•The
warning light illuminates
when the engine is running to
indicate an EBD system malfunction.
In this case, sharp braking may
cause an early locking of the rear
wheels, and the vehicle may skid.
Drive with the greatest care and
have the system immediately
checked by the nearest Centre of the
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Hydraulic Brake Assistance
(HBA)
HBA completes the ABS system by
optimizing the vehicle braking
capacity during emergency braking.
In the event of a critical situation,
where the vehicle must stop in the
shortest possible distance, the driver
usually depresses the brake pedal
quickly, but often not strongly
enough: this increases the braking
distance. HBA has been designed to
solve this problem and acts by
applying the maximum braking force
during emergency braking, in order to
stop the vehicle in the shortest
possible distance.
HBA recognizes the emergency
condition by analyzing someparameters, such as the pressure on
the brake servo, the wheel speed and
activation of the third stop. The ABS
control unit cross-checks this data and
substitutes the driver by activating the
braking system’s full power and so
ensures optimal braking performance
in the shortest possible distance.
Brake Override System (BOS)
To complete the range of systems that
assist braking, the vehicle is equipped
withBOS, which is designed to stop
the vehicle even when it is being
accelerated. If the brake pedal is
depressed together with the
accelerator, the engine power should
be automatically reduced and, if the
driver continues to depress the
accelerator, the system may even cause
the vehicle to come to a complete
stop.
Additionally, if the brake pedal is
released when the accelerator is still
depressed, the corresponding engine
torque can be reached gradually.
Using the Brakes
CAUTION!
To obtain a good performance of
brake pads and discs, avoid sudden
braking during the first 190 mi
(300 km).
The pad wear limit is indicated by the
illumination
of the
warning light,
on the instrument cluster display.
In this event, please contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
WARNING!
•Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure and possibly an accident.
Driving with your foot resting or
riding on the brake pedal can result
in abnormally high brake
temperatures, excessive lining wear,
and possible brake damage. In an
emergency full braking capacity may
be impaired.
•If the
red warning light
illuminates when the engine is
running with the message that
indicates an insufficient brake fluid
level, stop the vehicle and check the

Use of the Engine
Breaking-In
Today's most modern production
methods are designed to provide
extremely precise construction and
assembly of components. However,
moving parts do undergo a settling
process, basically in the first hours of
vehicle operation.
Do not drive keeping at a constant
high speed rate for a prolonged time.
While cruising, brief full-throttle
acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle
operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality
grades, see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand
kilometers of operation. This should
be considered as a normal part of thebreak-in and not interpreted as an
indication of malfunction.
Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first
620 trip mi (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not
exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has
warmed up sufficiently (coolant
temperature: 149-158°F/65-70°C).
While Driving
Never travel with the tachometer
indicator approaching the peak rpm,
not even downhill. When the
tachometer indicator is approaching
the peak rpm (red colored zone), take
precautions to avoid exceeding that
limit.
Ensure proper operation of different
devices checking their respective
control telltales.
CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, they indicate a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.
WARNING!
Do not travel downhill with the
engine off, as the servo brake will no
longer function due to the vacuum
decrease and thus after a few braking
attempts, the system becomes totally
inefficient. The power steering will
also lose its efficiency under these
conditions.
Onboard Diagnostic System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the

exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
Position of the Diagnostic Connector
The diagnostic connector is positioned
underneath the dashboard, next to
the hood opening lever. It can be
accessed without removing any cover.
Cruise Control (CC)
The CC enables the driver to maintain
the desired vehicle speed without
pressing the accelerator pedal,
reducing driving fatigue on highways,
especially long trips, as the set speed is
automatically maintained. A firm press
on the accelerator pedal or the
braking pedal will temporarily
deactivate the cruise control function.
CAUTION!
The device can only be switched on at
speeds exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h)
and it switches off automatically when
the brake pedal is pressed or when a
speed of 125 mph (200 km/h) is
exceeded.
WARNING!
The Cruise Control function must only
be activated when traffic and the
route permit a constant speed to be
maintained safely for a sufficiently
long distance.
Controls
The controls of the CC are located on
the multifunction lever, on the left
side of the steering wheel.
• The innermost ON/OFF switch has
two positions:
OFF: the CC is deactivated;
ON: the CC is active. When the CC is
activated, the
green warning
light on the display illuminates
together with the message “Cruise
control on”.
• The rotating section in the middle of
the left multifunction lever is used to
store the vehicle speed, to keep it
constant or to increase or decrease
the speed stored. Turn the rotating
section to position "+" to save the
speed reached or to increase the
speed stored. Turn the rotating
section to position "–" to decrease

