Maserati Quattroporte 2023 Internal Equipment User Manual
Introduction
A luxury sports sedan famed for its style, power, and craftsmanship is the Maserati Quattroporte. I don’t have detailed knowledge about the Maserati Quattroporte 2023 model’s internal technology, but I can give you a basic overview of the features and technology that are normally present in luxury cars of this quality. Remember that the following information is based on market trends as of my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021, and that real specs for the 2023 model could differ.
Infotainment System: The Quattroporte is anticipated to include a top-notch infotainment system with a big touchscreen display that gives access to features like navigation, media controls, and vehicle settings. Additionally, it might assist with smartphone connection via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Maserati and Bowers & Wilkins have a long-standing relationship, and the Quattroporte might come with an optional premium audio system made especially for an immersive in-car music experience. This system normally consists of a large number of speakers that are thoughtfully positioned all throughout the cabin to produce excellent sound quality. Expect a sophisticated climate control system with multi-zone capabilities in the Quattroporte. This enables various passengers to independently select their preferred temperature, ensuring maximum comfort for all.
Internal Equipment
WARNING!
Cellular phones, music players, and other handheld electronic devices should be stowed while driving. Use of these devices while driving could cause an accident due to distraction.
Electric Power Outlets
The vehicle is equipped with three or four 12 Volt (13 Amp) electric power outlets, one or two (if you use as power outlet the socket of the cigarette lighter) available for each front seat, one for rear seat passengers and one fitted in the trunk compartment. In vehicles equipped with “Smoking Kit” one of the front seat electric power outlets is replaced with a cigarette lighter. In vehicles with “Comfort Luxury” rear seats, there is an extra 12 V power outlet inside the rear console storage compartment and others in the rear of the reclining shelf between the seats. All power outlets are supplied only when the engine is started or the ignition device set to ACC or RUN. Power outlets are protected by a fuse. Insert an accessory plug into the power outlets to ensure proper operation. Otherwise, check the matching fuse integrity, see “If a Fuse Blows” in section “In an Emergency” for further information.
CAUTION!
- Do not plug in accessories that exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts.
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Damages caused by improper use of the power outlet are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
- Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
Replacing the fuses that protect power outlets with others of higher amperage, there is the risk of fire.
