Cargo Area WARNING!
To help protect against personal
injury, passengers must not be seated
in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo
space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers,
who should sit in seats and use seat
belts.
Vehicle Load Carrying Capacity The load carrying capacity of your
vehicle is shown on the vehicle
emission control label positioned on
the rear driver door's ledge.
The information indicated on the label
concerns passengers and luggage
loading operations. Do not exceed the specified Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR),
both front and rear.
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, and cargo.
The total load must be limited so that
you do not exceed the GVWR
indicated on the label.
WARNING!
• Improper weight distribution can
have an adverse effect on the way
the vehicle steers, handles and the
way the brakes operate.
• Never drive with the liftgate open.
Exhaust gases can enter the
passenger compartment.
• Do not arrange any luggage on
cargo area cover. In said position
luggage could not only impair
driver's view but also, in case of
collision or unexpected stop, it could
cause injury to all occupants.
The trunk is the most suitable place to
load
bulky and heavy
objects onboard
the vehicle. The maximum allowable
load on the floor of the trunk is 440 lb
(200 kg).Understanding the Vehicle

Should it be necessary to position the
Cargo Net in position B - more
forward, i.e., behind the front seats -
use the top retainers next to external
rear passenger handholds.
• Lower the handhold and engage the
net top ends in the slot on roof, as
already described for the rear
retainers. • Fasten the lower tethers of Cargo
Net to external retainers, also used
to fasten the top safety belt for
children seat, available on rear seat
backrests (see chapter “Child
Restraint Systems” in section “Before
Starting”).
• Attach the Velcro appendices
indicated in the figure, as described
for the rear retainers.
When Cargo Net is no longer
necessary, release the net lower part from the fastening tethers, rewind it
on itself and fasten it to the Cargo Net
structure. Remove the Cargo Net from
its fastening points, fold it and close
the bag zip.
Store bag under trunk floor, then
restore vehicle original conditions by
repositioning all moved or removed
parts.Understanding the Vehicle

Power Sunroof with
Sunshade (optional) The sunroof and the sunshade are
power-controlled and can only be
operated with the ignition switch in
RUN position.
The sunroof is made of two glass
panels: the front one can be moved
whereas the rear one is fixed. The
right switch controls the sunroof
movement, whereas the left one
controls the sunshade.
Lifting of the sunroof front panel for
venting is controlled by the button,
behind the two switches.
By opening the sunroof a front flap
rises automatically in order to deviate
the air flow. WARNING!
• Improper use of the sunroof can be
dangerous, even if it features a
finger-trap prevention system.
Before and during the sunroof
operation, always make sure that
passengers are not exposed to the
risk of injuries caused by the moving
sunroof or by personal objects
dragged or hit by the moving
sunroof.
• Never leave children in a vehicle
with the key fob RKE transmitter in
the passenger compartment.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk
of being thrown from the vehicle if
the sunroof is open. Always fasten
your seat belt properly and make
sure all passengers are properly
secured too. • Do not allow small children to
operate the sunroof. Never insert
fingers, other body parts, or any
object through the roof opening.
CAUTION!
• In the event of rain, always close the
sunroof to prevent water infiltrations
from staining the fabric/leather
upholstery.
• Do not open the sunroof if there is
ice on it: risk of damage.
• Do not open the sunroof in case of
presence of any object (bicycle,
surfboard or other type of carriers
fixed to cross bars) that might
interfere with sunroof.
Slide Opening Sunroof Press backward and release the right
switch: the front panel will open
completely.
From the completely open position,

while driving, contact your Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. Right Turn Signal Indicator
This indicator lights up
when
the right turn signals or the
hazard flashers are switched
on.
The indicator will flash at the same
frequency of the turn signals and is
controlled by the turn signal lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile (1.6
km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will advise the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.
After the bulb check or while driving,
if a seat belt is unbuckled, together
with the acoustic signal the seat belt
reminder light will light up and a
message will indicate which belt is not
fastened.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

the Start&Stop function disabling. To
restart the engine it is necessary to
press the brake pedal and push the
START/STOP button. Move the shift lever to D (Drive) to
drive away.
WARNING!
• Even when the vehicle is stopped in
the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase, the
driver is responsible for the vehicle
and the occupants and shall take
care of what happens inside and
outside the vehicle.
• Even when the vehicle is stopped
within the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase,
the vehicle driver is responsible for
the vehicle, the vehicle’s occupants
and the vehicle’s surrounding area.
Never leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running; doing so
poses a risk of danger. It is a good
practice to always ensure to set the
parking brake and place the
transmission gear selector lever into
the P (Park) position, thereby
ensuring the vehicle will not move,
when performing any vehicle checks,
maintenance and/or service
procedures on the vehicle.

