Power windows
Finger-trap prevention device
The system is designed to detect the
presence of an obstacle, during the
window's upwards stroke,
consequently interrupting the
upwards travel and reversing it
immediately.
If the finger-trap prevention function
is activated 5 times within a minute,
the system automatically enters the
"recovery" mode, which is indicated by
4
the window moving upwards in a
jogging motion. To restore normal
operation, press the control once
again or turn the key to the STOP
position and subsequently to the MAR
(ON) position.
If there are no system malfunctions the
window operation will return to
normal. If this is not the case, contact
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer.
When the system detects a fault, the
"
" symbol appears on the
instrument panel display, accompanied
by a failure message.
It can only be operated with the
ignition key in the MAR (ON) position.

Power windows
Improper use of the power
windows can nevertheless be
dangerous, even if the vehicle
is equipped with the finger-trap
prevention system. Before and during
activation of the power window,
always check that the passengers are
not exposed to the risk of injury both
by the moving window and by
personal objects dragged or hit by it.
When you get out of the vehicle,
always remove the ignition key to
prevent the windows from
accidentally being activated posing a
risk to passengers remaining onboard.
Operation in manual and
automatic modes
The front and rear power windows can
be operated both automatically
(opening and closing) and manually.
The operation mode is selected
according to the length of the power
window's operation impulse.
If the button is kept pressed down or
pulled up, the automatic operation is
activated, upwards or downwards,
respectively. The window stops when it
reaches the stroke end or if the button
is pushed again.
A short impulse causes a small
movement of the window, which stops
when the button is released.
