Immobilizer System
The Maserati CODE System
In order to increase protection against
theft, the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
(Maserati CODE), which is
automatically activated when the key
is removed from the ignition switch.
Each starter key contains an electronic
device which transmits a code signal to
the Maserati CODE control unit, and
engine ignition is enabled only if the
key code is recognized by the system.
Using the key inserted in the driver's
outboard door lock, you can also
control the soft top opening/closing
strategy referred to as “Summer
open”. This strategy is described in
chapter "Soft Top" of section
"Understanding the Vehicle".
Key Codes
A CODE card is supplied with the keys.
This card indicates the following:
• the “ELECTRONIC CODE” to be used
for emergency starting (see
"Emergency Starting with Maserati
Code" in section "In an Emergency");
• the “MECHANICAL CODE” to be
provided to anAuthorized MaseratiDealerif you request duplicates of
the keys.
NOTE:
•The code numbers shown on the
CODE card should be kept in a safe
place.
•You are advised to always keep the
CODE card number with you, as it is
absolutely necessary in the event of
“Emergency Starting”.
•In the event of a vehicle ownership
transfer, it is essential that the new
owner is provided with all the keys
and with the CODE card.
•It is advisable to write down and
keep the codes listed on the plates
delivered with the keys and the
remote control in a safe place (not in
the vehicle) in order to request
duplicates if needed.
CODE System Operation
Each time the key in the ignition
switch is removed in theSTOP (OFF)
position, protection system activates
the engine immobilizer.
When the engine is started and the
key is turned toMAR (ON)position:
• If the code is recognized, the CODE
warning light on the instrument
cluster turns off within a second,
while the MIL
warning light,
once the ECU diagnosis has been
completed, goes off after about four
seconds. In these conditions, the
protection system recognizes the key
code and deactivates the engine
immobilizer. When the key in the
ignition switch is turned toAVV
position, the engine starts.
• If the CODE
warning light
remains on and the MIL
warning
light goes off after four seconds (ECU
diagnostics) and illuminates again
immediately afterward, the code has
not been recognized and the
message “Electronic key not
recognized” is displayed. If this
occurs, turn the key in the ignition
switch toSTOP (OFF)and then back
toMAR (ON)position. If the
immobilizer stays on, try with the
other keys. If you still cannot start

the engine, try the emergency start
procedure (see "Emergency Starting
with Maserati Code" in section "In
an Emergency") and contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
While driving, with the key in the
ignition switch inMAR (ON)position:
• If the CODE
warning light comes
on, it means that the system is
running a self-diagnostic cycle. At
the first stop you can test the system:
turn the key in the ignition switch in
STOP (OFF)position to stop the
engine and then back toMAR (ON)
position: the CODE
warning light
will illuminate and should turn off in
one second. If the warning light
stays on, repeat the procedure
described previously leaving the key
atSTOP (OFF)position for more than
30 seconds. If the problem persists,
contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.
• If the CODE
warning light flashes,
it means that the vehicle is not
protected by the immobilizer device.
Immediately contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerto have all the keys
stored in the memory.
CAUTION!
• Strong impacts can damage the
electronic components in the key.
• Each key supplied has its own
specific code, which must be stored
in the memory of the system control
unit.
Duplicating the Keys
When ordering additional keys,
remember that the storage procedure
(up to maximum of 7 keys) must be
performed for all the keys, including
those already in your possession.
Contact theAuthorized Maserati
Dealerdirectly, bringing with you all
the keys in your possession, the
Maserati CODE card, the electronic
alarm system CODE CARD, a personal
ID and the identification and
registration documents proving
ownership of the vehicle. The codes of
any keys that are not available when
the new storage procedure is
performed will be deleted from the
memory to prevent any lost or stolen
keys from being used to start the
vehicle. When ordering additional

Vehicle Security Alarm
The vehicle security alarm system
performs the following functions:
• remote control of the centralized
door locking/unlocking system;
• perimeter surveillance, detecting the
opening of doors, engine/trunk
compartment lids;
• motion surveillance, detecting
intrusion in the passenger
compartment;
• vehicle movement surveillance.
NOTE:
The engine immobilizer operation is
guaranteed by the Maserati CODE
system, which is automatically
activated when the key is removed
from the ignition switch.
Alarm System Activation
Press thelock button on the key to
activate the security alarm system.• The turn signals flash once.
• The system beeps.
• The red LEDs on the front door
panels flash.
• The vehicle centralized door locking
is activated and the doors are locked.
The system becomes operative after
approximately 25 seconds and the
alarm is activated when:
• a door is opened;
• the trunk compartment lid is opened;
• the engine compartment lid is
opened;
• someone attempts to enter the
vehicle from a window;
• the power supply is disconnected;
• the siren is disconnected;
• the vehicle is moved.
When the vehicle security alarm is
active, the user may request the trunk
compartment opening; in this case, themotion and inclination sensors are
temporarily deactivated.
If the trunk compartment lid is then
closed, the sensors will be reactivated.
Should the turn signals flash 9 times
when you activate the security alarm
system, this means that one of the
doors or lids is not properly closed and
therefore is not protected by the
perimeter surveillance.
Check for correct closing of doors,
engine/trunk compartment lids and
close the open one without
deactivating the security alarm system:
the turn signals flashing once indicate
that now the door, engine/trunk
compartment lids are closed properly
and are protected by the perimeter
surveillance.
CAUTION!
If the turn signals flash 9 times when
the security alarm system is activated
with doors, front and rear lids properly
closed, this means that the
self-diagnostic function has detected a
malfunction in the system and that
you should contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerto have the system
checked.
