Keys The vehicle is equipped with a Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node, to enter, start and
protect the vehicle.
Keyless Ignition Device This device allows the driver to
operate the ignition switch with the
push of a button, as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
is inside the vehicle.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
three operating setups indicated on
the outer ring. Pressing and releasing
the middle button, you can switch
from one setup to the next without
starting the engine, the switched on
indication will turn amber.
The engine will start by pushing the
center button START/STOP with the
brake pedal pressed and the device set
in any of the three operating setups. In case the ignition switch does not
change by pushing a button, the RKE
transmitter (key fob) may have a low
or discharged battery. If this occurs it is
necessary to replace the battery in
order to operate the ignition switch
(see “Requiring and Setting Additional
Key fobs” in this section).
It is still possible to operate the
ignition device using the key fob RKE
transmitter with discharged battery by
pressing the nose side (side opposite of
the emergency key) of the key fob on
the START/STOP button.Before Starting

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
start prematurely:
• “Remote Start Canceled Door
Open”.
• “Remote Start Canceled Liftgate
Open”.
• “Remote Start Canceled Fuel Low”.
• “Remote Start Canceled Time
Expired”.
• “Remote Start Disabled Start Vehicle

the position of the vehicle with little
suspension movements to ensure a
proper appearance.
Display Messages
After shifting selector to change
position, a pop-up message will
indicate for 5 seconds when set
position has been reached (after
pneumatic suspension system
intervention that might last up to 30
seconds).
This type of message will be displayed
only if the option to view all
pneumatic suspension system messages
was set (For further details, refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
Set ride height and drive mode can be
monitored on instrument cluster
display via “Drive mode” menu, using
buttons on the right-hand side of the steering wheel (see chapter
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The change from one position to
another can occur only if the following
requirements are met.
• Lifting: engine running, speed lower
than preset limit, etc.
• Lowering: engine running, speed
lower than preset limit, doors closed,
etc.
Ride height change can be temporarily
suspended or disabled under the
following conditions, as indicated in
the pop-up messages on instrument
cluster display.
• High speed: decrease speed to set
new height.
• Pneumatic suspension system
overheat: wait for the system to cool
down before changing height.
• Door(s) and/or liftgate open: close
door(s) and liftgate to lower the
vehicle.
• Pneumatic suspension system
temporarily disabled or in fault: wait
a few minutes and repeat the
operation or contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer . • Low battery: start the engine to
recharge battery and change ride
height.
• Entry/Exit position not available:
check the cause preventing this
control.
Using the Ride Height Positions and
speed Thresholds
The different ride heights that can be
set with the selector allow user to
drive the vehicle on and off road,
using the available drive modes and
functions.
NOTE:
The indications below explain as a
general rule which selector position
has to be used in certain situations and
which are the speed thresholds at
which it is possible to set the available
ride height and when system
automatically switches to a different
height. In any case, the driver must
always assess and set the ride height
and drive mode most suitable to the
conditions of the current driving path
on a case by case basis.
• Normal : normal ground clearance.
This is the standard height position
of the pneumatic suspension and is
meant for normal road conditions.Driving

WARNING!
• In order to obtain a more accurate
reading, the compressor should be
switched off when checking the tire
pressure of the compact spare wheel
on the pressure gauge.
• Do not run the compressor for more
than 20 minutes: there is a risk it
could overheat. Also, prolonged
power absorption may discharge the
battery, subsequently preventing
the engine from starting. • The compressor has been designed

• off-road;
• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear; • check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter.
CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as
well as engine emissions suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.Maintenance and Care
