Advice
Road safety
It is advisable to learn to use the
various functions of the Multi Media
System before setting off, especially
the radio (e.g. storing the stations).
Setting a too high volume
may endanger the life of the
driver and other persons.
Therefore, always adjust the volume
to such a level that you can still hear
the surrounding ambient noises (e.g.
horns, ambulance and police sirens,
etc.).
Reception conditions
The reception conditions change
continuously while driving. The
reception may be disturbed in the
vicinity of mountains, buildings or
bridges, especially when you are far
from the transmitter of the station
you are listening to.
WARNING: Traffic information is
normally broadcast at a higher than
normal volume.
Care and maintenance
The Maserati Multi Media System has
been constructed to assure long-
lasting operation without requiring
any particular maintenance. In the
event of system failure contact the
Maserati Service Network.
Nevertheless, some care must be
taken to ensure full functional
efficiency of the Maserati Multi Media
System:
- The display is sensitive to scratches,
cleaning liquids and UV rays
- Should liquids penetrate the
system, it may be irreparably
damaged.
Clean the front panel and the
display using only a soft, clean, dry
and antistatic cloth. Cleaning and
polishing products might damage the
surface.
WARNING: Be careful not to knock
against the display with sharp or
rigid objects and avoid touching it
with your hands. When cleaning the
display, do not exercise any pressure.
WARNING: In the event of a
malfunction, the Maserati Multi
Media System may only be checked
and repaired by the Maserati Service
Network.
WARNING: If the ambient
temperature is very low, the display
will reach its optimal brightness only
after a certain period of operation.

System software update
When new software versions for the
navigation module of the Maserati
Multi Media System become available,
the system can be upgraded to
enable you to benefit from the
function management improvements
introduced.
The software upgrade is performed
by specialists of the Maserati Service
Network.
Compact Disc
If using the Audio Compact Disc
player, remember that traces of
dirt or marks on the CD may cause
jumping and poor sound quality. The
same occurs when compact discs are
unintentionally bent.
For optimal playing conditions, you
are advised to:
- Use only compact discs that carry
the trademark:
- Thoroughly clean the compact
discs with a soft cloth to remove
fingermarks and dust. Hold the CD
by the edge and clean it starting
at the centre working towards the
edge.
- Never use chemical products to
clean CDs (e.g. spray cleaners,
antistatic spray or thinners) as they
may damage the surface.
- After listening to a CD, put it back
in its sleeve to protect it against
marks or scratches, which may
cause jumping when playing the
CD.
- Do not expose compact discs to
direct sunlight, high temperatures
or humidity to prevent them from
deforming.
- Do not stick labels or write on the
recording surface of compact discs.
To take the CD out of its sleeve, press
in the centre of the sleeve and lift out
the CD holding it by the edge.
Always hold compact discs by the
edge. Never touch the surface.
To remove fingerprints and dust use a
soft cloth starting at the centre of the
CD working towards the edge.

New discs may be rough around the
edges. When playing these discs,
the CD player may not work or the
sound may jump. To smooth the edge
roughness use a ballpoint pen or
similar.
WARNING: Do not use the protective
film of commercial CDs or discs with
stabilizers, etc. since they might get
jammed in the internal mechanism
and damage the disc.
Notes on compact discs
Do not stick labels or write with
pencils and pens on the surface of
compact discs.
Do not use solvents, such as stain
removers, antistatic sprays or thinners
available on the market to clean
compact discs.
Do not use badly scratched, cracked,
deformed etc. compact discs. Using
such discs will lead to malfunctioning
or damage to the CD player.
Do not expose compact discs to direct
sunlight or any source of heat.

General information
Important warnings for use and
safety during road circulation
The Maserati Multi Media System
with Radio/Telephone/Navigator/
On-board computer permits user-
friendly control of the vehicle’s main
functions.
To avoid creating conditions that pose
a risk to you and other peole please
follow the below mentioned advice:

must be used keeping full control
over the vehicle. If you have
any doubts about the use of the
functions, stop to perform the
various operations.
- It is prohibited to use the mobile
phone in the vicinity of explosive
substances.
The navigation system helps you reach
your destination, indicating every
change in the route on the maps
stored on the hard disk.
In fact, when working out the
route, the system takes account of
all the road information stored and
advises you on the best route to
take. Nonetheless, it cannot consider
the traffic conditions, sudden
interruptions or any other problems.
The navigation system
assists the driver while
driving, providing advice
and suggestions, by means of voice
guidance and graphic information,
for the best route to take for reaching
the set destination The suggestions
provided by the navigation system
do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for the manoeuvres
made through traffic while driving,
or from compliance with road
regulations and other provisions
regarding road traffic. The person
driving the vehicle is always and in
any case responsible for safe driving
on the road.
In any manoeuvre you perform,
always comply with the road
regulations whatever the advice
the navigation system provides.
Should you decide to go off the
recommended route, the navigation
system will work out a new route and
suggest it to you.
