Remote Start System ( ) - Maserati Ghibli Owner's Manual

Starting and Driving
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P
(Park) position, as it could move.
NOTE:
If the ignition device 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 device will switch to OFF
position.
Engine Turn Off when in Automatic
Start&Stop
When the engine has been turned off
5
by the Start&Stop system, press and
release the START/STOP button. The
ignition device will return to the OFF
position and the vehicle is off.
"Panic Stop" Strategy
In panic conditions, if driver stops
engine in any non-standard manner
while driving at a speed over 8 km/h (5
mph), the "Panic Stop" strategy can
manage the situation by checking
gearchange condition upon engine
cutting, driver's action on brakes,
road condition (flat or slope) so as to
set gearchange to the most suitable
condition.

Remote Start System ( )

This system enables the key fob
to start the engine conveniently
from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a
range of approximately 91 m (300 ft).
Obstructions between the vehicle and
the key fob may reduce this range.
How to use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must
be met before the engine will remote
start:
• System not disabled from previous
remote start event.
• Vehicle theft alarm not active.
• Doors closed.
• Hood closed.
• Boot lid closed.
• Hazard lights switched off.
• Brake pedal not pressed by any
passenger remained in the vehicle.
• Battery at an acceptable charge level.
• The shift lever is in P (Park) position.
• The vehicle transmission is in
automatic mode.
• The remote start has not been
activated yet two consecutive times.
If EPB (Electric Parking Brake) is not
inserted, at key-off in some conditions
the remote start system may not allow
engine to start. We suggest to set
"Auto Apply On" function through the
switch on the right-side of the steering
wheel (refer to "Parking Brake" in this
section).
NOTE:
For MHEV version only, if "Auto Apply
On" mode is not set on the EPB, the
Remote Start does not work.
WARNING!
•
Do not start or run an engine
in a closed garage or confined
area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odourless
and colourless.
•
Keep key fobs away from children.
Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or
other controls could cause serious
injury or death.
