Passive Entry System The “Passive Entry” system is an
enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
press the key fob RKE transmitter lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• “Passive Entry” may be programmed
to on/off; see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
• If wearing gloves, or if it has been
raining on the “Passive Entry” door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower
response time.
• Access to the vehicle using “Passive
Entry” system may not work properly
in case of interference caused by
external sources such as metal
objects, mobile phones, overhead
power lines, antennas, etc. In these
cases, use the buttons of the key fob
RKE transmitter to open and close
the vehicle or the emergency key,
inserting it into the driver side door
lock.
• The “Passive Entry” system does not
lock and unlock the doors directly and immediately but with a slight
delay (about 2 seconds).
Unlock Door from the Driver
Side With a valid key fob RKE transmitter
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the driver's door
handle, grip the driver’s door outside
handle to unlock the door
automatically. The interior door panel
lock knob will rise when the door is
unlocked. NOTE:
If “1st Press of Key Fob Unlocks” is
selected, all doors will unlock when
you grip the front driver’s door handle.
To select between “Driver Door” and
“All Doors”, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
Unlock Door from the
Passenger Side With a valid key fob RKE transmitter
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the passenger
door handle, grip the front passenger
outside door handle to unlock all four
doors automatically.
The interior door panel lock knob will

sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the power trunk lid
will activate within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid 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 trunk lid 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 trunk lid
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 trunk
lid release feature. For example,
when washing the vehicle, a water
jet aimed at the sensor area may trigger the “Hands free” power
trunk 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” trunk lid release
sensor.
• If somebody or something knocks
against the power trunk lid while it is
moving, the safety system might stop
lid opening or closing movement.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release If accessing the trunk from the rear
seats, operate the emergency release
lever (see the chapter "Trunk Safety"
in this section) in order to lower the
rear seat backrest (see "Cargo Area" in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”).
If the power release control operated
by pressing the button on the dome
console fails, which may occur when
the battery is low on voltage, 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”). Thus it is possible to
normally open the trunk lid by using
the key fob RKE transmitter. Have the
vehicle checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer in order to solve the
failure.Before Starting

Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park)
Position The manual disengagement of the
shift from P (Park) has the purpose to
allow towing the vehicle if not
normally possible using the shift lever
(such as inability to start the engine).
This procedure is exclusively intended
for emergency situations, only!
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully
applying the parking brake, before
activating the manual park release.
Activating the manual park release
could allow your vehicle to roll away
if it is not secured by the parking
brake. Activating the manual park
release on an unsecured vehicle could
lead to serious injury or death for
those in or around the vehicle.
The cover that allows the emergency
manual
park release
is located on the
left part of the driver’s foot well.
• Lift the mat on the driver side to
access the cover.
• Slip the cover from its seat. • Take strap out of its seat.
• With the tip of a screwdriver press
the clip shown in the picture box and
lift the strap up to release the
transmission from the P (Park)
position. The new position will allow
vehicle moving and towing.
• Release the parking brake only when
the vehicle is securely connected to a
tow vehicle.Auxiliary Jump-Start
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.In an Emergency

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 secure your vehicle by fully
applying the parking brake, before
activating the manual park release.
Activating the manual park release
could allow your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the parking
brake. Activating the manual park
release on an unsecured vehicle could
lead to serious injury or death for
those in or around the vehicle.

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 other terminal clamp
of the negative jumper cable from
the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.

Manual Release of
Transmission with Low Battery In order to push or tow the vehicle if
unable to shift the transmission out of
P (Park) (such as a discharged battery),
a manual park release is available. In
this case it is necessary to manually
release the shift lever and release the
parking brake if inserted (see
“Emergency Release of the Parking
Brake” in this section).
Follow the steps as indicated in
“Transmission Manual Release of P

manually disengage the transmission. Vehicle Towing Conditions Maserati only allows vehicle towing
either on a flatbed or with all four
wheels off the ground.
Towing an RWD Vehicle
If flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is still operable, a
RWD vehicle may be flat towed (with
all four wheels on the ground) under
the following conditions.
• The shift lever must be in N
(Neutral).
• The distance to be traveled must not
exceed 30 mi (50 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed
30 mph (50 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or
the RWD vehicle must be towed faster
than 30 mph (50 km/h) or farther than
30 mi (50 km) (for example on a
highway), tow with the rear driving
wheels off the ground and on a
platform of a rescue vehicle, or with
