If the ignition device is left in the ACC
or RUN position, when vehicle is
locked the system will turn off the
instrument cluster and automatically
set ignition device to OFF .
With the MTC+ System, the power
window switches, radio, power
sunroof (optional), and power outlets
will remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is cycled to
the OFF position. Opening either front
door will cancel this feature, it is
possible to set the timing of this
feature.

Trunk Lid Operation The manual trunk lid can be unlocked
from inside the vehicle by pressing the
button on the front dome console.
This command will fully open the
Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free (if
equipped). Pressing this button in
sequence, if the power trunk lid stops
in intermediate position, it resumes his
opening movement.
NOTE:
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before the button can operate.
The manual trunk lid can be released
from outside the vehicle by pressing
the
button on the key fob with
RKE transmitter twice within five
seconds or by using the external
release button located on the lower
side of the trunk lid ledge, between the license plate lights, when the
vehicle has been unlocked using the
key fob or the “Passive Entry” system.
When the button
on the key fob is
pressed twice within five seconds, the
direction indicators flash twice to
indicate the opening or closing of the
trunk lid, if the light flashing function
at closing is activated on MTC+ (for
more information, see the chapter
"MTC+ Settings" in section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
To manually close the trunk lid use the
handle as indicated beside the closing
device.
With the ignition switch in RUN
position, the red symbol
will
display on the instrument cluster with
the message indicating that the trunk
lid is open. Once the trunk is closed
both symbol and message will
disappear from the display.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

properly.
• Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase the
risk of injury in collisions.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The car is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, that reduce slack in
the belts in the event of a severe
frontal impact. This guarantees the
perfect adherence of the seat belts to
the occupants bodies before the
restraining action begins.
This car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner in the kick plate area. Its
activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable and
curling of its protective sheath. Pretensioners work for all size
occupant restraint systems, including
the child restraint systems.
NOTE:
To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat
belt tight to the chest and pelvis.
Pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). A
pretensioner may be used only once
because it is a pyrotechnic device.
Pretensioners do not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must be
replaced.
WARNING!
It is strictly forbidden to remove or
tamper with the pretensioner
components. Any service intervention
must be carried out only by qualified
and authorized personnel. Always
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer. CAUTION!
Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localized heating (over
212°F/100°C for a maximum of 6 hours
max.) in the area around the
pretensioners may damage or deploy
them erroneously. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by
uneven road surfaces or low obstacles.
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer for any intervention that may
be required.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use
Reminder System (BeltAlert ®
)BeltAlert ®
is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
to fasten their seat belts.
The feature activates with engine
running. If the driver or front seat
passenger is unbelted, the seat belt
reminder light
and the related
message will turn on in the instrument
cluster. Message remains on for 5
seconds.Before Starting
2
62

The BeltAlert ®
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 message and by
sounding an intermittent chime.
Once the sequence starts, it will
continue for the entire duration. After
the sequence completes, the seat belt
reminder light
remains illuminated
until the respective seat belts are
fastened and the message remains on
for 5 seconds.
If the opened front 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), BeltAlert ®
will
provide both audio and visual
notification on the instrument cluster.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert ®
is
not active when the front passenger
seat is not occupied. BeltAlert ®
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.
Seat Belts and Pregnant
Women Seat belts should 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 below the belly
so that it passes over the pelvis and
under the abdomen (see figure). When a safety belt is worn properly, it is
more likely that the baby will not be
hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as
for anyone, the key to making safety
belts effective is wearing them properly.
WARNING!
Pregnant women should observe the
above indications, as well as local
regulation concerning the use of seat
belts.Before Starting
