Understanding the Vehicle

Memorize the Driver's Seat Position

This function allows the driver to store
up to two different memory profiles for

2

easy recall through a memory switch.
Each memory profile contains desired
position settings for the driver seat,
external side mirrors, adjustable pedals
( ), power tilt and telescopic steering
column and a set of programmed radio
stations.
Your key fob can also be set to recall
the same positions by pressing the
button.

NOTE:

• Only one key fob can be linked to each

of the memory positions.

• "Passive Entry" door handles cannot

be linked to the memory function. Use
either the memory recall switch or
the key fob (if linked to the memory
function) to recall memory positions 1
or 2.

The memory seat switch is located on
the driver's door trim panel. The switch
consists of three buttons:

• The "S" (SET) button, which is used to

activate the memory save function.

• The "1" and "2" buttons which are used

to recall either of two programmed
memory profiles.

Memory Profiles Setting

NOTE:

Saving a new memory profile will erase
an existing profile from memory.

To create a new memory profile, perform
the following:

• Cycle the ignition device to the ACC or

RUN position.

• Adjust all memory profile settings to

desired preferences (i.e., seat, side
mirrors, adjustable pedals ( ), power
tilt and telescopic steering column, and
radio station presets).

• Press and release the "S" button on the

memory switch.

• Within 5 seconds, press and release the

memory button "1" or "2".

• Check on the instrument cluster for

the positive response of the actions
"Memory 1 (or 2) profile set".

After these steps, the profile set will be
memorized in the selected position.

NOTE:

Memory profiles can be set without the
vehicle in P (Park), but the vehicle must
be in P (Park) to recall a memory profile.

Pairing Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter to Seats Memory

Your key fob can be programmed to
recall one of two programmed memory
profiles by pressing the button on the
key fob.

NOTE:

This function can be enabled or
disabled using the MIA system, refer to
"Functions of Settings Menu on MIA"
in section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls" for further information.

To program your key fobs, perform the
following actions:

• Cycle the ignition device to the RUN

position.

• Move the seat and/or the other

adjustable devices in the position that
you wish to memorize, or recall a
previously memorized profile, pressing
the corresponding memory button "1"
or "2".

• Cycle the ignition device to the OFF

position.

• Press and release the "S" button.

• Within 5 seconds, press and release the

memory button "1" or "2".

18

Understanding the Vehicle

• Press and release the button on key

fob.

• Within 3 seconds, press and release the

button on the key fob.

To check if the system has memorized
the correct profile, you can move the
seat and press the button: the seat
will move to the memorized position.

NOTE:

Your key fobs can be unlinked to your
memory settings by pressing the "S"
button followed by the button on the
key fob.

Memory Position Recall

NOTE:

The vehicle must be in P (Park) to
recall memory positions. If a recall is
attempted when the vehicle is not in P
(Park), a message will display in the
instrument cluster.

To recall the memory settings for driver,
press memory button number "1" or "2"
on the driver's door trim panel or the
button on the key fob linked to memory
position "1" or "2" with ignition device in
the RUN position.
A recall can be canceled by pressing any
of the buttons ("S", "1", or "2") during
a recall. When a recall is canceled,
the driver seat, external side mirrors,
adjustable pedals ( ), and power tilt

and telescopic steering column stop
moving.
A delay of at least one second will occur
before selecting a new recall.

Easy Entry/Exit Driver Seat

This function provides automatic driver
seat positioning to enhance driver
mobility when entering and exiting the
vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves
depends on where you have the driver
seat positioned when you place the
ignition device to the OFF position.

• When you cycle the ignition to the OFF

position the driver seat:

- will move about 2.36 in (60 mm)

rearward if the driver seat position is
greater than or equal to ca. 5.51 in
(140 mm) forward of the rear stop;

- will move to a position of ca. 3.15 in

(80 mm) rearward of the rear stop if
the driver seat position is between

5.51 in (140 mm) and 3.15 in (80 mm)
forward of the rear stop.

