Cargo Area
WARNING!
To help protect against personal
injury, passengers should not be
seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load
carrying purposes only, not for
passengers, who should sit in seats
and use seat belts.
Vehicle Load Carrying Capacity
The load carrying capacity of your
vehicle is shown on the vehicle
identification label positioned on the
rear driver door's ledge.
The information indicated on the label
concerns passengers and luggage
loading operations.
Do not exceed the specified Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR),
both front and rear.
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, and cargo.
The total load must be limited so that
you do not exceed the GVWR
indicated on the label.
WARNING!
• Improper weight distribution can
have an adverse effect on the way
the vehicle steers, handles and the
way the brakes operate.
• Never drive with the liftgate open.
Exhaust gases can enter the
passenger compartment.
• Do not arrange any luggage on
cargo area cover. In said position
luggage could not only impair
driver's view but also, in case of
collision or unexpected stop, it could
cause injury to all occupants.
The boot is the most suitable place to
load bulky and heavy objects onboard
the vehicle. The maximum allowable
load on the floor of the boot is 200 kg
(440 lb).
To load your vehicle properly, store
heavier items below and be sure you
distribute their weight as evenly as
possible.
Stow all loose items securely before
start driving as they could move
during the trip.
To separate boot from passenger
compartment, the vehicle is equipped
with a rigid horizontal panel, fitted
behind the rear seat backrest. When
vehicle is at a standstill, cargo area
cover can withstand a maximum static
load of 120 kg (260 lb).
Apart from cargo area cover, the
vehicle can be also equipped with a
vertical rolling Cargo Net, to be used
to separate the cargo area from the
passenger area.
The Maserati Service Network can
provide you with any information
about the items dedicated to the
usage of the boot (luggage
compartment mat, net, foldable
box,..), available in the "Genuine
Accessories" range.
