Vehicle Security Alarm - Maserati Ghibli 2016 Owner's Manual

Before Starting

Vehicle Security Alarm

The vehicle security alarm monitors the
vehicle doors and trunk lid for
unauthorized entry and the
START/STOP button for unauthorized
2
operations.
The system also includes a dual
function anti-intrusion sensor and
vehicle anti-lift sensor. The
anti-intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle
anti-lift sensor monitors the vehicle for
any lifting or tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc). A
siren with battery backup which senses
interruptions of power and
communications is also included.
While the vehicle security alarm is
enabled, interior door locks switches,
trunk lid and fuel filler door release
are disabled. If something triggers the
alarm, the vehicle security alarm will
provide the following audible and
visible signals: intermittent buzzer,
park lights and/or turn signals and the
vehicle security light on the dashboard
will flash.
This light will fast flash for
approximately 15 seconds, when the
vehicle security alarm is being armed,
and will then flash slowly until the
vehicle is disarmed.
