Keys The vehicle is equipped with a Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node, to enter, start and
protect the vehicle.
Keyless Ignition Device This device allows the driver to
operate the ignition switch with the
push of a button, as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
is inside the vehicle.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
three operating setups indicated on
the outer ring. Pressing and releasing
the middle button, you can switch
from one setup to the next without
starting the engine, the switched on
indication will turn amber.
The engine will start by pushing the
center button START/STOP with the
brake pedal pressed and the device set
in any of the three operating setups. In case the ignition switch does not
change by pushing a button, the RKE
transmitter (key fob) may have a low
or discharged battery. If this occurs it is
necessary to replace the battery in
order to operate the ignition switch
(see “Requiring and Setting Additional
Key fobs” in this section).
It is still possible to operate the
ignition device using the key fob RKE
transmitter with discharged battery by
pressing the nose side (side opposite of
the emergency key) of the key fob on
the START/STOP button.Before Starting

Radio Frequency RKE
Transmitter - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio and radar frequency devices
can be consulted by accessing the
“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com.Remote Start System This system enables the key fob RKE
transmitter to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The
system has a range of approximately
300 ft (91 m). Obstructions between
the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate
from a normal distance, check for
these conditions:
• A weak battery in the RKE
transmitter. The expected life of the
battery is a minimum of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radio.
• Obstructions between the vehicle
and the Key Fob.Before Starting
