Instruments and Controls") there is a
malfunction in the Start&Stop system
and the engine cannot be switched off
and restarted automatically. To switch
off or restart the engine it is necessary to
push the START/STOP. Have the vehicle
checked at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.

Automatic Transmission

The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled 8-speed
automatic 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 and using the shifting paddles
(+/−).
The four button on the dashboard,
between the two central screens,
replaces the conventional mechanical
lever and has 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 behavior could become perfect
as expected after few hundreds of miles.
NOTE:
Entering the car, pressing the ignition
device in ON position, the engaged gear
shift button LED will turn on.

the engine is above idle speed.
• To effect any change from vehicle
