described previously leaving the key
at STOP (OFF) position for more than
30 seconds. If the problem persists,
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
• If the CODE
warning light flashes,
it means that the vehicle is not
protected by the immobilizer device.
Immediately contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have all the keys
stored in the memory.
CAUTION!
• Strong impacts can damage the
electronic components in the key.
• Each key supplied has its own

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

26
Alarm System Deactivation Press the lock button on the key to
activate the security alarm system.
• The turn signals flash twice.
• The system emits a double beep.
• The red LEDs on the front door
panels turn off.
• The centralized door locking system
is activated and the doors are
unlocked.
The security alarm system is off and it
is therefore possible to get into the
vehicle and start the engine.
Pressing the
unlock button twice
unlocks the doors and also switches on
the low beams for 30 seconds.
NOTE:
The security alarm system is not
deactivated when the key is turned in
the locks. Getting into the Vehicle with
Alarm On When the battery on the radio control
case is dead, to access the vehicle you
must insert the key in the lock on one
of the two front doors and turn it
clockwise to unlock it.
The alarm will sound but you will have
to continue with the normal starting
procedure. The alarm will turn off.
Overriding Volumetric
Protection Volumetric protection can also be
overridden by pressing the inner
button, located in the dome console,
with the key in the ignition switch in
the MAR (ON) position or within 1
minute of turning off the engine (key
in the STOP (OFF) position).
When this function is deactivated, the
warning light on the button flashes
for about 3 seconds and then goes
out. Overriding the Anti-lift
Protection Pressing the external button, located
on the dome console, with the key in
the ignition switch in the MAR (ON)
position or within 1 minute of turning
off the engine (key in the STOP (OFF)
position), deactivates the alarm system
anti-lift protection. When this
function is deactivated, the warning
light on the button flashes for about 3
seconds and then goes out.Before Starting

27
CAUTION!
Volumetric and anti-lift protection
override is memorized until the alarm
is next activated; therefore, if this
protection is overridden but the alarm
is not activated immediately, the
override will remain memorized until
the next time it is activated, regardless
of turning the vehicle on/off.
Security Alarm Memory If the CODE warning light appears
on the display when the vehicle is
started, accompanied by the message
“Break-in attempt detected” this
means that an intrusion has been
attempted during your absence.
The security alarm system memory is
reset when you turn the ignition key. Requiring and Setting
Additional Key In order to purchase additional keys
with radio control you need to bring
with you at the Authorized Maserati
Dealer :
• all keys with radio control in your
possession;
• the Maserati CODE card;
• a personal ID;
• the identification and registration
documents proving ownership of the
vehicle.
Setting new keys with radio control or
re-setting the original ones may only
be performed at the Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
NOTE:
The codes of any key with radio
control that are not available when
the new setting procedure is carried
out will be deleted from the memory
to prevent any lost or stolen key with
radio control being used to disarm the
electronic alarm system. Radio Control Battery

Opening from the Outside Turn off the security alarm system and
the centralized door locking system by
pressing the
unlock button on the
radio control case (see chapter
“Vehicle Security Alarm” in this
section) or insert and turn the key in
the lock on one of the front doors.
To open the door, press the front
button inside each handle.
The vehicle is equipped with power
locks which move the mechanical parts
when pressing this button.
As these are electric locks, a slight
pressure on the front button will
unlock the doors. 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,

• Before activating the alarm, ensure
that all the windows are closed; this
will help prevent the alarm being
triggered accidentally.
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 seal
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.Before Starting
