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.

Reset Auto-Up/Down Should the auto-up/down feature stop
working, the window probably needs
to be reset.
To reset auto-up/down, pull the
window switch up to close the
window completely and push the
window switch down to open the
window completely.
If You have to Disconnect the
Battery Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the side windows by at least 1-2
in (4-5 cm) to avoid damaging the soft
top strip when opening and closing
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
Lid Opening The trunk compartment lid can be
opened from inside or outside the
vehicle.
Button which opens the lid from
inside, is located to the left of the
steering wheel.
It can only be operated when the key
is removed from the ignition switch or
turned to STOP (OFF) or ACC position.
To open the trunk compartment lid
from outside, press button on the
radio control case: this opens the lock
and the trunk lid rises slightly. To open the trunk lid from the
outside, when the security alarm is
deactivated and the key is inside the
vehicle, simply press the button
underneath the license plate light
frame.
To avoid accidental activation while

In the event of a side impact, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
processes the signals coming from side
sensors and activates air bag
deployment when necessary.
The air bag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself between
the occupants and the side of the
vehicle. The air bag deflates
immediately afterward.
In the case of low-severity side
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the air bags do
not deploy.
The side air bags are not a substitute
of the seat belts but rather act in
combination with them. As a
consequence, the seat belts must
always be worn as provided for by
applicable legislation in Europe and in
most non-European countries.
WARNING!
• If the
warning light comes on
while driving (fault signal), stop the
vehicle and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
• In the event of a collision with
consequent air bag deployment, contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for replacement of the entire
safety system, Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), seat belts,
pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
• Any and all inspections, repairs and
replacements regarding the air bag
must be performed by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
NOTE:
• T
o scrap the vehicle, please contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer in
order to have the air bag system
deactivated.
• If the vehicle is sold, the new owners
must read the above described
instructions for use and warnings on
this “Owner’s Manual” that is an
integral part of the car.
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of the
front air bags and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
the central electronic ORC deploys the
front air bags, the side air bags and seat belt pretensioners, as required,
depending on the severity and type of
impact.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the key in the ignition
switch is in the MAR (ON) position. If
the key is in the STOP (OFF) position,
in the ACC position, or not active, the
air bag system is not activated and the
air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low power
or it becomes disconnected prior to
deployment. When starting the
vehicle, ORC turns on the
air bag
warning light on the instrument
cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the
air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the
air bag
warning light and the “Airbag failure
go to dealer” message either
momentarily or continuously. The
diagnostics also record the nature of
the malfunction. A beep will sound if
the
air bag warning light
illuminates again after initial startup.Before Starting

careful when using the seat heater. It
may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. NOTE:
Seat
heating also works with engine
off and key in ignition switch in ACC
or MAR (ON) position. To avoid
discharging the battery, it is
recommended to activate the feature
with engine running.
The heating is activated by turning
control on the outer side of the seat
cushion.

passenger compartment.
• It is advisable to close the soft top
when parking the vehicle. This not
only protects the passenger
compartment against weather
agents, but is also a safeguard
against theft.
• If possible, park in the shade as
prolonged exposure to the sun will
alter the canvas fiber and color.
• Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the side windows by about 1.6
- 2 in (4 - 5 cm) to prevent damaging
the soft top strip when the doors are
opened and closed. When the
battery is connected and fully
charged, this operation is performed
automatically whenever the doors
are opened or closed. The windows
must remain lowered until the
recharged battery is reconnected. If
the battery is dead and the windows
are fully up, only open the doors
when strictly necessary and being
extremely careful: do not close them
again until the windows can be
lowered.
• Cover the soft top with a protective
cloth when it is going to be parked
outdoor for a long period of time. • To avoid damaging the soft top, the
vehicle must not be washed with
high-pressure water jet systems, be it
a manual nozzle or an automatic car
wash with turning rollers.
• Organic residues must be
immediately removed, as they may
damage both the soft top fabric and
its strips.
• Do not use solvents, alcohol, petrol
or other generic detergents to clean
the soft top.
"Summer open" Strategy Using the key inserted in the external
driver's door lock, you can control the
soft top opening/closing strategy
referred to as “Summer open”.
NOTE:
• The opening and closing cycle can be
interrupted at any time, moving the
key back to its initial position.
• The following operations are
performed with the engine off. This
involves an extremely high power
consumption, which causes the
battery to discharge faster.
With the soft top fully closed :
• insert the key in the external driver’s
door lock; • turn the key clockwise until
unlocking the doors and hold it in
this position. The automatic soft top
opening cycle will begin after
approx. 2 seconds;
• do not move the key for the entire
opening cycle.
With the soft top fully open :
• insert the key in the external driver’s
door lock;
• turn the key counterclockwise until
locking the doors and hold it in this
position. The automatic soft top
closing cycle will begin after approx.
2 seconds;
• do not move the key for the entire
closing cycle.Understanding the Vehicle

Soft Top Operation The soft top must be opened and
closed with the vehicle stationary and,
as a rule, with the engine running at
idle speed.
If necessary (e.g. in closed places) the
operation can be performed with the
engine off and the key in the ignition
switch in MAR (ON) position. This
operation involves an extremely high
power consumption, which causes the
battery to discharge faster.
For moving the soft top, use the two
buttons on the central console:
( C ): soft top closing button.
( O ): soft top opening button.
Opening Cycle
Press the ( O ) soft top opening button
and hold it pressed for the entire
