headlights are still on. Then turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds.
The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
"0"). If you turn the headlights or
parking lights on, or place the ignition
in RUN, the system will cancel the
delay.
If you turn the headlights off ("0"
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off ("0" position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition in the OFF or ACC position.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC
System, see "MTC Settings" in
section 4.
SmartBeam™ System (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control ("Auto
Dim High Beams" function) through
the use of a digital camera fitted
behind the rearview mirror.
This camera detects vehicle specific
light and automatically switches from
high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle or the front
vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
• This function can be turned on or off
using the MTC System, refer to "MTC
Settings" in section 4 for further
information.
• If the headlights and rear parking
lights of the vehicle in the visual
field of the camera should be
broken, covered in mud or
obstructed, high beam headlights
will remain lit for longer, up to a
closer position of the oncoming or
foregoing vehicle. Dirt, impurities
and other obstructions on the
windshield or camera lens can cause
the system to function improperly.
• By replacing the windshield or
SmartBeam™ mirror, the
SmartBeam™ mirror must be
re-aimed to ensure proper
performance. Please contact
exclusively an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for replacement.
Understanding the Vehicle
Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
The lighting system uses the same
high or low intensity headlights LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
position or parking lights.
DRL lights will turn on when the
engine is running and the shift lever is
moved out of the P (Park) position.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
light on the same side of the vehicle
will turn off for the duration of the
turn signal activation. Once the turn
signal is deactivated, the DRL light will
light up again.
NOTE:
Depending on your Country's
regulations (for example: on Canadian
vehicles DRL are always on), DRL lights
may be turned on and off. Where the
regulations permit, the DRL lights can
be turned on and off using the MTC
System, see "MTC Settings" in section
4 for further information.
Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights
The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
