Remote Start System On the vehicles that are equipped
with this system, the key fob RKE
transmitter enables to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The
system has a range of approximately
300 ft (91 m). Obstructions between
the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate
from a normal distance, check for
these conditions:
• A weak battery in the RKE
transmitter. The expected life of the
battery is a minimum of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radio.
• Obstructions between the vehicle
and the Key Fob. How to use Remote Start All of the following conditions must
be met before the engine will remote
start:
• System not disabled from previous
remote start event.
• Vehicle theft alarm not active.
• Vehicle Panic mode not active.
• Doors closed.
• Hood closed.
• Power liftgate closed.
• Hazard lights switched off.
• Brake pedal not pressed.
• Battery at an acceptable charge
level.
• The shift lever is in P (Park) position.
• The vehicle transmission is in
automatic mode.
• The remote start has not been
activated yet two consecutive times.
If EPB (Electric Parking Brake) is not
selected, at key-off in some conditions
the remote start system may not allow
engine to start. We suggest to set
“Auto Apply On” function through
the switch on the right-side of the
steering wheel (refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instrument and Controls”). WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a
closed garage or confined area.
Exhaust gas contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless
and colorless
• Keep key fobs RKE transmitter away
from children. Operation of the
Remote Start System, windows,
door locks or other controls could
cause serious injury or death.
Engine Remote Start Abort
Message on Instrument Cluster The following messages will display on
the instrument cluster if the vehicle
fails to remote start or exits remote

Exhaust Gas WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
liftgate open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide
entry into the
passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system. Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the Authorized Maserati
Dealer inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more

Three primary driving aspects are
affected by improper tire pressure:
Safety
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires can be
dangerous.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing
and can result in tire overheating.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability
to cushion shock. Objects on the
road and potholes can cause damage
that results in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires
can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side
of the vehicle to the other can cause
the vehicle to drift to the right or
left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated
to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
Economy
Improper
inflation pressures may cause
uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal
wear patterns will reduce tread life
resulting in a need for earlier tire
replacement. Under-inflation also
increases tire rolling resistance
resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Ride comfort and vehicle stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over-inflation
produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
Tire Pressure Checkup The proper cold tire inflation pressure
is indicated on the driver's side rear
door pillar and on the table “Tire
Inflation Pressure” in section “Features
and Specifications”.
Inflation pressure specified on the
table always refers to “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 mi (1.6 km) after a three hour
period.
Check tire pressures more often in case
of significant outside temperature
changes, as tire pressure varies
according to temperature changes.
The pressure should be checked and if
necessary adjusted; tire wear and overall conditions should also be
checked monthly. Tire pressures
change by approximately 1 PSI (0.07
bar) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when
checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F
(20°C) and the outside temperature =
32°F (0°C) then the cold tire inflation
pressure should be increased by 3 PSI
(0.21 bar) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6
PSI (0.13 to 0.4 bar) during operation.
DO NOT reduce this normal pressure
build-up or your tire pressure will be
too low. After inspecting or adjusting
the tire pressure, always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the
valve stem and the TPMS sensor
connected to it.
Tread Wear Indicators Tread wear indicators are in the
original equipment tires to help you
determine when your tires should be
replaced.
These indicators are molded into the
bottom of the tread grooves.Driving