that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
General Information
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure according to the vehicle
recommended cold pressure indicated
on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure”
in section “Features and
Specifications” and on the label
applied on the driver's side at the base
of the rear door pillar.
The cold tire inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check “Tires – General Information” in
section “Driving” for information on
how to properly inflate the tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as
the vehicle is driven - this is normal
and there is no adjustment required
when this occurs.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure if the tire pressure falls
below the low-pressure warning limit
for any reason, including lowtemperature effects and natural
pressure loss of the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the
driver of low tire pressure as long as
the condition persists and will not turn
off until the tire pressure is equal or
above the recommended cold
inflation pressure.
The TPMS monitors the tire pressure
by means of special sensors fitted
inside the wheel rims, in position with
the inflation valve.
These sensors transmit a signal that is
detected by the antenna integrated in
the ECU.
The ECU processes this information
and, via the CAN line, transmits a
series of tire pressure data and system
errors, if any, to the instrument cluster.
The display may show the information
received by means of specific screen
pages, which can be recalled by
pressing briefly the "MODE" button
(see "TFT Display: Controls" in chapter
"Instrument Cluster" of the section
Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warning
have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may occur when
using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or

style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use
aftermarket tire sealants or balance
beads, as damage to the sensors may
result.
• The system can temporarily
experience radio-electric interference
emitted by devices using similar
frequencies.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem and damage the TPMS internal
sensor.
NOTE:
•Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and may lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
•The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gage, even if
under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the
TPMS light
.
•Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS
will monitor the actual tire pressure
in the tire.
Viewing Messages on the
Display
By pressing repeatedly the “MODE”
button of the control panel on left
side of the steering column, the user
can access the information page that
shows the pressure values of each tire
(“Tire Pressure” screen page: see
paragraph "TFT Display: Screen Pages"
in chapter "Instrument Cluster" of
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
If system faults or low pressure is
detected on a not indentified tire,"Check Tire Pressure" or "TPMS
Malfunction" pop-up message will be
displayed for 10 seconds. The
amber warning light will
permanently illuminate on the right
side of the instrument cluster display.
With a malfunction detected, the "Tire
Pressure" screen page will not be
available while will be available the
calibration screen page.
The “Tire Pressure” screen page
becomes available again, until the
malfunction is corrected.
Low Tire Pressure Conditions
The signal transmitted by the ECU
activates messages and symbols on the
TFT display with two priority levels
corresponding to the following
thresholds:
• Soft Warning: if the pressure is 10%
lower than the rated pressure;
• Hard Warning: if the pressure is 17%
lower than the rated pressure.
The system refers to the rated pressure
acquired after calibration.
The two alarm thresholds for
monitoring the tire pressure
respectively activate the following
alerts:
• “Check tire pressure” illuminates on
the display when the pressure of one
Driving
5
186

