(locked/unlocked). The red LEDs
illuminate for 3 seconds after the locks
are engaged and the green LEDs for
the same amount of time when they
are unlocked.
NOTE:
The door LEDs remain illuminated for
approximately 3 seconds and
therefore, in normal conditions, they
are off.
When the security alarm system is
turned on and the doors are locked,
the LEDs on the doors flash.
The radio control device allows you to
operate the centralized opening of all
the doors or of the driver’s door only,
depending on the Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) settings (see
"MTC+ Settings" in section
"Dashboard Instrument and
Controls").

closed when locking the doors from
the outside, they will not be locked,
while if the trunk compartment is not
properly closed, the doors will in any
case be locked.
In both cases, the malfunction will be
indicated by the turn signals flashing
for a few seconds.
NOTE:
• The interior door locking/unlocking,
trunk compartment lid opening and
fuel tank door opening buttons are
disabled when the doors are locked
from the outside.

driver’s side; the inner switch
commands the power window
passenger’s side.
The door on the passenger side only
has control for the window on the
passenger side. NOTE:
• The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the key in the ignition switch is
turned to the STOP (OFF) position.
Opening either door will cancel this
feature.
• Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
• If the power window is closed when

opening/closing the doors.
• Improper use of the power windows
can be dangerous. Ensure that
passengers are clear of the windows
before closing them. When leaving
the vehicle, always remove the key
from the ignition switch to prevent
the power windows from being
accidentally activated: this could
endanger any passengers remaining
in the vehicle.
• Never leave unattended children in a
vehicle.
• Failure of the soft top temporarily
(for approx. 10 mins) prevents

the door.
When the battery is connected, this
operation is performed automatically
when the door is opened and closed.
The windows must remain lowered
until the charged battery is
reconnected. If the battery is
completely discharged when the
windows are fully raised, only open
the door if absolutely necessary, with
the utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window. Open and Close the Trunk
