Driving
Normal Starting of the
Engine
WARNING!
It is dangerous to run the engine in an
enclosed area. The engine consumes
oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic
gases in the atmosphere.
When doors are opened, the
instrument cluster displays the
Maserati Logo in the center and the
complete odometer plus the open
doors indicator
in the lower part of
the cluster.
Before starting the engine, close the
doors, adjust your seat, the inside and
outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt
and instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) or
N (Neutral) position before you can
start the engine. Apply the brakes
before shifting into any driving gear
(see “Automatic Transmission” in this
section).
CAUTION!
• Before starting the engine, switch
off the electrical devices with a high
power consumption (air-conditioning
and heating system, heated rear
window, headlights, etc.).
• Do not start the engine if the fuel
level in the tank is low.
The keyless ignition allows the driver
to operate the ignition switch by
pushing the center button, as long as
the key fob RKE transmitter is within
the passenger compartment (check
“Keys” in section “Before Starting” for
further information).
By pressing the brake pedal and
pushing the
START/STOP button
the engine starts. Instrument cluster
displays the initial sequence with
warning light and analog instruments
test routine and switch-on of the
engine temperature indicators and
fuel level. This happens if option “On”
was set in screen settings for display
switch-on (see chapter “Instrument
cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
The current display subsequently sets
up with the latest screenshot.
If the engine fails to start, the starter
will disengage automatically after
10 seconds. If you wish to stop the
cranking of the engine prior to
starting it, press the button again.
