General Information While programming HomeLink ®
,itis
advisable to disconnect the drive
motor of the gate/door to be remote
controlled, since the numerous driving
pulses launched for this operation
might damage it.
If the battery fails or is disconnected,
the stored settings are not deleted.
If the gate/door was manufactured
prior to April 1982 (not equipped with
safety systems or automatic stop in the
event of an obstacle in the range of
action), the gate/door cannot be
controlled by HomeLink ®
.
If you have questions, call (800)
355-3515.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more

Programming • Press and hold buttons "1" and "3".
• After about 20 seconds, the LED
starts flashing.
• Release the buttons.
• Hold the remote control for the
device to be controlled close to the
HomeLink ®
control panel (0-30 cm/
0-12 in).
• Simultaneously press and hold the
button on the hand-held remote
control and one of the three
HomeLink ®
buttons "1", "2" or "3".
• Successful programming is signaled
by the LED flashing faster.
• Release the buttons.
To program the other buttons, repeat
the operations skipping the first three
steps.
Use
• When the signal of the device to be
activated reaches its operating range, press the dedicated
HomeLink ®
button.
• The LED remains on while the signal
is being transmitted.
The devices controlled through the
HomeLink ®
function can always be
activated using the original remote
controls.
Should the so programmed
HomeLink ®
not activate the system to
be controlled, this may be due to the
fact that this system is controlled by a
remote control with a rolling code.
A rolling activation code can be
recognized in the following ways:
• consulting the instruction manual
provided with the device to be
controlled;
• despite the fact that the HomeLink ®
programming procedure has been
carried out correctly, the HomeLink ®
function does not activate the
device;
• holding the dedicated HomeLink ®
button pressed down, the LED
briefly flashes fast and then remains
on for 2 seconds; this sequence is
repeated for about 20 seconds.Understanding the Vehicle

Programming Devices
Controlled by Rolling Code • Locate the specific setting button by
consulting the user manual of the
system to be controlled. This button
is normally located on the motor
which drives the device.
• Press the button and, in normal
conditions, a LED will illuminate.
NOTE:
Normally, after this operation you
have 30 seconds to start the next one.
• Briefly press the HomeLink ®
button
you have chosen to control the
device.
• Press it a second time; when it is
released the operation should be
completed. For some types of
motors, the button might have to be
pressed a third time.
Reprogramming an Individual
Button If you wish to program activation of a
new system on an already used
HomeLink ®
button, proceed as
follows:
• press and hold the HomeLink ®
button selected; • after about 20 seconds, the LED
starts flashing; hold the button
down;
• hold the original remote control of
the device to be controlled close to
the HomeLink ®
control panel (0-30
cm/0-12 in);
• press and hold the button on the
original remote control;
• successful programming is signaled
by the LED flashing faster;
• release both buttons.
The system previously programmed on
HomeLink ®
has thus been replaced
with the new programming and is
ready to be used.
This operation has no impact on the
other HomeLink ®
buttons.
Deleting the Programmed
Buttons Unlike programming, which is
performed for each individual button,
all three buttons are deleted
simultaneously.
To delete proceed as follows:
• press and hold buttons "1" and "3";
• after about 20 seconds, the LED
starts flashing;
• release the buttons. NOTE:
It is advisable to perform the
HomeLink ®
deletion procedure when
selling the vehicle.

Sport Skyhook Suspension
(for versions/markets,
where provided) The electronic system controlling the
vehicle suspension uses the
sophisticated on board sensors and is
aimed at optimizing vehicle
performance.
The system is capable of constantly
monitoring suspension damping by
means of the actuator fitted on each
shock absorber (Skyhook type). This
way, the shock absorber setting is
suited to the road surface conditions
and vehicle dynamics, thus improving
passenger comfort and road-holding.
By pressing button “SPORT” on the
central console, the driver can choose,
even while driving, a normal or
dynamic-type setting for the
suspension, depending on their own
driving style. This way, the system operates with a
shock absorber “softer” setting in
NORMAL drive mode, and a “harder”
setting if SPORT drive mode is selected
(see “Drive Mode” in section
“Driving”).
The strategy used by the system
controlling suspension damping is
aimed at reducing the vertical
oscillations of the vehicle (rolling and
pitching) to a minimum.
The activation of SPORT drive mode
sets the suspension for sports-style
driving and acts on the ASR and
gearbox systems as well, modifying
their setting for dynamic-style driving.
System Components
The system is controlled by an ECU
which manages the solenoid valves on
each shock absorber in response to the
sensor signals, thus adjusting
suspension damping and setting. The sensors which enable the ECU to
calculate the vehicle speed, vertical
and side acceleration, as well as the
instantaneous braking system
pressure, thereby controlling
suspension damping, are the
following:
• front left-hand vertical acceleration
sensor;
• front right-hand vertical acceleration
sensor;
• rear vertical acceleration sensor;
• front left-hand wheel acceleration
sensor;
• front right-hand wheel acceleration
sensor;
• lateral acceleration sensor;
• driving speed sensor;
• brake pedal switch.
Self-diagnostics Whenever the engine is started, the
system performs a self-diagnostic
cycle. If a malfunction is found, the
amber warning light is displayed
accompanied by the message “Check
suspensions” (see paragraph
"Malfunction Indicators" in this
chapter).Understanding the Vehicle

Low Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This warning light and the
related displayed message,
indicate a low engine oil level.
The engine oil level must be
checked with the dipstick fitted under
the hood (see “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”).
Power Steering Failure Warning Light
This warning light, and the
related message, illuminate
when the power steering is
not operating and needs
service.
Drive slowly by to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer , being
extremely careful as steering effort
may increase.
Catalyst Over Temperature Warning
Light
This warning light, and the
related message, light up if
the engine runs irregularly
with consequent high
temperature in the exhaust system. WARNING!

• If the warning light is accompanied
by the message “High catalysts
temperature slow down”: the
temperature of the catalytic
converters is too high. The driver
must slow down immediately until
the warning light turns off.
• If the message “Excessive catalysts
temperature do not drive on”
appears after decelerating: the
temperature in the catalytic
converters has reached a dangerous
level and the catalytic converters
could be damaged. Drive slowly to
