# MASERATI QUATTROPORTE – COMPLETE PROTECTION GUIDE
**Price in India**: ₹1.71 – ₹2.32 Crore (ex-showroom) | **Engine**: 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 (350–430 hp) | **Transmission**: 8-speed ZF Automatic
The Maserati Quattroporte is the original luxury sports sedan. For over 60 years, it has combined the soul of a Ferrari-derived V6 with the elegance of Italian grand touring. As a **CBU (Completely Built Unit) import** from Italy, your Quattroporte is packed with an advanced ADAS sensor suite that demands specialist protection .
At **Protint**, we provide hyper-luxury protection solutions tailored specifically for your Quattroporte.
> **⚠️ Critical for Quattroporte Owners**: Your Maserati is equipped with ADAS features including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Highway Assist (HAS), Traffic Sign Assist (TSA), Surround View Camera, and Rear Cross Path detection .
**DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD** – The camera and radar sensors behind the Trident badge are critical for these systems to function .
## ⚖️ SUN FILM LAWS – Your Quattroporte is Exempt
Your Quattroporte is an **imported CBU vehicle manufactured with factory-tinted glass**. As a high-end car manufactured outside India, it falls under the **OEM exemption** of the Supreme Court's 2012 ruling .
The Supreme Court ruled that 'The manufacturer of the vehicle may manufacture the vehicles with tinted glasses' . However, aftermarket films added on top of factory glass remain illegal .
### What This Means for You
| Scenario | Legality |
|:---|:---|
| **Factory-fitted tinted glass** | ✅ **Fully legal – DO NOT remove** |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades (Parked Only)** | ✅ **100% Legal** – remove while driving |
| **Aftermarket dark films** | ❌ Illegal – may interfere with sensors |
**Government Guidelines on Sun Shades**: These can be deployed when the car is parked, but must be removed while driving.
## ⚠️ CRITICAL: ADAS Sensor Suite – The Quattroporte's 'Eyes'
The Quattroporte uses a sophisticated network of sensors to power its driver assistance systems .
### Complete Sensor Location Guide
| Sensor Type | Location | Function | Protection Rule |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Front Camera** | Behind rearview mirror | Lane Keeping, Highway Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition | **NO FILM ON WINDSHIELD** |
| **Front Radar Sensor** | Behind front grille (behind Trident) | Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning | Precision cutouts; use non-metallic film only |
| **Blind Spot Radars (2)** | Inside rear bumper | Active Blind Spot Assist, Rear Cross Path | Precision cutouts; NO obstruction |
| **Surround View Cameras (4)** | Front grille, side mirrors, rear | 360° parking view | **NO PPF ON LENSES** |
| **Rear Camera** | Above license plate | Reversing guidance | **NO PPF ON LENS** |
| **Parking Sensors** | Front & rear bumpers | Obstacle detection | Precision cutouts for all |
### ADAS Features Powered by These Sensors
| Feature | Function | Sensors Used |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)** | Maintains safe distance using radar and camera | Front radar + front camera |
| **Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)** | Corrective steering to stay in lane | Front camera |
| **Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA)** | Detects blind spots, applies steering torque | Rear radar sensors + front camera |
| **Forward Collision Warning (FCW)** | Alerts of potential front collisions | Front radar + camera |
| **Highway Assist (HAS)** | Semi-autonomous highway driving (up to 145 km/h) | Front radar + camera |
| **Traffic Sign Assist (TSA)** | Reads speed limits | Front camera |
| **Surround View Camera** | 360° view for parking | 4 cameras |
| **Rear Cross Path** | Warns when reversing with approaching vehicles | Rear radar sensors |
### ⚠️ CRITICAL INSTALLATION RULES
1. **DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD** – The camera powers LKA, HAS, and TSA. The radar sensor behind the Trident is critical for ACC and FCW .
2. **KEEP THE TRIDENT CLEAN** – The radar sensor is located behind the Maserati badge on the front grille. PPF must have a precision cutout here .
3. **NO PPF ON ANY CAMERA LENS** – The Surround View System uses 4 cameras .
4. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR ALL PARKING SENSORS** – Front and rear ultrasonic sensors must remain uncovered.
5. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR BLIND SPOT RADARS** – Located inside the rear bumper.
**If Your Quattroporte Has Been in an Accident**: Have an authorised Maserati dealer verify sensor alignment. A misaligned sensor can result in ADAS systems not operating to specification .
## Why Paint Protection Matters for Your Quattroporte
The Quattroporte's elegant Italian design – with its distinctive grille, long bonnet, and sculpted body lines – makes it vulnerable to stone chips, parking scuffs, and daily driving hazards.

