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

Trunk Safety WARNING!
Do not allow children to have access
to the trunk. Always close the trunk
lid when your vehicle is unattended.
Once in the trunk, young children may
not be able to escape. If trapped in
the trunk, children can die from
suffocation or heat stroke.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release
from inside the Trunk As a security measure, an internal
trunk emergency release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of a person trapped inside
the trunk, the trunk lid can be simply
opened by pulling on the
phosphorescent handle shown in
figure. Hood Operation Opening Two latches must be released to open
the hood.
• From inside the vehicle, pull the
hood release lever located under the
left lower side of the dashboard.
• Move to the outside and stand in
front of the vehicle front grille.Before Starting

• Slightly lift the hood and push the
safety catch as indicated by the
arrow. The safety catch is located in
the center of the hood.
• Lift the hood completely: this
operation is facilitated by two gas
struts keeping the hood in the fully
open position.
With the ignition switch in RUN
position, the red symbol
will
display on the instrument cluster with
the message indicating that the hood
is open.
Closing Lower the hood, and then drop it. This
should secure the inclusion of both
latches.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
• Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the lid
is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
• Gear shifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the hood or the trunk
lid are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the transmission shift lever
and so accidentally engage gears.Occupants Restraint
Systems The listed occupants restraint systems
are some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
and shoulder belts) for the driver and
all passengers.
• Advanced front air bags for driver
and passenger.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and
passengers seated next to a window.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side air
bags.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate dual
pretensioners that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an impact.
• All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat.Before Starting

Surround View Camera
System (optional) System components The system uses four cameras to
monitor the area around the vehicle,
placed on the front grid, under the
side rearview mirrors and on the trunk
lid, between the number plate lights.
When the shift lever is shifted to R
(Reverse) position, the top view and
the rear view of the surrounding area
will be automatically displayed on
MTC+ display.
Instead, when the shift lever is shifted
to P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
position, it is possible to activate/
deactivate the system by pressing
“Surround Camera” softkey in
“Controls” screen of MTC+ display. Once the “Surround Camera” screen is
displayed, it is possible to choose
which images to display according to 4
possible settings.
Rear view and top view
Rear cross path view
Front cross path view
Front view and top view
In any shift lever condition, when
“Surround Camera” screen is
displayed, a pop-up message will
appear in the upper part for 5 seconds
to advise the drive to check the
surrounding scenario before any
manoeuvre.
With transmission in P (Park), N
(Neutral) or D (Drive), the upper right
corner of the screen will show the “X”
key: touch it to go back to the
previous screen of MTC+ display,
before entering in “Controls”.

Exhaust Gas WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
trunk open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide
entry into
the passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system. Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the Authorized Maserati
Dealer inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.

Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
This
feature provides automatic
external rearview mirrors positioning,
allowing the driver to view the ground
area behind the front doors. The
external mirrors will move slightly
downward from the current position
when the shift lever is shifted into
reverse. The external mirrors will then
return to the original position when the lever is shifted out of the reverse
position. Each memory set of the
driver's seat (see "Driver Memory
Seat" chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”)
corresponds to a mirror tilt position in
reverse.
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be
turned on and off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
