•Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
•Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the
size of the pedal area and interfere
with the pedals.
•Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
•Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
•Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.Tires
• Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
• Check the tires (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapter in section
“Features and Specifications”) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the
operation of exterior lights while
you operate the controls (see
“Lights” chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (see “Instrument Cluster”
chapter in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
Door Latches
• Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking of doors and trunk lid
(see chapter “Doors” and “Open and
Close the Trunk Lid” in this section).Fluid Leaks
• Check area under vehicle after
overnight parking for recent fluid
leaks (oil, fuel, etc.).
• If gasoline fumes are detected or
fluid leaks are suspected, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.

Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The indicator lights up when
the left turn signals or the
hazard flashers are turned on.
The indicator light will flash at
the same frequency of the turn signals
and is controlled by the left
multifunction lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will alert the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
Rear Fog Light Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the rear fog lights are
switched on.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Light (*)
This indicator light is
connected to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Under normal conditions, the
warning light should illuminate when
the key in the ignition switch is in
MAR (ON)position and should go off
as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressureof one or more tires is too low: the
related message will be displayed.
If the warning light flashes prior to
remain on, it indicates that the system
is temporarily unavailable.
This warning light illuminates even
when you calibrate the TPMS and
remains lit until the system is
calibrated.
Please refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in section
“Driving” for further information.
Telltales on Tachometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the tachometer and related messages
are visible for 10 seconds on the
central sector of the display, unless
otherwise indicated (see “TFT Display”
in this chapter).Anti-Lock Brake Light (*)
This light, and its related
message, indicate possible
malfunctions of the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS).
The light will turn on when the key in
the ignition switch is inMAR (ON)
position and may stay on for 4
seconds. If the ABS light remains lit or
turns on while driving, the Anti-Lock
portion of the brake system is not
functioning and requires service.
However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate
normally if the
indicator light is
switched off. If the ABS light turns on
while driving, or if it does not switch
on when the key in the ignition switch
is inMAR (ON)position, please visit as
soon as possible anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerin order to restore the
Anti-Lock brakes functions.
Seat Belt Reminder Light (*)
When the key in the ignition
switch is inMAR (ON)
position, the seat belt
reminder light will light up for
a few seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.

Warnings while Driving with CC
WARNING!
•When driving with CC activated, do
not shift to N (Neutral) position. It is
advisable to activate CC only when
traffic and road conditions permit
safe use of this device, that is: on
straight and dry roads, expressways
or highways, smooth flowing traffic
and smooth asphalt. Do not activate
this device when driving in town or
in heavy traffic.
•CC can only be activated at speeds
exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h).
•CC can only be activated in 4th, 5th
or 6th gear, depending upon the
vehicle speed.
•When driving downhill with the CC
activated, the vehicle may pick up
speed slightly exceeding the speed
stored, due to the change in the
engine load.
•In the event of malfunctioning or
failure of CC, turn ON/OFF switch to
"OFF" position and contact the
Authorized Maserati Dealer afterhaving checked that the relative
fuse is in proper working order.
•ON/OFF switch can be always left at
"ON" position without damaging
the CC. In any case, it is advisable to
deactivate the CC when it is not in
use. Turn ON/OFF switch to "OFF"
position to prevent any speeds from
being unintentionally stored.
