Suggestions for Obtaining
Service for Your Vehicle Prepare for the Appointment If warranty work is required, be sure
to have the right papers with you and
take your warranty folder. Not all
work being performed may be
covered by the warranty: therefore
discuss additional charges with the
service manager. It is advisable to keep
a maintenance log of your vehicle’s
service history, as this can often
provide a clue to the current problem.
Prepare a List Make a written list of your vehicle’s
problems or the specific work you
wish to be performed. If the vehicle
has had an accident or work done that
is not indicated on the maintenance
log, please communicate this to the
service advisor.
Optimize the Requests If there are a number of items
needing attention, it is advisable to
discuss this with your service advisor to
agree on the order of priorities.
At many Authorized Dealers/Service
Centers , it is possible to obtain a
loaner vehicle or a rental vehicle at a minimal daily charge. If you need a
rental vehicle, it is advisable to make
these arrangements prior to the visit,
for example when you call to set the
appointment.
If You Need Assistance The manufacturer/Maserati and its
Authorized Dealers/Service Network
set highest priority to the client’s
satisfaction with the products and
services.
Warranty service must be performed
by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer/Service Center .
Should there be any issues, please
keep in mind that most matters can be
resolved with the following process.
• If for some reason you are still not
satisfied, please contact the general
manager or owner of the Service
Center, it is their responsibility to
assist you.
• If a Service Center is unable to
resolve the issue, you may contact
Maserati Customer Center .
Any communication to the Maserati
Consumer Affairs should include the
following information:
• Owner’s name and address.
• Owner’s telephone number (home
and office).

WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicleWarnings when Driving Your driving skills will improve with
experience, but be especially careful at
the beginning. Always comply with
local traffic regulations wherever you
drive.
This vehicle is also suitable for off-road
use, using the dedicated controls and
functions to obtain the optimum
balance to safely face the situations
that this kind of route may pose.
We recommend you to start gradually
in order to acquire the necessary
expertise and the perfect control of
the vehicle. Follow the indications
contained in chapter "Off-road Drive"
in section “Driving” for information
concerning the off-road use of the
vehicle.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or a
collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive
speed or in an altered state or while
intoxicated may result in loss of
control, going off the road, or
overturning. In all these situations a
collision with other vehicles or objects
is more likely to happen with the risk
to cause an accident that may lead to
serious injury.Introduction

In case of an accident, failure to use
seat belts causes the driver and
passengers a greater risk of injury or
death.
This Owner's Manual contains
warnings against operating procedures
that could result in a collision or injury
or damage to the environment. It also
contains cautions against procedures
that could damage the vehicle. If you
do not read this manual in its entirety,
you may miss important information.
Consider carefully all warnings and
cautions.
Important information may be missed
for not reading this manual in its
entirely. Consider carefully all
warnings and cautions.
WARNING!
• It is the driver’s responsibility to
operate the vehicle in a safe way: if
you are distracted while driving you
can lose control and cause serious
accidents.
• Maserati strongly recommends you
use particular care when operating
the features and tools that may
distract you.
• Mobile phones, PC, portable audio
device or other features operated while the vehicle is moving can be
very dangerous and can cause
serious accidents, and in some states
is against the law.
• It is very dangerous to send text
messages while driving, do so only
when the vehicle is not moving.
• In some Countries/States the use of
mobile phones when driving is
forbidden: it is the driver’s sole
responsibility to respect local
regulations.
• ROLL-OVER WARNING Utility vehicles
have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
This vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and a higher center of
gravity than many passenger
vehicles. It is capable of performing
better in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Driven in an unsafe
manner, all vehicles can go out of
control. Because of the higher center
of gravity, if this vehicle is out of
control it may roll over while some
other vehicles may not. Do not
attempt sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers, or other unsafe driving
actions that can cause loss of vehicle
control. Failure to operate this
vehicle safely may result in a
collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.
Failure to use the driver and
passenger seat belts provided is a
major cause of severe or fatal injury.
In fact, the U.S. government notes
that the universal use of existing
seat belts could cut the highway
death toll by 10,000 or more each
year and could reduce disabling
injuries by two million annually. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Always
buckle up.
CAUTION!
If battery charge is too low, proper
function of some electric/electronic
components may not be guaranteed. It
is necessary to recharge the battery in
order to allow all vehicle’s components
and systems to function correctly.Introduction

Remote Start System On the vehicles that are equipped
with this system, the key fob RKE
transmitter enables to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The
system has a range of approximately
300 ft (91 m). Obstructions between
the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate
from a normal distance, check for
these conditions:
• A weak battery in the RKE
transmitter. The expected life of the
battery is a minimum of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radio.
• Obstructions between the vehicle
and the Key Fob. How to use Remote Start All of the following conditions must

Apart from activating indicators
blinking when power liftgate is
operated, it is also possible to activate
a sound warning by selecting the
relevant function within MTC+ user
settings (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
When power liftgate edge reaches the
car body, the motor locking the latch is
activated automatically.
If necessary, the power liftgate can
also be opened or closed manually
using the handles indicated in the
picture. This operation could be
required when the liftgate remains
open for a long period of time. NOTE:
Frequent activations of the anti-pinch
protection function may disable the
automatic movement of the power
liftgate. To reactivate this function,
perform a reset cycle by carrying out a
complete opening/closing sequence,
after manually closing the power
liftgate.
WARNING!
• Activate power liftgate only when
vehicle is at a standstill.
• Always pay utmost attention when
opening and closing the tailgate. If
for any reason the protection system
might fail to respond, it could cause
injury to anyone within the
operating area.
• After the closing command, always
make sure that power liftgate is
completely closed.
CAUTION!
• Under extreme weather conditions,
liftgate seal could freeze and
compromise power liftgate
automatic opening and closing. • Before opening power liftgate, make
sure that no objects or snow are set
on liftgate or might jam or prevent
its opening.
Hands Free Power Liftgate Release
and Closing
This mode is
controlled by the “Passive
Entry” system (see paragraph “Passive
Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the
power liftgate when you place your
foot in the area under the rear
bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3
ft (1 m) of the power liftgate.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the power liftgate, stand
behind the vehicle, near the liftgate,
and move your foot under the bumper
as if to kick something. Do not place
your foot too close to the bumper or
touch the underbody.
