Should the direction indicators flash 9
times when you activate the alarm
system, this means that one of the
doors or lids is not closed properly and
therefore is not protected by the
perimeter surveillance. Check for
correct closing of doors, rear/front lid
and close the open one, even without
deactivating the alarm system: the
direction indicators flashing once
indicate that now the door, front/rear
lids are closed properly and are
protected by the perimeter
surveillance.
WARNING: If the direction indicators
flash 9 times when the alarm system is
activated with doors, front and rear
lids properly closed, it means that the
self-diagnosis function has detected a
malfunction in the system and that
you should contact your local
Authorized Maserati Dealer to have
the system checked.
