The AUX auxiliary port features:
• typical input impedance between
AUX-IN and AUX_REF: 13 Kohm;
• max. applicable voltage: 0.75 Vrms at
1 kHz;
• input compatible only with 3.5 mm
jack connectors (not included).
Any player with these characteristics
and analogue audio output (headset
output type) can be served by the
MTC+ System. The system can
recognize the connection to a player
outlet autonomously, by enabling
access to the audio functions
connected to this source.
This USB input
can be used for
data exchange (refer to the MTC+
guide for further details).
Two other USB ports for charging of
connected source (CHARGE ONLY
label) are present inside the glove box
compartment of the dashboard. In the compartment of the central
console there is also a SD memory card
input. Once inserted into the slot, to
extract it, press lightly on the card.
For rear seat passengers, there are two
USB ports inside the compartment
located on the rear end of the central
console, above the air vents.
To access the USB ports open the
outside cover. This USB ports allow charging

• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
• Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into P (Park)
and turn the ignition to OFF .
• If using another vehicle to jumpstart
the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is off.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable to the positive
(+) remote post of the vehicle with
the discharged battery after lifting
the protection cap of the cable
indicated on the external side of the
integrated power module.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
negative jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the negative (-) jumper cable to
the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery
as rendered. • Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the
engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with
the discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster, wait a few
seconds after connecting the cables,
before starting the booster vehicle.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence. • Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
negative (-) jumper cable from the
remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Disconnect the opposite terminal
clamp of the negative jumper cable
from the negative (-) post of the
booster battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
• Disconnect the opposite terminal
clamp of the positive jumper cable
from the remote positive (+) post of
the discharged vehicle.
NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle you should have
the battery and charging system
inspected at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
WARNING!
California Proposition 65

California to cause cancer and birth

Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, hood, liftgate and flaps
are properly closed. All interior lights
should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing. We recommend you to have the
battery
charge condition checked,
preferably
at the beginning of the cold
season, to prevent the electrolyte from
freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power-absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This applies
above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times.
• Before using a charger device always
check that this tool is suitable for the
installed battery, with constant
voltage (lower than 14.0 V) and low
amperage (maximum limit 15 A). • Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
• Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery.
• Ensure that any sparks or open
flames are kept well away from the
battery while it is charging.
• Before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
It is possible to recharge the battery
without
disconnecting the cables
of
the vehicle electrical system.
• To access the battery lift the ground
coverage of the trunk compartment
(see chapter “Tool Kit” section “In an
Emergency”) and remove the storage
box.
• Remove the protection cover and
connect the terminal clamp of the
charger positive cable (typically in
red) to the positive post (+) of the
battery.
• Connect the terminal clamp of the
charger negative cable (typically in
black) to the nut located by theMaintenance and Care

negative post (-) on the battery,
indicated in the picture.
The vehicle is equipped with an IBS
(Intelligent Battery Sensor) sensor able
to measure charging and discharging
currents and to calculate the state of
charge and state of health of the
battery. This sensor is located at the
negative post (-) of the battery.
For a successful charge/recharge
operation, the charging current must
flow through the IBS sensor as shown
in the picture. • Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on its user manual to
completely recharge the battery.
• When the battery is recharged, turn
off the battery charger before
disconnecting it from the battery.
• Disconnect first the terminal clamp
of the charger black cable from the
battery and then the terminal clamp
of the red cable.
• Reassemble the protection cover on
the battery positive post and the
other parts removed for this
operation.

short daily trips (approximately 10
miles/16 km) which correspond to an
annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km.
