Fog lights only work when the low
beams are on by operating the light
switch in

position.
The symbol on the button and the
dedicated indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminate when the
lights are on.
WARNING!
Do not use the rear fog lights in
normal visibility conditions to avoid
dazzling vehicles behind.
Pressing again thebutton will
deactivate the rear fog lights.
Twilight Sensor
This device consists of two sensors: a
global sensor, capable of measuring
the light intensity above and a
directional sensor, which measures the
light intensity in the vehicle’s traveling
direction, enabling it to recognize
tunnels and driveways.
You can adjust the sensing range of
the twilight sensor by means of the
MTC+, by selecting the “Settings”
menu and "Safety & Driving Assistant"
function (see chapter "MTC+ Settings"
in section "Dashboard instruments and
Controls").
In the event of a sensor failure, the
system will turn on the low beams and
the position lights, regardless of the
light outside, and a failure message
will appear on the instrument cluster
display.
The failure indication will be displayed
as long as the light switch is turned to
"AUTO" position.
In this case, we recommend that you
deactivate the automatic system and
turn on the external lights manually if
necessary; contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealeras soon as possible.
