Free automatic opening and closing.
• Before opening Power Trunk
Lid/Hand Free, make sure that no
objects or snow are set on trunk lid
or might jam or prevent its opening.
Hands Free Power Trunk Release and
Closing
This
mode is controlled by the “Passive
Entry” system (see paragraph “Passive
Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free when you
place your foot in the area under the
rear bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3
ft (1 m) of the Power Trunk Lid/Hands
Free. The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the Power Trunk Lid/Hands
Free, stand behind the vehicle, near
the trunk lid, and move your foot
under the bumper as if to kick
something. Do not place your foot too
close to the bumper or touch the
underbody.
WARNING!
• Pay careful attention to the exhaust
tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
• When it is not necessary to open the
Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free with the
Hands Free mode, make sure the key
fob results outside the range of use
(3.3 ft/1 m). Otherwise, the Power
Trunk Lid/Hand Free can be opened
accidentally by an unintentional
movement of the foot.Before Starting
2
52

In order for the sensors to detect your
foot movement, move your foot
towards the vehicle rather than
sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the Power Trunk
Lid/Hands Free will activate within two
seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop;
• after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will:
• completely close but not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement; • if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
NOTE:
• If your foot movement fails to
activate the Power Trunk Lid/Hands
Free movement, wiggling your foot
under the bumper will not help.
Repeat the whole kick movement.
• In particular situations, external
factors affecting the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power trunk
lid release feature. For example,
when washing the vehicle, a water
jet aimed at the sensor area may
trigger the “Hands free” power
trunk release feature. Keep the key
fob RKE transmitter away from the
sensing range of the sensors (10 ft/3
m) or disable the Hands free feature
from the MTC+ menu (see “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”). A key
fob RKE transmitter located in the
front seat passenger area is
considered out of range of the
“Hand free” trunk release sensor.
• If somebody or something knocks
against the Power Trunk Lid/Hands
Free while it is moving, the safety system might stop lid opening or
closing movement.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release If accessing the trunk compartment
from the rear seats, operate the
emergency release lever (see the
chapter “Trunk Safety” in this section)
in order to lower the rear seat
backrest (see “Cargo Area” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”). If the
power release control operated by
pressing the button on the dome
console fails, it may be that the
battery is critical. In this case, it is
possible to temporarily power the
system by using the battery remote
poles located inside the engine
compartment (see “Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency”). Then it is possible to
normally open the trunk lid by using
the key fob RKE transmitter. Have the
vehicle subsequently serviced by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer center in
order to solve the failure.Before Starting

• Slightly lift the hood and push the
safety catch as indicated by the
arrow. The safety catch is located in
the center of the hood.
• Lift the hood completely: this
operation is facilitated by two gas
struts keeping the hood in the fully
open position.
With the ignition switch in RUN
position, the red symbol
will
display on the instrument cluster with
the message indicating that the hood
is open.
Closing Lower the hood, and then drop it. This
should secure the inclusion of both
latches.
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.
• Advanced front air bags for driver
and passenger.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and
passengers seated next to a window.
• Supplemental driver side knee air
bag.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side air
bags.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate dual
pretensioners that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an
impact.
• All seat belt systems (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
and then adjusting the belt to theBefore Starting
2
55

• All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts
properly.
• The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as
possible to allow the Advanced
Front Air Bags room to inflate.
• Do not lean against the door or
window. Your vehicle has
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB),
and if deployment occurs, the SABIC
and SAB air bags will inflate
forcefully into the space between
you and the door.
• If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to
accommodate a disabled person,
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could
lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The air bags work with
your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though
you have air bags. • In a collision, you and your
passengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not properly
buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Always be sure
you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly. Occupants, including the
driver, should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag is
also provided at their seating
position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
• Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause an accident that
includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own
street.
Statistics report that seat belts save
lives
and help reduce the seriousness
of injuries in an accident. Some of the
worst injuries happen when people
are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by
striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Three-Point Seat Belts All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap
and shoulder belts.
The belt retractor is designed to lock
during very sudden stops or impacts.
This feature allows the shoulder part
of the belt to move freely with you
under normal conditions, conforming
to the body of the occupants.
However, in an accident, the belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking
the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out.
The driver is responsible for
respecting, and ensuring that all the
other occupants of the car also
observe the local regulations
concerning the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
starting the vehicle.
Seat belts are designed to be used by
persons whose physical characteristics
(age, height, weight) are provided for
by established legislation in each
country. Anyone who does comply
with these provisions may not travel in
the front passenger seat. This alsoBefore Starting

(Continued)
• Always make all seat belt height
adjustments when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster
for the driver and front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
Push the indicated button above the
shoulder belt guide to release the
anchorage, then move the belt slider
up or down to the fixed position that
fits you best.
WARNING!
After the adjustment, always check
that the slider to which the oscillating
ring is fixed, is locked into one of the
positions provided. With the handgrip
released, push again downward to
allow the anchoring device to click
into place, in the event that it has not
been released in one of the positions
provided. When you release the anchorage try to
move
the belt slider up and down to
make sure that it is locked in position.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedure to
untwist a twisted three point belt.
• Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
• At about 0.5 to 1 ft (15 to 30 cm)
above the latch plate, grasp and
twist the belt 180 degrees to create a
fold that begins immediately above
the latch plate.
• Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded belt. The folded belt must
enter the slot at the top of the latch
plate.
• Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded belt. Passengers Seat Belts All passengers seat belts are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR) and can be used to secure a child
restraint system. For additional
information, see “Installing Child
Restraint Systems using the Vehicle
Seat Belt equipped with ALR” under
“Child Restraint Systems” in this
section.
If the passenger seat position should
not be used to accommodate a child
restraint system, only pull the belt out
far enough to comfortably wrap
around the occupant so as to not
activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. In this case,
allow the belt to retract completely
and then carefully pull out only the
amount of belt necessary to
comfortably wrap around the seat
occupant.
Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a "click".
WARNING!
• Remember that, in the event of a
violent impact, the passengers in the
rear seats who are not wearing the
seat belts are not only subject toBefore Starting
