ESC system
The vehicle is equipped with the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) system,
which contains all the various control
systems in it: ABS, EBD, ASR and MSR.
ESC contains a model that supplies a
very accurate forecast of the vehicle’s
behavior. It is able to detect whether
the driver is about to lose control
of the vehicle. In this case it can
individually activate the brake calipers
and the engine control system in
order to create a torque that counters
the skid.
Activation
The ESC system is designed to
automatically activate every time the
engine starts; it can be overridden by
pressing button
A for approximately
2 seconds. In this case the warning
light
lights up on the dial and on
the display, and the latter displays a
specific message. To turn the system
back on, press button
A again. During
every stage of the operation, the
amber warning light
will flash on
the instrument panel.
Malfunction indicator
In the event of a malfunction, the
system is automatically deactivated
and it is not possible to reactivate
it. While the vehicle is moving, this
state is indicated by the illumination
of the amber warning light
on
the instrument panel and on the
multifunction display. The latter also
displays the message “ESC failure, go
to dealer”. When the engine is started
up, the system fault is indicated by
the illumination of the light
.
WARNING: In the event of a
malfunction and when
ESC is not
activated, the vehicle behaves as if it
were not equipped with this system: it
is recommended that you go to your
nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer
as soon as possible to have the system
checked.
WARNING: If you need to tow the
vehicle with two wheels raised,
make sure that the ignition key is in
position
STOP (OFF) . Otherwise, with
ESC activated, the relative control
unit memorizes a malfunction and
the warning lights
are activated
on the instrument panel and display,
requiring the assistance of an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to reset
the system.
WARNING: In low and medium
traction conditions (wet weather,
snow, ice, sand, etc.) you are advised
not to activate the
SPORT function,
even if ESC is activated.
WARNING: Travelling along high-
banked curves deactivates the system.
