Loading with Rear Seatbacks
Folded Down The 60/40 split-folding rear seat with
folding option on the smaller side
only, provides cargo-carrying
versatility.
The seatback fold down easily by
pulling tab between the seatback and
the bolster. The seat folded down, provides a
continuous nearly-flat extension of the
load floor able to accommodate large
sized equipment and objects (such as
the “Maserati Ski and Snowboard
Bag”) that may not fit with the normal
dimensions of the trunk.
Ski and Snowboard Bag Housing
To safely store the Ski and Snowboard
Bag:
• Tilt forward the short seatback side. • Secure the rear hook of the bag to
the eyelet located on the rear wall of
the trunk.
• Wrap the belt around the seat back
of the folded seat and fasten the belt
buckle.
• Tighten the belt as much as necessary
to prevent the bag from moving.
When the seatback is folded to the
upright position, make sure it is
latched by strongly pulling on the top
of the seatback above the seat strap.
WARNING!
• Make sure that the seatback is
securely locked into position. If the
seatback is not securely locked into
position, the seat will not provide
the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. An improperlyUnderstanding the Vehicle

• In a collision, there is a greater risk
of being thrown from the vehicle if
the sunroof is open. Always fasten
your seat belt properly and make
sure all passengers are properly
secured too.
• Do not allow small children to
operate the sunroof. Never insert
fingers, other body parts, or any
object through the opening sunroof.
CAUTION!
• In the event of rain, always close the
sunroof to prevent water infiltrations
from staining the fabric/leather
upholstery.
• Do not open the sunroof if there is
ice on it: risk of damage.
Slide Opening Sunroof • Full automatic express opening

and will occur regardless of sunroof
position. During this opening
operation, any movement of the
button will stop the sunroof.
Pinch Protect Feature This feature will detect an obstruction
in the opening of the sunroof during
express close operation. If an
obstruction is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. If this occurs,
remove the obstruction then press the
right front button and release to
express close. NOTE:
If three consecutive attempts to close
in express mode the sunroof result in
pinch protect reversals, the fourth
attempt will be manual, with pinch
protect feature disabled.
Pinch Protect Override
If any obstruction (ice, debris, etc.)
prevents closing the sunroof, press the
right front button and hold for two
seconds after the reversal occurs. This
allows the sunroof to move toward the
closed position.
NOTE:
Pinch protection is disabled while
pressing the right front button.
Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure or a
helicopter-type sound. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof in
certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimised. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open,
then open the front and rear windows
together to minimise the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroofUnderstanding the Vehicle

continuous sound will advise the
driver to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.
After the bulb check or while driving,
if a seat belt is unbuckled, together
with the acoustic signal the seat belt
reminder light will light up and a
message will indicate which belt is not
fastened.
WARNING!
Maserati urges you to use the seat
belts correctly fastened and adjusted
at all times. Correct use of the seat
belts can help reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of an
accident. Do not pass seat belts over
sharp edges. They could tear. Do not
pin anything to the seat belts. This
could reduce their initial strength and cause them to tear in the event of a
crash.

Active Alternator To improve overall efficiency by
reducing the auxiliary loads on the
engine, the vehicle is equipped with a
smart alternator that is mainly active
in the latter energy balance phases
(for example, during braking, coasting
and overloading).
The alternator becomes active when
the battery charge is insufficient and
when the vehicle exits from the
braking and overload situations.
Active Alternator Feature (if feature is
available)
In the I.C.E. screen, the user can
display in the form of dynamic bars
some informative parameters on the
state of battery charge ("CHARGE"),
efficiency of drive style ("EFFICIENCY")
and the matured economy (
bonus
range) expressed in miles (mi) or
kilometres (km). The bonus range (about 37 mi/60 km
for each full of fuel) is automatically
reset every time the vehicle is
refueled.
Parking Brake The vehicle is equipped with an
electric automatic parking brake, also
called EPB (Electric Parking Brake).
The EPB braking action is ensured by a
“Performance Dual Cast” or “Dual
Cast” braking system with dedicated
calliper which acts on each rear brake
disc.
It can be automatically engaged when
the engine is turned off and
disengaged with engine running,
driver seatbelt latched and driver door
closed, while pressing the brake pedal
and operating the shift lever.
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold with
the gearshift in P (Park) to avoid
damage to the vehicle. EPB can be
disengaged before turning off the
vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied,
the warning light
lights up on
the tachometer display and the
related message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for 5 seconds (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).Driving

and away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
Apply the parking brake before
placing the shift lever in P (Park),
otherwise the load on the
transmission locking mechanism may
make it difficult to move the shift
lever out of P (Park).
In certain conditions, it is however
advisable to disengage the parking brake manually and slightly apply the
service brake for starting off. This is
advisable when there are obstacles
very close to the vehicle in the
direction in which you intend to move.
“Drive Away Inhibit” strategy In order to avoid a dangerous
condition resulting from leaving the
vehicle “not braked” with running engine and without driver on board,
“Drive Away Inhibit” strategy alerts
the driver with messages on the
instrument cluster display and
sounding chimes, then puts the
transmission in P (Park).
The table shows the vehicle condition
and the action that the system runs to
exit the dangerous condition.
Vehicle condition Action of the driver
The system puts the
transmission in P
(Park) position.• Engine running and speed lower than
1.8 mph (3 km/h).
• Transmission in any position other P
(Park).
• Driver safety belt unlocked.
• Driver door opened.
• Brake pedal pressed. The driver releases the brake pedal to
get out of the vehicle.
Warnings Warnings
• Slow continuous chime.
• The condition of the vehicle not in P
(Park) position will be signaled by a
message on the display. • Fast chime.
• A message which invites to engage
the parking brake to prevent vehicle
movement will be displayed on the
display. Driving
