Radio Frequency RKE
Transmitter - Regulatory
Information
The "Regulatory Information" for
all the radio frequency and radar
devices can be consulted by accessing
the section "Services" on the website
www.maserati.com .
Dual Clutch Transmission
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled 8-speed
Dual Clutch Transmission, which
automatically changes gear according
to the vehicle's instantaneous usage
parameters (vehicle speed, road
gradient and accelerator pedal
position).
It is possible to change gear manually
pressing the "D/M" (Drive/Manual)
button twice and using the shifting
paddles (+/-).
The two buttons on the central tunnel
replace the conventional mechanical
lever and have no mechanical
connection to the transmission. The
transmission is operated by electrical
actuators on the hydraulic system and
all commands to the control system are
transmitted by the CAN network.
The electronically-controlled
transmission provides a precise shift
schedule. The transmission electronics
are self-calibrating, therefore the
gearshift behaviour could become
perfect as expected after few
hundreds of km.
CAUTION!
In order to properly use the dual clutch
transmission, it is essential that you
read through the whole chapter, so
that you can understand right from
the start what the correct and granted
operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• When the vehicle has come to a
complete stop, it is possible to
engage P (Park) switching OFF the
vehicle moving the ignition device to
STOP .
• Shift into R (Reverse) or D/M
(Drive(Manual) only after the vehicle
has come to a complete stop and the
engine is at idle speed.
• Do not shift between R (Reverse) or
D/M (Drive/Manual) when the engine
is above idle speed.
•
To effect any change from
vehicle stop to R (Reverse) or D/M
(Drive(Manual), it is necessary to
keep the brake pedal fully depressed.
