protection system able to stop its
movement when an obstacle is
detected along the path: when
opening or closing, it stops
automatically and then slightly moves
back.
After the closing command, when
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free starts
closing, all the indicators will blink to
warn anyone within range. Apart from
activating indicators blinking when
power trunk lid is operated, it is also
possible to activate a sound warning
by selecting the relevant function
within MTC+ user settings (see “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”). When
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free edge
reaches the car body, the motor
locking the latch is activated
automatically.
If necessary, the Power Trunk
Lid/Hands Free can also be opened or
closed manually. This operation could
be required when the trunk lid
remains open for a long period of
time.
WARNING!
• Activate Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free
only when vehicle is at a standstill. • Always pay utmost attention when
opening and closing Power Trunk
Lid/Hand Free.
• After the closing command, always
make sure that Power Trunk
Lid/Hand Free is completely closed.
CAUTION!
• Under extreme weather conditions,
trunk lid seal could freeze and
compromise Power Trunk Lid/Hand
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

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 built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of a person trapped inside
the trunk, the trunk lid can be simply
opened by pulling on the
phosphorescent handle shown in
figures. Hood Operation Opening Two latches must be released to open
the hood.
• 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.With Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free OptionBefore Starting
2
54

• 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

desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat.
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
If you are carrying children too small
for adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts
or the Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be
used to hold infant and child restraint
systems. For more information on
LATCH, refer to “Lower Anchors and
Tether for CHildren (LATCH)” in this
section.
WARNING!
To help provide maximum protection,
you are advised to keep the seatback
in the most upright position possible
and the seat belt close to your chest
and pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in
the event of an accident you could
move too far forward and could be
injured. Travelling with the seatback
too far reclined could also be
dangerous: even if the seat belts are
fastened, they may not work correctly.
In fact, the belt itself may not be close
enough to your body and, if it is in
front of you, it could cause neck wounds or other injuries in an
accident. Additionally, in an accident,
the lower section of the belt could
press against the upper part of your
stomach rather than the pelvic area,
causing serious internal injuries.
NOTE:
The
advanced air
bags have a multi
stage inflator. This allows the air bag
to have different stages of inflation
based on the severity and type of
collision.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm from
a deploying air bag:
• Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child restraints
should never ride in the front seat of a
vehicle with a passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag. An air bag deployment
can cause severe or fatal injury to
infants in that position.
Do not use child seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front
passenger seat. Occupants in the front passenger seat must never sit on the
edge of the seat, leaning toward the
dashboard or otherwise sit out of
position. The occupants’ back must be
as upright as comfort allows, and
must rest against the seatback with
the seat belt properly fastened. Feet
must be on the floor (i.e. not on the
dashboard, seat or out of the
window).
Children that are not big enough to
wear
the vehicle
seat belt properly (see
“Child Restraints System” in this
section) should be secured in the rear
seat in child restraints seats or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older
children who do not use child
restraints seats or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat. Never
allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
The safest place for a child that has
outgrown the child safety seat is in the
rear seat using the standard seat belt
in combination with a suitable booster
seat if needed so the seat belt is
properly located on the child.
You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint
system to make sure that you are using
it properly.Before Starting