• The seat will return to its previously set

position when you place the ignition
into the ACC or RUN position.

• The easy entry/easy exit function is

disabled when the driver seat position
is less than 3.15 in (80 mm) forward
of the rear stop. In this position, there
would be no benefit to the driver by

moving the seat for Easy Exit or Easy

Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have an
associated easy entry/ exit position.

NOTE:

The "Easy Entry/Easy Exit" function can
be enabled or disabled using the MIA
system, refer to “Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for further
information.

2

the reflectance of the internal mirror,
increasing visibility at night.

External Lighting

External Lights Equipment

The vehicle is equipped with lighting
systems and functions that depend on
the type of equipment and the target
market. Some of these are completely
automatic, other can be switched on
and off via the light switch and the
multifunction lever on the dashboard, or
via "Controls" and "Settings" menu of
"Vehicle" page on MIA.
This chapter only describes systems that
may or may not be installed because of
the various options available.
For switching the external lights
on and off via the light switch and
the multifunction lever behind the
steering wheel, refer to the chapter
"Light Controls" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls".

External Lights Cluster

The lights of the front clusters are
arranged as follows:

Bi-Xenon Version

1 Low-beam/high-beam light: Bi-

Xenon bulb 25W.

2 Position and DRL light LED.
3 Turn signal LED.
4 Side-marker light LED.
5 Side reflex-reflector.

26

Understanding the Vehicle

1 Position light guide LED.
2 Stop and turn signal light LEDs.
3 Side-marker LED.
4 Reverse light LED.
5 Rear fog light LED.
6 Side reflex reflector LED

Integrated External Rearview Mirror Lights

LED turn signals are integrated on the
support of the external mirrors.

The LED turn signal indicators flash
simultaneously with the corresponding

turn signal lights in the front and rear
of the vehicle. Turning on the hazard
warning lights will also activate these
LEDs.
On the vehicles with "Surround View
Camera System", the external mirrors
are equipped also with approach and
courtesy LEDs, lighting up when the
vehicle entry/exit lights are activated.
See "Illuminated Entry/Exit" in section
"Before Starting"

Bi-Xenon Headlight ( )

The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure, instead
of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.

WARNING!

If xenon headlamp replacement is

•

necessary, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Full-LED Headlight with Cornering Function ( )

These headlamps combine the cornering
function to the "Full-LED" technology

consisting of an additional LED module
which turns on when two conditions
occurs: the driver turns the steering
wheel or the driver activates the turn
signal. The cornering function will
illuminate the corner to enhance the
visibility to the driver as long as speed
will be lower than 25 MPH (40 km/h).

"Full-LED" Technology

This technology creates headlights
with a simpler construction and a
more compact size compared to those
equipped with traditional or Xenon light
bulbs.
Other advantages are:

• a clearer light beam, with a cool white

tone that allows a better perception
of the contrasts thus making the night
vision more efficient and less tiring;

• a longer duration equivalent at least to

that of the vehicle;

• a reduced current consumption.

2

27

Understanding the Vehicle

These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light
bulb replacements and help limit fuel
consumption.

2

Automatic High Beam ( )

The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of the
forward-facing digital camera located
behind the rear-view mirror, which is the
same one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles
with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of oncoming
vehicles and the tail lamps of proceeding
vehicles in the front area. In these cases,
the system automatically switches from
high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Furthermore, the digital camera is able to
detect the urban areas and the inhabited
centers and to turn off the high beams
when driving near of one of them.
The properly working for this function
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 21.7 MPH (35 km/h)
and 155 MPH (250 km/h).

Activation Mode

To activate Automatic High Beam
function:

• Shift the multifunction lever onward

.

• Put the light switch in "AUTO" position.

• Touch the "Vehicle" soft-key on the

main category bar of the MIA display
and open the "Settings" menu.

• Choose the "Auto Dim High Beams"

function in the "Lights" submenu and
insert the check mark in the box to turn
on the function.

