CAUTION!
When selling the vehicle, you should
contact the above mentioned Client
Service to have your device removed
from the list of activated devices
registered in your name. Do not
simply give your control unit password
to a new owner. To avoid improper
internet access in your name and
allow new owner registration you
must de-register with the service
provider. A new owner will not be
able to register the device if it still
appears registered in the prior
owner's name. If you are a subsequent
owner, the unit could be improperly
monitored (usage and location), if it is
still registered to a prior owner. Cargo Area WARNING!
To help protect against personal
injury, passengers must not be seated
in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo
space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers,
who should sit in seats and use seat
belts.
Vehicle Load Carrying Capacity The load carrying capacity of your
vehicle is shown on the vehicle
emission control label positioned on
the rear driver door's ledge.
The information indicated on the label
concerns passengers and luggage
loading operations. Do not exceed the specified Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR),
both front and rear.
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, and cargo.
The total load must be limited so that
you do not exceed the GVWR
indicated on the label.
Vehicle Loading WARNING!
• After loading the vehicle, before
driving, adjust the headlight beam
leveling using the specific regulator
(if available) as described in chapter

have an adverse effect on the way
the vehicle steers, handles and the
way the brakes operate.
• Never drive with the trunk lid open.
Exhaust gases can enter the
passenger compartment.
• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher
than the top of the seatback. This
could impair visibility or become

load floor able to accommodate large
sized equipment and objects (such as
the “Maserati Ski and Snowboard
Bag”) that may not fit within the
normal dimensions of the trunk.
NOTE:
Both seat backs can be reclined

Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener
models manufactured after 1982. Do
not use a garage door opener
without these safety features. Call
toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the

outside of the garage before you
begin programming.
For more efficient programming and
accurate transmission of the

recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device that is being programmed
to the HomeLink ®
system.
Before starting programming it is
necessary to erase the standard codes
memorized on the HomeLink ®
device
during the production phase. To erase
such codes:
• place the ignition device in the RUN
position without starting the engine;
• press and hold the two outside
HomeLink ®
buttons (I and III) until
the indicator light starts flashing
(after approximately 20 seconds);
• release the buttons. NOTE:
• Erasing the standard codes should
only be performed when
programming HomeLink ®
for the
first time. Do not perform this
operation to program additional
buttons.
