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

When the power trunk lid is
completely open if you press and
release the RH 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 RH 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 RH
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 RH
button
, the doors will not be
locked and the alarm system will not
be armed immediately, but only when
the power trunk lid will have reached
the totally closed position as effect of
every movement commands received
from every other available inputs.
NOTE:
• The order of the functions shown
does not represent the sequence in
which they can be performed.
• The buttons of the power trunk lid
do not work if a gear is engaged or if the vehicle speed is higher than 0
(km/h - mph).
• The power trunk lid does not work
with temperatures lower than −22 °F
(−30 °C) or higher than 150 °F (65 °C).
• If the opening buttons or the
handles are operated while the
power trunk lid is closing, the stroke
of lid stops. Pressing another time
the same command it reverses
movement and fully open.
• If the opening buttons or the handle
are operated while the power trunk
lid is opening, the motor of the lid is
disabled to allow manual operation.
• If the power trunk lid finds several
obstacles during the same operating
cycle, it will stop automatically and
must be opened or closed manually.
• If the power trunk lid is closing and a
gear is engaged, the lid will continue
closing. In this condition, it is possible
that, during the closing stroke, it
may find an obstacle and stop.
Set the Position of Maximum Power
Trunk Lid Opening
The maximum opening position of the
trunk lid can be modified using the
previously described buttons on its
right lower side.
1. Activate the trunk lid and stop it in the new maximum opening position
to be set, by pressing the LH
button.
2. Press the LH
and RH buttons
at the same time and keep them
pressed for 3 seconds.
3. Release both buttons. Upon the
following opening controls, the
trunk lid will stop in the stored
position.
If you want to reset the maximum
possible opening position of the
power trunk lid, proceed as described
below starting from the previously set
opening position.
1. Manually push the trunk lid to the
maximum possible opening
position.
2. Repeat the previously performed
steps 2 and 3.
Power Trunk Lid Automatic Safe
Movement
Power trunk lid safe opening and
closing is ensured by a protection
system able to stop its movement
when an obstacle is detected along the
path: when opening or closing, it stops
automatically and then slightly moves
back.
After the closing command, when
power trunk lid starts closing, all theBefore Starting

sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the power trunk lid
will activate within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop;
• after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid will:
• completely close but not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement;
• if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
NOTE:
• If your foot movement fails to
activate the power trunk lid
movement, wiggling your foot under
the bumper will not help. Repeat the
whole kick movement.
• In particular situations, external
factors affecting the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power trunk
lid release feature. For example,
when washing the vehicle, a water
jet aimed at the sensor area may trigger the “Hands free” power
trunk release feature. Keep the key
fob RKE transmitter away from the
sensing range of the sensors (10 ft/3
m) or disable the “Hands free”
feature from the MTC+ menu (see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). A key fob RKE transmitter
located in the front seat passenger
area is considered out of range of
the “Hands free” trunk lid release
sensor.
• If somebody or something knocks
against the power trunk lid while it is
moving, the safety system might stop
lid opening or closing movement.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release If accessing the trunk from the rear
seats, operate the emergency release
lever (see the chapter "Trunk Safety"
in this section) in order to lower the
rear seat backrest (see "Cargo Area" in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”).
If the power release control operated
by pressing the button on the dome
console fails, which may occur when
the battery is low on voltage, it is
possible to temporarily power the
system by using the battery remote
poles located inside the engine compartment (see “Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency”). Thus it is possible to
normally open the trunk lid by using
the key fob RKE transmitter. Have the
vehicle checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer in order to solve the
failure.Before Starting