- *Magnetic sun shades for additional parked protection* – 100% legal option
### Phase 4: Sensor-Safe Installation – THE QUATTROPORTE DIFFERENCE
Given the Quattroporte's sensor suite :
- *NO film on front windshield* – Powers LKA, HAS, and TSA

**Critical Contaminants – Clean Immediately**:
| Contaminant | Action Required |
|:---|:---|
| Bird droppings | Clean off immediately – can etch through PPF |
| Tree sap | Clean off immediately – can stain permanently |
| Bug splatters | Clean off immediately – can leave permanent marks |

## Pro Tip for Maserati Quattroporte Owners
> *The Maserati Quattroporte is the original Italian luxury sports sedan – a vehicle that combines Ferrari-derived performance with elegant Pininfarina design. Based on the Quattroporte's ADAS sensor suite, legal exemptions, and genuine parts costs, here is your protection checklist:*
### Phase 1: Understand Your Quattroporte's Sensor Suite – CRITICAL
Before any protection work, understand that your Quattroporte has :
- **1 front camera** behind the windshield (LKA, HAS, TSA)
- **1 front radar sensor** behind the Trident badge on the front grille (ACC, FCW)
- **2 blind spot radar sensors** inside the rear bumper (ABSA, Rear Cross Path)
- **4 surround view cameras** (front grille, side mirrors, rear)
- **1 rear camera** (above license plate)
- **Parking sensors** (front and rear bumpers)
**Golden Rule**: **NO FILM ON FRONT WINDSHIELD** and **NO PPF OVER THE TRIDENT RADAR SENSOR**.
### Phase 2: Paint Protection – The 'Italian Flagship' Strategy
**Recommended for All Quattroporte Owners – Full PPF + Ceramic:**
- *Full-body Premium PPF* – Complete physical protection for the entire Italian sedan
- *9H Ceramic Coating over PPF* – Ultimate gloss, hydrophobic protection, UV resistance
- *Precision cutout for Trident radar sensor*
- *Estimated Cost: ₹1, 80, 000 – ₹2, 50, 000+*
### Phase 3: Legal Sun Protection – Your Quattroporte is EXEMPT
**Important Legal Note**: Your imported Maserati Quattroporte with factory-fitted tinted glass is **exempt** from the Supreme Court ban .
- *Do NOT remove factory glass* – It is compliant with Supreme Court orders
- *Do NOT add aftermarket dark films* – Could interfere with ADAS sensors
- *Magnetic sun shades for additional parked protection* – 100% legal option
### Phase 4: Sensor-Safe Installation – THE QUATTROPORTE DIFFERENCE
Given the Quattroporte's sensor suite :
- *NO film on front windshield* – Powers LKA, HAS, and TSA
- *Precision cutout for front radar* – Behind the Trident badge **MUST be unobstructed**
- *Precision cutouts for blind spot radars* – Rear bumper corners
- *NO PPF on 4 surround view camera lenses*
- *Precision cutouts for parking sensors* – Front and rear bumpers
### Phase 5: Genuine Maserati Accessories
- *Official Maserati Wheels (Mercurio, Crono, Urano, Titano)* – For the perfect OEM+ look
- *OEM Replacement Parts* – Available through authorised channels
- *Wheel ceramic coating* – Protect your investment from brake dust
### Phase 6: PPF Aftercare
**The Curing Process**:
- *Do NOT wash for 48 hours* after PPF installation
- *Do NOT use high-pressure water directly on PPF edges* – can cause peeling
**Critical Contaminants – Clean Immediately**:
| Contaminant | Action Required |
|:---|:---|
| Bird droppings | Clean off immediately – can etch through PPF |
| Tree sap | Clean off immediately – can stain permanently |
| Bug splatters | Clean off immediately – can leave permanent marks |
**DO NOT USE**:
- Automatic car washes with rotating brushes
- High-pressure water directly on PPF edges
- Harsh chemicals or degreasers
