ESC System Operations
In order to prevent unstable driving
conditions, the ESC system may request
the transmission system to deactivate
gearshifting. The system handles this
request depending on the gear
engaged and on the rpm, and decides
whether to accept it or not.
Driving with Cruise Control
With the Cruise Control function
activated, the transmission system
selects such settings as to provide
enhanced comfort and fuel-economy.
MC Start Strategy (for MC version
only)
With the aim of optimizing standing
starts for performance driving (only
recommended for use in areas closed
to traffic and in accordance with the
Highway Code), the automatic
transmission system is equipped with
quick start strategy.
This strategy is activated when the
following conditions occur
simultaneously:
• AUTO and SPORT modes active;
•
ESC mode off;
• brake pedal depressed.In these conditions, the driver has the
possibility to accelerate and, keeping
the brake pedal depressed, keep the
vehicle standing until reaching an
engine speed between 2300 an 2500
rpm. Then, upon releasing the brake
pedal, have the best standing start
performance.
WARNING!
This strategy must only be used on
vehicles in areas closed to traffic, in
accordance with the Highway Code
and only by skilled drivers.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions
Transmission Failure
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, Transmission Limp Home
Mode will be activated. In this
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all.
CAUTION!
In these conditions, we recommendedthat you stop the vehicle and turn off
the engine for at least one minute.
When restarting the engine, the
self-diagnosis system may cancel the
malfunction, which will in any case be
recorded by the ECU.
A message and thewarning light
in the instrument cluster will inform
the driver about the transmission
failure.
In failure conditions, the transmission
shift lever can however be shifted to R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) and D (Drive)
position.
When shifting to D (Drive) position,
only a few gears will be available,
depending on the malfunction found.
CAUTION!
If a transmission failure is signaled,
take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealeras soon as
possible to have the problem
corrected.
If the failure is signaled when the
engine is started, it means that the
transmission ECU detected a fault
when the vehicle was last used. Also in
this case, take your vehicle to the
nearest Center of theAuthorized

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
Driving

the speed stored. Every time rotating
section is reset, the speed is increased
or decrease by approx. 0.6 mph (1
Km/h). Keep the rotating section
turned to vary the speed
continuously. When a new speed is
reached, it will automatically remain
constant.
• Button "RCL" at end of left
multifunction lever is used to resume
the speed stored.
NOTE:
•When the key in the ignition switch
is turned toSTOP (OFF)position or
ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF"
position, the speed stored is erased
and the system deactivated.
•The CC must be deactivated when
not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or
cause it to go faster than you want.
Always leave the CC off when you are
not using it.
Storing a Speed
Turn the ON/OFF switch to "ON" and
reach the desired speed driving
normally. Turn the rotating section in
the middle of the left multifunction
lever to "+" for at least 3 seconds and
then release it.
The vehicle speed is stored and the
accelerator pedal can be released.
The vehicle will proceed at the
constant speed stored until the brake
pedal is pressed.
If necessary, (for example, to pass
another vehicle), you can accelerate by
simply pressing the accelerator pedal.
Afterward, when you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will
return to the speed previously stored.
Resuming the Speed Stored
If the CC has been deactivated after
braking, the speed previously stored
can be resumed as follows:
• gradually accelerate until you reach a
speed close to that stored;
• engage the gear selected when the
speed was stored (4th, 5th or 6th
gear);
• press button "RCL".
Increasing the Speed Stored
The speed stored can be increased in
two ways:• by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached (turn
the rotating section in the middle of
the left multifunction lever for more
than 3 seconds); or
• by turning the rotating section to
position "+": each impulse
transmitted by the rotating section
will cause a slight increase in speed
(about 0.6 mph/1 Km/h), whereas a
constant pressure on the same
rotating section will cause a
continuous increase in speed. When
the rotating section is released, the
new speed will be automatically
stored in the memory.
Decreasing the Speed Stored
The speed stored can be reduced in
two ways:
• by deactivating the CC, pressing the
brake pedal and then storing the
new speed (turning the rotating
section to position “+” for at least 3
seconds); or
• by keeping the rotating section
turned to position “-” until reaching
the new speed, which will be stored
automatically.
Resetting the Speed Stored
The speed stored is automatically
reset:
