NOTE:
Your key fobs can be unlinked to your memory settings by pressing the “S” button followed by the button on the key fob.
Memory Position Recall
NOTE:
The vehicle must be in P (Park) to recall memory positions. If a recall is attempted when the vehicle is not in P (Park), a message will display in the instrument cluster.
To recall the memory settings for driver, press memory button number “1” or “2” on the driver's door trim panel or the button on the key fob linked to memory position “1” or “2” with ignition device in the RUN position. A recall can be canceled by pressing any of the buttons (“S”, “1”, or “2”) during a recall. When a recall is canceled, the driver seat, external side mirrors, adjustable pedals ( ), and power tilt
and telescopic steering column stop moving. A delay of at least one second will occur before selecting a new recall.
Easy Entry/Exit Driver Seat ( )
This function provides automatic driver seat positioning to enhance driver mobility when entering and exiting the vehicle. The distance the driver seat moves depends on where you have the driver seat positioned when you place the ignition device to the OFF position.
When you cycle the ignition device to
the OFF position the driver seat:
- will move about 2.36 in (60 mm)
rearward if the driver seat position is greater than or equal to ca. 5.51 in (140 mm) forward of the rear stop;
- will move to a position of ca. 3.15 in
(80 mm) rearward of the rear stop if the driver seat position is between
5.51 in (140 mm) and 3.15 in (80 mm) forward of the rear stop.
The seat will return to its previously set
position when you place the ignition device into the ACC or RUN position.
The easy entry/exit function is disabled
when the driver seat position is less than 3.15 in (80 mm) forward of the rear stop. In this position, there would be no benefit to the driver by moving the seat for easy exit or easy entry.
18
Page 21
Understanding the Vehicle
Each stored memory setting will have an associated easy entry/exit position.
NOTE:

Rear Seats

Rear seats can fit three passengers. Seats, head restraints and seat belts are parts of the occupant restraint system of the vehicle.
For further information, : chapter “Occupants Restraint Systems (ORS)” and “Head Restraints” in section “Safety”.
WARNING! Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Rear Seat Folding Seatback
The 60/40 split-folding seatback of the rear seat provides for a recliner function with three available fixed positions that can be set using the lever on seat external side. The LH lever tilts the long part (60), while the RH lever tilts the shorter one (40). The less tilted position (90°) is the one most suitable when a child seat must be installed; the other positions tilt the seatback toward the liftgate up to 23°. To tilt the seatback, lift the lever from its rest position 0 to position 1 while pushing the seatback to the back until reaching the required position. When releasing the lever, the fixed positions
will be acknowledged by lever control cable clicking in place to lock. Ensure that seatback is fastened to the position by trying to move it back and forth. Lever control cable locks also when fully folding the seatback down on the seat. To move the seatback in another position, lift the lever to position 1 and hold it up until bringing seatback to the new fixed position, which is acknowledged by the cable locking in place when releasing the lever.
WARNING!
Ensure the seatback is always locked
in one of the fixed positions before fastening the rear seat belts. An unlocked seatback cannot ensure the necessary stability for passengers and/or for child seats. An unlocked
2
19
Page 22

seatback could cause severe injuries in case of accident. When fastening a child seat on
external rear seats, ensure that the
2
corresponding seatback is in the full upright position. Always check that the head restraint
of the rear seats that must be occupied by a passenger is correctly adjusted ( : chapter “Head Restraints” in section “Safety”. ).

Rearview Mirrors

External Mirrors
External mirrors can be adjusted electrically and are equipped with anti-mist resistors operated by the air conditioning system (see “Air Conditioning Controls” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The mirrors can be closed electrically and will yield in both directions in case of a collision. The external mirrors are electrochromic, which means, they automatically operate an anti-glare function by gradually shading as the light hitting the mirrors increases. The external rear-view electrochromic mirrors work in conjunction with the internal rear-view electrochromic mirror.
NOTE:
The mirrors can be adjusted electrically
only with the ignition device in ACC and RUN position.
When the vehicle is started, the
indicator light shown in the picture will momentarily illuminate in both outside rear-view mirrors to let the driver know that the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system ( ) is operational. For more details see chapter “Blind Spot Assist - BSA” or