• To turn off the function delete the

check mark in the box.
After these steps, the green indicator on
the upper right side of the TFT display
comes on.

NOTE:

• The function is enabled only if the

brightness sensor detects the right

lighting conditions and then switch to
low beam on.

• Broken, muddy, or obstructed

headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.

Automatic High Beam Failure

In the event of a failure of the high beam
system, the related amber warning light
will illuminate on the TFT display.
Take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible avoiding to use this system.

Preventing Inadvertent Locking of the Key fob Inside the Vehicle

To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob inside
your vehicle, the "Passive Entry" system
is equipped with an automatic door
unlock function which will function if the
ignition device is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch is used to lock
the vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed, the system checks the
inside and outside of the vehicle for any
valid key fobs.

If one of the vehicle's key fobs is
detected inside the vehicle, and no other
valid key fobs are detected outside
the vehicle, the "Passive Entry" system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob will be locked in
the vehicle). This will happen even on
vehicles equipped with power trunk lid
pressing RH button
part to close and lock the trunk lid.

The vehicle automatically unlocks
the doors under any of the following
conditions:

• the doors are manually locked using

the door lock knob positioned on the
door panel;

• there is a valid key fob inside the

vehicle;

• there is not a valid key fob outside the

vehicle.

NOTE:

The vehicle will not automatically unlock
the doors under any of the following
conditions:

• the doors are locked using the key fob;

• the doors are locked using the button

on the "Passive Entry" door handles;

• there is a valid key fob outside the

vehicle and within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either
"Passive Entry" door handle;

• fifteen attempts are made to lock the

doors using the door panel switch
and/or the RH button (on the right
lower part of the trunk lid) and then
close the doors.

If the key fob is inside the passenger
compartment and one of the doors
locked only to the first detent of lock
pawl (hence it is not fully closed), when
the vehicle lock function with alarm
system for trunk lid and doors is being
activated by means of RH button at

the bottom of the trunk lid, said function
will be activated all the same.
In this condition, any attempt to duly
close the door that is partially open will
cancel vehicle lock and alarm system
arming thus leaving vehicle unlocked.
Since when the doors are locked, the
"Passive Entry" system waits for about
16 seconds before verifying if a key fob

temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
When it is not necessary to open the

•

power trunk lid with the "Hands Free"
mode, make sure the key fob results
outside the range of use (3.3 ft/1 m).
Otherwise, the power trunk lid/Hand
Free can be opened accidentally by an
unintentional movement of the foot.

In order for the sensors to detect your
foot movement, move your foot towards
the vehicle rather than sideways and
immediately pull it back: from this
moment, the power trunk lid will activate
within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid will:

• unlock and completely open;

• after another kick, will stop;

• after another kick, will reverse its

movement and completely close unless
stopped again.

If open, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid will:

• completely close but not lock;

• another kick before the completed

closing can stop the movement;

• if the movement was stopped another

kick operation will invert a complete
opening.

72

Before Starting

NOTE:

• If your foot movement fails to activate

the power trunk lid movement,
wiggling your foot under the bumper
will not help. Repeat the whole kick
movement.

• In particular situations, external factors

affecting the sensor area may trigger
the "Hands Free" power trunk lid
release function. For example, when
washing the vehicle, a water jet aimed
at the sensor area may trigger the
“Hands Free” power trunk release
function. Keep the key fob away from
the sensing range of the sensors (10
ft/3 m) or disable the "Hands Free"
function from the MIA menu (see
“Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). A key fob located in the
front seat passenger area is considered
out of range of the “Hand Free” trunk
release sensor

• If somebody or something knocks

against the power trunk lid while it is
moving, the safety system might stop
lid opening or closing movement.

