Immobilizer System
The Maserati CODE System
In order to increase protection against
theft, the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
(Maserati CODE), which is
automatically activated when the key
is removed from the ignition switch.
Each starter key contains an electronic
device which transmits a code signal to
the Maserati CODE control unit, and
engine ignition is enabled only if the
key code is recognized by the system.
Key Codes
A CODE card is supplied with the keys.
This card indicates the following:
• the “ELECTRONIC CODE” to be used
for emergency starting (see
"Emergency Starting with Maserati
Code" in section "In an Emergency");
• the “MECHANICAL CODE” to be
provided to anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerif you request duplicates of
the keys.
NOTE:
•The code numbers shown on the
CODE card should be kept in a safe
place.•You are advised to always keep the
CODE card number with you, as it is
absolutely necessary in the event of
“Emergency Starting”.
•In the event of a vehicle ownership
transfer, it is essential that the new
owner is provided with all the keys
and with the CODE card.
•It is advisable to write down and
keep the codes listed on the plates
delivered with the keys and the
remote control in a safe place (not in
the vehicle) in order to request
duplicates if needed.
CODE System Operation
Each time the key in the ignition
switch is removed in theSTOP (OFF)
position, protection system activates
the engine immobilizer.
When the engine is started and the
key is turned toMAR (ON)position:• If the code is recognized, the CODE
warning light on the instrument
cluster turns off within a second,
while the MIL
warning light,
once the ECU diagnosis has been
completed, goes off after about four
seconds. In these conditions, the
protection system recognizes the key
code and deactivates the engine
immobilizer. When the key in the
ignition switch is turned toAVV
position, the engine starts.
• If the CODE
warning light
remains on and the MIL
warning
light goes off after four seconds (ECU
diagnostics) and illuminates again
immediately afterward, the code has
not been recognized and the
message “Electronic key not
recognized” is displayed. If this
occurs, turn the key in the ignition
switch toSTOP (OFF)and then back
toMAR (ON)position. If the
immobilizer stays on, try with the
other keys. If you still cannot start
the engine, try the emergency start
procedure (see "Emergency Starting
with Maserati Code" in section "In
an Emergency") and contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
While driving, with the key in the
ignition switch inMAR (ON)position:

"MTC+ Settings" in section
"Dashboard Instrument and
Controls").
If one or more doors are not properly
closed when locking the doors from
the outside, they will not be locked,
while if the trunk compartment is not
properly closed, the doors will in any
case be locked.
In both cases, the malfunction will be
indicated by the turn signals flashing
for a few seconds.
NOTE:
•The interior door locking/unlocking,
trunk compartment lid opening and
fuel tank door opening buttons are
disabled when the doors are locked
from the outside.
•In the event that the inertia switch
activates, the doors are electrically
unlocked and the vehicle can be
accessed by pressing the rear button
inside each handle.
Opening from the Inside
To open the door, even if the lock is
engaged, pull the internal handle.There are two buttons in front of the
transmission lever which operate the
door locking and unlocking functions:
: door locking;
: door unlocking.NOTE:
By pulling the internal handle on the
driver’s door, all the locks can be
released at the same time or just the
driver’s door, depending on the MTC+
settings (see "MTC+ Settings" in
section "Dashboard Instrument and
Controls").
Door Open Warning Lights
If the doors and the engine/luggage
compartment lids are not closed
properly, this is signaled by the
illumination of relative symbols on the
instrument panel display, accompanied
by the messages “Door open” or
“Doors open” shown in the picture.

