Use the Navigation System only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the Navigation System for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.

The Global Navigation Satellite System is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including the Navigation System.

System Care

Safe usage of the MTC+ System

Read all instructions in this manual carefully before using your system to ensure proper usage! Your system is a sophisticated electronic device. Do not let young children use your system. Permanent hearing loss may occur if you play your music or the system at loud volumes. Exercise caution when setting the volume on your system. Driving is a complex activity that requires your full attention. If you’re engaged in driving or any activity that requires your full attention, we recommend that you do not use your system.

NOTE:

Many features of this system are speed dependent. For your own safety, it is not possible to use the touch screen keyboard while the vehicle is in motion. Keep drinks, rain, and other sources of moisture away from your system. Besides damage to your system, moisture can cause electric shocks as with any electronic device.

Connections

Never force any connector into the ports of your system. Make sure your connectors are the correct shape and size before you connect. Any attached cable should be routed so that it will not apply any pressure to the connection and should not obstruct the driver operation.

Touch screen

Do NOT attach any object to the touch screen, doing so can result in damage to the touch screen. Do not touch the screen with any hard or sharp objects (pen, USB stick, jewelry, etc.) which could scratch the touch screen surface!

Safety Guidelines

NOTE:

It is possible to use a plastic stylus for press screen enabled devices such as a PDA and Pocket PCs. Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly on the screen! Use a clean and dry micro fiber lens cleaning cloth in order to clean the touch screen. If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened with a cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol, or an isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50. Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and directions.

GPS Navigation and Satellite Radio Antenna

The GPS navigation and satellite radio antenna is integrated into the fin on the roof of the vehicle. Do not place items on the roof around the roof top antenna location. Objects placed within the line of sight of the antenna will cause decreased performance. Larger luggage items should be placed as far from the antenna as possible. Do not place items directly on or above the antenna.

Some of these devices may cause electromagnetic interference with the GPS. If a degradation in the Navigation System is observed, turn the devices off, or keep them as far away from the GPS antenna as possible.

Other Electronic Devices

You may bring other electronic devices into your vehicle (e.g., PDA, iPod, etc.).

FAQs

Can I still voice text if my device is not listed?

We are constantly testing devices and updating our compatibility database. If your device is not listed, you may still be able to pair and connect your MAP supported device to a compatible MTC+ radio to see if all or most voice texting functions work. Check your device manufacturer if MAP is supported on your device.

Can I use voice texting while in my other Maserati vehicle?

The Voice Texting free text response feature is available only on MTC+ (sales code RA4) radio. Other Maserati vehicles do support hands free texting, but only with fixed responses.

My “Messaging” soft-key on the touch screen is White, but I can only use pre-formatted responses

The Voice Texting free-form voice response requires a subscription to the MTC+ Access Advantage package. (some devices will support pre-formatted responses, but not free-form. Refer to www.maserati.com for further details.)

Do I have to “train” my MTC+ Radio to my voice?

Maserati uses the latest voice recognition engine that provides good recognition without required training. This makes it easier for a passenger to also use the system.

Can a passenger voice text?

Yes, however, voice recognition microphones are optimised for the driver, so the system may have difficulty hearing the passenger; also, the system will use the currently connected device, so be sure your passenger isn’t sending texts to the wrong recipient.

Does Voice Texting work with accents?

Speech isn’t perfect. Technology isn’t perfect. While Maserati strives to use the latest voice recognition engine, the technology may have difficulty with strong accents.

Can I voice text my car?

The “Voice Texting” feature allows you to listen to, and reply to text messages (SMS) sent to your device by voice while in your vehicle.

How many pre-formatted replies are there?

You can respond with a set of up to 18 preset outgoing messages such as "I’ll

call you later.” Refer to “Voice Texting” paragraph in this chapter.

Can I use abbreviations and emoticons?

Of course! Just say the name of the most popular emoticon or abbreviation, e.g. smiley, frown, wink, & LOL.

Can I use text messaging if the “messaging” button doesn’t turn white?

Only MAP compatible devices will work with text messaging. If your device is compatible, the “messaging” light will turn white, after the device is Bluetooth®connected, and you will then be able to do hands free text messaging. The system will respond with “Sorry, I didn’t understand you” if you push the steering wheel phone

button and say a voice command for text messaging, when the button isn’t active (“white”).