Trunk Lid Emergency Release

To access the trunk compartment from
the rear seats, operate the emergency
release lever pulling tab between the
seatback and the bolster in order to
lower the rear seat backrest (see "Cargo

Area" in section “Understanding the
Vehicle”). Release the trunk lid from
inside by pulling on the phosphorescent
handle ( : chapter “Trunk Safety” in
section "Safety").
If the power release control fails to
operate by either the key fob or by
pressing the button on the dome
console, the vehicle battery could be
depleted or disconnected. If the doors
are still locked, use the emergency
mechanical key inserted in the driver’s
door lock to enter the vehicle and open
the hood.
In this condition, it is possible to
temporarily power the system by using
the battery remote poles located inside
the engine compartment (see “Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency”). Then it is possible to
normally unlock and open the trunk lid by
using the key fob or the button on the
dome console. Have the vehicle checked
by an Authorized Maserati Dealer in
order to solve the failure.

Hood Operation

Opening

Two latches must be released to open
the hood.

• From inside the vehicle, pull the hood

release lever located under the left
lower side of the dashboard.

3

• Move to the outside and stand in front

of the vehicle front grille.

• Slightly lift the hood and push the

safety catch as indicated by the arrow.

73

Before Starting

The safety catch is located in the
center of the hood.

3

• Lift the hood completely: this operation

is facilitated by two gas struts keeping
the hood in the fully open position.

With the ignition switch in RUN position,
the red symbol will display on the
instrument cluster with the message
indicating that the hood is open.

Closing

Lower the hood, and then drop it. This
should secure the inclusion of both
latches.

CAUTION!

To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it.

WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the lid is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle
is in motion and block your vision.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious injury or death.

Gear shifting is always active and may

•

be performed even when one or more
doors, the hood or the trunk lid are
open. Therefore, in these conditions,
take great care to avoid moving
the transmission shift lever and so
accidentally engage gears.

WARNING!
Gear shifting is always active and may
be performed even when one or more
doors, the hood or the trunk lid are
open. Therefore, in these conditions,
take great care to avoid moving
the transmission shift lever and so
accidentally engage gears.

the speedometer, and related messages
are visible for 5 seconds on the central
sector of the display, unless otherwise
indicated (see "TFT Display" paragraph
in this chapter).

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) is part of an onboard

diagnostic system that monitors
engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
Under normal conditions, this indicator
light should switch on when the ignition
device is in RUN position and switch off
soon after the engine is started (the MIL
does not shut off immediately).

88

Dashboard Instruments and Controls

This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator remains
lit or switches on while driving, there is
a failure in the fuel supply/ignition and
emission control systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high consumption
levels.
Should this occur, proceed with caution
to your Authorized Maserati Dealer
without heavy throttle application or
driving at high speeds.
Obey all applicable local traffic
regulations.
The indicator light will go out if the
problem is no longer present. The error
will be registered by the system in any
case.

CAUTION!

When the ignition device is in the RUN

•

position and if the indicator light does
not switch on or if it switches on
while driving, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
Prolonged driving with the MIL on

•

could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect fuel
economy and drivability. If the MIL is
flashing, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss may occur.

Immediate service is required. In
addition, the On-Board Diagnostics
(OBDII) system incorporates a
diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced using diagnostic equipment.
This makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control
unit, together with a set of specific
parameters for the engine operation
diagnostic cycle, for compliance with
CARB & EPA OBDII regulations.

Left Turn Signal Indicator Light

This 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 stalk switch
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 fast rate,
check for a defective exterior light LED.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Light

This warning light is connected

to the Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS).

Under normal conditions, the
warning light should illuminate when the

ignition device is in RUN and should go
off once the engine is started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressure
of one or more tires is too low and a
message will be displayed.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
connected to the low tire pressure
monitoring light.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the monitoring light and the related
message will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain lit.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle startups as long as
the malfunction lasts.
When the malfunction warning lights up,
the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure correctly.
For further information, : chapter
"Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)" in section "Safety".

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Malfunction Warning Light

This warning light, and its related
message, indicate possible

malfunctions of the Anti-Lock
