2) If the CODE warning light
flashes, it means that the vehicle is
not protected by the immobilizer
device. Contact your local
Authorized Maserati Dealer
immediately to have the codes of all
the keys restored in the memory.
WARNING: Strong impact can damage
the electronic components in the key.
WARNING: Each key supplied has its
own specific code, which must be
stored in the memory of the system
control unit.

Duplicating the keys

When ordering additional keys,
remember that memorizing (up to
maximum of 7 keys) must be carried
out on all the keys, including those
already in your possession. Contact
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer
directly, bringing with you all the keys
in your possession, the Maserati CODE
system CODE CARD, the electronic
alarm system CODE CARD, a personal
ID and the identification and
registration documents proving
ownership of the vehicle. The codes of
any keys that are not available when
the new storage procedure is carried
out will be deleted from the memory
to prevent any lost or stolen keys being
used to start the vehicle.

Emergency starting

If the MASERATI CODE fails to
deactivate the engine immobilizer, the
warning light CODE will light up
with a fixed light, the OBDII
warning light will go out after four
seconds and then will come on
immediately and the engine will not
start. To start the engine, it is necessary
to follow the emergency start
procedure.
WARNING: We recommended that you
read the entire procedure before
carrying it out. If you make a mistake,
you should turn the ignition key to
STOP and repeat the operations from
step 1.
