• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle and
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive
Entry” door handle;
• fifteen attempts are made to lock
the doors using the door panel
switch and/or the lower
button
(on the outer edge of the left trunk
compartment) and then close the
doors. If the key fob RKE transmitter is inside
the passenger compartment and one
of the doors locked only to the first
detent of lock pawl (hence it is not
fully closed), when the vehicle lock
function with alarm system for trunk
lid and doors is being activated by
means of RH button
at the bottom
of the trunk lid, said function will be
activated all the same.
In this condition, any attempt to duly
close the door that is partially open
will cancel vehicle lock and alarm
system arming thus leaving vehicle
unlocked.
Release the Liftgate and Enter
the Trunk With the key fob within 3.3 ft (1 m) of
the power liftgate, press the button
located between the license plate
lights, the power liftgate will
automatically open until it has reached
its maximum height; if the same
button is not pressed again to stop it
(for more information, see chapter
“Power Liftgate Operation” in this
section).
If the vehicle had already been
unlocked through key fob or “Passive
Entry”, the presence of the key fob is
not required; simply use the button
located between the license plate lights to open the power liftgate
automatically.
Manual Door Lock from

• Pulling the control to 1 or 2 detent:
the window closes partially or
completely and the sunshade
remains rolled.
• Pressing the control to 1 or 2 detent:
no action (“NOP”).
Teaching Cycle
After battery disconnection, the
following teaching cycle is required to
store the limit positions the sunshades.
Use the controls on the rear doors to
move the sunshades.
• With glass closed, lift rear sunshade
control on driver side for a few
seconds. It is not necessary that the
sunshade reaches its upper limit.
• Reverse the sunshade movement by
pressing the control downwards.
Once the lower limit is reached, press
and hold the control for at least 10
seconds. This action allows setting
the control unit in initialisation
status.
• Release the movement command.
• Within maximum 15 seconds:
• Press once the control downwards
(first or second detent). In this way
the control unit stores the lower limit position. During this
operation a slight click of the
sunshade motor that switches to
mechanical lock condition can be
heard.
• Lift the control and hold it up until
the sunshade completes its
upstroke and reaches the car body
pillar, fully home. Once the upper
limit stop is reached, the sunshade
will move downwards for approx.
2-3 millimetres and the control unit
will store this height as the upper
limit. Now the teaching of the
driver side rear sunshade is
complete.
• Repeat the same operations for the
passenger side rear sunshade to
complete the teaching procedure.Power Liftgate Operation The power liftgate can be operated
from inside the vehicle by pressing the
button on the front dome console.
This command will fully open or fully
close the power liftgate. Pressing this
button in sequence, if the power
liftgate stops in intermediate position,
it resumes and reverses the stroke
direction.
NOTE:
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before the button can operate.
The power liftgate can be fully opened
from outside the vehicle by pressing
the
button on the key fob with
RKE transmitter twice within five
seconds or by using the external
button located on the lower side of

tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
• When it is not necessary to open the
power liftgate with the Hands free
mode, make sure the key fob is
outside the range of use (3.3 ft/1 m).
Otherwise, the power liftgate can
be opened accidentally by an
unintentional movement of the
foot.
In order for the sensors to detect your
foot
movement, move your foot
towards the vehicle rather than
sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the power liftgate
will activate within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power liftgate will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop; • after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
power liftgate will:
• completely close but not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement;
• if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
NOTE:
• If your foot movement fails to
activate the power liftgate
movement, wiggling your foot
under the bumper will not help.
Repeat the whole kick movement.
• In particular situations, external
factors affecting the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power
liftgate release feature. For example,
when washing the vehicle, a water
jet aimed at the sensor area may
trigger the Hands free power
liftgate release feature. Keep the
key fob RKE transmitter away from
the sensing range of the sensors (10
ft/3 m) or disable the Hands free
feature from the MTC+ menu (see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). A key fob RKE
transmitter located in the front seat
passenger area is considered out of
range of the Hands free liftgate
release sensor.
• If somebody or something knocks
against the power liftgate while it is
moving, the safety system might
stop lid opening or closing
movement.
Power Liftgate Emergency
Release If the power release control operated
by pressing the button on the dome
console fails, the battery could be in a
low condition. In this case, it is
possible to temporarily power the
system by using the battery remote
poles located inside the engine
compartment (see “Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency”). Then it is possible to
normally open the power liftgate by
using the key fob RKE transmitter.

The advanced front air bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on the severity and
type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with driver
and front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation
level of the advanced front air bags
based upon seat position.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
front passenger seat belt buckle sensor
that detects whether the front
passenger seat belt is fastened. The
seat belt buckle sensor may adjust the
inflation rate of the advanced front air
bag.
This vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) to protect the heads
of front and rear outer occupants. The
SABIC air bags are located above the side windows and their covers are also
labeled “AIR bag”.
This vehicle is also equipped with
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) for driver and passenger
pelvis-chest-shoulder protection during
a side impact. The Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags are
mounted on front seats and are
located in the outboard side of the
front seats.
NOTE:
After any accident, the vehicle should
be taken to the Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately.
Air Bag System Components Your vehicle may be equipped with the
following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC);
• Air bag warning light on the
instrument cluster;
• Steering wheel and column;
• Instrument cluster;
• Driver advanced front air bag;
• Passenger advanced front air bag;
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB);
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC); • Front and side impact sensors;
• Front seat belt pretensioners;
• Seat belt buckle switch;
• Seat track position sensors;
• Pyrotechnical charge to cut power
from the battery; it is located on the
positive battery terminal.
WARNING!
The air bag is not a substitute for the
seat belts. Correct use of the seat
belts, in combination with the air bag,
will offer protection for the driver and
passenger in the front seat in the
event of a head-on collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags
Properties The advanced front air bag system has
multistage driver and front passenger
air bags. This system provides air bag
inflation rates which are appropriate
to the severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. ThisBefore Starting

