Automatic Opening and
Closing Movement of the
Power Trunk Lid Automatic opening and closing
movement of the power trunk lid is
driven by electric actuators and a
motorized latch ensuring lid locking
upon closing.
The
button on key fob and button
on dome console not only allows user
to completely open the power trunk
lid, but also to stop it at any
intermediate position by pressing the
button again whenever you wish to
stop and resume the opening process.
In addition to these commands, it is
possible open and close the power
trunk lid, or stop its movement, by
simply moving your foot under the
rear bumper, as specified in the
paragraph “Hands Free Power Trunk
Release and Closing”. In this latter
case, the power trunk lid will be
opened and closed only if the “Passive
Entry” system acknowledges the
presence of the key fob RKE
transmitter within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the
power trunk lid.
Power trunk lid uses the button
in-between the license plate lights,
indicated in figure, to activate the
opening once the car has been unlocked by the key fob or by the
“Passive Entry” function.
By pressing this button when the
power trunk lid is closed, you can
open it completely, or by pressing the
button again stop the opening
process, or by pressing the button
again invert the movement and close
it completely.
When the power trunk lid is open, to
move it there are two buttons
positioned on its right lower part as
indicated in figure. When the power trunk lid is
completely open if you press and
release the LH button
, the power
trunk lid will be completely closed
unless it is stopped;
• if instead the power trunk lid is in an
intermediate position and you press
and release the LH button
during
the closing or opening stroke, it will
be stopped;
• if instead the power trunk lid is
stopped in an intermediate position
and you press and release the LH
button
, it will reverse its previous
movement and it will be completely
opened or closed unless it is stopped
again.
In any case, when you press the LH
button
, the doors will not be
locked and the alarm system will not
be armed.Before Starting

RCP - Rear Cross Path The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when gear
in reverse of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on
either side of the rear bumper, it
detects any vehicles or objects that are
moving toward the side of the vehicle
with a minimum speed of
approximately 1 to 2 mph (1 km/h to
3 km/h) to a maximum of
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h), such
as in parking lot situations. NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming
vehicles can be obscured by vehicles
parked on either side. If the sensors
are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to
alert the driver.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an
oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP
system will alert the driver using both
the visual and audible alarms. If the
radio is on, it will also reduce the
radio volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More specifically, it is intended to be used
to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing
up, even when using RCP. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle,
look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots
before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Battery Statement Battery Statement Status of
Charge To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The warning light
on the
instrument cluster, will indicate any
malfunctions in the recharge circuit or
an insufficient battery charge status
(example in figure).
The vehicle contains advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which consume power even when the
ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the vehicle is not being used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and
that all the electrical/electronic systems
in the vehicle work efficiently.
Maintaining Battery Charge If you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 miles/16 km), which
correspond to an annual total of 4000
miles/6000 km, or when the vehicle is
not going to be used for one week or
more, Maserati recommends
connecting the vehicle to a battery
charger, to save you the trouble of
having to recharge the battery. The
battery charger will keep the battery
charged properly and at the correct
voltage levels required by the systems
and devices in the vehicle.
Before using and/or connecting the
battery charger, carefully follow the
instructions provided.
If you do not use a battery charger to
prevent the battery from going dead
when you are not going to use the
vehicle for long periods of time, you
need to check and recharge the
battery at least once every three
weeks. Make this check if you perform short daily trips (approximately 10
miles/16 km) which correspond to an
annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km.
Please note that allowing the battery
to go dead repeatedly can cause
premature wear on the internal cells
and greatly reduce their life, leading
to problems with the ignition system
and other electrical/electronic systems.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to advise you on how to
recharge your battery correctly and
give you useful information on battery
care and maintenance.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Battery
Charger and Conditioner”, available in
the “Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times:
• always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilatedMaintenance and Care
