Closing the shutter improves the aerodynamics of the vehicle and also dampens the noise emitted from the engine compartment. The shutter mechanism is made up of 10 flaps, placed to the left and right of the central electrical actuator that controls their mechanically synchronized motion. Note that, after a battery disconnection or removal or replacement of the shutter actuator, the actuator will automatically perform an opening/closing cycle to selflearn the flap position. WARNING: Never attempt to move the shutter flaps manually. This could possibly cause damage to the AGS operation and personal injury © 2016 Maserati North America, Inc.

The Levante is equipped with two attaching points for the towing eye, one at the front and one at the rear. Make sure the following conditions are respected when the vehicle is to be towed: • Engine off • Ignition in “RUN” • Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) disengaged (see pg.19) • Gearbox in neutral position (see pg.18) • Select “Transport mode” (see pg.36) Passenger front A disabled vehicle should be transported on a flatbed truck. If a flatbed is not available, the vehicle can be towed with all four wheels on the ground. NOTE: Maximum speed of 30 mph and a maximum distance of 30 miles must not be exceeded to avoid possible transmission damage. NOTE: Never tow a disabled vehicle with its front wheels lifted. This will lead to damage of the transfer case due to insufficient lubrication. Never tow a disabled vehicle using a tow dolly for single axle towing. Attaching point for the towing eye is indicated by the arrows. The maximum work angle of the towing cable is 15°. Passenger rear WARNING! Must change air suspension setting to “Transport Mode” for loading and transport. (see pg.36) © 2016 Maserati North America, Inc.

Kick Sensor Option The buttons located on the outer edge of the left trunk compartment lining and shown in the figure can be used to completely close and lock the power liftgate. Also external button located on the lower side of the liftgate ledge. The system will only operate if the system acknowledges the presence of the key fob RKE transmitter within 2.3 ft of the power liftgate. Do not place your foot too close to the bumper or touch the underbody. In order for the sensors to detect your foot movement, move your foot towards the vehicle rather than sideways and immediately pull it back: from this moment, the power liftgate will activate within two seconds. NOTE: If your foot movement fails to activate the power liftgate movement, wiggling your foot under the bumper will not help. Repeat the whole kick movement. The power liftgate will be opened and closed only if the “Passive Entry” system acknowledges the presence of the key fob RKE transmitter.

It controls all the components of the air suspension system, including those that are part of the Skyhook continuous damping control system (accelerometers and damper control valves). Ride height sensors are used to control the whole air suspension system properly, each wheel has a dedicated ride height sensor, connected directly to the (ASCM). Ride height and driving speed The air suspension system provides five different ride heights for driving plus an additional one (completely lowered) to ease getting in and out of the vehicle. Right Rear • Off road 2 (+40mm) is the highest setting, useful during fording and in harsh off road trails. Due to stability concerns, this height is only available below 40km/25mph. © 2016 Maserati North America, Inc. Aftersales All rights reserved Reproduction or translation in whole or in part is not permitted without authorization from Maserati North America, Inc. Printed in USA • Off road 1 (+25mm) is the default height associated with the Off road drive mode. Ride height and drive mode automatically reverts to Normal above 90km/55mph. • Normal (reference height) is the default height for all other drive modes. • Aero 1 (-20mm) lowers the vehicle to enhance its aerodynamics, it is activated automatically above 130km/80mph and can also be activated manually. • Aero 2 (-35mm) is the only ride height that cannot be selected by the driver, being instead automatically engaged above 185km/100mph. • Park (-45mm) is the lowest setting and it is part of the easy entry/exit strategy. It is available below 24km/15mph and it is also activated automatically when the gear is shifted to P (this can be set via the MTC+). NOTE: The air suspension system is under permanent power supply and could possibly perform ride height adjustments to keep the correct vehicle ride-height even in key-off conditions. Standard air suspensions All Levante models comes standard with air spring suspension system with automatic level control and six different ride height levels. The system is always combined with Skyhook continuous damping control. Suspension is identified by the color of the four shock absorbers. 35 This mode must be checked for “ON” prior to loading vehicle on to the flat bed and unchecked to set to “OFF” after arrival to destination.

In order for the Start&Stop to activate, the vehicle must be stationary and the brake pedal adequately pressed. NOTE: if the brake pedal is not sufficiently pressed the Start&Stop may not function even if the vehicle is stopped. When the Start&Stop switches off the engine, the related light illuminates on the instrument cluster. As soon as the brake pedal is released, the engine turns on. While the vehicle is stopped, the shift lever can be placed in P (Park). Start&Stop Deactivated • When SPORT drive mode is activated. • When ESC drive mode is OFF. • When ride height is set to Off Road 1 or Off Road 2. • If it has been disabled through the main menu option.
