Indicators and warning lights

Stop lights failure

This switches on in the case of
a system failure or burning-
out of the stop lights bulb.

Twilight sensor failure

This switches on in the case of
a failure of the twilight
sensor.
Catalyst temperature too
high
This warning light comes on if
the engine runs irregularly with
consequent high temperature in the
exhaust system.
IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS
ACCOMPANIED BY THE
MESSAGE "HIGH CATALYSTS
TEMPERATURE SLOW DOWN": the
temperature of the catalytic
converters is too high. The driver must
slow down immediately until the
warning light turns off.
IF THE MESSAGE "EXCESSIVE
CATALYSTS TEMPERATURE DO
NOT DRIVE ON" APPEARS
AFTER DECELERATING: the
temperature in the catalytic
converters has reached a dangerous
level and the catalytic converters
could be damaged. Drive slowly to the
nearest workshop.
If the light turns on
permanently 3 times the
engine will stop. It will be
possible to restart the vehicle only
with a key-off / key-on cycle. Then
slowly drive to the nearest service
center.
Maserati declines all
responsibility for whatever
damage deriving from non
compliance with the above mentioned
warnings.
Power steering failure
This indicates a fault in the
power steering system.
Drive slowly to the nearest Maserati
Service Centre, watching out for the
stiffened steering.
Low engine oil level
Indicates that the engine oil
level is low; to check it see
