Maserati Ghibli 2023 Parking Camera User Manual
Introduction
With every new model introduction, Maserati continues to push limits and establish new benchmarks in the rapidly developing field of automotive technology. For the year 2023, the luxury sedan Maserati Ghibli, which is renowned for its style and power, has received a considerable makeover. The sophisticated parking camera system is one of its notable additions among its many cutting-edge features. Even for the most experienced drivers, navigating through congested metropolitan streets or parking in small spots can be challenging. Maserati has given the Ghibli an advanced parking camera system that improves safety, convenience, and peace of mind in response to this problem.
The Maserati Ghibli 2023’s parking camera system makes use of cutting-edge technology to present a thorough view of the area around the car. The driver can see the surroundings clearly and accurately thanks to a number of high-definition cameras that are carefully positioned all around the vehicle. The parking camera system assists drivers in precisely and confidently navigating parking spaces thanks to the integration of cutting-edge sensors and clever algorithms. The technology offers precise trajectory forecasts and real-time guidance by showing dynamic guidelines that change according to the position of the steering wheel on the infotainment screen of the car.
Parking Camera
Your vehicle can be equipped with a rear parking camera that allows you to see an image on the MIA screen of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into R (Reverse). When “Parkview Backup Camera Delay” mode is enabled, the rear view image shall be displayed for up to 10 seconds after shifting out of R (Reverse). To assist the driver during maneuvers on dead-ends/roads and on intersections, the vehicle may be equipped with an optional surround view camera system. In this case, the rear parking camera
is integrated into the surround view camera system. In both configurations (rear parking camera only or surround view camera system), you can always monitor the rear view. For more details on this option, see chapter “Surround View Camera System” in this section. The image will be displayed along with a caution note to “Check Entire Surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The rear parking camera is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
When the shift lever is shifted out of R (Reverse), the rear camera mode is exited and the navigation or audio screen appears again. When displayed, dynamic grid lines (if the function is set to MIA through the “Settings” menu of the “Vehicle” page) will illustrate the width of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver. The dynamic grid lines will show separate zones in different colour that will help indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. The following table shows the approximate distances for each zone and color:
| Zone | Distance to the Rear of the Vehicle |
| Red | 11 – 12 in (28 – 30 cm) |
| Yellow | 12 – 78 in (30 cm – 2 m) |
| Green | 78-157 in (2 – 4 m) or greater |
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when reversing even when using the rear view camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before reversing. You are responsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to be careful while reversing. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
- To avoid vehicle damage, the rear camera should only be used as a parking aid, as the rear camera is unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive path.
- To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using the rear camera to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the driver looks frequently over his/her shoulder when using the rear camera.
NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any other substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.
Surround View Camera System (OPT)
System components
The system uses four cameras to monitor the area around the vehicle, placed on the front grid, under the side rearview mirrors and on the trunk lid, between the number plate lights.
When the shift lever is shifted to R (Reverse) position, the top view and the rear view of the surrounding area will be automatically displayed on MIA display. Image will be displayed with active guidelines while in that gear as long as vehicle speed remains lower than 8 MPH (12 km/h). When vehicle is shifted into a different gear, the image will remain displayed for 10 seconds, or vehicle is shifted in P (Park), or until vehicle speed exceeds 8 MPH (12 km/h), at which point it will immediately cancel and return to the last-viewed screen. Instead, when the shift lever is shifted to P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) position, it is possible to activate/ deactivate the system by pressing “Surround Camera” softkey in “Controls” menu of MIA display.
Once the “Surround Camera” screen is displayed, it is possible to choose which images to display according to 4 possible settings.
Rear view and top view
Rear cross path view
Front cross path view
Front view and top view
In any shift lever condition, when “Surround View Camera” screen is displayed, a pop-up message will appear in the upper part for 5 seconds to advise the driver to check the surrounding area before any maneuver. With transmission in P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive), the upper right corner of the screen will show the “X” key: touch it to go back to the previous screen of MIA display, before entering in “Controls”. The deactivation of the rear visualization via “X” soft-key is not possible when the transmission is in R (Reverse) position. Choose the most suitable setting for the situation and the maneuver you are performing or going to perform, by touching the relevant button present under the images: the edges of the pressed button will highlight. The button will highlight and the type of setting will appear on each image.
In the top view, the vehicle is represented as it is during the maneuver (see example in the figure), therefore any open doors will be visible in the image. To display also the dynamic lines of the trajectory you are setting, it is necessary to set this function by accessing the “Settings” menu on “Vehicle” page of MIA, at “Safety & Driving Assistant” item, by using the dynamic gridlines
menu. Once this menu is displayed, it is also possible to set the function that delays the exit from this screen in special situations when the transmission lever is in D (Drive), N (Neutral) and P
(Park) position by using the surround view camera delay menu. For further information, see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.