The external of the rear-view mirror support is equipped with LEDs, lighting up when the turn signals and vehicle entry/exit lights are activated. When the surround view camera system is installed, at the external bottom side of the rear-view mirror is the side view camera (refer to “Surround View Camera System” in section “Driver Assistance Systems”).
Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror controls are located on the driver's door trim panel. The power mirror controls consist of mirror select buttons and a four-way mirror control switch.
To adjust a rearview mirror, press either the L (left) or R (right) button to select the mirror that you want to adjust. The spin button will illuminate indicating the rearview mirror is activated and can be adjusted. Press the mirror control switch corresponding to the arrow indicating the direction of the desired movement. For optimal vision orientate the outside(s) mirror(s) in order to frame the adjacent lane and get a partial overlap
with the visible image on the inside rearview mirror. Power mirror preselected positions can be reset by operating the Memory Driver Seat device (if equipped). Check “Memorize the Driver's Seat Position” in this section for further information.
WARNING! Vehicles and other objects seen in the external side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Use the inside mirror to judge the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the external side convex mirror.
Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
This function provides automatic external rearview mirrors positioning, allowing the driver to view the ground area behind the front doors. The external mirrors will move slightly downward from the current position when the shift lever is shifted into reverse. The external mirrors will then return to the original position when the lever is shifted out of the reverse position. Each memory set of the driver's seat (see "Memorize the Driver's Seat Position" chapter in this section) corresponds to a mirror tilt position in reverse.
24
Page 27
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be turned on and off using the MIA system, refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.
Folding Mirrors
By selecting this function on MIA the rear-view mirrors automatically fold when the vehicle is locked by the key fob and when the power liftgate is closed and locked by pressing the button on the outer ledge of the left trunk compartment lining. When the vehicle and the liftgate will be unlocked and the ignition device is set on ACC or RUN position, the rear-view mirrors will automatically open in the position they had before the lock. The switch for the power folding mirrors is located between the power mirror switches.
Press the switch once and the mirrors will fold in; press the switch a second time to reset the mirrors to the standard position. There is a way to make external mirrors automatically fold/unfold.
If the function is available, it needs
to be activated by MIA (refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”).
If the mirrors are automatically folded
after the last lock action, then they will automatically unfold when the ignition device is set on ACC or RUN position.
If the mirrors were manually folded by
the switch on the driver's door panel, before a lock action, they will need to be manually unfolded to reactivate the automatic function.
Understanding the Vehicle
CAUTION!
Never retract or open the mirrors manually: it could damage the power mechanism.
Internal Rearview Mirror
The position of internal rearview mirror can be manually adjusted, and is endowed with an accident prevention release system operating in the event of a collision. Internal rearview mirror is electrochromic: this glare function is automatically deactivated in reverse to ensure maximum visibility of obstacles.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean.
“Mirror Dimmer” Function
The auto-dimming function can be disabled or re-enabled by pressing the on/off button on the mirror base. Disabling this function will increase the reflectance of the internal mirror, increasing visibility at night.

External Lighting

External Lights Equipment
The vehicle is equipped with lighting systems and functions that depend on the type of equipment and the target market. Some of these are completely automatic, other can be switched on and off via the light switch and the multifunction lever on the dashboard, or via "Controls" and "Settings" menu of "Vehicle" page on MIA. This chapter only describes systems that may or may not be installed because of the various options available. For switching the external lights on and off via the light switch and the multifunction lever behind the steering wheel, refer to the chapter "Light Controls" in section "Dashboard Instruments and Controls".
External Lights Cluster
The lights of the front clusters are arranged as follows:
Bi-Xenon Version
1 Bi-Xenon low-beam/high-beam
bulb (25W-No AFS).
2 Position and DRL light LED. 3 Turn signal LED. 4 Side-marker light LED. 5 Side reflex-reflector. 6 Front fog light LED.

