this problem let more air into the
passenger compartment.
• It is advisable to close the soft top
when parking the vehicle. This not
only protects the passenger
compartment against weather
agents, but is also a safeguard
against theft.
• If possible, park in the shade as
prolonged exposure to the sun will
alter the canvas fiber and color.
• Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the side windows by about 1.6
- 2 in (4 - 5 cm) to prevent damaging
the soft top strip when the doors are
opened and closed. When the
battery is connected and fully
charged, this operation is performed
automatically whenever the doors
are opened or closed. The windows
must remain lowered until the
recharged battery is reconnected. If
the battery is dead and the windows
are fully up, only open the doors
when strictly necessary and being
extremely careful: do not close them
again until the windows can be
lowered.
• Cover the soft top with a protective
cloth when it is going to be parked
outdoor for a long period of time. • To avoid damaging the soft top, the
vehicle must not be washed with
high-pressure water jet systems, be it
a manual nozzle or an automatic car
wash with turning rollers.
• Organic residues must be
immediately removed, as they may
damage both the soft top fabric and
its strips.
• Do not use solvents, alcohol, petrol
or other generic detergents to clean
the soft top.
"Summer open" Strategy Using the key inserted in the external
driver's door lock, you can control the
soft top opening/closing strategy
referred to as “Summer open”.
NOTE:
• The opening and closing cycle can be
interrupted at any time, moving the
key back to its initial position.
• The following operations are
performed with the engine off. This
involves an extremely high power
consumption, which causes the
battery to discharge faster.
With the soft top fully closed :
• insert the key in the external driver’s
door lock; • turn the key clockwise until
unlocking the doors and hold it in
this position. The automatic soft top
opening cycle will begin after
approx. 2 seconds;
• do not move the key for the entire
opening cycle.
With the soft top fully open :
• insert the key in the external driver’s
door lock;
• turn the key counterclockwise until
locking the doors and hold it in this
position. The automatic soft top
closing cycle will begin after approx.
2 seconds;
• do not move the key for the entire
closing cycle.Understanding the Vehicle

Soft Top Operation The soft top must be opened and
closed with the vehicle stationary and,
as a rule, with the engine running at
idle speed.
If necessary (e.g. in closed places) the
operation can be performed with the
engine off and the key in the ignition
switch in MAR (ON) position. This
operation involves an extremely high
power consumption, which causes the
battery to discharge faster.
For moving the soft top, use the two
buttons on the central console:
( C ): soft top closing button.
( O ): soft top opening button.
Opening Cycle
Press the ( O ) soft top opening button
and hold it pressed for the entire
opening cycle. The soft top will perform the
following steps which are also shown
on the instrument cluster display (see

The movement cycle can be
interrupted at any time by pressing
again the ( O ) opening button.
If you hold the ( O ) opening button
and you push it again within 2 seconds
after releasing it, when the soft top
has reached its target position the
system will automatically close all the
windows.
Closing Cycle
Press the ( C ) soft top closing button
and hold it pressed for the entire
closing cycle.
The soft top will perform the
following steps which are also shown
on the instrument cluster display (see
picture).
1 Side window lowering; first the
rear and then the front windows
will lower. Soft top compartment
cover opening.
2 Soft top unfolding.
3 Soft top compartment closing.
4 Soft top rear edge lowering on
the rear shelf.
5 Soft top locking on the
windshield frame. The movement cycle can be
interrupted at any time by pressing
again the ( C ) closing button.
If you hold the ( O ) opening button
and you push it again within 2 seconds
after releasing it, when the soft top
has reached its target position the
system will automatically close all the
windows.
CAUTION!
At the beginning of the soft top
opening or closing cycle, always
ensure that the door windows have
lowered automatically. If not, release
the soft top movement button.Understanding the Vehicle

Interruption/Inhibition of Soft
Top Movement Automatic movement of the soft top is
interrupted in the following cases:
• If the button is released before the
soft top has completed its movement
cycle.
• Exceeding a speed of 30 km/h
(19 mph).
Automatic movement of the soft top is
inhibited in the following cases: • Vehicle moving (at a speed above
19 mph/30 km/h).
• Trunk compartment open or not
properly closed.
• Failure of the front windows.
CAUTION!
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the system properly
repaired. • Movement system overheated.
•

