Low oil pressure (*)
Under normal conditions, the
warning light should
illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and should go off as
soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or
illuminates while driving, this indicates
a too low engine oil pressure. In this
case, turn the engine off immediately
and carry out the necessary checks.

If the problem persists, contact the
Maserati Service Network.
If it flashes, it indicates a failure of the
engine oil pressure sensor.
Tyre pressure (*)
This warning light is
connected to the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
In normal conditions, the warning
light should illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to MAR and
should go off as soon as the engine is
started. If the warning light remains on
or illuminates while driving, it
indicates a too low inflation pressure
of one or more tyres.

Indicators and warning lights
Low brake fluid warning
light (*)
It illuminates when the brake
fluid level goes below the minimum
level. If accompanied by a specific
message, it indicates an EBD system
failure. In this case, do not apply the
brakes suddenly, since this may cause
an early locking of the rear wheels.
Drive with the greatest care and have
the system immediately checked by the
nearest Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
If the warning light comes on
while driving, check the brake
fluid level immediately. If the
fluid level is below the minimum level
there could be a leakage in the circuit:
in this case, contact the Maserati
Service Network before continuing
your trip.
Defective ABS system (*)
It illuminates when the ABS
system is not functioning.
The normal braking system remains
operational, but it is advisable to
contact the Maserati Service Network
as soon as possible.
Seat belts (*)
This switches on when the
driver's seat belt is not
fastened or fastened improperly.
Airbag/pre-tensioner
failure (*)
This indicates that the pre-
tensioner and/or airbag system is/are
inefficient.
Turning the key to MAR, the
light comes on but it should
go out after a few seconds
with the engine running.
If the warning light stays on
or if it does not come on, or if
it comes on while driving,
stop immediately and consult the
Maserati Service Network.
