Rear Seat Folding Seatback The 60/40 split-folding seatback of the
rear seat provides for a recliner
feature with three available fixed
positions that can be set using the
lever on seat external side. The LH
lever tilts the long part (60), while the
RH lever tilts the shorter one (40).
The less tilted position (90°) is the one
most suitable when a child seat must
be installed; the other positions tilt
the seatback toward the liftgate up to
23°.
To tilt the seatback, lift the lever from
its rest position 0 to position 1 while
pushing the seatback to the back until reaching the required position. When
releasing the lever, the fixed positions
will be acknowledged by lever control
cable clicking in place to lock.
Ensure that seatback is fastened to the
position by trying to move it back and
forth. Lever control cable locks also
when fully folding the seatback down
on the seat.
To move the seatback in another
position, lift lever in position 1 and
hold it up until bringing seatback to
the new fixed position, which is
acknowledged by the cable locking in
place when releasing the lever.
WARNING!
• Ensure the seatback is always locked
in one of the fixed positions before
fastening the rear seat belts. An

unlocked seatback cannot ensure the
necessary stability for passengers
and/or for child seats. An unlocked
seatback could cause severe injuries
in case of accident.
• When fastening a child seat on
external rear seats, ensure that the
corresponding seatback is in the full
upright position.
• Always check that the head restraint
of the rear seats that must be
occupied by a passenger is correctly
adjusted (see chapter “Head
Restraints” in this section).
NOTE:
Rear
seat backrest can
be fully folded
to increase luggage space. See “Cargo
Area” in this section for further
details.
Rear Armrest The rear armrest is mobile and can be
folded up into the seatback.
• To lower it, pull the stripe as
indicated. • To close it, pull it upwards then push
it back into its seat.
On the front part of the armrest there
are two cupholders (see “Interior
Features” in this section).
CAUTION!
The armrest is not designed to support
the weight of an adult or a child:
please use it only to store beverages or
small objects.
NOTE:
Seatback
panel behind armrest
features an opening allowing you to
carry long objects or ski bags with no
need to fold the seatback. See “Cargo
Area” in this section for further
details. Rear Side Heated Seats
(optional) The side rear seats can be equipped
with heaters both in seat cushion and
seatback.
Rear seats heating can be adjusted by
operating control devices on the trim
panel of each rear door.
WARNING!
• Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must be
careful when using the seat heater. It
may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting
in a seat that has been overheated
could cause irritation due to the
increased surface temperature of the
seat.
The switch on the trim panel with the
resistance
icon activates the heating
on the corresponding seat.Understanding the Vehicle

CAUTION!
To avoid luggage inadvertent
movement, in case of sudden braking
or collision, always check correct
fastening of the retainers onto floor
rails before anchoring any luggage.
NOTE:
The Authorized
Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the available “Genuine Accessories”
for the trunk compartment.
Loading with Rear Seatbacks
Folded Down The 60/40 split-folding seatback of the
rear seat provides cargo-carrying
versatility.
The seatback folded down provides a
continuous nearly-flat extension of the load floor able to accommodate
bulky luggage, large-sized equipment
and objects that may not fit with the
normal dimensions of the trunk.
NOTE:
Both seat backs can be folded down
independently.
WARNING!
To prevent the other luggage in the
trunk from getting into the passenger
compartment and create a potential
danger for the passengers, keep trunk
cover installed when folding down
one of the two seatbacks.
When the seatbacks are unfolded to
the
upright position, make
sure they
are latched in one of the fixed
positions (see “Rear Seats” in this
section).
WARNING!
• Make sure that the seatback is
securely locked into position. If the
seatback is not securely locked into
position, the seat will not provide
the proper stability for child seats
and/or rear passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause
serious injury.
• Always check that the head restraint
of the rear seats that must be
occupied by a passenger is correctly
adjusted (see chapter “Head
Restraints” in this section).
• The cargo area in the rear of the
vehicle with the rear seatbacks in
the folded down position should not
be used as a play area by children
when the vehicle is in motion. They
could be seriously injured in a
collision. Children should be seated
and use proper restraint systems.
Ski and Snowboard Bag
Compartment To stow and safely fasten a ski and
snowboard bag, with no need to fold
down the seatback, use the opening
available at the back of the longer
seatback (60), at the level of the
armrest between the rear seats.
To reach this compartment and
properly arrange the bag, proceed as
follows.
• From inside the passenger
compartment, lower the armrest
between the rear seats.Understanding the Vehicle

Should it be necessary to position the
Cargo Net in position B - more
forward, i.e., behind the front seats -
use the top retainers next to external
rear passenger handholds.
• Lower the handhold and engage the
net top ends in the slot on roof, as
already described for the rear
retainers. • Fasten the lower tethers of Cargo
Net to external retainers, also used
to fasten the top safety belt for
children seat, available on rear seat
backrests (see chapter “Child
Restraint Systems” in section “Before
Starting”).
• Attach the Velcro appendices
indicated in the figure, as described
for the rear retainers.
When Cargo Net is no longer
necessary, release the net lower part from the fastening tethers, rewind it
on itself and fasten it to the Cargo Net
structure. Remove the Cargo Net from
its fastening points, fold it and close
the bag zip.
Store bag under trunk floor, then
restore vehicle original conditions by
repositioning all moved or removed
parts.Understanding the Vehicle