Independent Trunk Lid
Unlocking
To allow the user to hold only the
trunk lid unlocked compared to the
doors condition, there is a dedicated
feature which can be activated by
MTC+ in “Doors & Locks” menu (see
"MTC+ Settings" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and
Controls".
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
connected to the trunk latching
mechanism. In the event of a person

Open and Close the Hood
Opening
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.
Slightly lift the hood and lift the safety
lever as indicated by the arrow. The
safety lever is located in the center of
the front lid contact area.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.

force exerted on the shoulders while
the seat belt is in restraining mode.
Seat Belt Reminder System
(SBR)
The SBR system has the function to
remind the driver and the front
passenger to fasten the seat belts.
The function activates with engine
running. If the driver or front seat
passenger is unbelted, the seat belt
reminder light
and related message
will turn on in the instrument cluster
and remain on until both front seat
belts are fastened.
The warning sequence begins after the
vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h)
for more than 19 seconds, by blinking
the seat belt reminder light
and by
sounding an intermittent chime.
Once the sequence starts, it will
continue for the entire duration. Afterthe sequence completes, the seat belt
reminder light
remain illuminated
until the respective seat belts are
fastened.
If the opened door on the driver or
passenger side is closed and the
occupant presence sensor detects a
status change from occupant not
present to occupant present the
system will repeat the warning
sequence.
The driver should instruct all other
occupants to fasten their seat belts.
If a front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph
(8 km/h), SBR system will provide both
audio and visual notification on the
instrument cluster.
The front passenger seat SBR is not
active when the front passenger seat is
not occupied. SBR may be triggered
when an animal or heavy object is on
the front passenger seat. It is
recommended to restrain pets in the
rear seat, in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and properly stow cargo.
Maintaining the Seat Belts
• Always use the seat belts with the
belt completely flat, not twisted.
Make sure that the belt can move
freely without jamming.• The seat belts must be replaced
following every pretensioner
activation and whenever the belt
itself shows visible damages or
abrasions.
• Wash the seat belts by hand using
water and neutral soap, rinse them
and let them dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleaches
or colorants and any other chemical
substance that may weaken the
fibers.
• Make sure the seat belt retractors do
not get wet: they will operate
properly only if they do not undergo
water infiltration.
Seat Belts and Pregnant
Women
Seat belts should also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child
if they are wearing a seat belt. The
best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes over the pelvis and
under the abdomen (see figure).

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.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more

CAUTION!
• Do not cut or tamper with the
connectors of the air bag harness or
on the air bag modules.
• Do not cover the steering wheel and
the top part on the instrument
cluster on the passenger’s side with
any tape or label, or treat it in any
way.
• Never remove the steering wheel. If
necessary, this procedure should only
be performed by anAuthorized
Maserati Dealer.
• All the air bag system components
must be replaced after an accident
that has caused air bag deployment.
Following an accident not involving
air bag activation, you must contact
anAuthorized Maserati Dealerto
have the system checked and replace
any system components that may be
damaged or malfunctioning.
WARNING!
Damaged or defective components of
the air bag system cannot be repaired
and must be replaced.

In the event of a side impact, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
processes the signals coming from side
sensors and activates air bag
deployment when necessary.
The air bag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself between
the occupants and the side of the
vehicle. The air bag deflates
immediately afterward.
In the case of low-severity side
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the air bags do
not deploy.
The side air bags are not a substitute
of the seat belts but rather act in
combination with them. As a
consequence, the seat belts must
always be worn as provided for by
applicable legislation in Europe and in
most non-European countries.
WARNING!
•If the
warning light comes on
while driving (fault signal), stop the
vehicle and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
•In the event of a collision with
consequent air bag deployment,contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for replacement of the entire
safety system, Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), seat belts,
pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
•Any and all inspections, repairs and
replacements regarding the air bag
must be performed by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
NOTE:
•To scrap the vehicle, please contact
anAuthorized Maserati Dealerin
order to have the air bag system
deactivated.
•If the vehicle is sold, the new owners
must read the above described
instructions for use and warnings on
this “Owner’s Manual” that is an
integral part of the car.
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of the
front air bags and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
the central electronic ORC deploys the
front air bags, the side air bags andseat belt pretensioners, as required,
depending on the severity and type of
impact.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the key in the ignition
switch is in theMAR (ON)position. If
the key is in theSTOP (OFF)position,
in theACCposition, or not active, the
air bag system is not activated and the
air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment. When starting
the vehicle, ORC turns on the
air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the
air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the
air bag
warning light and the “Airbag failure
go to dealer” message either
momentarily or continuously. The
diagnostics also record the nature of
the malfunction. A beep will sound if
the
air bag warning light
illuminates again after initial startup.
