outside when the child-protection
locks are engaged (locked).
NOTE:
For emergency exit from the rear seats
when the child-protection door lock
system is engaged, manually raise the
door lock knob to the unlocked
position, roll down the window, and
open the door using the outside door
handle.
Soft Door Close System (if
equipped) This system makes doors easier to shut
without having to slam if you do not
get it closed the first time. It increases
the vehicle's safety and comfort, in
particular for children in the back seat,
it is not necessary to slam the door
and it also prevents the risk of
traveling with the door ajar.
The system uses a sensor to detect the
door ajar and an electric actuator to
close it. The sensor detects your
attempt to close the door and once
the latch catches the handle the
electric actuator pulls the door firmly
bringing the door to the fully closed
position.
During the soft closing phase
operated by the system, it is possible to intervene manually by opening or
closing the door.
If you are pushing the door hard
enough to close just like a regular
one, the system still works, but only to
check whether the door is properly
closed.
WARNING!
The system works properly if the ajar
door has a gap , between exterior
door panel surface and exterior
bodyshell surface in the latch area , of
max 0.23 in (6 mm). In the presence of
higher gap, the system is not able to
close the door with the risk of
travelling with the door not
completely closed.Passive Entry System The “Passive Entry” system is an
enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
press the key fob RKE transmitter lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• “Passive Entry” may be programmed
to on/off; see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
• If wearing gloves, or if it has been
raining on the “Passive Entry” door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower
response time.
• Access to the vehicle using “Passive
Entry” system may not work
properly in case of interference
caused by external sources such as
metal objects, mobile phones,
overhead power lines, antennas, etc.
In these cases, use the buttons of the
key fob RKE transmitter to open and
close the vehicle or the emergency
key, inserting it into the driver side
door lock.

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 Trunk
Lid/Hands Free will activate within two
seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop;
• after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will:
• completely close but not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement; • if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
NOTE:
• If your foot movement fails to
activate the Power Trunk Lid/Hands
Free movement, wiggling your foot
under the bumper will not help.
Repeat the whole kick movement.
• In particular situations, external
factors affecting the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power trunk
lid release feature. For example,
when washing the vehicle, a water
jet aimed at the sensor area may
trigger the “Hands free” power
trunk release feature. Keep the key
fob RKE transmitter away from the
sensing range of the sensors (10 ft/3
m) or disable the Hands free feature
from the MTC+ menu (see “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”). A key
fob RKE transmitter located in the
front seat passenger area is
considered out of range of the
“Hand free” trunk release sensor.
• If somebody or something knocks
against the Power Trunk Lid/Hands
Free while it is moving, the safety system might stop lid opening or
closing movement.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release If accessing the trunk compartment
from the rear seats, operate the
emergency release lever (see the
chapter “Trunk Safety” in this section)
in order to lower the rear seat
backrest (see “Cargo Area” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”). If the
power release control operated by
pressing the button on the dome
console fails, it may be that the
battery is critical. In this case, it is
possible to temporarily power the
system by using the battery remote
poles located inside the engine
compartment (see “Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency”). Then it is possible to
normally open the trunk lid by using
the key fob RKE transmitter. Have the
vehicle subsequently serviced by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer center in
order to solve the failure.Before Starting

the discharged battery. Booster cables
have positive and negative terminal
clamps and are identified by the
sheath color (red = positive, black =
negative).
