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
5
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).

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.
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
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.
