• Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an
unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake switch,
brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle, and do not leave the key in
the ignition switch in the ACC or
MAR (ON) position. 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
from vehicle, cycle the ignition
switch to STOP (OFF) and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
• In the event of tampering with the
starter switch (e.g. attempted theft),
have it checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer before restarting
the vehicle. The key can be removed from the
ignition
switch only when the
transmission shift lever is in position P
(Park).
If the transmission shift lever is shifted
to P (Park) after turning off the
engine, the key can only be removed
within 30 seconds from turning it to
STOP (OFF) position.
If you do not remove the key within
30 seconds, you will need to turn it
back to MAR (ON) and then to STOP
(OFF) position to have a further 30
seconds within which to remove the
key.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible to
shift the transmission shift lever to P
(Park) position, to remove the key
from the ignition switch you must turn
it to STOP (OFF) position, then:

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

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

The homologation number (EEC
regulations) of the radio control device
is indicated in the picture.
The current device feature is subject to
following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful
interference.
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
If your transmitter device fails to
operate from a normal distance, check
for these two conditions:
• A weak battery in the transmitter
device. The expected life of the
battery in normal use is a minimum
of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
Doors WARNING!

the event of an accident, or robbery
lock the vehicle doors before you
drive as well as when parking and
leaving the vehicle unattended.
• When leaving the vehicle, always

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.

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,
depending on the Maserati TouchBefore Starting
