Finger-trap prevention device

Thanks to the anti-trapping strips, the
system is capable of detecting 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
4 "recovery" mode, which is indicated by
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
position.
If there are no system malfunctions the
window operation will return to
normal. If this is not the case, contact
the Maserati Service Network.
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 position.

Power windows

Improper use of the sunroof
can however 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 that could be dragged or hit by
it. When getting out the vehicle,
always remove the ignition key to
prevent the windows being
accidentally 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.
