Whenever the engine is started, the
system automatically activates
NORMAL drive mode, even if SPORT
drive mode was selected before the
engine was last turned off.
The sport-style calibration can be
selected only with the key in the
ignition switch inMAR (ON)position
and it is enabled by pressing button
"SPORT", even while driving.
When SPORT drive mode is activated,
the word “SPORT” on the instrument
cluster display and the LED on the
button illuminate.WARNING!
SPORT drive mode should not be
activated if the road surface is rough
or slippery.
The electronic suspension control
system works in combination with the
ESC system.
When the suspension is set to normal
calibration, stability is increased under
medium and low grip conditions, while
when it is set to sport-style calibration,
the ESC system optimizes a sportier
driving.
WARNING!
In low- and medium-grip conditions
(e.g., rain, snow, ice, sand, etc.) it is
advisable not to use SPORT drive
mode, even with the ESC system
enabled.
Malfunction Indicators
If one or more electric components in
the system prove to be malfunctioning
while driving, the ECU illuminates the
amber warning light accompanied
by the message “Check suspensions”
on the display. In addition, the ECU
calibrates the shock absorbers to apreset value, thus ensuring a safe
vehicle set up.
Should the malfunction involve one
shock absorber only, this will no longer
be controlled by the ECU and will
therefore remain set as it was when
the fault occurred. It is therefore
possible for one of the four shock
absorbers to work with a fixed
calibration, different from that of the
other ones.
In any case, safe and secure vehicle
driving is always ensured at low
speeds.
CAUTION!
In the event of a malfunction in the
suspension control electronic system,
which will be indicated by the
illumination of the amber warning
light on the display while driving, keep
a moderate speed and have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
If a malfunction occurs while driving,
and this is signaled by the illumination
of the
amber warning light on the
display, it is advisable to stop the
vehicle as soon as possible, turn the
key in the ignition switch toSTOP
(OFF)position and then restart the
engine.
