Key fob This vehicle is provided with two
programmed key fobs.
The key fob contains a Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter and an
emergency key that is inserted in to
the remote.
The emergency key allows you to
open the vehicle by inserting into the
lock of the opening handle on the
driver's door, in case the battery of the
vehicle or the key fob go dead. You can keep the emergency key with
you when using valet parking.
To remove the emergency key:
• hold the mechanical latch on the
back of the key fob sideways;
• simultaneously remove the
emergency key by sliding laterally
towards the end of the key fob. NOTE:
You can insert either side of the
emergency key into the lock cylinder.
Shift Ignition Device to OFF
Alert Opening the driver's door to exit the
vehicle when the ignition device is set
in ACC or RUN (engine not running), a
beep will remind you to cycle the
ignition to OFF .
In addition to the acoustic signal a
dedicated message is displayed on the
instrument cluster.
If the ignition device is left in the ACC
or RUN position, when vehicle is
locked the system will turn off the
instrument cluster and automatically
set ignition device to OFF .
With the MTC+ System, the power
window switches, radio, power
sunroof (optional), and power outlets
will remain active for up to 10 minutes

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

Remote Start System This system enables the key fob RKE
transmitter 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.
• Doors closed.
• Hood closed.
• Trunk lid 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

indicators will blink to warn anyone
within range. Apart from activating
indicators blinking when power trunk
lid is operated, it is also possible to
activate a sound warning by selecting
the relevant function within MTC+
user settings (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). When power trunk lid
edge reaches the car body, the motor
locking the latch is activated
automatically.
If necessary, the power trunk lid can
also be opened or closed manually.
This operation could be required
when the trunk lid remains open for a
long period of time.
WARNING!
• Activate power trunk lid only when
vehicle is at a standstill.
• Always pay utmost attention when
opening and closing power trunk
lid.
• After the closing command, always
make sure that power trunk lid is
completely closed. CAUTION!
• Under extreme weather conditions,
trunk lid seal could freeze and
compromise power trunk lid
automatic opening and closing.
• Before opening power trunk lid,
make sure that no objects or snow
are set on trunk lid or might jam or
prevent its opening.
Hands Free Power Trunk Release and
Closing
(if equipped)
This mode is controlled by the “Passive
Entry” system (see paragraph “Passive
Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the
power trunk lid when you place your
foot in the area under the rear
bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3
ft (1 m) of the power trunk lid.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the power trunk lid, stand
behind the vehicle, near the lid, and
move your foot under the bumper as if to kick something. Do not place
your foot too close to the bumper or
touch the underbody.
WARNING!
• Pay careful attention to the exhaust
tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
• When it is not necessary to open the
Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free with the
Hands Free mode, make sure the key
fob results outside the range of use
(3.3 ft/1 m). Otherwise, the Power
Trunk Lid/Hand Free can be opened
accidentally by an unintentional
movement of the foot.
In order for the sensors to detect your
foot
movement, move your foot

Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
If you are carrying children too small
for adult-sized seat belts, the seat
belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether
for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can
be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more
information on LATCH, refer to
“Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH)” in this section.
WARNING!
To help provide maximum protection,
you are advised to keep the seatback
in the most upright position possible
and the seat belt close to your chest
and pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in
the event of an accident you could
move too far forward and could be
injured. Travelling with the seatback
too far reclined could also be
dangerous: even if the seat belts are
fastened, they may not work
correctly. In fact, the belt itself may
not be close enough to your body
and, if it is in front of you, it could
cause neck wounds or other injuries in
an accident. Additionally, in an accident, the lower section of the belt
could press against the upper part of
your stomach rather than the pelvic
area, causing serious internal injuries.
NOTE:
The
advanced air
bags have a multi
stage inflator. This allows the air bag
to have different stages of inflation
based on the severity and type of
collision.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
• Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child restraints
should never ride in the front seat of
a vehicle with a passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag. An air bag deployment
can cause severe or fatal injury to
infants in that position.
Do not use child seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front
passenger seat. Occupants in the front
passenger seat must never sit on the
edge of the seat, leaning toward the dashboard or otherwise sit out of
position. The occupants’ back must be
as upright as comfort allows, and
must rest against the seatback with
the seat belt properly fastened. Feet
must be on the floor (i.e. not on the
dashboard, seat or out of the
window).
Children that are not big enough to
wear
the vehicle
seat belt properly
(see “Child Restraints System” in this
section) should be secured in the rear
seat in child restraints seats or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older
children who do not use child
restraints seats or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat. Never
allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
The safest place for a child that has
outgrown the child safety seat is in
the rear seat using the standard seat
belt in combination with a suitable
booster seat if needed so the seat belt
is properly located on the child.
You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint
system to make sure that you are
using it properly.Before Starting

neck injury. A belt worn under the
arm can also cause internal injuries.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and
lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. To fasten the lap belt
pull slightly up the diagonal portion
of the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in an accident.
WARNING!
• A lap belt worn too high can
increase the risk of internal injury in
an accident. The belt forces won't
impact on the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen.
Always wear the lap belt as low as
possible and keep it comfortable.
• A twisted belt will not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt is
straight. If you can't straighten a
belt in your vehicle, take it to a
Service Center immediately.
• Do not use devices (clips, fastenings
etc.) that prevent the seat belts from
laying close to the occupants bodies. • Never carry children on a passenger’s
lap.
• Position the shoulder belt on your
chest
so that
it is comfortable and
not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
• To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is
rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could break in an
accident and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt/retractor assemblies
must be replaced by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent
retractor, torn belt, etc.). Three-Point Seat Belt Height
Adjustment
WARNING!
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly
could make your injuries in a
collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt.
Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep
your passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if
any slack so that it is comfortable
and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
• Always make all seat belt height
adjustments when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster
for the driver and front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The beltBefore Starting
