although MTC+ is always striving to
improve performance.
Which is faster, my key fob or the
MTC+ Access App?
Your key fob will lock/unlock the door
quicker, however its range is limited
and it can sometimes get misplaced or
locked in the vehicle. Your MTC+
Access App comes in handy for these
and other situations.
Will my vehicle be safe if I lose my
device?
People sometimes lose their devices,
which is why security measures have
been engineered into the MTC+
Access App. Asking for your user
name, password and MTC+ Security
PIN help to ensure that nobody can
get into your vehicle if they happen to
find your device.
Why can’t all devices use the MTC+
Access App?
The MTC+ Access App has been
designed to work on most devices
with the Apple and Android operating
systems. The capabilities of these
devices allows us to remotely
command your vehicle. Other
operating systems may be supported
in the future.
Why is the MTC+ Access App running
slow?
The MTC+ Access App relies on a
mobile network connection from your
device to send commands to your
vehicle which must have an operable
3G (data) network connection. If
either your device or your vehicle are
in an area with below average
coverage, it may take longer to log in
and send commands.
Remote Vehicle Start (if
equipped)
Description
The remote vehicle start feature
provides you with the ability to start
the engine on your vehicle, without
the keys and from virtually any
distance. Once started, the pre-set
climate controls in your vehicle can
warm-up or cool-down the interior
before you have to get in. You can
send a request to your vehicle in one
of two ways:
• Using the MTC+ Access App from a
compatible device.
• From the Maserati Owner Connect
website (www.maserati.com).
You can also send a command to
turn-off an engine that has been
remote started. After 15 minutes if
you have not entered your vehicle
with the key fob, the engine will shut
off automatically.
This remote function requires your
vehicle to be equipped with a
factory-installed Remote Start system.
If you want, you can set-up
notifications for your account to
receive an email or text (SMS) message
every time a command is sent to
remote start or cancel a remote start.

your command was sent (or not).
