for further information.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
• Do not allow children to be in a
vehicle unattended or with access to
an unlocked vehicle. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake
trigger, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition switch in the ACC or RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
• An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the key fob
from vehicle, cycle the ignition switch to OFF and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer
System The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle
operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, an
ignition switch and a RF (Radio
Frequency) receiver to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only key fobs expressly
programmed can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light (see
picture) will light up for a three
seconds bulb check.Before Starting
2
26

If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics: this
condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation
(engine running for longer than 10
seconds), an electronic fault is
detected. Should this occur, contact
the Authorized Maserati Dealer as
soon as possible for assistance.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer system is
not compatible with some remote
starting systems that can be installed
in after-market.
Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All key fobs provided with the new
vehicle
have been updated with the
vehicle electronics and are therefore
able to guarantee correct functioning
and protection. Radio Frequency RKE
Transmitter - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio and radar frequency devices
can be consulted by accessing the
"Services" section on the website
www.maserati.com.
Replacement Key fobs NOTE:
Only key fobs that are updated with
the vehicle electronics can be used to
start and operate the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from
the vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
• Always remember to cycle the
ignition switch to OFF.
Duplication of key fobs may be
performed
by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer only.
This procedure consists of
programming a key fob that has never
been programmed to the vehicle’s
electronics. NOTE:
• When having the Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer System serviced, bring
all key fobs provided with the
vehicle with you to the Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
• When selling the vehicle, it is
necessary to provide the new owner
with all key fobs.Before Starting

Vehicle Security Alarm The vehicle security alarm monitors the
vehicle doors and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the
START/STOP button for unauthorized
operations.
The system includes a dual function
anti-intrusion sensor and vehicle
anti-lift sensor. The anti-intrusion
sensor monitors the vehicle interior for
motion.
The vehicle anti-lift sensor monitors
the vehicle for any lifting or tilting
actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery
backup which senses interruptions of
power and communications is also
included.
While the vehicle security alarm is
enabled, interior door locks switches,
trunk lid and fuel filler door release
are disabled. If something triggers the
alarm, the vehicle security alarm will
provide the following audible and
visible signals: intermittent buzzer,
position lights and/or turn signals and
the vehicle security light on the
dashboard will flash.
This light will fast flash for
approximately 15 seconds, when the
vehicle security alarm is being armed, and will then flash slowly until the
vehicle is disarmed.
Rearming the System If something triggers the security
alarm, and no quick action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm
will turn off the beeper after 29
seconds, and turn off all of the visual
signals after 31 more seconds; the
vehicle security alarm will then rearm
itself. Arming the System Follow these steps to arm the vehicle
security alarm.
• Make sure the vehicle ignition switch
is OFF .
• Perform one of the following
methods to lock the vehicle:
• Press the
lock button on the
interior power door lock switch
located on the driver door trim
panel with the driver and/or
passenger door open.Before Starting

• Press the button on the exterior
“Passive Entry” door handle
having a valid key fob RKE
transmitter in the same exterior
zone (see “Passive Entry System” in
this section for further
information).
• Press the
lock button on the key
fob RKE transmitter. • If any door is open, close it.
In any of these situations, if one or
more windows are open, they will
remain open. To close the windows
press again the
lock button and
hold it until their closure.
When arming the alarm system in any
of the described ways, the power
trunk lid will remain open if it was left
open. In this condition, it will be
necessary to first close the trunk lid as
described under “Power Trunk Lid
Operation” in this section, and repeat
the arming operation, to be able to
arm the alarm system.
The buttons - located at the right
bottom of the trunk lid and indicated
in the figure - can be used to
completely close and lock the trunk
lid, lock all the doors and arm the
alarm system if all the doors and trunk
lid are closed. See chapter “Power Trunk Lid
Operation” in this section for further
information.
Each time the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the anti-intrusion and anti-lift
sensors actively monitor the vehicle.
When arming the security alarm, it is
possible to disable these sensors by
pressing the
button on the key fob
three times within 5 seconds from the
moment the system has been armed
(meanwhile the security alarm light
flashes rapidly).Before Starting
2
29

To disarm the System Use any of the following steps to
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
• Press the button on key fob RKE
transmitter.
• Grasp the “Passive Entry” unlock
door handle (see “Passive Entry
System” in this section for further
information).
• Press the START/STOP button so as to
release the OFF position.
NOTE:
• When the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the interior power door lock
switch will not allow unlocking of
the doors.
• The use of the emergency key into
the driver door lock and the use of
the button
on the key fob
cannot arm or disarm the security
alarm of the vehicle.
• The vehicle security alarm remains
engaged while accessing the power
trunk lid. Pressing the button
between the license plate lights will
not disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If anyone enters the vehicle through
the trunk lid and opens a door, the
alarm will trigger. The vehicle security alarm is designed
to protect your vehicle; however, you
can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If
one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle
security alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not.
If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will activate. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security
alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed
and the battery becomes disconnected,
the vehicle security alarm will remain
armed when the battery is
reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the buzzer will activate. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security
alarm.
Tamper Alert If something has triggered the vehicle
security alarm in your absence, the
horn will sound three times when you
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Check the vehicle for tampering.Illuminated Entry/Exit Lights will turn on and off when you
enter/exit the vehicle and operate the
buttons on the key fob RKE
transmitter and/or on the “Passive
Entry” system as follows:
• If the unlock command is enabled by