Understanding the Vehicle
The lights of the rear clusters are arranged as follows:
1 Position light guide LED. 2 Stop and direction indicator light
LED.
3 Side reflex-reflector. 4 Reverse light LED. 5 Rear fog light LED.
Integrated External Rearview Mirror Lights
LED turn signals are integrated on the support of the external rear-view mirrors.
The LED turn signal indicators flash simultaneously with the corresponding turn signal lights in the front and rear of the vehicle. Turning on the hazard warning flashers will also activate these LEDs. On the vehicles with "Surround View Camera System", the external mirrors are equipped also with approach and courtesy LEDs ( ), lighting up when the vehicle entry/exit lights are activated. For further information, see chapter "Illuminated Entry/Exit" in section "Before Starting".
SmartBeam™System ( )
The SmartBeam™ system provides increased forward lighting for a more comfortable and secure driving experience without resulting in glare to other vehicles in certain traffic situations. The SmartBeam™ system uses a forward facing digital camera, located on the windshield behind the internal rear-view mirror, and an electronic headlights controller in order to dynamically adapt the front light distribution according to the traffic scenario. The digital camera works like a human eye, it is able to see which is the traffic context while the headlight electronic controller works like a human brain, using information from the camera to command a headlight reaction that gives
to the driver the “best” light distribution (best is always in reference to the specific traffic environment). The camera gives information to the electronic headlight controller about environmental brightness, traffic participants vehicle and obstacles lights, distances and velocities. Using a proper combination of all these data the smart beam system is able to dynamically modify the light shape produced by the dipped beam and by the full beam as well, to make the driver visibility as much comfortable as possible in every condition without glaring other traffic participants.
System Limitations
There are some cases in which the SmartBeam™ system may not function properly temporarily, and cause glaring for other vehicles especially with “Auto Dim High Beams” function activated on MIA “Settings” page (see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section "Dashboard Instruments and Controls"). These cases could be related to:
Vehicles headlight and/or rear light
(one or both of them) not visible in the field of view of the camera.
Heavy rainy weather.
Heavy foggy weather.
Snowing weather.
Windshield dirt or impurities in camera
lens zone.
2
27
Page 30
Understanding the Vehicle
Camera lens obstruction or logging.
In all these cases, it will be the driver’s responsibility to avoid this glaring by acting manually on the system, switching off the high beam by means of
2
steering wheel multifunction lever.
Bi-Xenon Headlight (without AFS) ( )
The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights operate with an electric arc saturated with Xenon gas under pressure, instead of the incandescent filament. The light produced is assuredly higher compared to traditional light bulbs, in terms of quality (brighter light) as well as of the span and positioning of the illuminated area.
WARNING! If xenon headlamp replacement is necessary, contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Adaptive “Full-LED” Headlight ( )
These headlights combines the “Full­LED” technology to the AFS (Advanced Frontlighting System) adaptive functions, using a forward-facing camera located on the windshield behind the internal rear-view mirror.
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology allows having headlights with a simpler construction and a more compact size compared to those equipped with traditional or Xenon light bulbs. Other advantages are:
a clearer light beam, with a cool white
tone that allows a better perception of the contrasts thus making the night vision more efficient and less tiring;
a longer duration equivalent at least to
that of the vehicle;
a reduced current consumption.
These functions positively affect some vehicle management economy aspects by eliminating/reducing the light bulb replacements and the fuel consumption. The picture shows the increased brightness of the low beam of standard halogen headlights (A) compared to those Full-LED (B) in the “motorway beam” mode.
AFS Functions
The system is able to process signals of onboard systems and subsequently start up five strategic steps in the following situations:
“motorway beam”;
“country beam”;
“town beam”;
“adverse weather beam”;
“tourist beam” (for example in countries
with circulation on the opposite side). In this case this function must be activated via the menu of MIA (refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”).
The advantages offered by the AFS system are perceived especially in case of bad weather, fog and/or insufficient road indications providing broader illumination of the side zones, which are normally left in the dark, and for motorway driving. This surely increases driving safety as it offers less eye stress and increased orientation for the driver and better detection of other persons on the road sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and motorcycle drivers). Furthermore, the headlamps are suitable to prevent glare, providing optimal lighting when driving the car in a country with circulation on the opposite side.

