Passive Entry System The “Passive Entry” system is an
enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
press the key fob RKE transmitter lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• “Passive Entry” may be programmed
to on/off; see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
• If wearing gloves, or if it has been
raining on the “Passive Entry” door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower
response time.
• Access to the vehicle using “Passive
Entry” system may not work properly
in case of interference caused by
external sources such as metal
objects, mobile phones, overhead
power lines, antennas, etc. In these
cases, use the buttons of the key fob
RKE transmitter to open and close
the vehicle or the emergency key,
inserting it into the driver side door
lock.
• The “Passive Entry” system does not
lock and unlock the doors directly and immediately but with a slight
delay (about 2 seconds).
Unlock Door from the Driver
Side With a valid key fob RKE transmitter
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the driver's door
handle, grip the driver’s door outside
handle to unlock the door
automatically. The interior door panel
lock knob will rise when the door is
unlocked. NOTE:
If “1st Press of Key Fob Unlocks” is

tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
• When it is not necessary to open the
power liftgate with the Hands free
mode, make sure the key fob is
outside the range of use (3.3 ft/1 m).
Otherwise, the power liftgate can
be opened accidentally by an
unintentional movement of the
foot.
In order for the sensors to detect your
foot
movement, move your foot
towards the vehicle rather than
sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the power liftgate
will activate within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power liftgate will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop; • after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
power liftgate will:
• completely close but not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement;
• if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
NOTE:
• If your foot movement fails to
activate the power liftgate
movement, wiggling your foot
under the bumper will not help.
Repeat the whole kick movement.
• In particular situations, external
factors affecting the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power
liftgate release feature. For example,
when washing the vehicle, a water
jet aimed at the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power
liftgate release feature. Keep the
key fob RKE transmitter away from
the sensing range of the sensors (10
ft/3 m) or disable the Hands free
feature from the MTC+ menu (see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). A key fob RKE
transmitter located in the front seat
passenger area is considered out of
range of the Hands free liftgate
release sensor.
• If somebody or something knocks
against the power liftgate while it is
moving, the safety system might
stop lid opening or closing
movement.
Power Liftgate Emergency
Release If the power release control operated
by pressing the button on the dome
console fails, the battery could be in a
low condition. In this case, it is
possible to temporarily power the
system by using the battery remote
poles located inside the engine
compartment (see “Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency”). Then it is possible to
normally open the power liftgate by
using the key fob RKE transmitter.

Procedure If your vehicle has a discharged
battery it can be jump-started using a
set of jumper cables and a battery of
another vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster. It is necessary to have
proper jumper cables in order to
connect the booster battery to the
remote posts of the discharged
battery. Booster cables have positive
and negative terminal clamps and are
identified by the sheath color (red =
positive, black = negative).
NOTE:
An Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”,
available in the “Genuine Accessories”
range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done improperly so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack, follow the battery
manufacturer’s operating instructions
and precautions. CAUTION!
• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage
the electronic systems, particularly
the control units managing the
ignition and fuel supply functions.
• If the battery is completely
discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window.
WARNING!
• Always perform jump-starting
operations with appropriate tools
and environmental conditions,
taking all necessary precautions.
