Front to Back Roof Rails
(optional) The front to back roof rails that can be
installed to this vehicle have been
designed to carry luggage or
equipment suitable for transport
outside of the vehicle.
Weight of luggage/equipment carried
on the rails must not exceed 176 lb
(80 kg) and must be evenly
distributed. This weight must be
added to the load carried inside of the
vehicle as well as the passengers'
weight, and total must not exceed the
maximum allowed weight (see
“Features and Specifications” in
section “Features and Specifications”).
When arranging load on rails, make
sure that it will not interfere with
power liftgate and sunroof opening (if
equipped). Securely fasten load to rails using the
suitable retainers that can hold the
original anchorage points throughout
the trip.
When installing to rails any bicycle,
surfboard or other types of carriers
requiring cross bars, please comply
with the equipment manufacturer's
instructions to ensure proper
installation.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved Carrying
Items, available in the "Genuine
Accessories" range.
WARNING!
• During the trip, it is recommended
to periodically check the proper
fastening of luggage or equipment
carried on the roof rails. This is to
avoid that any parts that may have
accidentally unfastened could
damage vehicle bodywork and fall
out, thereby becoming a danger for
all vehicles behind yours.
• When driving with a bulky load on
roof rails, take additional
precautions and drive at lower
speed, keeping a wider safety
distance from vehicles ahead. Indeed, a bulky and/or heavy load
carried on the roof will affect
driving behavior and steering
response since it shifts the vehicle
center of gravity to a higher
position compared to normal
conditions.
• All objects/equipment carried on the
roof and protruding beyond the
windshield, e.g. surfboard, must be
fastened to both sides of the
vehicle. Any wind blow might
suddenly increase load lift possibly
resulting in breakage and loss of
part of the carried equipment.Understanding the Vehicle

exits from this strategy when the
accelerator pedal is completely
unstuck.
Hill Start Assist (HSA) The HSA system is designed to assist
the driver when starting a vehicle
uphill. HSA will maintain the level of
brake pressure applied for a short
period of time also after releasing the
brake pedal.
If the driver does not apply the
throttle during this short period of
time, the system will release brake
pressure and the vehicle will start
sloping down. The system will release
brake pressure proportionally to the
amount of throttle/torque applied as
the vehicle starts to move in the
chosen direction.
HSA Activation Criteria
The following criteria must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
• vehicle is stationary;
• gear selection matches vehicle uphill
direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is
in forward gear; vehicle backing
uphill is in reverse gear).
HSA will work in R (Reverse) and all
forward gears when the activation
criteria have been met. The system will not activate if the
transmission is placed in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).
Roll-Over Mitigation (ROM) This system anticipates the potential
for wheel lift by monitoring the
driver's steering wheel input and the
speed of the vehicle. When ROM
determines that the rate of change of
the steering wheel angle and vehicle's
speed are sufficient to potentially
cause wheel lift, it then applies the
appropriate brake and may also
reduce engine power to lessen the
chance that wheel lift will occur.
ROM will only intervene during very
severe or evasive driving maneuvers.
ROM can only reduce the chance of
wheel lift occurring during severe or
evasive driving maneuvers. It cannot
prevent wheel lift due to other factors,
such as road and off-road conditions,
leaving the roadway, or striking
objects or other vehicles.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading,
road and off-road conditions, and
driving conditions, influence the
chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ROM cannot prevent all wheel
lift or roll-overs, especially those that
involve leaving the roadway or
striking objects or other vehicles. The
capabilities of a ROM-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.
Trailer Sway Mitigation (TSM) TSM uses sensors in the vehicle to
recognize an excessively swaying
trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway.
The system may reduce engine power
and apply the brake of the
appropriate wheel(s) to counteract the
sway of the trailer. TSM will become
active automatically once an
excessively swaying trailer is
recognized.
TSM cannot stop all trailers from
swaying. Always use caution when
towing a trailer and follow the trailer
tongue weight recommendations.
Refer to “Trailer Towing” in this
section for further information. When
TSM is functioning, the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” will flash (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “DashboardDriving

Tire Terminology and Definitions
Tire and Loading Information Label
The proper cold tire inflation pressure
and the loading information are listed
in two labels on the driver's side rear
door pillar. The labels tells you important
information about the:
• Cold tire inflation pressures for the
front, rear, and spare tires.
• Number of people that can be
carried in the vehicle.
• Total weight the vehicle can carry.
• Tire size designed for the vehicle.Term Definition
B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the
body located behind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation
Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire
pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) after sitting for a minimum of three
hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of PSI
(pounds per square inch) or kPa (kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation
Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum
permissible cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.
The maximum inflation pressure is molded into
the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressure Vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tire
inflation pressure as shown on the tire placard.

Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire
must not exceed the load carrying
capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
You will not exceed the tire's load
carrying capacity if you adhere to the
loading conditions, tire size, and cold
tire inflation pressures specified on the
“Tire and Loading Information Label”
and in the “Features and
Specifications” section.
NOTE:
Under a maximum loaded vehicle
condition, gross axle weight ratings
(GAWRs) for the front and rear axles
must not be exceeded.
To determine the maximum loading
conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX lbs/XXX kg” on the tire
and loading information label. The
combined weight of occupants and
cargo/luggage should never exceed
the weight referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load
Limit
• Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX lbs/XXX kg” on the vehicle's
label.
• Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in the vehicle.
• Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from
XXX lbs/XXX kg.
• The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if “XXX amount equals 1,400 lbs/635
kg and there will be five
150 lbs/68 kg passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs/295 kg (since 5 x 150/68 =
750/340, and 1,400/635– 750/340 =
650 lbs/295 kg).
• Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
previous Step.
• If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle. Tires
Driving over rough or damaged road
surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and
other obstacles can cause serious
damage to wheels, tires, and
suspension parts.
This is more likely to occur with
low-profile tires, which provide less
cushioning between the wheel and the
road.
Be careful to avoid road hazards and
reduce your speed, especially if your
vehicle is equipped with low profile
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is
dangerous. Overloading can cause tire
failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase the stopping distance. Use
tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them.Driving

Trailer Towing In this section you will find safety tips
and information on limits to the type
of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle.
NOTE:
• On the TROFEO version you can not
install the trailer tongue.
• Using original Maserati equipment
offers an advantage, compared to
aftermarket one, in terms of driving
safety and utilizing the vehicle
potential under all conditions,
especially considering that ESC and
AWD systems feature specific
settings for trailer towing. Further to
this, if vehicle use conditions so
allow, the original trailer tongue
allows use of the driver assist systems
present on-board.
• To maintain the new vehicle limited
warranty coverage, follow the
requirements and recommendations
in this chapter. Trailer Tongue Weight Maximum load of tow vehicle is
reduced by the trailer tongue weight
and the load on the same due to the
trailer. Trailer tongue weight increases
vehicle weight.
Do not exceed the maximum GVWR of
the tow vehicle, the one for each axle
(GAWR) and the mass that the vehicle
is rated to tow (GTW) specified on the
nameplate located on the rear of the
drivers door opening.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed
the maximum allowed overall GVWR
and GTW. A dangerous driving
condition can result if either rating is
exceeded.
If you use aftermarket Kit for towing,
the maximum trailer load must not
exceed 6000 lb (2700 kg).
Arranging Load on Trailer Arrange load at the bottom and as
close as possible to trailer wheel axle.
In this way the trailer center of gravity
will be lower, thereby increasing the
driving safety of the vehicle-trailer
assembly. Always load a trailer with 60% of the
weight in the front of the trailer.
Loads bearing more on wheel axle, or
heavier in the rear of the trailer, can
cause the trailer to sway severely
side-to-side which could cause loss of
control of vehicle and trailer.
WARNING!
Failure to load trailers heavier in front
is the cause of many trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue
weight stamped on your trailer hitch.
Tire Pressure Adjustment Proper tire inflation pressures of your
vehicle and trailer are essential to the
safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle while driving and in
maneuvers.
Check for signs of tire wear or visible
tire damage on trailer and vehicle
before towing a trailer.
For more information on vehicle tires,
see “Tires – General Information” in
this section.
When a trailer must be towed, inflate
vehicle tires to full load recommended
pressure (FLC) indicated in chapter
“Tire pressure” in section “Features
and Specifications”.Driving