curve, steering, or in the event of road deviations, optimizing vertical light distribution according to the current drive path. The increased lateral illumination is gained through a fixed bending light or a cornering light (depending on the market) elaborating information about the steering angle, the vehicle speed and the turn indicator. The improved vertical illumination, in case of fast acceleration and/or fast deceleration, will assure the deeper illuminated distance from the vehicle, through a dynamical adaptation of headlight vertical attitude.
NOTE:
Each time the adaptive headlight
system is turned on, the headlights adjustment will perform a self­adjustment cycle.
All AFS functions are available only if
the vehicle is moving forward.
“Adaptive Front Light” function can be
turned on or off using the MIA system, refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instrument and Controls” for further information.
AFS System Failure
In the event of AFS system unavailable, the related warning light and message will light up on the TFT display. Take your vehicle to the nearest Center of the
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible to check the system.
2
Automatic High Beam ( )
The Automatic High Beam headlight control system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of the forward-facing digital camera located behind the rear-view mirror, which is the same one used for example by the Lane Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles with ADAS systems. This camera detects the environmental luminosity, the headlamps of oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps of proceeding vehicles in the front area. In these cases, the system automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. Furthermore, the digital camera is able to detect the urban areas and the inhabited
29

centers and to turn off the high beams when driving near of one of them. The properly working for this system (if all the other conditions are met) is ensured between 21.7 MPH (35 km/h)
2
and 155 MPH (250 km/h).
Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam function:
Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
Put the light switch in “AUTO” position.
Touch the "Vehicle" soft-key on the
main category bar of the MIA display and open the "Settings" menu.
Choose the "Auto Dim High Beams" function in the "Lights" submenu and insert the check mark in the box to turn on the function.
To turn off the function delete the
check mark in the box. After these steps, the green indicator on the upper right side of the TFT display comes on.
NOTE:
The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right lighting conditions and them switch to low beam on.
Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the system to function improperly.
High Beam with “Glare Free” Function (not allowed on the US market)
The "Glare Free" function associated with "Full-LED" headlamps assists the driver during traveling on an off-city road with not sufficient environmental illumination allowing the high beam
use also with other traffic participants without glaring disturbance. The no glaring effect is obtained through matrixes of LED that are dynamically switched on and off in order to create a shadow zone in correspondence of each other traffic participants lights (motor vehicles and bicycles, as well), according to the information about other vehicles’ lights coming from the forward-facing digital camera located on the windshield, behind the internal rear-view mirror. The no glaring system is a multi-shadow system, since it’s able to create up to four light tunnels simultaneously, each tunnel zone is as large as the obstacle that should not be glared. The figure represents an example of the car that is travelling in the following scenarios:
30
Page 33
Understanding the Vehicle
1 two vehicles ahead in the same
direction;
2 another vehicle that is overtaking;
3 another vehicle proceeding in the
opposite direction.
The system is able to detect and react to an oncoming vehicle starting from a distance of about 400 yd (400 m), in a couple of seconds. Instead, in case of the preceding vehicles, the system is able to detect and react in few seconds starting from a distance of about 100 yd (100 m).
Activation Mode
The digital camera is the same used for the automatic high beam, and like automatic high beam also for "Glare Free" function it needs to be activated by MIA “Settings” menu of "Vehicle" page, insert the check mark on the box of the “Auto Dim High Beams” function
(see chapter "Functions of Settings Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard Instruments and Controls"). The “Glare Free” function will be engaged after the following actions:
Engine run.
Function enabled by MIA.
Low beam on.
Interior light switch in position “Auto”.
Multifunction lever in “High beam”
activated position.
The “Glare Free” function will work if:
The vehicle speed is equal or greater
than 21.7 MPH (35 km/h) in the engagement phase of the function.
Environmental brightness is not
sufficient for a safe and comfortable drive.
Traffic scenario out of urban context.
Once the system will be active, there will be two indicators on the instrument cluster, showed in the same time: one blue and one green. The green indicator indicates that the “Auto Dim High Beams” function is activated on MIA; the blue indicator indicates that all or only some high beam LEDs are physically on in that moment. When instead there is the needing to switch off the whole high beam module to obtain the no glaring effect, on the instrument cluster there will be just one indicator on: the green one.
When the scenario allows the partial or full use of high beam with no glaring disturbance, the blue indicator will appear again.
2
NOTE:
Some unpredictable conditions,
such as dirt, dust, film or any other obstruction on camera lens zone events could affect “Glare Free” function making it working improperly.
Heavy rainy and foggy weather could
affect system performance, leaving the full beam switched on for longer time than the nominal working condition. This could cause a glaring disturbance for other vehicles, to avoid this the driver has to switch off the high beam manually.
In phase of disengagement of the
function, the minimum operating speed is 15.5 MPH (25 km/h).
(Continued)

