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

Key fob This vehicle is provided with two
programmed key fobs.
The key fob contains a Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter and an
emergency key that is inserted in to
the remote. The emergency key allows
you to open the vehicle by inserting
into the lock of the opening handle
on the driver's door, in case the
battery of the vehicle or the key fob
go dead. You can keep the emergency key with
you when using valet parking.
To remove the emergency key:
• hold the mechanical latch on the
back of the key fob sideways;
• simultaneously remove the
emergency key by sliding laterally
towards the end of the key fob.
NOTE:
You can insert either side of the
emergency key into the lock cylinder.
Shift Ignition Device to OFF
Alert Opening the driver's door to exit the
vehicle when the ignition device is set
in ACC or RUN (engine not running), a
beep will remind you to cycle the
ignition to OFF . In addition to the acoustic signal a
dedicated message is displayed on the
instrument cluster.
If the ignition device is left in the ACC
or RUN position, when vehicle is
locked the system will turn off the
instrument cluster and automatically
set ignition device to OFF .
With the MTC+ System, the power
window switches, radio, power
sunroof (optional), and power outlets
will remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is cycled to
the OFF position. Opening either front
door will cancel this feature, it is
possible to set the timing of this
feature.
NOTE:
Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in Section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
• Do not allow children to be in a
vehicle unattended or with access to
an unlocked vehicle. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake
trigger, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition switch in the ACC or RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
• An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the key fob
from vehicle, cycle the ignition
switch to OFF and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle
unattended. Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer
System The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle
operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, an
ignition switch and a RF (Radio
Frequency) receiver to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only key fobs expressly
programmed can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light (see
picture) will light up for a three
seconds bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics: this
condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation
(engine running for longer than 10
seconds), an electronic fault is
detected. Should this occur, contact
the Authorized Maserati Dealer as
soon as possible for assistance.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer system is
not compatible with some remote
starting systems that can be installed
in after-market.
Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All key fobs provided with the new
vehicle
have been updated with the
vehicle electronics and are therefore
able to guarantee correct functioning
and protection.Before Starting

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.

Driver Memory Seat This feature allows the driver to store
up to two different memory profiles
for easy recall through a memory
switch. Each memory profile contains
desired position settings for the driver
seat, external side mirrors, adjustable
pedals (optional), and power tilt and
telescopic steering column and a set of
programmed radio stations.
Your key fob RKE transmitter can also
be set to recall the same positions by
pressing the
button.
NOTE:
• Only one key fob RKE transmitter
can be linked to each of the memory
positions.
• “Passive Entry” door handles cannot
be linked to the memory function.
Use either the memory recall switch
or the key fob RKE transmitter (if
linked to the memory feature) to
recall memory positions 1 or 2.
The memory seat switch is located on
the driver's door trim panel. The
switch consists of three buttons:
• The “S” (SET) button, which is used
to activate the memory save
function. • The “1” and “2” buttons which are
used to recall either of two
programmed memory profiles.
Memory Profiles Setting NOTE:
Saving a new memory profile will
erase an existing profile from memory.
To create a new memory profile,
perform the following:
• Cycle the ignition device to the ACC
or RUN position.
• Adjust all memory profile settings to
desired preferences (i.e., seat, side
mirrors, adjustable pedals (optional),
power tilt and telescopic steering
column, and radio station presets).
• Press and release the “S” button on
the memory switch.
• Within 5 seconds, press and release
the memory button “1” or “2”. • Check on the instrument cluster for
the positive response of the actions
“Memory 1 (or 2) profile set”.
After these steps, the profile set will
be memorized in the selected position.
NOTE:
Memory profiles can be set without
the vehicle in P (Park), but the vehicle
must be in P (Park) to recall a memory
profile.
Pairing Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter to Seats Memory Your key fob with RKE transmitters
can be programmed to recall one of
two programmed memory profiles by
pressing the
button on the RKE
transmitter.
NOTE:
This feature can be enabled or
disabled using the MTC+ System, refer
to “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
To program your key fobs RKE
transmitter, perform the following
actions:
• Cycle the ignition device to the RUN
position.Understanding the Vehicle
