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

CAUTION!
Seatback rear panel is not suitable to
support heavy loads and metal objects
with protruding elements that might
scratch its surface. If necessary, protect
the seatback rear panel surface using
rigid panels.
Installing the Cargo Net for
Cargo Area The Cargo Net can be installed to two
positions depending on the current
extension of the cargo area. When
only the trunk cover is removed (see
previous paragraph), while backrests
are still vertical, the Cargo Net must be
installed immediately behind them
(position A ).
While, in case also backrests were
folded down, the Cargo Net must be installed in a more forward position
behind the front seats (position B ).
WARNING!
• Before install the Cargo Net in the
more forward position make sure
that the backrests are locked in the
lowest position.
• The Cargo Net must be properly
installed following the instructions
in this paragraph.
• The Cargo Net will not properly hold
objects in case of sudden vehicle
braking or collision depending on
cargo weight. Heavy loads not
sufficiently fastened could exceed
net capacity and hit the vehicle
occupants, with the ensuing risk of
injury.
• Before leaving for a trip, fasten all objects that might move to trunk
floor, using the devices provided by
Maserati for this purpose.
• When using the Cargo Net, do not
load any heavy object on top of the
other objects which are laid on the
trunk floor (see example in the
figures).Understanding the Vehicle

Tire Terminology and Definitions
Tire and Loading Information Label
The proper cold tire inflation pressure
and the loading information are listed
in two labels on the driver's side rear
door pillar. The labels tells you important
information about the:
• Cold tire inflation pressures for the
front, rear, and spare tires.
• Number of people that can be
carried in the vehicle.
• Total weight the vehicle can carry.
• Tire size designed for the vehicle.Term Definition
B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the
body located behind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation
Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire
pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) after sitting for a minimum of three
hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of PSI
(pounds per square inch) or kPa (kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation
Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum
permissible cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.
The maximum inflation pressure is molded into
the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressure Vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tire
inflation pressure as shown on the tire placard.
Tire Placard A label permanently attached to the vehicle
describing the vehicle’s loading capacity, the
original equipment tire sizes and the
recommended cold tire inflation pressures. Tire Information Label

Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire
must not exceed the load carrying
capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
You will not exceed the tire's load
carrying capacity if you adhere to the
loading conditions, tire size, and cold
tire inflation pressures specified on the
“Tire and Loading Information Label”
and in the “Features and
Specifications” section.
NOTE:
Under a maximum loaded vehicle
condition, gross axle weight ratings
(GAWRs) for the front and rear axles
must not be exceeded.
To determine the maximum loading
conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX lbs/XXX kg” on the tire
and loading information label. The
combined weight of occupants and
cargo/luggage should never exceed
the weight referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load
Limit
• Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX lbs/XXX kg” on the vehicle's
label.
• Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in the vehicle.
• Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from
XXX lbs/XXX kg.
• The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if “XXX amount equals 1,400 lbs/635
kg and there will be five
150 lbs/68 kg passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs/295 kg (since 5 x 150/68 =
750/340, and 1,400/635– 750/340 =
650 lbs/295 kg).
• Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
previous Step.
• If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle. Tires
Driving over rough or damaged road
surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and
other obstacles can cause serious
damage to wheels, tires, and
suspension parts.
This is more likely to occur with
low-profile tires, which provide less
cushioning between the wheel and the
road.
Be careful to avoid road hazards and
reduce your speed, especially if your
vehicle is equipped with low profile
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is
dangerous. Overloading can cause tire
failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase the stopping distance. Use
tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them.Driving

When the tread is worn to one of the
tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
WARNING!
The wet performance (aquaplaning
resistance) will decrease
proportionally to the thickness of the
tread.
Tires Durability The service life of a tire depends on
various factors including, but not
limited to:
• driving style;
• tire pressure;
• distance driven.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire (if equipped)
should be replaced after six years,
regardless of the remaining tread.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in tire failure. Replacement Tires NOTE:
In order to maintain high performance
and safety level under all driving
conditions, Maserati strongly
recommends to use tires equivalent to
the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is
needed.
For the size designation of your tire
see the label on the driver's side rear
door pillar or see table “Wheels” in
section “Features and Specifications”.
The “Load Index” and “Speed
Symbol” for your tire will be found on
the original equipment tire sidewall.
NOTE:
Maserati recommends Maserati
Genuine Tires marked with “MGT”
logo specifically designed for its
models.
It is recommended to replace the two
front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel assembly,
make sure that the wheel’s
specifications (valve, TPMS sensor and
tire) match those of the original
wheels. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
Your Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to provide suggestions as to
the types of tires most suited to the
use foreseen by the Customer.
WARNING!
• Do not use a tire, wheel size or
rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may
change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics,
resulting in altered steering,
handling, and braking operations of
the vehicle. This can cause
unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension
components. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings
appointed for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load
index or capacity, other than what
was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller
load index could result in tire
overloading and failure.
• Always check the maximum speed

(Continued)
rating on the tire sidewall on any
tire on the vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tires. Risk of accident
and serious personal injury due to
excessive speed.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed
capability can result in tire failure.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Winter Tires These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle. Winter or all-season tires can
be identified by the M+S (Mud &
Snow) or 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain
Snow Flake) designation on the tire
sidewall.
Before mounting winter tires, contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer to
receive the technical information
necessary to advise you on wheel and
tire compatibility. As to the type of tires to use, inflation
pressures and winter tires
specifications, carefully follow the
indications as reported in the
“Technical Data” and “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapters in section “Features
and Specifications”.
WARNING!
The standard tires profile and rubber
mixture are optimized for wet and dry
driving conditions. Standard tires may
not prove favorable for snow
conditions.
NOTE:
Snow
tires should have the same load
capacity as original equipment tires
and should be mounted on all four
wheels.
Snow Chains Maserati approved traction devices (or
snow chains) may be used to improve
traction on compacted snow in heavy
snow conditions.
They should not be used in off-road
conditions where there is no
compacted snow.
Maserati tested and recommends to
use traction devices with air suspension system in “Off Road 1” or
“Off Road 2” ride height in order to
increase wheel clearance.
In any case do not exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Please contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for further information.
The chains may be fitted only on rear
wheel tires.
Check the snow chain tension after
driving for a distance of about 55 yd
(50 m) with the chains fitted.
With the snow chains fitted, it is
advisable to deactivate the ESC system
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section).
CAUTION!
• The use of non-recommended snow
chains may damage the vehicle.
• Broken snow chains can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate snow chain breakage.
Replace the damaged parts of the
snow chain before further use.
• Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe
turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.Driving