or more tires falls below the
low-pressure alarm threshold (Soft
Warning). The tire with its low
pressure value will be highlighted in
amber color for 30 seconds.
• The tire with its low pressure value
in amber color, the message “Low
inflation pressure tire” and "Do not
drive on" in rolling mode with the
amber warning light always on
activates when the pressure of one
or more tires is below the minimum
pressure alarm threshold (Hard
Warning).The TPMS screen page is displayed for
30 seconds and then the screen page
that was previously displayed
reappears. If the malfunction persists,
the TPMS screen page shown in the
picture will be automatically displayed
for 30 seconds the next time the
engine is started.
The driver can call up the TPMS screen
page at any time to display which tires
have low pressure.
Occasionally, the system may not
detect which wheel signals a
malfunction. If this is the case, then
only the message “Check tire
pressure” will be displayed on the TFT
display.
Punctured Tire
When the instrument cluster receives a
signal from the tire pressure ECU
indicating that the pressure level of
one or more tires is below the alarmthreshold or there is a sudden pressure
loss (punctured tire). The
amber
warning light will permanently
illuminate on the instrument cluster
and screen pages shown in the picture
will alternate on the display for 30
seconds: then the screen page that
was previously displayed reappears on
the TFT display.
If the malfunction persists, the display
will show these screen pages for 30
seconds every time the key in the
ignition switch is subsequently turned
back toMAR (ON)position.
These screen pages will be displayed
until the situation is corrected and the
system is calibrated again as required
by the system.
System Not Calibrated
The system must be calibrated:
• after replacing one or more tires;
Driving
5
187

• after inverting the wheels;
• if you are not sure whether at least
one of the operations above was
performed.
If you simply corrected the tire
inflation pressure, you do not need to
recalibrate the system.
In the event that the system has not
been calibrated or calibration has been
performed incorrectly and following
replacement or reversal of one or
more tires, the
amber warning light
will flash for 85 seconds on instrument
cluster, and the TFT display will show
screen page with dashes “--,--” in the
place of the pressure levels of each
tire.
When the TPMS display cycle ends (30
seconds), the car symbol with message
will disappear and reappears the
screen page that was previously
displayed will reappear: the
amberwarning light remains on until the
system has been calibrated.
To calibrate the system, select the
screen page “TPMS calibration” by
pressing the “MODE” button. A
message will tell you to press and hold
button “+” to activate the calibration
procedure.
NOTE:
The TPMS calibration operation is
possible even with the engine running
but the vehicle must be stationary
(0 mph-km/h).The system may take up to 10 minutes,
by driving at speed lying between
6 mph (10 km/h) and 80 mph
(130 km/h), to complete the process.
During this time the
amber symbol
and the message “Calibration
activated” will be displayed for 10
seconds.
During calibration, if the user recalls
the information page showing the
pressure levels of each tire, dashes
Driving
5
188

“--,--” will be displayed in the place of
the values.
NOTE:
•The system will not perform
calibration if the pressure is below 2
bar (29 psi).
•To allow the system to acquire the
sensors’s data, after the startup of
the car, if possible avoid to stop.
During this interval the TFT display
can show screen page with dashes
“--,--” in the place of the pressure
levels of each tire.
•If calibration is not completed within
10 minutes of driving the car, the
instrument cluster shows “TPMS
Malfunction” pop-up message and
“Tire Pressure” screen disappear. The
warning light remains light on.
TPMS Malfunction
Screen page shown in picture may
appear in the following cases:
• malfunction in the ECU
system/wiring;
• no signal reception by one or more
sensors due to malfunctioning,
broken or dead battery;
• ECU malfunction.The display procedure follows the
usual logic of malfunctions. Therefore,
after 30 seconds, the display will show
the screen page that was active before
the malfunction occurred.
In addition to screen page being
displayed, the
amber warning
light, which is permanently
illuminated on the instrument cluster,
will flash for 85 seconds, after which it
will remain permanently on until the
situation is corrected. The information
page that shows the pressure value for
each tire cannot be recalled.
Fuel Requirements
The engines are designed to meet all
environmental regulations and
provide excellent fuel economy and
performance when using unleaded
premium gasoline with an AKI octane
rating of 91 or above. AKI (Anti Knock
Index) is an average on the Research
Octane Number, RON, and the Motor
Octane Number, MON (RON + MON/2
gives you the AKI).
For vehicle top performance, use
unleaded premium gasoline with no
less than 93 minimum AKI octane
rating.
Poor quality gasoline can cause
problems such as hard starting,
stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before
considering service for the vehicle at
anAuthorized Maserati Dealer.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline
that contain detergents, anti-corrosion
and stability additives are
recommended. Using gasoline that
have these additives may help improve
fuel economy, reduce emissions, and
maintain vehicle performance.