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 loading information label positioned on the driver's side door pillar.
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). To load your vehicle properly, store heavier items below and be sure you distribute their weight as evenly as possible.

CAUTION!
To avoid luggage inadvertent movement, in case of sudden braking or collision, always check correct fastening of the retainers onto floor rails before anchoring any luggage.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with information about the available “Genuine Accessories” for the trunk compartment.
Loading with Rear Seatbacks Folded Down
The 60/40 split-folding seatback of the rear seat provides cargo-carrying versatility. The seatback folded down provides a continuous nearly-flat extension of the load floor able to accommodate bulky luggage, large-sized equipment and
objects that may not fit with the normal dimensions of the trunk.
NOTE:
Both seat backs can be folded down independently.
WARNING! To prevent the other luggage in the trunk from getting into the passenger compartment and creating a potential danger for the passengers, keep trunk cover installed when folding down one of the two seatbacks.
When the seatbacks are unfolded to the upright position, make sure they are latched in one of the fixed positions (see “Rear Seats” in this section).
WARNING!
Make sure that the seatback is
securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or rear passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury. The cargo area in the rear of the
vehicle with the rear seatbacks in the folded down position should not be used as a play area by children when
the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a collision. Children should be seated and use proper restraint systems.
Ski and Snowboard Bag Compartment
To stow and safely fasten a ski and snowboard bag, with no need to fold down the seatback, use the opening available at the back of the longer seatback (60), at the level of the armrest between the rear seats. To reach this compartment and properly arrange the bag, proceed as follows.
From inside the passenger
compartment, lower the armrest between the rear seats.
From the trunk compartment, open the
flap at the back of the long seatback.
Insert the bag end without anchor hook
into seatback opening.

lift the cover rear end and slide it
towards the liftgate: this will result in sliding the four lower ends of the cover inner part out of their guides on trunk panel;
Trunk Compartment Cover
Trunk compartment cover is made of two parts, the most outward one lifts when liftgate is opened. The cover can be removed to obtain a larger cargo area, as follows:
slide the top end of side linkages out of
the shafts on rear pillars;
remove trunk cover from the vehicle.
The two parts of trunk cover can be folded one onto the other for a more compact unit.
46
Page 49
WARNING! Driving with no trunk cover could be dangerous. Any unfastened luggage or objects could move into the passenger compartment in case of sudden stop or collision and seriously injure the occupants. To prevent this, always refit the trunk cover or use the Cargo Net as described in the following paragraph "Installing the Cargo Net for Cargo Area".
When refitting the trunk cover, perform the same operations in reverse order.
WARNING! After refitting the trunk cover, make sure that the lower ends of the inner part have properly engaged in their guides. If cover is not properly positioned and fastened, in case of unexpected stop or collision it could move and seriously injure the passengers in the rear seats.
Cargo Area Extension
The following procedure is aimed at obtaining the maximum possible extension of the cargo area, and it can be only a partial extension if you carry out only a few of the listed operations.
Remove the trunk cover as indicated
under “Trunk Compartment Cover” in this chapter.
Completely lower the side head
restraints of rear seats ( : chapter "Head Restraints" in section "Safety").
On the long part (60) of the backrest
place the central head restraint in the position of use indicated on the label applied on the fixed side windows ( : chapter "Head Restraints" in section "Safety").
Completely fold down the rear
seatback by lifting the lever to position 1 and hold it up.
Release the lever when seatback is
against the seat: the control cable will click into place and lock.
In this position, push down on the
seatback of the long part (60): the control cable will click into place and lock.
Understanding the Vehicle
2
Now that seatbacks are folded down, trunk floor and the back panels of seatbacks will form a larger flat floor.
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).
47
Page 50
Understanding the Vehicle
2
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 installing 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).
The Cargo Net is housed in the accessories compartment under the trunk floor. The Cargo Net is supplied folded, inside a bag that is part of the net itself. To install it, open the bag zip, unfold the two parts until hearing the jointing elements clicking in place. To close it, press the button indicated in the figure, at the two jointing elements.