NOTE:
The soft top failure temporarily
disables, for approx. 10 minutes, the
power windows’ operation. After this
time, the power windows will resume
normal functioning.
Soft Top Manual Closing
Operation In case of need, the soft top may be
closed manually.
WARNING!
• Manual operation of the soft top for
emergency closing requires the
presence of two persons in order to
prevent personal injury or damage
to the car.
• When moving the soft top by hand,
take the greatest care as its movable
parts could squeeze or trap objects
or parts of your body.
CAUTION!
The emergency procedure described
below must be used to close the soft
top if it is not possible for you to
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately and you cannot
keep the soft top open. If the failure occurs when the opening
procedure
is already in progress, do
not attempt to complete the
procedure - close back the soft top
manually according to the following
instructions. After depressurizing the
hydraulic circuit by turning the key in
the ignition switch to STOP (OFF)
position, perform the emergency
procedure starting from the point at
which the opening stage jammed.
WARNING!
After depressurizing the system, the
soft top will move freely. Therefore, if
it is not in a balanced position, it will
close or open as a consequence of its
weight. Take the greatest care to
avoid being squeezed or trapped by
its levers and mechanisms.
Before Starting
NOTE:
• During
emergency closing, the side
windows must be lowered.
•
To move the soft top manually, you
must depressurize the hydraulic system
by turning the key in the ignition
switch to
STOP (OFF) position and
waiting approx. 10 minutes. • To avoid unintentional activations,
we recommend that you remove the
key from the ignition switch. Take
the flat-head screwdriver and the
wrench to lock/unlock the soft top
hinges out of the tool kit located in
the trunk compartment (see "Tool
Kit" in section "In an Emergency").
Soft Top Closing
• Using a flat head screwdriver, remove
the access covers (housed on both
sides of the compartment) turning
the relative fastening screws
counterclockwise by a quarter of a
turn.
• Reach the small cables through the
slots and pull them to unlock the soft
top cover locks.
• Reassemble the access covers and
lock them turning the following
screw clockwise.Understanding the Vehicle

Adjustable and fixed air vents allow
passengers to achieve the optimal
comfort conditions.
Fixed Air Vents • The fixed vents, positioned on the
upper part of the dashboard,
beneath the windshield are meant
to guarantee the defogging and
defrosting of the windshield and the
side windows. • The fixed vents under the dashboard
aim to ventilate the lower part of
the passenger compartment.
Adjustable Air Vents • The adjustable vents are located at
the center and at the side ends of
the dashboard. They have the
purpose of ventilating the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
There are also adjustable vents
placed at the rear end of the central
console. These vents can be adjusted
in vertical and horizontal direction,
by operating on the central handle
1 , indicated in the following
pictures. The rotary control 2 ,
located under each vent, allows to
partialize the air flow. NOTE:
In order not to obstruct the air
conditioning inlet, the defrosting or
the defogging function of the glass
surfaces, avoid covering vents with
clothing or other items.Understanding the Vehicle

Air Conditioning Controls
The vehicle is equipped with an
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system that allows to adjust separately
the air temperature and the airflow
distribution in the left and in the right
zone of the passenger compartment,
according to the requests of the driver
and the front passenger.
A humidity sensor, positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rearview mirror, allows the A/C
system to prevent/ eliminate fogging
of the windshield and side windows.
The best efficacy in preventing
fogging is obtained by selecting the
AUTO function, described later.
A dual zone solar sensor, positioned
on the center of the dashboard upper
surface, helps to achieve the best
comfort in presence of solar radiation.
CAUTION!
To ensure proper functioning of the
solar sensor, do not apply adhesive
parking stickers, etc. in the checking
area between the sensor and the
windshield. Therefore, keep the
windshield and the sensor clean to prevent accumulation of dust or other
impurities.
