Maserati Quattroporte 2023 Rear-View Mirrors User Manual
Introduction
The Maserati Quattroporte is a luxurious sedan renowned for its sophisticated styling, strong performance, and cutting-edge amenities. Although my training data only extends up to September 2021, I can give you a general idea of rearview mirrors in luxury automobiles and what you may anticipate from the rearview mirrors on the Maserati Quattroporte.
The driver’s ability to see the traffic behind the vehicle clearly is greatly aided by the rearview mirrors. By enabling drivers to keep an eye on their surroundings and make wise judgments while driving, they contribute to increased safety. Rear-view mirrors have seen technological and aesthetic improvements recently. Rear-view mirrors in high-end vehicles like the Maserati Quattroporte frequently blend design and functionality. Typically, they are made to offer a larger field of vision, reducing blind spots and enhancing visibility. Some rearview mirrors in contemporary luxury vehicles include auto-dimming capabilities, which lessen the glare from the headlights of cars behind, ensuring improved visibility at night.
Rear-View Mirrors
External Mirrors
External mirrors can be adjusted electrically and are equipped with anti-mist resistors operated by the air conditioning system (see “Air Conditioning Controls” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The mirrors can be closed electrically and will yield in both directions in case of a collision. The external mirrors are electrochromic, which means, they automatically operate an anti-glare function by gradually shading as the light hitting the mirrors increases. The external rearview electrochromic mirrors work in conjunction with the internal rearview electrochromic mirror.
NOTE:
- The mirrors can be adjusted electrically only with the ignition device in ACC and RUN position.
- When the vehicle is started, the indicator light shown in the picture will momentarily illuminate in both outside rearview mirrors to let the driver know that the BSA system is operational. For more details see chapter “Blind Spot Assist – BSA” or “Active Blind Spot Assist – ABSA” in section “Driver Assistance Systems”.
The external of the rearview mirror support is equipped with LEDs, lighting up when the turn signals and vehicle entry/exit lights are activated. When the surround view camera system is installed, at the external bottom side of the rearview mirror is the side view camera (refer to “Surround View Camera System” in section “Driver Assistance Systems”).

Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror controls are located on the driver’s door trim panel. The power mirror controls consist of mirror select buttons and a four-way mirror control switch.
To adjust a rearview mirror, press either the L (left) or R (right) button to select the mirror that you want to adjust. The spin button will illuminate indicating the rearview mirror is activated and can be adjusted. Press the mirror control switch corresponding to the arrow indicating the direction of the desired movement. For optimal vision orientate the outside(s) mirror(s) in order to frame the adjacent lane and get a partial overlap with the visible image on the inside rearview mirror. Power mirror preselected positions can be reset by operating the Memory Driver Seat device. Check “Memorize the Driver’s Seat Position” in this section for further information.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the external side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your passenger side convex mirror could cause you to collide with another vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror to judge the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the external side convex mirror.
Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
This function provides automatic external rearview mirrors positioning, allowing the driver to view the ground area behind the front doors. The external mirrors will move slightly downward from the current position when the shift lever is shifted into reverse. The external mirrors will then return to the original position when the lever is shifted out of the reverse position. Each memory set of the driver’s seat (see “Memorize the Driver’s Seat Position” chapter in this section) corresponds to a mirror tilt position in reverse.
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be turned on and off using the MIA system, refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.
Folding Mirrors
By selecting this function on MIA the rearview mirrors automatically fold when the vehicle is locked by the key fob and when the power trunk lid (if equipped) is closed and locked by pressing 
the button on the right lower parts of the lid. When the vehicle and the trunk lid will be unlocked and the ignition device is set on ACC or RUN position, the rearview mirrors will automatically open in the position they had before the lock. The switch for the power folding mirrors is located between the power mirror switches.
Press the switch once and the mirrors will fold in; press the switch a second time to reset the mirrors to the standard position. There is a way to make external mirrors automatically fold/unfold.\
- If the function is available, it needs to be activated by MIA (refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”).
- If the mirrors are automatically folded after the last lock action, then they will automatically unfold when the ignition device is set on ACC or RUN position.
- If the mirrors were manually folded by the switch on the driver’s door panel, before a lock action, they will need to be manually unfolded to reactivate the automatic function.
CAUTION!
Never retract or open the mirrors manually: it could damage the power mechanism.
Internal Rearview Mirror
The position of internal rearview mirror can be manually adjusted, and is endowed with an accident prevention release system operating in the event of a collision. Internal rearview mirror is electrochromic: this glare function is automatically deactivated in reverse to ensure maximum visibility of obstacles.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean.
“Mirror Dimmer” Function
The auto-dimming function can be disabled or re-enabled by pressing the on/off button on the mirror base. Disabling this function will increase the reflectance of the internal mirror, increasing visibility at night. Typical case is at night when the auto-dimming can be excessive (low reflectance). Disabling this function will increase the reflectance of the internal mirror, increasing visibility.
