Power Windows The window controls on the driver's
door panel govern all the door
windows.
There are single window controls on
each passenger door trim panel, which
operate the corresponding window.
The window controls will operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ACC
or RUN position. NOTE:
• The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Opening either
front door will cancel this feature.
The time lapse can be set. See “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for
further information.
• Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
WARNING!
Improper use of the power windows
and the sunroof (if equipped) can
however be dangerous, even with the
anti-pinch prevention system. Before
and during activation of the power
window, always check that the
passengers are not exposed to the risk
of injury both by the moving window
and by personal objects that could be
dragged or hit by it. Do not leave
unattended children in a vehicle with
a key fob RKE transmitter inside.
When getting out the vehicle, always
remove the key fob RKE transmitter to prevent the windows being
accidentally activated, posing a risk to
passengers remaining onboard.
Auto-Down Feature The driver door power window switch
and some model passenger door
power window switches have an
auto-down feature.
Press the window switch to the second
detent, release, and the window will
go completely down automatically.
To open the window part way, press
the window switch to the first detent
and release it when you want the
window to stop.
To stop the window from going all the
way down during the auto-down
operation, pull up on the switch
briefly.
Auto-Up Feature with
Anti-Pinch Protection Lift the window switch to the second
detent, release, and the window will
go all the way up automatically.

to stop.
NOTE:
• If the window runs into any obstacle
during auto-closure, it will reverse
direction and then go back down.
Remove the obstacle and use the
window switch again to close the
window.
• Any impact due to rough road
conditions may trigger the auto
reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this happens,
pull the switch lightly to the first
detent and hold to close the window
manually.
• Frequent activations of the
anti-pinch function could disable the
auto-down and auto-up function of
the windows. In order to re-activate
this function proceed with a reset
cycle as described in the next
paragraph.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection
when the window is almost closed. Be
sure to clear all objects from the area
before closing the window. Reset Auto-Up/Down Should the auto-up/down feature stop
working, the window probably needs
to be reset.
To reset auto-up/down, pull the

Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure or a
helicopter-type sound. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if
equipped) in open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open,
open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimize the buffeting.Before Starting

inflation rate is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output,
inflation rate, is used for more severe
collisions.
CAUTION!
• The airbag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
electrical Air Bag System Components
listed below:
– Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
– Airbag Warning light on the
instrument cluster
– Steering Wheel and Column
– Instrument Cluster
– Driver advanced front air bag
– Passenger advanced front air bag
– Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB) Air Bags
– Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
– Front and side Impact Sensors
– Front seat belt pretensioners
– Seat Belt Buckle Switch
– Seat Track Position Sensors
– Pyrotechnical charge to cut the
power from the battery: it is located on the positive battery
terminal
• The electronic control unit provides
for the activation of the
pretensioners, front air bags or side
air bags (front and rear) based on
different criteria, according to the
type of impact. Failure of one or
more systems to activate is not
indicative of a system malfunction.
• The front and/or lateral air bags may
inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent
impact involving the underbody
area, for example in case of violent
impacts against steps, sidewalks,
speed bumps, or when the vehicle
falls into potholes, or similar.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel or steering wheel because any
such objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
• Do not place anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you could be injured because the air bags may
no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag are
designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
• Always drive with your hands on
the steering wheel rim, so that the
air bag can inflate freely if required.
During the drive your back must be
as upright as comfort allows and be
against the seat back with the seat
belt properly fastened.
• Do not apply stickers or other
objects on the steering wheel, on
the dashboard in the passenger’s
side air bag area, on roof side trims
or on the seats.
• Do not travel with objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or
especially with a pipe, pencil or
other objects in your mouth. In the
event of a collision, the intervention
of the air bag could result in serious
injury.
• EXTREME HAZARD! Do not place a
rearward-facing infant seat onto the
front seat (see warning plate on the
dashboard and above and behind
the sun visors). Deployment of the
air bag in an accident could causeBefore Starting

or elbows on the door, windows or
the area in which the window bag is
located to avoid possible injury
during air bag inflation. Sit upright
in the center of the seating area.
• Do not cover the front seatbacks
with clothes or covers. Do not use
accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the side
air bags; the performance could be
adversely affected and/or objects
could cause serious injury.
• Do not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the
vehicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors
and Controls Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of the
front air bags and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision or rollover
event is required. Based on the impact
sensor's signals, a central electronic
ORC deploys the advanced front air
bags, SABIC and SAB air bags, and
front seat belt pretensioners, as required, depending on the severity
and type of impact.
On top of what previously described,
the characteristics of the collision
registered by the sensors and sent to
the control unit of the ORC can also
cause a sudden cut of the power from
the battery, “blowing” the
pyrotechnical charge located on the
positive battery terminal.
CAUTION!
After a collision that has caused the
ignition of the pyrotechnical charge,
this must be replaced at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Advanced front air bags are designed
to
provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in
certain frontal collisions depending on
the severity and type of collision.
Advanced front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The advanced front air bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions,
including those that may produce
substantial vehicle damage, for
example, some pole collisions, truck
under rides, and corner impacts. On
the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, advanced front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag
deployment will depend on the
severity and type of collision. Because
air bag sensors measure vehicle
deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage merely are not good
indicators of whether or not an air
bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also
are needed to help keep you in
position, away from an inflating air
bag. The ORC monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the RUN position. If the ignition
switch is in the OFF position, in the
ACC position, or not active, the air bag
system is not activated and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment. When starting
the vehicle, ORC turns on the air bag
warning light
