• The power liftgate does not work
with temperatures lower than −22°F
(−30°C) or higher than 150°F (65°C).
• If the opening buttons or the
handles are operated while the
power liftgate is closing, the stroke
of liftgate stops. Pressing another
time the same command it reverses
movement and fully open.
• If the opening buttons or the
handles are operated while the
power liftgate is opening, the motor
of the liftgate is disabled to allow
manual operation.
• If the power liftgate finds several
obstacles during the same operating
cycle, it will stop automatically and
must be opened or closed manually.
• If the power liftgate is closing and a
gear is engaged, the liftgate will
continue closing. In this condition, it
is possible that, during the closing
stroke, it may find an obstacle and
stop.
WARNING!
If, for any reason, the power liftgate
must remain open while driving, close
all the windows and activate the
blower of the air conditioning control at the maximum speed. Do not
activate recirculation.
Set the Position of Maximum Power
Liftgate
Opening
The maximum opening
position of the
liftgate can be modified using the
previously described buttons on the
outer left edge of the trunk
compartment.
1. Activate the liftgate and stop it in
the new maximum opening
position to be set, by pressing the
upper
button.
2. Press the upper
or lower
buttons and keep it pressed for 3
seconds.
3. Release the button (pressed in the
previous point). Upon the following
opening controls, the liftgate will
stop in the stored position.
If you want to reset the maximum
possible opening position of the
liftgate, proceed as described below
starting from the previously set
opening position.
1. Manually push the liftgate to the
maximum possible opening
position.
2. Repeat the previously performed
steps 2 and 3. Power Liftgate Automatic Safe
Movement
Power liftgate safe opening and
closing is ensured by a protection
system able to stop its movement
when an obstacle is detected along
the path: when opening or closing, it
stops automatically and then slightly
moves back.
Along the upper outer edges, the
vehicle is equipped with anti-pinch
protection sensors. These sensors stop
the automatic closing stroke and
partly open the power liftgate when a
pressure is carried out, also slight,
within their range shown in the
figure.
After the closing command, when
power liftgate starts closing, all the
indicators will blink to warn anyone
within range.Before Starting

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.

WARNING!
• The seat belts height must be
adjusted only with the vehicle
stationary.
• Do not bring sharp edges in contact
with a seat belt. This could reduce
their initial strength and cause them
to tear in the event of a crash.
• If a seat belt has been brought in
contact with a sharp edge, or has
been used to pin something to it,
have it immediately replaced by our
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
• A belt that is latched into the wrong
buckle will not protect you properly.
The lap portion of the belt could ride
too high on your body, possibly
causing internal injuries. Always
latch your belt into the
corresponding buckle.
• A seat belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden
stop, you could move too far
forward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A belt that is worn under your arm is
dangerous. Your body could strike
the inside surfaces of the vehicle in
an accident, increasing head and neck injury. A belt worn under the
arm can also cause internal injuries.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and
lies low across
your hips, below
your abdomen. To fasten the lap belt
pull slightly up the diagonal portion
of the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in an accident.
WARNING!
• A lap belt worn too high can
increase the risk of internal injury in
an accident. The belt forces won't
impact on the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen.
Always wear the lap belt as low as
possible and keep it comfortable.
• A twisted belt will not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt is
straight. If you can't straighten a
belt in your vehicle, take it to a
Service Center immediately.
• Do not use devices (clips, fastenings
etc.) that prevent the seat belts from
laying close to the occupants bodies. • Never carry children on a passenger’s
lap.
• Position the shoulder belt on your
chest
so that it
is comfortable and
not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
• To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is
rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could break in an
accident and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt/retractor assemblies
must be replaced by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent
retractor, torn belt, etc.).Before Starting
