others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake
trigger, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition switch in the ACC or RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
• An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the key fob
from vehicle, cycle the ignition
switch to OFF and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle
unattended. Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer
System The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle
operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, an
ignition switch and a RF (Radio
Frequency) receiver to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only key fobs expressly
programmed can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light (see
picture) will light up for a three
seconds bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics: this
condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation
(engine running for longer than 10
seconds), an electronic fault is
detected. Should this occur, contact
the Authorized Maserati Dealer as
soon as possible for assistance.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key ®
Immobilizer system is
not compatible with some remote
starting systems that can be installed
in after-market.
Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All key fobs provided with the new
vehicle
have been updated with the
vehicle electronics and are therefore
able to guarantee correct functioning
and protection.Before Starting

How to use Remote Start All of the following conditions must
be met before the engine will remote
start:
• System not disabled from previous
remote start event.
• Vehicle theft alarm not active.
• Doors closed.
• Hood closed.
• Trunk lid closed.
• Hazard lights switched off.
• Brake pedal not pressed.
• Battery at an acceptable charge
level.
• The shift lever is in P (Park) position.
• The vehicle transmission is in
automatic mode.
• The remote start has not been
activated yet two consecutive times.
If EPB (Electric Parking Brake) is not
selected, at key-off in some conditions
the remote start system may not allow
engine to start. We suggest to set
“Auto Apply On” function through
the switch on the right-side of the
steering wheel (refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instrument and Controls”). WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a
closed garage or confined area.
Exhaust gas contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless
and colorless
• Keep key fobs RKE transmitter away
from children. Operation of the
Remote Start System, windows,
door locks or other controls could
cause serious injury or death.
Engine Remote Start Abort
Message on Instrument Cluster The following messages will display on
the instrument cluster if the vehicle
fails to remote start or exits remote
start prematurely:
• “Remote Start Canceled Door
Open”.
• “Remote Start Canceled Trunk
Open”.
• “Remote Start Canceled Fuel Low”.
• “Remote Start Canceled Time
Expired”.
• “Remote Start Disabled Start Vehicle
to Reset”. The message on the instrument cluster
stays active as long as the ignition
switch is in RUN position.
To enter Remote Start Mode Press and release the button on the
key fob RKE transmitter twice within
five seconds. The vehicle doors will
lock, position lights will flash and the
horn will ring twice (if this function is
set using the MTC+ System, refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). Then, the engine will start
and the vehicle will remain in the
“Remote Start” mode for a 15-minute
cycle.

NOTE:
• Maserati reserves the right to change specifications without prior notification.
• Park Assist will turn off the front park assist audible alert (chime) after approximately 4 seconds when an obstacle has
been detected, the vehicle is stationary, and brake pedal is applied.
Enabling and Disabling Park
Assist By accessing the submenu “Safety &
Driving Assistant” from MTC+ System,
the “Park Assist” can be disabled
(option “Off”). The available options
regarding the warning alerts are:
“Sound” or “Sound + Display”. Refer
to “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
The front sensors can be enabled or
disabled at any time by pressing the
button on the front dome console. After pressing the button the
instrument cluster will display the state
of front parking sensors for
approximately five seconds. The
button LED will be on when the front
sensors are disabled. The button LED
will be off when the front sensors are
enabled. If the button is pressed and
the system requires service, the LED will blink momentarily, and then the
LED will be on.
When the shift lever is moved to R
(Reverse) or to D (Drive) at a speed of
7 mph (11 km/h) or below and the
system is disabled, the instrument
cluster will display the “PARK ASSIST
Off” message for 5 seconds until the
shift lever remains in R (Reverse) or
when the shift lever is moved in D
(Drive).
Service the Park Assist System In case of malfunction of the Park
Assist system, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single sound, once per
ignition cycle. The instrument cluster

When the engine starts again, the
telltale will switch off.
If the telltale during an automatic
engine shutdown (AutoStop) phase
starts flashing, it will be necessary to
restart the engine normally with the
ignition device while holding down
the brake pedal.
See chapter “Normal Starting of the
Engine” in section “Driving” for
further information.
Rear Fog Light Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the rear fog lights are
switched on.
High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.
Brake Indicator Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level, brake pads
wear and parking brake
engagement.
If the brake light illuminates the
parking brake may be engaged, the
brake pads have reached wear limit,
the brake fluid level may be low or a
problem with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) reservoir may have
occurred.
In all the above situations, a related
message will be displayed.
If the light still illuminates when the
parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark
on the master cylinder reservoir, there
could be a brake hydraulic system
malfunction or a problem with the
brake booster detected by the
ABS/ESC system. If this occurs, the light
will remain lit until the problem has
been solved.
If the problem concerns the brake
booster, the ABS master cylinder will
run when engaging the brake and a
brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop of the vehicle.
Inefficiency of one of the dual brake
system cycles is indicated by the brake
indicator light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
certain level.
The light will remain lit until the
problem has been solved.
If a brake failure occurs, visit an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible in order to check up the
brake system.
In the event of an Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD) failure, both the brake indicator light and the ABS
light illuminate.
Immediate repair of the ABS system is
required.
Functioning of the brake indicator
light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from OFF to RUN
position.
The light should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds.
The light should switch off unless the
parking brake is engaged or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not
illuminate, have the light system
repaired by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The light will also switch on when the
parking brake is engaged with the
ignition switch in RUN position.
This light only indicates the brake is
engaged but not the clamping force
of the parking brake to the wheels.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on can be very dangerous and is
not recommended. Part of the brake
system may have failed, resulting in
increased braking distances and the
risk of an accident. Have the vehicleDashboard Instruments and Controls