Front to Back Roof Rails ( )

The front to back roof rails that can be installed to this vehicle have been designed to carry luggage or equipment suitable for transport outside of the vehicle.
Lower the handhold and engage the net
top ends in the slot on roof, as already described for the rear retainers.
Fasten the lower tethers of Cargo Net
to external retainers, also used to fasten the top safety belt for children seat, available on rear seat backrests ( : chapter “Child Restraint Systems (CRS)” in section “Safety”).
Attach the Velcro appendices indicated
in the figure, as described for the rear retainers.
50
When Cargo Net is no longer necessary, release the net lower part from the fastening tethers, rewind it on itself and fasten it to the Cargo Net structure. Remove the Cargo Net from its fastening points, fold it and close the bag zip. Store bag under trunk floor, then restore vehicle original conditions by repositioning all moved or removed parts.
Weight of luggage/equipment carried on the rails must not exceed 176 lb (80 kg) and must be evenly distributed. This weight must be added to the load carried inside of the vehicle as well as the passengers' weight, and total must not exceed the the total allowable weight- GVWR ( : chapter “Weights” in section “Technical Specifications”). When arranging load on rails, make sure that it will not interfere with power liftgate and sunroof opening (if equipped). Securely fasten load to rails using the suitable retainers that can hold the
Page 53
Understanding the Vehicle
original anchorage points throughout the trip. When installing to rails any bicycle, surfboard or other types of carriers requiring cross bars, please comply with the equipment manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation. The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with any information about the Maserati approved Carrying Items, available in the "Genuine Accessories" range.
WARNING!
During the trip, it is recommended to
periodically check that all luggage or equipment carried on the roof rails remained properly fastened. Parts or items that may have shifted or become unfastened during travel could damage the vehicle or become detached from the roof, resulting in potential danger to you or vehicles around yours. When driving with a bulky load on roof
rails, take additional precautions and drive at lower speed, keeping a wider safety distance from vehicles ahead. Indeed, a bulky and/or heavy load carried on the roof will affect driving behavior and steering response since it shifts the vehicle center of gravity to
a higher position compared to normal conditions.
NOTE:
All objects/equipment carried on the roof and protruding beyond the windshield, e.g. surfboard, must be fastened to both sides of the vehicle. Any wind blow might suddenly increase load lift possibly resulting in breakage and loss of part of the carried equipment.

All doors will unlock when you grip the front passenger door handle regardless of the driver’s door unlock preference setting (“Driver Door” or “All Doors”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking of the Key fob Inside the Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a key fob inside your vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system is equipped with an automatic door unlock function which will function if the ignition device is in the OFF position. If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors have been closed, the system checks the inside and outside of the vehicle for any valid key fobs. If one of the vehicle's key fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid key fobs are detected outside
the vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps the horn fourteen times (on the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will lock and the key fob will be locked in the vehicle). This will happen even when pressing the lower button on the outer edge of the left trunk compartment lining to close and lock the power liftgate.
NOTE:
The vehicle automatically unlocks the doors under any of the following conditions:
the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on the door panel;
there is a valid key fob inside the
vehicle;
there is not a valid key fob outside the
vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not automatically unlock the doors under any of the following conditions:
the doors are locked using the key fob;
the doors are locked using the “Passive
Entry” button on the door handles;
there is a valid key fob outside the
vehicle and within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive Entry” door handle;
fifteen attempts are made to lock
the doors using the door panel switch and/or the lower button (on the outer edge of the left trunk compartment) and then close the doors.

