Starting and Driving
NOTE:
The GSI system works when the
transmission is set in M (Manual) or D
(Drive) mode, except when in CORSA
mode.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions
Transmission Emergency Control
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, "Transmission Limp Home
Mode" will be activated. In this situation,
the transmission may operate only in
certain gears, or may not shift at all.
Vehicle performance may be severely
degraded and the engine may stall.
In some situations, the transmission
system may not re-engage if the engine
is turned off and restarted.
A message in the instrument cluster will
inform the driver about the more serious
transmission conditions, and indicate
what actions may be necessary.
Transmission Oil Over Temperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, the
amber warning light illuminates on the
instrument cluster.
In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level (the
light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend to
stop the vehicle, shift the transmission
in P (Park) or N (Neutral) mode and
keep the engine idle until the amber
temperature warning light turns
off and the message disappears from
the display. Resume driving without
demanding high engine performance.
If the amber warning light turns on
again, it is advisable to stop the vehicle,
turn off the engine and wait for the
engine/transmission assembly to fully
cool down.
If the instrument cluster message
indicates that the transmission may
not re-engage after engine shutdown,
perform the following procedure
preferably at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park)
mode, if possible.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds.
• Restart the engine.
•
Shift the transmission into D (Drive)
mode and then into the desired gear
range. If the problem is no longer
detected, the transmission will return to
normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an Authorized
Maserati Dealer at your earliest possible
convenience, which has diagnostic
equipment to determine if the problem
could reoccur.
