Automatic Start&Stop
System
The Maserati Start&Stop system allows
the engine to automatically switch off
when the vehicle stops and to restart
when the driver intends to drive. This
function helps reduce fuel consumption.
During the "Stop (AutoStop)" phase
the ignition is still on and all security
functions are available. In order for the
Start&Stop to activate, the vehicle
must be stationary and the brake pedal
adequately pressed.
NOTE:
If the brake pedal is not sufficiently
5
pressed the Start&Stop may not
function even if the vehicle is stopped.
When the Start&Stop switches off the
engine, the related light
on the instrument cluster.
As soon as the brake pedal is released,
the engine turns on.
While the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission can be placed in P
(Park) pressing the "P" button on the
dashboard. Releasing the brake pedal
will cause a recrank of the engine.
