To help protect against personal
injury, passengers must not be seated
in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo
space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers,
who should sit in seats and use seat

the rear driver door's ledge.
The information indicated on the label
concerns passengers and luggage
loading operations. Do not exceed the specified Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR),
both front and rear.
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, and cargo.
The total load must be limited so that
you do not exceed the GVWR
indicated on the label.
Vehicle Loading WARNING!
• After loading the vehicle, before
driving, adjust the headlight beam
leveling using the specific regulator
(if available) as described in chapter
“Lights” in this section.
• Improper weight distribution can
have an adverse effect on the way
the vehicle steers, handles and the
way the brakes operate.
• Never drive with the trunk lid open.
Exhaust gases can enter the
passenger compartment.
• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher
than the top of the seatback. This

collision.
The trunk is the most suitable place to
load bulky and
heavy objects onboard
the vehicle. The maximum allowable
load on the floor of the trunk is 440 lb
(200 kg).
To load your vehicle properly, store
heavier items below and be sure you
distribute their weight as evenly as
possible.

the trip.
Light objects can be stored in the net
pocket on the right side of the trunk
compartment.

inside the compartment a luggage net
with hooks anchored to the floor is
available upon request. The hooking
eyelets of the net are positioned on
the floor and on the rear wall of the
trunk compartment. NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the available “Genuine Accessories”
for the trunk compartment.
Loading with Rear Seatbacks
Folded Down The 60/40 split-folding seatback of the
rear seat provides cargo-carrying
versatility. The seatback folded down provides a
continuous nearly-flat extension of the
load floor able to accommodate large
sized equipment and objects (such as
the “Maserati Ski and Snowboard

the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious
injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the
vehicle with the rear seatbacks in
the folded down position should not
be used as a play area by children
when the vehicle is in motion. They
could be seriously injured in a
collision. Children should be seated
and use proper restraint system. Power Sunroof with

rises automatically in order to deviate
the air flow.
The power sunroof controls are
located between the sun visors on the
overhead console.
The right two buttons controls the
sunroof movement, whereas the left
button controls the lifting of the
sunroof for venting. The sunshade can be opened manually.
However, the sunshade will open
automatically as the sunroof opens.
The sunshade cannot be closed if the
sunroof is open.
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.
