Cargo Area

WARNING!
To help protect against personal injury,
2
passengers should 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
homologation 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 boot lid open.
Exhaust gases can enter the passenger
compartment.
The boot is the most suitable place to
load bulky and heavy objects onboard
the vehicle.
To load your vehicle properly, store
heavier items below and be sure you
distribute their weight as evenly as
possible.
Stow all loose items securely before
start driving as they could move during
the trip.
NOTE:
The rear parcel shelf is not to be
considered a support surface, except for
minimum loads (see chapter "Weights"
in section "Technical Specifications" for
further details) which if applied above
the speakers could damage the audio

The Maserati Service Network can

the items dedicated to the usage of the
boot (luggage compartment mat, ...),
available in the ""Genuine Accessories""
range.
