Electronic suspensions (optional)
Fault signals
When driving the car, if one or more of
the electrical components in the
system is malfunctioning, alongside
the switching on of the warning light
on the multi-function display,
the electronic control unit checks that
the shock absorbers are set to a pre-
established calibration, which permits
a safe car set-up.
Should the fault involve one shock
absorber only, this is no longer
controlled by the electronic control
unit and remains in the position it had
when the fault occurred. It is therefore
possible for one of the four shock
absorbers to work with a fixed setting,
different from that of the other ones.
In any case, a safe and secure car
driving at low speed is always
guaranteed.
WARNING In the event of a
malfunction in the electronic system
controlling the suspensions, which is
indicated by the warning light
on the multi-function display
switching on while driving the car, you
should keep a moderate speed and
have the car checked as soon as
possible by the Maserati Service
Network.
If a problem occurs while driving,
indicated by the warning light
on the multi-function display
switching on, it is advisable to stop the
car when possible and turn the ignition
key to the STOP position and then re-
start the engine.
If the problem is no longer present and
the warning light
on the multi-
function display does not switch on
again, the electronic suspension
system will resume normal operation.
However, if the problem persists, the
warning light
on the multi-
function display will switch on again.
In both cases, the system must be
checked by the Maserati Service
Network.
The detected fault is memorized by the
electronic control unit and can be
diagnosed at the Maserati Service
Network even if it has disappeared
spontaneously.
