In the event of an emergency (vehicle
dead battery or electric system failure)
to open the doors, with the locks
released, press the rear button inside
each handle. Otherwise, if the doors
are locked, you must release them by
turning the key in the lock to open
them, then press the rear button.
In this case, being a conventional
mechanism, hold the rear button
pressed down longer. On the door panels, in a position
which is visible from the outside, there
is a dual-color (green/red) LED E which
indicates the status of the locks
(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").
If one or more doors are not properly
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.
• In the event that the inertia switch
activates, the doors are electrically
unlocked and the vehicle can be
accessed by pressing the rear button
inside each handle.Before Starting

never exceed the maximum loads
allowed (see “Technical Data" in
section "Features and Specifications”).

a light that comes on automatically
when the lid is opened; switching off is
timed.

open, the light switches off after a few
minutes. To turn it on again, close the
lid and then reopen it.

• 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

• Seat-mounted side air bags for the
driver and front passenger.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.

pretensioner (Emergency Tensioning
Device - ETD) that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an impact.
• Front seat belt retractors are
equipped with load limiting devices
which control the seat belt reeling
out so as to adjust the force exerted
on the shoulders while the seat belt
is in restraining mode.
• All seat belts system (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way outBefore Starting
