Vehicle Security Alarm
The vehicle security alarm system
performs the following functions:
• remote control of the centralized
door locking/unlocking system;
• perimeter surveillance, detecting the
opening of doors, engine/trunk
compartment lids;
• motion surveillance, detecting
intrusion in the passenger
compartment;
• vehicle movement surveillance.
NOTE:
The engine immobilizer operation is
guaranteed by the Maserati CODE
system, which is automatically
activated when the key is removed
from the ignition switch.
Alarm System Activation
Press thelock button on the key to
activate the security alarm system.• The turn signals flash once.
• The system beeps.
• The red LEDs on the front door
panels flash.
• The vehicle centralized door locking
is activated and the doors are locked.
The system becomes operative after
approximately 25 seconds and the
alarm is activated when:
• a door is opened;
• the trunk compartment lid is opened;
• the engine compartment lid is
opened;
• someone attempts to enter the
vehicle from a window;
• the power supply is disconnected;
• the siren is disconnected;
• the vehicle is moved.
When the vehicle security alarm is
active, the user may request the trunk
compartment opening; in this case, themotion and inclination sensors are
temporarily deactivated.
If the trunk compartment lid is then
closed, the sensors will be reactivated.
Should the turn signals flash 9 times
when you activate the security alarm
system, this means that one of the
doors or lids is not properly closed and
therefore is not protected by the
perimeter surveillance.
Check for correct closing of doors,
engine/trunk compartment lids and
close the open one without
deactivating the security alarm system:
the turn signals flashing once indicate
that now the door, engine/trunk
compartment lids are closed properly
and are protected by the perimeter
surveillance.
CAUTION!
If the turn signals flash 9 times when
the security alarm system is activated
with doors, front and rear lids properly
closed, this means that the
self-diagnostic function has detected a
malfunction in the system and that
you should contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerto have the system
checked.

air bag cover gets damaged, have
the air bag module immediately
checked by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
•Activation of a damaged module
could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Please note that your vehicle is not
capable of automatically detecting
damage to the air bag cover.
Operation and Replacement
The air bags are controlled by the OCR
that is designed to activate them in
the case of a head-on collision of
sufficient force.
In the event of a collision with an
impact force that causes deceleration
exceeding the value set for the
internal sensor, the OCR will transmit a
signal to deploy the air bags. The air
bags will begin to inflate, breaking
the cover along the breakage line and
will inflate completely in a few
milliseconds. Once inflated, they will
serve as a protection between the
driver and/or passenger and structures
that could cause injury.
The air bags deflate immediately
afterward.NOTE:
When the system starts operating,
gases are released in the form of
fumes, together with the gas used for
inflating the air bags.
These gases are not harmful.

General Warnings
WARNING!
•When the key in the ignition switch
is turned to the MAR (ON) position,
the
warning light illuminates, but
it must turn off after approx. 5
seconds. If this warning light does
not illuminate, if it remains
permanently on or if it illuminates
while driving, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer immediately.
•Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that, in the
case of activation, the air bag can
deploy without encountering
obstacles which may cause serious
injuries.
•Do not drive with your body bent
forward but keep the seatback in the
upright position and fully resting
your back against it.
•Do not apply stickers or other
objects to the steering wheel or the
passenger’s air bag compartment.
•Do not travel with objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or
especially with a pipe, pencil or
other object held in your mouth; In
the event of a collision with air bagdeployment these objects may cause
serious injuries.
•Do not cover the front seat backs
with clothes or covers.
•Note that with the key in the
ignition switch turned to MAR (ON)
position, even with the engine off,
the air bags may activate even if the
vehicle is stationary, if it is run into
by another vehicle. Therefore, even
with the vehicle stationary, children
must be secured by the specific child
restraint systems installed on the
passenger seat. In addition, the air
bags will not activate in the event of
a collision with the vehicle
stationary and the key removed
from the ignition switch; failure of
the air bags to deploy in these
circumstances is not indicative of a
system malfunction.
•If the vehicle was stolen or its theft
attempted, if it was vandalized or
involved in flooding, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to have
the air bag system checked.
•If incorrect operations are performed
on the electrical system, the air bag
