• Pulling the control to 1 or 2 detent:
the window closes partially or
completely and the sunshade
remains rolled.
• Pressing the control to 1 or 2 detent:
no action (NOP).
Teaching Cycle
After battery disconnection, the
following teaching cycle is required to
store the limit positions the sunshades.
Use the controls on the rear doors to
move the sunshades.
• With glass closed, lift rear sunshade
control on driver side for a few
seconds. It is not necessary that the
sunshade reaches its upper limit.
• Reverse the sunshade movement by
pressing the control downwards.
Once the lower limit is reached, press
and hold the control for at least 10
seconds. This action allows setting
the control unit in initialisation
status.
• Release the movement command.
• Within maximum 15 seconds:
• Press once the control downwards

the control unit stores the lower limit position. During this
operation a slight click of the
sunshade motor that switches to
mechanical lock condition can be
heard.
• Lift the control and hold it up until
the sunshade completes its
upstroke and reaches the car body
pillar, fully home. Once the upper
limit stop is reached, the sunshade
will move downwards for approx.
2-3 millimetres and the control unit
will store this height as the upper
limit. Now the teaching of the
driver side rear sunshade is
complete.
• Repeat the same operations for the
passenger side rear sunshade to
complete the teaching procedure.Rear Window Rear Window Defroster The rear window defroster button is
located on the climate control panel.

WARNING!
Certain components of this vehicle
such as air bag modules, seat belt
pretensioners, adaptive steering
columns, and button cell batteries
may contain Perchlorate material.
Special handling may apply for service
or vehicle end of life disposal. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.
Defroster
Check
operation by
selecting the
defrost mode and place the fan system
on high speed (see “Air Conditioning
Controls” chapter in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
You should be able to feel the air
directed against the windshield and
front side windows. Contact
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your
vehicle.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor
mats included in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the
size of the pedal area and interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
Tires
•
Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.Before Starting
