Replacement Key fobs NOTE:
Only key fobs that are updated with
the vehicle electronics can be used to
start and operate the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from
the vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
• Always remember to cycle the
ignition switch to OFF.
Duplication of key fobs may be
performed
by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer only.
This procedure consists of
programming a key fob that has never
been programmed to the vehicle’s
electronics. NOTE:
• When having the Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer System serviced, bring
all key fobs provided with the
vehicle with you to the Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
• When selling the vehicle, it is
necessary to provide the new owner
with all key fobs.
Vehicle Security Alarm The vehicle security alarm monitors
the vehicle doors and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the
START/STOP button for unauthorized
operations.
The system includes a dual function
anti-intrusion sensor and vehicle
anti-lift sensor. The anti-intrusion
sensor monitors the vehicle interior
for motion.
The vehicle anti-lift sensor monitors
the vehicle for any lifting or tilting
actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery
backup which senses interruptions of
power and communications is also
included.
While the vehicle security alarm is
enabled, interior door locks switches,
trunk lid and fuel filler door release
are disabled. If something triggers the
alarm, the vehicle security alarm will
provide the following audible and
visible signals: intermittent buzzer,
position lights and/or turn signals and
the vehicle security light on the
dashboard will flash.
This light will fast flash for
approximately 15 seconds, when the
vehicle security alarm is being armed,Before Starting

will remain open if it was left open. In
this condition, it will be necessary to
first close the trunk lid as described
under "Trunk Lid Operation" in this
section, and repeat the arming
operation, to be able to arm the alarm
system.
Vehicles equipped with Power Trunk
Lid/Hands Free option a button -
located at the bottom of the trunk lid
and indicated in the figure - that can
be used to completely close and lock
the trunk lid, lock all the doors and
arm the alarm system if all the doors
and trunk lid are closed.
See chapter “ Trunk Lid Operation” in
this section for further information.
Each time the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the anti-intrusion and anti-lift
sensors actively monitor the vehicle.
When arming the security alarm, it is
possible to disable these sensors by pressing the
button on the key fob
three times within 5 seconds from the
moment the system has been armed
(meanwhile the security alarm light
flashes rapidly).
To disarm the System Use any of the following steps to
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
• Press the button on key fob RKE
transmitter.
• Grasp the “Passive Entry” unlock
door handle (see “Passive Entry
System” in this section for further
information).
• Press the START/STOP button so as
to release the OFF position.
NOTE:
• When the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the interior power door lock
switch will not allow unlocking of
the doors.
• The use of the emergency key into
the driver door lock and the use of
the button
on the key fob
cannot arm or disarm the security
alarm of the vehicle.
• The vehicle security alarm remains
engaged while accessing the power
trunk lid. Pressing the button
between the license plate lights will not disarm the vehicle security
alarm. If anyone enters the vehicle
through the trunk lid and opens a
door, the alarm will trigger.
The vehicle security alarm is designed
to protect your vehicle; however, you
can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If
one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
vehicle security alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will activate. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed
and the battery becomes
disconnected, the vehicle security
alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior
lights will flash, the buzzer will
activate. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.
Tamper Alert If something has triggered the vehicle
security alarm in your absence, the
horn will sound three times when you
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Check the vehicle for tampering.Before Starting

quantity of nontoxic gas is generated
to inflate the advanced front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the dashboard
separate and fold out of the way as
the air bags inflate to their full size.
The air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger. The advanced front
air bag gas is vented through the vent
holes in the sides of the air bag. In this
way, the air bags do not interfere with
your control of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag Inflator Unit
The supplemental driver side knee air
bag unit is located in the dashboard
trim beneath the steering column.
When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the air bag, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the supplemental driver side knee air
bag. The trim cover separates and
folds out of the way allowing the air
bag to inflate to the full size.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The ORC unit determines if a side
collision requires the side air bags to
inflate, based on the severity and type
of collision. Based on the severity and type of collision, the side air bag
inflator on the crash side of the
vehicle may be triggered, releasing a
quantity of nontoxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The side air
bag moves at a very high speed and
with such a high force that it could
injure you if you are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the side air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may
deploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle. A quantity of non-toxic gas is
generated to inflate the side curtain
air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the head/s of the occupant/s
seating in the outside seats from the
edge of the headliner out of the way
and covers the window. The air bag
inflates with enough force to possibly injure you if you are not belted and
seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
curtain air bag inflates. This especially
applies to children.
The SABICs may also help reduce the
risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain rollover events
(because equipped with rollover
sensing).
Front and Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact
sensors can aid the ORC in
determining appropriate response to
impact events.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the
communication network and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the accident, the ORC
will determine whether the enhanced
accident response system will have to
perform the following functions:
• cut off fuel to the engine;
• turn hazard lights and interior lights
on as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition switch is turned
off;
• unlock the doors automatically;Before Starting

reflectance of the internal mirror,
increasing visibility at night.
Lights Light Switch The light switch located on the left
side of the dashboard is used for the
position/DRL lights, headlights, side
marker, license plate lights and rear
fog lights operation.
The regulation devices beside the
switch may have a different
configuration according to type of
headlights installed. It can adjust
respectively:
• the left one: brightness of the
instrument cluster lights, doors
controls rear lighting, interior and
night lighting (see “Interior Lights”

NOTE:
Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High
Beam headlight control mirror is
replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Interior Lights The interior and exterior approach
lights turn on and off when
entering/exiting the vehicle (see
“Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section
"Before Starting" for further
information).
The brightness of the lights can be
manually adjusted with the regulator
positioned beside the light switch.
To protect the battery, the interior
lights will turn off automatically 10
minutes after the ignition switch has
been shifted to OFF . This occurs if the
interior lights were turned on
manually or by opening of a door. The
glove box light, share the same characteristics excepting the trunk
light.
To adjust interior lights, either turn the
ignition switch out of OFF or rotate
the multifunction lever out of “0”
position.
