MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

Front to Back Roof Rails
(optional) The front to back roof rails that can be
installed to this vehicle have been
designed to carry luggage or
equipment suitable for transport
outside of the vehicle.
Weight of luggage/equipment carried
on the rails must not exceed 176 lb
(80 kg) and must be evenly
distributed. This weight must be
added to the load carried inside of the
vehicle as well as the passengers'
weight, and total must not exceed the
maximum allowed weight (see
“Features and Specifications” in
section “Features and Specifications”).
When arranging load on rails, make
sure that it will not interfere with
power liftgate and sunroof opening (if
equipped). Securely fasten load to rails using the
suitable retainers that can hold the
original anchorage points throughout
the trip.
When installing to rails any bicycle,
surfboard or other types of carriers
requiring cross bars, please comply
with the equipment manufacturer's
instructions to ensure proper
installation.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved Carrying
Items, available in the "Genuine
Accessories" range.
WARNING!
• During the trip, it is recommended
to periodically check the proper
fastening of luggage or equipment
carried on the roof rails. This is to
avoid that any parts that may have
accidentally unfastened could
damage vehicle bodywork and fall
out, thereby becoming a danger for
all vehicles behind yours.
• When driving with a bulky load on
roof rails, take additional
precautions and drive at lower
speed, keeping a wider safety
distance from vehicles ahead. Indeed, a bulky and/or heavy load
carried on the roof will affect
driving behavior and steering
response since it shifts the vehicle
center of gravity to a higher
position compared to normal
conditions.
• All objects/equipment carried on the
roof and protruding beyond the
windshield, e.g. surfboard, must be
fastened to both sides of the
vehicle. Any wind blow might
suddenly increase load lift possibly
resulting in breakage and loss of
part of the carried equipment.Understanding the Vehicle

Power Sunroof with
Sunshade (optional) The sunroof and the sunshade are
power-controlled and can only be
operated with the ignition switch in
RUN position.
The sunroof is made of two glass
panels: the front one can be moved
whereas the rear one is fixed. The
right switch controls the sunroof
movement, whereas the left one
controls the sunshade.
Lifting of the sunroof front panel for
venting is controlled by the button,
behind the two switches.
By opening the sunroof a front flap
rises automatically in order to deviate
the air flow. WARNING!
• Improper use of the sunroof can be
dangerous, even if it features a
finger-trap prevention system.
Before and during the sunroof
operation, always make sure that
passengers are not exposed to the
risk of injuries caused by the moving
sunroof or by personal objects
dragged or hit by the moving
sunroof.
• Never leave children in a vehicle
with the key fob RKE transmitter in
the passenger compartment.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk
of being thrown from the vehicle if
the sunroof is open. Always fasten
your seat belt properly and make
sure all passengers are properly
secured too. • Do not allow small children to
operate the sunroof. Never insert
fingers, other body parts, or any
object through the roof opening.
CAUTION!
• In the event of rain, always close the
sunroof to prevent water infiltrations
from staining the fabric/leather
upholstery.
• Do not open the sunroof if there is
ice on it: risk of damage.
• Do not open the sunroof in case of
presence of any object (bicycle,
surfboard or other type of carriers
fixed to cross bars) that might
interfere with sunroof.
