2019 MASERATI GHIBLI AUX

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

recognise the connection to a player
outlet autonomously, by enabling
access to the audio functions
connected to this source.
This USB input
can be used for
data exchange and charge of the
connected source (refer to the MTC+
guide for further details).
Through this USB input is possible to
recharge the connected device for

or
an external audio source in the vehicle
for extended periods of time: extreme
temperatures and humidity can occur
in the vehicle.

and to the side of the vehicle. To move
the visor laterally, lower and release it
from its catch as indicated. By lowering the visor you can access
the courtesy mirror with incorporated
light illuminating automatically (with
the ignition switch in RUN ) by raising
