The key is removable. MAR
(ON) Driving position: all electrical
devices can operate. The key is
removable.
AVV Engine starting.
Upon exceeding a spee da3mph
(5 km/h), if one or more doors/lids are
open or not properly closed, a warning
buzzer will be activated.
WARNING!

Vehicle Security Alarm The vehicle security alarm system
performs the following functions:
• remote control of the centralized
door locking/unlocking system;
• perimeter surveillance, detecting the
opening of doors, engine/trunk
compartment lids;
• motion surveillance, detecting
intrusion in the passenger
compartment;
• vehicle movement surveillance.
NOTE:
The engine immobilizer operation is
guaranteed by the Maserati CODE
system, which is automatically
activated when the key is removed
from the ignition switch.
Alarm System Activation Press the lock button on the key to
activate the security alarm system. • The turn signals flash once.
• The system beeps.
• The red LEDs on the front door
panels flash.
• The vehicle centralized door locking
is activated and the doors are locked.
The system becomes operative after
approximately 25 seconds and the
alarm is activated when:
• a door is opened;
• the trunk compartment lid is opened;
• the engine compartment lid is
opened;
• someone attempts to enter the
vehicle from a window;
• the power supply is disconnected;
• the siren is disconnected;
• the vehicle is moved.
When the vehicle security alarm is
active, the user may request the trunk
compartment opening; in this case, the motion and inclination sensors are
temporarily deactivated.
If the trunk compartment lid is then
closed, the sensors will be reactivated.
Should the turn signals flash 9 times
when you activate the security alarm
system, this means that one of the
doors or lids is not properly closed and
therefore is not protected by the
perimeter surveillance.
Check for correct closing of doors,
engine/trunk compartment lids and
close the open one without
deactivating the security alarm system:
the turn signals flashing once indicate
that now the door, engine/trunk
compartment lids are closed properly
and are protected by the perimeter
surveillance.
CAUTION!
If the turn signals flash 9 times when
the security alarm system is activated
with doors, front and rear lids properly
closed, this means that the
self-diagnostic function has detected a
malfunction in the system and that
you should contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.Before Starting

In the event of an emergency (vehicle
dead battery or electric system failure)
to open the doors, with the locks
released, press the rear button inside
each handle. Otherwise, if the doors
are locked, you must release them by
turning the key in the lock to open
them, then press the rear button.
In this case, being a conventional
mechanism, hold the rear button
pressed down longer. On the door panels, in a position
which is visible from the outside, there
is a dual-color (green/red) LED E which
indicates the status of the locks
(locked/unlocked). The red LEDs
illuminate for 3 seconds after the locks
are engaged and the green LEDs for
the same amount of time when they
are unlocked.
NOTE:
The door LEDs remain illuminated for
approximately 3 seconds and
therefore, in normal conditions, they
are off.
When the security alarm system is
turned on and the doors are locked,
the LEDs on the doors flash.
The radio control device allows you to
operate the centralized opening of all
the doors or of the driver’s door only,
depending on the Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) settings (see
"MTC+ Settings" in section
"Dashboard Instrument and
Controls").
If one or more doors are not properly
closed when locking the doors from
the outside, they will not be locked,
while if the trunk compartment is not
properly closed, the doors will in any
case be locked.
In both cases, the malfunction will be
indicated by the turn signals flashing
for a few seconds.
NOTE:
• The interior door locking/unlocking,
trunk compartment lid opening and
fuel tank door opening buttons are
disabled when the doors are locked
from the outside.
• In the event that the inertia switch
activates, the doors are electrically
unlocked and the vehicle can be
accessed by pressing the rear button
inside each handle.Before Starting

WARNING!
Gearshifting is always active and may
be performed even when one or more
doors, the engine compartment lid or
the trunk lid are open. Therefore, in
these conditions, take great care to
avoid moving the transmission shift
lever and so accidentally engage
gears. Power Windows The power windows can only be
activated when the key in the ignition
switch is in the MAR (ON) position.
The controls for all power windows
are located in the armrest of the door
on the driver’s side. The external
switch commands the power window
driver’s side; the inner switch
commands the power window
passenger’s side.
The door on the passenger side only
has control for the window on the
passenger side. NOTE:
• The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the key in the ignition switch is
turned to the STOP (OFF) position.
Opening either door will cancel this
feature.
• Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
• If the power window is closed when
the door is open, the window stops
before the upper limit so as not to
interfere with the seal when the
door is closed.Before Starting

Reset Auto-Up/Down Should the auto-up/down feature stop
working, the window probably needs
to be reset.
To reset auto-up/down, pull the
window switch up to close the
window completely and push the
window switch down to open the
window completely.
If You have to Disconnect the
Battery Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the side windows by at least 1-2
in (4-5 cm) to avoid damaging the soft
top strip when opening and closing
the door.
When the battery is connected, this
operation is performed automatically
when the door is opened and closed.
The windows must remain lowered
until the charged battery is
reconnected. If the battery is
completely discharged when the
windows are fully raised, only open
the door if absolutely necessary, with
the utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window. Open and Close the Trunk
Lid Opening The trunk compartment lid can be
opened from inside or outside the
vehicle.
Button which opens the lid from
inside, is located to the left of the
steering wheel.
It can only be operated when the key
is removed from the ignition switch or
turned to STOP (OFF) or ACC position.
To open the trunk compartment lid
from outside, press button on the
radio control case: this opens the lock
and the trunk lid rises slightly. To open the trunk lid from the
outside, when the security alarm is
deactivated and the key is inside the
vehicle, simply press the button
underneath the license plate light
frame.
To avoid accidental activation while
the vehicle is moving, it is only
possible to open the trunk
compartment when the key is
removed from the ignition switch or
turned to STOP (OFF) or ACC position.Before Starting

Two gas struts facilitate the lid
opening. The struts are calibrated to
ensure they function correctly with the
weights specified by the manufacturer.
The arbitrary addition of objects
(spoiler, luggage rack etc.) may impair
the lid’s correct operation and safety.
WARNING!
When using the trunk compartment,
never exceed the maximum loads
allowed (see “Technical Data" in
section "Features and Specifications”).
Also check that the objects contained
in the luggage compartment are
arranged properly.
The trunk compartment is illuminated
by
a light that comes on automatically
when the lid is opened; switching off is
timed.
If the trunk compartment lid is left
open, the light switches off after a few
minutes. To turn it on again, close the
lid and then reopen it.
NOTE:
The soft top automatic movement is
disabled when the trunk compartment
is open. Closing To close the trunk lid grasp one of the
handles as indicated on the inner
covering and lower the lid.
Then press gently on the outside of
the lid, in correspondence of the lock,
until hearing it click in place.
Emergency Opening If necessary, the trunk compartment lid
can be opened by pulling the small
cable, located underneath the left rear
seat. Once you have located the cable and
pulled it out from the seat, pull it
forward to open the trunk
compartment lid.
Independent Trunk Lid
Unlocking To allow the user to hold only the
trunk lid unlocked compared to the
doors condition, there is a dedicated
feature which can be activated by
