External Lights
External Lights Equipment
The vehicle is equipped with lighting systems and functions that depend on the type of equipment and the target market. Some of these are completely automatic, other can be switched on and off via the light switch and the multifunction lever on the dashboard, or via “Controls” and “Settings” menu of “Vehicle” page on MIA. This chapter only describes systems that may or may not be installed because of the various options available. For switching the external lights on and off via the light switch and the multifunction lever behind the steering wheel, refer to the chapter “Light Controls” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.
External Lights Cluster
The lights of the front clusters are arranged as follows:
- Low-beam/high-beam light: Bi-Xenon bulb 25W.
- Position and DRL light LED. Turn signal LED.
- Side-marker light LED.
- Side reflex-reflector.
Bi-Xenon Version
Full-LED Version
- Low-beam light LED.
- Position and DRL light LED.
- Turn signal LED
- Side-marker LED.
- Side reflex-reflector. Bending light LED.
- Matrix high-beam light LED.
- Position light guide LED.
- Stop and turn signal light LEDs.
- Side-marker LED.
- Reverse light LED.
- Rear fog light LED.
- Side reflex reflector LED
Integrated External Rearview Mirror Lights
LED turn signals are integrated on the support of the external mirrors.
The LED turn signal indicators flash simultaneously with the corresponding turn signal lights in the front and rear of the vehicle. Turning on the hazard warning lights will also activate these LEDs.
On the vehicles with “Surround View Camera System”, the external mirrors are equipped also with approach and courtesy LEDs, lighting up when the vehicle entry/exit lights are activated. See “Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section “Before Starting”
Bi-Xenon Headlight
The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights operate with an electric arc saturated with Xenon gas under pressure, instead of the incandescent filament. The light produced is assuredly higher compared to traditional light bulbs, in terms of quality (brighter light) as well as of the span and positioning of the illuminated area.
WARNING!
- If xenon headlamp replacement is necessary, contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer only: DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Full-LED Headlight with Cornering Function
These headlamps combine the cornering function to the “Full-LED” technology consisting of an additional LED module which turns on when two conditions occurs: the driver turns the steering wheel or the driver activates the turn signal. The cornering function will illuminate the corner to enhance the visibility to the driver as long as speed will be lower than 25 MPH (40 km/h).
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology creates headlights with a simpler construction and a more compact size compared to those equipped with traditional or Xenon light bulbs. Other advantages are:
- a clearer light beam, with a cool white tone that allows a better perception of the contrasts thus making the night vision more efficient and less tiring;
- a longer duration equivalent at least to that of the vehicle;
- a reduced current consumption.
These features positively affect some vehicle management economy aspects by eliminating/reducing the light
bulb replacements and help limit fuel consumption.
Automatic High Beam
The Automatic High Beam headlight control system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of the forward-facing digital camera located behind the rear-view mirror, which is the same one used for example by the Lane Keeping Assist – LKA system on vehicles with ADAS systems. This camera detects the environmental luminosity, the headlamps of oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps of proceeding vehicles in the front area. In these cases, the system automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. Furthermore, the digital camera is able to detect the urban areas and the inhabited centers and to turn off the high beams when driving near of one of them. The properly working for this function (if all the other conditions are met) is ensured between 21.7 MPH (35 km/h) and 155 MPH (250 km/h).
Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam function:
- Shift the multifunction lever onward
- Put the light switch in “AUTO” position.
- Touch the “Vehicle” soft-key on the main category bar of the MIA display and open the “Settings” menu.
- Choose the “Auto Dim High Beams” function in the “Lights” submenu and insert the check mark in the box to turn on the function.
- To turn off the function delete the check mark in the box.
After these steps, the green indicator on the upper right side of the TFT display comes on.
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the system to function improperly.
Automatic High Beam Failure
In the event of a failure of the high beam system, the related amber warning light will illuminate on the TFT display. Take your vehicle to the nearest Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible avoiding to use this system.
