Keys
The Maserati CODE system
In order to help increase protection
against theft, the vehicle is equipped
with an electronic engine immobilizer
system (Maserati CODE), which is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
Each ignition key contains an
electronic device which transmits a
code signal to the Maserati CODE
control unit, and engine ignition
is enabled only if the key code is
acknowledged by the system.
Two keys are supplied with the
vehicle.
The key is used for:
- starting the engine
- activating the central door locking
system
- deactivating/activating the
passenger airbag (on vehicles
equipped with manual deactivation
system)
- opening the luggage compartment
lid electrically
- activating/deactivating the alarm
system
- locking/unlocking the glove
compartment.
Operation
Each time the ignition key is removed
from the
STOP (OFF) position, the
protection system will activate the
engine immobilizer.
When the key is turned to
MAR (ON) ,
upon engine start-up:
1) If the code is acknowledged, the
CODE warning light
on the
instrument panel will turn off within
a second, while the OBDII warning
light
, once the ECU diagnosis
cycle has been completed, will turn
off after about 18 seconds. If these
conditions are met, the protection
system recognizes the key code and
deactivates the engine immobilizer.
Turn the key to start the engine.
2) If the CODE warning light stays
on and the OBDII lamp , goes off
after 18 seconds and then comes on
again immediately, the code is not
recognized. If this occurs, turn the
key to
STOP (OFF) and then back to
MAR (ON). If the immobilizer stays
on, try with the other keys. If you
still cannot start the engine, try the
emergency start procedure (see on
page 174) and contact your local
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
When driving with the ignition key in
the
MAR (ON) position:
1) If the CODE warning light
illuminates, it means that the system
is performing a self-diagnostic
cycle. At the first stop, you can
test the system: turn the ignition
key to
STOP (OFF) the engine and
then back to MAR (ON) . The CODE
warning light will come on and
should turn off in approximately
one second. If the warning light
stays on, repeat the procedure
described previously leaving the
key at
STOP (OFF) for more that 30
seconds. If the malfunction persists,
contact your local
Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
