NOTE:
An authorized licensed driver must be
driving at the time of the disablement.
Items excluded from coverage:
• Parts, labor, tire repair, rental of
towing equipment, storage fees, or
any labor performed at the service
facility.
• Any form of impound towing, or
towing by someone other than a
licensed service station or garage.
• Assistance from a private citizen.Introduction

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.

trident. The “Defaults” item of “Screen Setup”
submenu allows restoring Maserati
factory settings.
TFT Display: Warning/Indicator
Lights of Set Modes/Functions Display sections indicated in the figure
show warning/indicator lights
concerning all selected driving
functions and all set functions/systems.
The relevant messages will be
indicated within the main area for five
seconds, unless otherwise specified.
Fault messages will be stored under
“Stored messages”.
Charging System Warning Light
This warning light shows the
status of the electrical
charging system. If the light
stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or
increase engine speed (if at idle). If the
charging system warning light remains
on, it means that the vehicle is
experiencing a problem with the
charging system. IMMEDIATELY
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer
to have the vehicle serviced.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Start Procedures” in section “In
an Emergency”. Transmission Temperature Warning
Light
This warning light and the
related message indicate that
the transmission fluid
temperature is rising.
If this warning light turns on, safely
pull over and stop the vehicle.
Then, shift the transmission into P
(Park) and run the engine at idle until
the temperature drops and the light
switches off. If the problem persists,
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the
transmission temperature warning
light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or failure.
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This
warning light notifies
when
the engine is
overheated. If the
temperature reaches critical
levels and the gauge displayed in
sector 12 turns red, this warning light
under the engine temperature gauge
indicator will illuminate in red color
combined with the related message on

Normal starting of either a cold or a
warm engine is obtained without
pumping or pressing the accelerator
pedal.
If the driver only pushes the
START/STOP button but does not press
the brake pedal, the ignition switch
cycles to the ACC position (see “Keys”
in section “Before Starting”) and the
instrument cluster displays the latest
screenshot.
At the second press of the
START/STOP button, the ignition
device switches to RUN position (see
“Keys” in section “Before Starting”)
and the instrument cluster displays the
latest screenshot.
At the third press of the START/STOP
button the ignition switch returns to
OFF position and the display powers
down.
At the fourth press of the START/STOP
button the screen will display the
message that invites you to press the
brake pedal and push the START/STOP
button to start the engine. NOTE:
If the ignition switch is left in the ACC
or RUN (engine not running) position
and the transmission is in P (Park), the
system will automatically time out
after 30 minutes of inactivity and the
ignition will switch to the OFF
position.
After starting the engine, the idle
speed is controlled automatically and
will decrease as the engine warms up.
Engine Start Failure WARNING!
• Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way.
• If the vehicle battery is dead,
booster cables may be used to
obtain a start from a booster battery
or the battery in another vehicle.
This type of start can be dangerous
if done improperly. See “Auxiliary
Jump Start Procedure” in section “In
an Emergency” for further
information.Driving

Procedure If your vehicle has a discharged
battery it can be jump-started using a
set of jumper cables and a battery of
another vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster. It is necessary to have
proper jumper cables in order to
connect the booster battery to the
remote posts of the discharged
battery. Booster cables have positive
and negative terminal clamps and are
identified by the sheath color (red =
positive, black = negative).
NOTE:
An Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”,
available in the “Genuine Accessories”
range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done improperly so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack, follow the battery
manufacturer’s operating instructions
and precautions. CAUTION!
• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage
the electronic systems, particularly
the control units managing the
ignition and fuel supply functions.
• If the battery is completely
discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window.
WARNING!
• Always perform jump-starting
operations with appropriate tools
and environmental conditions,
taking all necessary precautions.
