Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake switch,
brake pedal or the shift lever.
•Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle, and do not leave the key in
the ignition switch in the ACC or
MAR (ON) position. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
•Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
•An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the key
from vehicle, cycle the ignition
switch to STOP (OFF) and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
•In the event of tampering with the

30 seconds, you will need to turn it
back toMAR (ON)and then toSTOP
(OFF)position to have a further 30
seconds within which to remove the
key.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible to
shift the transmission shift lever to P
(Park) position, to remove the key
from the ignition switch you must turn
it toSTOP (OFF)position, then:
• remove the cap indicated in the

WARNING!
Gearshifting is always active and may
be performed even when one or more
doors, the engine compartment lid 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.
Power Windows
The power windows can only be
activated when the key in the ignition
switch is in theMAR (ON)position.
The controls for all power windows
are located in the armrest of the door
on the driver’s side. The external
switch commands the power window
driver’s side; the inner switch
commands the power window
passenger’s side.
The door on the passenger side only
has control for the window on the
passenger side.NOTE:
•The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the key in the ignition switch is
turned to theSTOP (OFF)position.
Opening either door will cancel this
feature.
•Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
•If the power window is closed when
the door is open, the window stops
before the upper limit so as not to
interfere with the seal when the
door is closed.

Lift the hood completely: this
operation is facilitated by two gas
struts keeping the fully open position.
With the key in the ignition switch in
MAR (ON)position, the specific red
warning light will display on the
instrument cluster with the message
indicating that the hood is open (see
chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instrument and
Controls”).
Closing
Lower the hood to about 20 cm (8 in)
from the contact area of the engine
compartment and then drop it. This
should secure the inclusion of the
latch.
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.
• Front air bags for driver and
passenger.
• Seat-mounted side air bags for the
driver and front passenger.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate a
pretensioner (Emergency Tensioning
Device - ETD) that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an impact.
• Front seat belt retractors are
equipped with load limiting devices
which control the seat belt reeling
out so as to adjust the force exerted
on the shoulders while the seat belt
is in restraining mode.
• All seat belts system (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

Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments
Low Fuel Indicator on Fuel Gage
The illumination of the red indicator
inside the gage indicates that there
are approx. 4.7 Gallons (18 liters) of
fuel in the tank.
If the pointer positions on "0"
(beginning of scale) and the fuel
reserve indicator flashes, it means that
there is a system malfunction.
In this case, contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerto have the system
checked.
Telltales on Speedometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the fuel level gage and speedometer,
and related messages are visible for 10
seconds on the central sector of the
display, unless otherwise indicated.The telltales indicated with (*) are also
displayed on the TFT display (see “TFT
Display” paragraph in this chapter).
Charging System Warning Light
This warning light shows the
status of the electrical
charging system. If the light
stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or
increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system warning light
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Require IMMEDIATE
service at anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Start Procedures” in section “In
an Emergency”.Malfunction Indicator Light (*)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the key in the ignition switch is in
MAR (ON)position and switch off
soon after the engine is started.
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lighted up or switches on
while driving, there is a failure in the
fuel supply/ignition and emission
control systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Under these conditions you can
proceed slowly without forcing the
engine or driving at high speeds.
The indicator light will switch off if
the problem is solved.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.

CAUTION!
• When the key on the key in the
ignition switch is in theMAR (ON)
position and if the indicator light
does not switch on or if it switches
on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealeras soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.
Parking Lights Indicator
With the key removed from
the ignition switch, it indicates
that the parking lights are on.
Transmission Failure Warning Light (*)
Depending on the message
displayed it signals:
• a transmission failure. If the
failure permits, slowly drive
to the nearestAuthorized
Maserati Dealer;• a too high temperature of the
transmission oil. In this case, slow
down until the temperature goes
down to the normal values for use
(the warning light goes off).
For further information see chapter
“Automatic Transmission” in section
“Driving”.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the
transmission temperature warning
light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or failure.
WARNING!
If the transmission temperature
warning light is illuminated and you
continue operating the vehicle, in
some circumstances you could cause
the fluid to boil over, come in contact
with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.Low Oil Pressure Warning Light (*)
Under normal conditions, the
warning light illuminates
when the key in the ignition
switch is turned toMAR (ON)
position and goes off as soon as the
engine is started.
If the warning light stays or turns on
while driving, the engine oil pressure is
too low. The warning light is combined
with a displayed message. In this case,
turn the engine off immediately and
carry out the necessary checks.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
problem has been solved. This light
does not indicate the oil level. The
engine oil level must be checked with
the dipstick located under the hood
(see “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Headlight On Indicator
This indicator will illuminate
when the position lights or
headlights are turned on.
For further details, see
“Lights” in section “Understanding the
Vehicle”.