inflation rate is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output,
inflation rate, is used for more severe
collisions.
CAUTION!
• The airbag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
electrical Air Bag System Components
listed below:
– Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
– Airbag Warning light on the
instrument cluster
– Steering Wheel and Column
– Instrument Cluster
– Driver advanced front air bag
– Passenger advanced front air bag
– Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB) Air Bags
– Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
– Front and side Impact Sensors
– Front seat belt pretensioners
– Seat Belt Buckle Switch
– Seat Track Position Sensors
– Pyrotechnical charge to cut the
power from the battery: it is located on the positive battery
terminal
• The electronic control unit provides
for the activation of the
pretensioners, front air bags or side
air bags (front and rear) based on
different criteria, according to the
type of impact. Failure of one or
more systems to activate is not
indicative of a system malfunction.
• The front and/or lateral air bags may
inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent
impact involving the underbody
area, for example in case of violent
impacts against steps, sidewalks,
speed bumps, or when the vehicle
falls into potholes, or similar.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel or steering wheel because any
such objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
• Do not place anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you could be injured because the air bags may
no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag are
designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
• Always drive with your hands on
the steering wheel rim, so that the
air bag can inflate freely if required.
During the drive your back must be
as upright as comfort allows and be
against the seat back with the seat
belt properly fastened.
• Do not apply stickers or other
objects on the steering wheel, on
the dashboard in the passenger’s
side air bag area, on roof side trims
or on the seats.
• Do not travel with objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or
especially with a pipe, pencil or
other objects in your mouth. In the
event of a collision, the intervention
of the air bag could result in serious
injury.
• EXTREME HAZARD! Do not place a
rearward-facing infant seat onto the
front seat (see warning plate on the
dashboard and above and behind
the sun visors). Deployment of the
air bag in an accident could causeBefore Starting

or elbows on the door, windows or
the area in which the window bag is
located to avoid possible injury
during air bag inflation. Sit upright
in the center of the seating area.
• Do not cover the front seatbacks
with clothes or covers. Do not use
accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the side
air bags; the performance could be
adversely affected and/or objects
could cause serious injury.
• Do not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the
vehicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors
and Controls 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 or rollover
event is required. Based on the impact
sensor's signals, a central electronic
ORC deploys the advanced front air
bags, SABIC and SAB air bags, and
front seat belt pretensioners, as required, depending on the severity
and type of impact.
On top of what previously described,
the characteristics of the collision
registered by the sensors and sent to
the control unit of the ORC can also
cause a sudden cut of the power from
the battery, “blowing” the
pyrotechnical charge located on the
positive battery terminal.
CAUTION!
After a collision that has caused the
ignition of the pyrotechnical charge,
this must be replaced at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Advanced front air bags are designed
to
provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in
certain frontal collisions depending on
the severity and type of collision.
Advanced front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The advanced front air bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions,
including those that may produce
substantial vehicle damage, for
example, some pole collisions, truck
under rides, and corner impacts. On
the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, advanced front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag
deployment will depend on the
severity and type of collision. Because
air bag sensors measure vehicle
deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage merely are not good
indicators of whether or not an air
bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also
are needed to help keep you in
position, away from an inflating air
bag. The ORC monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the RUN position. If the ignition
switch is in the 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 instrumentBefore Starting

inflates. This especially applies to
children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may
deploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle. A quantity of non-toxic gas is
generated to inflate the side curtain
air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the head/s of the occupant/s
seating in the outside seats from the
edge of the headliner out of the way
and covers the window. The air bag
inflates with enough force to possibly
injure you if you are not belted and
seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
curtain air bag inflates. This especially
applies to children.
The SABICs may also help reduce the
risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain rollover events
(because equipped with rollover
sensing). Front and Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact
sensors can aid the ORC in
determining appropriate response to
impact events.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the
communication network and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the accident, the ORC
will determine whether the enhanced
accident response system will have to
perform the following functions:
• cut off fuel to the engine;
• turn hazard lights and interior lights
on as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition switch is turned
off;
• unlock the doors automatically;
• disconnect the battery with a
pyrotechnic charge.
Air Bag Deployment Result
The advanced front air bags are
designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
If you do have a collision which
deploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur: • The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags
deploy and unfold.
• As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of
the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag
inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If these particles settle on
your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning. Do not drive your vehicle
after an air bag has deployed. If you
are involved in another collision, the
air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Air bag inflation releases a small
amount of powder. This powder is not
harmful to the environment.
