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

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”).

• Current audio (AM-MW-LW-SW/FM/ DAB-DAB+-DMB/AUX/SD) will continue to play when switching to a non-media type App.
• Current audio (AM-MW-LW-SW/FM/ DAB-DAB+-DMB/AUX/SD) is muted during SOS-Emergency Call.
• Device calls will mute all audio except for Navigator (Nav) prompts if guidance is currently active (audio will resume after device call is ended).
• All secondary incoming device calls will be treated similar to “call waiting” (except SOS-Emergency Call).
• Incoming calls received while entering a Navigator (Nav) destination (before pressing “Go”) will cancel the Navigator (Nav) entry. The user is required to start over when the device call has ended.

Your mobile phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s
audio system; the system will automatically mute your radio when using the MTC+ System Phone features. For customer support visit your Maserati local authorized dealership. MTC+ System Connect Phone allows you to transfer calls between the system and your mobile phone as you enter or exit your vehicle and enables you to mute the system's microphone for private conversation. The MTC+ System Phone is driven through your Bluetooth Profile” mobile phone. MTC+ features Bluetooth

technology - the global
®
“Hands-free
standard that enables different electronic devices to connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so MTC+ System Phone works no matter where you stow your mobile phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is turned on and has been paired to the vehicle's MTC+ Connect Phone. The MTC+ System Phone allows up to ten mobile phones or audio devices to be linked to the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile phone and one audio device can be used with the system at a time.

The phone steering wheel is used to get into the phone mode and
make calls, show recent, incoming, outgoing calls, view phone book etc. When you press the button you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a command.
Voice Command Button
The voice command
button on the steering wheel is only used for “barge in” and when you are already
in a call and you want to send tones or make another call. The button on the steering wheel is also used to access the voice commands for the MTC+ Voice Command features if your vehicle is equipped.

Operation

Voice commands can be used to operate the MTC+ System Phone and to navigate through its menu structure. Voice commands are required after most MTC+ System Phone prompts. There are two general methods for how voice command works:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mobile.”
2. Say the individual commands and allow the system to guide you to complete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command and then guided through the available options.
• Prior to giving a voice command,
one must wait for the beep, which follows the “Listen” prompt or another prompt.
• For certain operations, compound
commands can be used. For example, instead of saying “Call” and then “John Smith” and then “mobile”, the following compound command can be said: “Call John Smith mobile.”
• For each feature explanation in this
section, only the compound command form of the voice
command is given. You can also break the commands into parts and say each part of the command when you are asked for it. For example, you can use the compound command form voice command “Search for John Smith,” or you can break the compound command form into two voice commands: “Search Contact” and when asked “John Smith.” Please remember, the MTC+ System Phone works best when you talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone sitting a few feet/metres away from you.

Natural Speech

Your MTC+ System Phone voice system uses a natural language Voice Recognition (VR) engine. Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in phrases or complete sentences. The system filters out certain non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh.” The system handles fill-in words such as “I would like to.” The system handles multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence such as “make a phone call” and “to Kelly Smith.” For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence, the system identifies the topic or context and
8
91
MTC+ System Phone
provides the associated follow-up prompt such as “Who do you want to call?” in the case where a phone call was requested but the specific name was not recognised. The system utilizes continuous dialogue; when the system requires more information from the user it will ask a question to which the user can respond without pushing the voice command button on the steering wheel.

For example, if required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can press the button and say, “Send 3 7 4 6 #”.