In any case, when you press the lower button , the doors will not be locked and the alarm system will not be armed immediately, but only when the liftgate will have reached the totally closed position as effect of every movement commands received from every other available inputs.
NOTE:
The order of the functions shown does
not represent the sequence in which they can be performed.
The buttons of the power liftgate do
not work if a gear is engaged or if the vehicle speed is higher than 0 MPH or km/h.
The power liftgate does not work with
temperatures lower than−22°F (−30°C ) or higher than 150°F (65°C).
If the opening buttons or the handles
are operated while the power liftgate is closing, the stroke of liftgate stops. Pressing another time the same command it reverses movement and fully open.
If the opening buttons or the handles
are operated while the power liftgate is opening, the motor of the liftgate is disabled to allow manual operation.
If the power liftgate finds several
obstacles during the same operating
80

Before Starting
cycle, it will stop automatically and must be opened or closed manually.
If the power liftgate is closing and
a gear is engaged, the liftgate will continue closing. In this condition, it is possible that, during the closing stroke, it may find an obstacle and stop.
WARNING! If, for any reason, the liftgate must remain open while driving, close all the windows and activate the fan of the air conditioning control at the maximum speed to force the air out of the vehicle to avoid exhaust emission intrusion. Do not activate recirculation.
Set the Position of Maximum Power Liftgate Opening
The maximum opening position of the liftgate can be modified using the previously described buttons on the outer left edge of the trunk compartment.
1. Activate the liftgate and stop it in
the new maximum opening position to be set, by pressing the upper
button.
2. Press the upper or lower
buttons and keep it pressed for 3 seconds.
3. Release the button (pressed in the
previous point). Upon the following opening controls, the liftgate will stop in the stored position.
If you want to reset the maximum possible opening position of the liftgate, proceed as described below starting from the previously set opening position.
1. Manually push the liftgate to
the maximum possible opening position.
2. Repeat the previously performed
steps 2 and 3.
Power Liftgate Automatic Safe Movement
Power liftgate safe opening and closing is ensured by a protection system able to stop its movement when an obstacle is detected along the path: when opening or closing, it stops automatically and then slightly moves back. Along the upper outer edges, the vehicle can be equipped with anti-pinch protection sensors. These sensors stop the automatic closing stroke and partly open the power liftgate when a pressure is carried out, also slight, within their range shown in the figure.
3
After the closing command, when power liftgate starts closing, all the indicators will blink to warn anyone within range. 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 MIA user settings (see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” 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.
81
Page 84
Before Starting
3
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 to not obstruct rear visibility. 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
"Hands Free" mode is controlled by the “Passive Entry” system (see chapter “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 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.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention to the exhaust
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.
82
Page 85
Before Starting
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 function. For example, when washing the vehicle, a water jet aimed at the sensor area may trigger the Hands free power liftgate release function. Keep the key fob away from the sensing range of the sensors (10 ft/3 m) or disable the Hands Free function from the MIA menu (see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). A key fob 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 fails to operate by either the key fob or by pressing the button on the dome console, the vehicle battery could be low or disconnected. If the doors are still locked, use the emergency mechanical key inserted in the driver’s door lock to enter the vehicle and open the hood. In this condition, 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 unlock and open the power liftgate by using the key fob or the button on the dome console. Have the vehicle serviced by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.

Hood Operation

Opening
Two latches must be released to open the hood.
From inside the vehicle, pull the hood
release lever located under the left lower side of the dashboard.
3
Move to the outside and stand in front
of the vehicle front grille.
Slightly lift the hood and push the
safety catch as indicated by the arrow.
83
Page 86
Before Starting
The safety catch is located in the center of the hood.
3
Lift the hood completely: this operation
is facilitated by two gas struts keeping the hood in the fully open position.
With the ignition device in RUN position, the red symbol will display on the instrument cluster with the message indicating that the hood is open.
Closing
Lower the hood, and then gently drop it. This should secure the inclusion of both latches.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it.
WARNING! Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the lid is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Gear shifting is always active and may be performed even when one or more doors, the hood or the liftgate are open. Therefore, in these conditions, take great care to avoid moving the transmission shift lever and so accidentally engage gears.