“NORMAL”, “SPORT ”, “
(Suspension)“ or “I.C.E.” After
selecting this height, once the vehicle
speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h),
the vehicle height will begin to
lower. To exit “Entry/Exit” mode,
move selector to another position or
drive the vehicle over 15 mph (24
km/h). Automatic lowering of the
vehicle into “Entry/Exit” mode can be
enabled through the MTC+ (refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). If this feature is enabled,
the vehicle will only lower if the
gearshift lever is in P (Park), the
engine is running, doors and liftgate
are closed and the Pneumatic
Suspension System should be either
in “NORMAL” or “Aero”. The Vehicle
will not automatically lower if the
pneumatic suspension system is in
“Off Road 2” or “Off Road 1” mode.
The lowering will be suppressed
when the ignition is switched off and
a door is opened to prevent setting
the alarm off.
Lowering Vehicle Height for Inactivity
Lowering of vehicle ground clearance
after a long period of inactivity should
be considered normal since it is due to a drop of pressure in the pneumatic
suspension system.
Approximately, after one week of
inactivity, vehicle ground clearance will
lower by 0.4 in (10 mm). To set off the
drop of pressure due to inactivity, it is
necessary to start the engine and allow
some time until system reaches
operating pressure and lifts the vehicle
to set ride height. A message on
instrument cluster display will warn
driver when set ride height is reached.
Driving vehicle before the set riding
height is reached is not safe and could
damage suspension components.
WARNING!
After a long period of vehicle
inactivity, drive only when vehicle
reaches set ride height to prevent any
problems of the pneumatic suspension system from limiting occupants'
safety.
"Launch Control" Mode
(TROFEO version only) "Launch Control" mode is a
performance start procedure.
By activating this procedure you get
the best possible acceleration from
standstill of the car.
This mode allows you to ground the
torque necessary to prevent the
wheels from slipping during
acceleration performance.
To make a performance start in
"Launch Control" mode, the following
conditions must be met:
• Water and transmission temperature
in proper range.
• No engine, AWD and on board
systems faults.
• The vehicle must be traveled at least
440 mi (700 km).
• "CORSA" drive mode on.
• Shift lever in "D" or"M +/-" position.
• The vehicle must be stationary on a
level road surface.
• The driver door closed and the safety
belt fastened.Driving

Parking Brake The vehicle is equipped with an
electric automatic parking brake, also
called EPB (Electric Parking Brake).
The braking action is ensured by a
power actuator directly working on
the brake pad inside each caliper of
the rear brake system.
It can be automatically engaged when
the engine is turned off and
disengaged with engine running,
driver seatbelt latched and driver door
closed, while pressing the brake pedal
and operating the shift lever.
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold with
gearshift in park to avoid damage to
the vehicle. EPB can be disengaged
before turning off the vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer display and the related
message is displayed on the instrument
cluster for 5 seconds (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”). During engagement and
disengagement procedures, the
warning light
flashes until the
parking brake has reached its
maximum activation force and is
respectively fully released.
In the above-mentioned conditions,
the automatic engagement function
can be deactivated/activated by
selecting the menu item “Vehicle
settings” on the main menu (refer to
paragraph “Deactivating Automatic
Operation” in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement The parking brake can also be
manually engaged or disengaged
when the engine is running or the
ignition switch is in the RUN position,
by pressing the brake pedal and raising the lever located behind the
shift lever.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer and the related message
will be displayed for 5 seconds on the
instrument cluster.
If you attempt to engage/disengage
the parking brake without having
pressed the brake pedal, a message
will be displayed, warning you to press
the brake pedal.
If the engine was turned off when the
automatic engagement device was
deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward
within 3 minutes after turning off.Driving
