The electric arc requires very high
voltage for activation, but afterward
power is supplied at a lower voltage.
The headlights reach maximum
brightness about 0,5 seconds after
being turned on.
The strong light produced by this type
of headlight requires the use of an
automatic system to keep the position
of the headlights constant and to
prevent dazzling approaching cars, in
the case of braking, acceleration or
load transport.
WARNING!
If xenon headlamp replacement is
necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Parking Lights
The parking lights only work with the
key in the ignition switch turned to
STOP (OFF)orACCposition, or with

They are activated by turning the light
switch to
position.
It is harder to turn the switch to
position than to the other
positions. This is to avoid activatingthe parking lights unintentionally and
wasting power.
When the parking lights are on, the
warning light on the instrument
cluster illuminates.
With parking lights on, move down
left-hand multifunction lever to switch
on position lights on left-hand side,

The high beams can only be turned on
manually by pushing the left-hand
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
•If the low beams are activated, they
will come on automatically every
time the lights are turned on. You
are therefore advised to turn off the
high beams every time the twilightsensor deactivates the external
lights.
•In case of fog during the day,
position lights and low beam lights
are not turned on automatically. The
driver must always be ready to turn
the lights on manually, including
rear fog lights, if necessary.
•The driver is always responsible for
turning on the external lights,
depending on the light outside and
in compliance with the applicable
legislation in the country of use. The
automatic system for activating/
deactivating the external lights must
be considered an aid for the driver.
If necessary, turn the lights on and
off manually.
NOTE:
After external lights turn on
automatically, driver can always
manually turn on rear fog lights.
When external lights turn off
automatically, rear fog lights will turn
off automatically too, if on. Upon the

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
