Maserati Grecale 2022 Owner's Manual page 157

After starting the engine, the idle speed
is controlled automatically and will
decrease as the engine warms up.
Engine Start Failure
CAUTION!
• Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way. Moreover, unburned fuel could
enter the catalytic converter and once
the engine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
•
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain
a start from a booster battery or
the battery in another vehicle. This
type of start can be dangerous if
done improperly. See "Auxiliary Jump
Start Procedure" in section "In an
Emergency" for further information.
Flooded Engine Clearing
If the engine fails to start after you have
followed the described procedures, it
may be flooded. To clear any excess
fuel, move the transmission in P (Park)
mode. Press and hold the brake pedal,
push the accelerator all the way to the
floor and hold it, then press and release
the START/STOP button once. The
starter will engage automatically, run
for 10 seconds, and then disengage.
Once this occurs, release the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal, wait 10 to 15
seconds, then repeat the normal starting
of the engine procedure.
Driving with a Cold Engine
Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High-performance
driving should be avoided until the
engine temperature reaches 65-70°C
(149-158°F).
Engine Turn Off
• With the transmission in P (Park),
D (Drive) or R (Reverse) mode (see
"Automatic Transmission" in this
section) and vehicle standstill, press
and release the START/STOP button to
switch off the engine. A burst on the
accelerator pedal before turning off the
engine has no purpose and increases
fuel consumption.
• If the transmission is in N (Neutral)
mode and the START/STOP button is
pressed once, the instrument cluster
will display a "Vehicle Not in Park"
message and the ignition will remain
ON (CarWash mode).
Starting and Driving
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P (Park)
mode, as it could move.
NOTE:
If the ignition device is left in the
ON position and the transmission
is in P (Park) mode, the system will
automatically time out after 30 minutes
of inactivity and the ignition device will
switch to STOP position.
Engine Turn Off when in Automatic
Start&Stop
When the engine has been turned off
by the Start&Stop system, press and
release the START/STOP button. The
ignition device will return to the STOP
position and the vehicle is off.
"Panic Stop" Strategy
In panic conditions, with engine running,
the "Panic Stop" strategy can manage
the situation stopping the engine in the
following modes:
• Quickly pushing 3 times or one long
press of the START/STOP button.
• The engine stops and the transmission
moves in N (Neutral) mode under
specific RPM. When in stop conditions,
the gearbox moves automatically in P
(Park) mode.
