Maserati Ghibli 2023 Power Windows User Manual
Introduction
Power windows on the Maserati Ghibli 2023 combine convenience, functionality, and elegance. The power window system was created to offer simple window control, which improves both the driver’s and passengers’ comfort while driving. Let’s examine the main characteristics and advantages of the power windows in the 2023 Maserati Ghibli.
- One-Touch Operation: The Ghibli’s power windows can be opened and closed with just a press of a button. One push of the corresponding switch is all that is necessary to open or close the windows. You can concentrate on the road while using this one-touch operation because it is simple to use and saves time.
- Window Lockout Feature: The power window system may come with a window lockout feature to prevent unauthorized window operation. By disabling the individual window switches on the back doors with this feature, the driver can make sure that the windows can only be operated from the driver’s seat.
Power Windows
The window controls on the driver’s door panel govern all the door windows.
There are single window controls on each passenger door trim panel, which operate the corresponding window. The window controls will operate only when the ignition device is in the ACC or RUN position.
NOTE:
- The power window switches will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition device is turned to the OFF position. Opening either front door will cancel this function. The time lapse can be set. See “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information.
Frequent activations of the power windows could result in a temporary lock out of the motors. In this case, wait a moment before a new activation.
WARNING!
Improper use of the power windows and the sunroof (if equipped) can however be dangerous, even with the anti-pinch 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. Do not leave unattended children in a vehicle with a key fob inside. When getting out of the vehicle, always remove the key fob to prevent the windows being accidentally activated, posing a risk to passengers remaining onboard.
Auto-Down Function
The driver door power window switch and some model passenger door power window switches have an auto-down function.
Press the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go completely down automatically.
To open the window part way, press the window switch to the first detent and release it when you want the window to stop.
To stop the window from going all the way down during the auto-down operation, pull up on the switch briefly.
Auto-Up Function with Anti- Pinch Protection
Lift the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go all the way up automatically.
To stop the window from going all the way up during the auto-up operation, push down on the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the window switch to the first detent and release it when you want the window to stop.
NOTE:
- If the window runs into any obstacle during auto-closure, it will reverse direction and then go back down. Remove the obstacle and use the window switch again to close the window.
Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger the auto reverse function unexpectedly during auto-closure. If this happens, pull the switch lightly to the first detent and hold to close the window manually.
Frequent activations of the anti-pinch function could disable the auto-down and auto-up function of the windows. In order to re-activate this function proceed with a reset cycle as described in the next paragraph.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the area before closing the window.
Reset Auto-Up/Down
Should the auto-up/down function stop working, the window probably needs to be reset.
To reset auto-up/down, pull the window switch up to close the window
completely and push the window switch down to open the window completely.
Open the Windows with Key fob and Ignition Off
When the ignition device is in OFF position, windows can be opened by pressing the button on the key fob.
- Press the button and release it;
- Press a second time the button and keep it pressed until complete opening of the windows, if they were closed.
Rear Window and Sunshade Lockout Button
The window lockout button on the driver’s door trim panel allows to disable the window and sunshade control on the rear doors by pressing the window lockout button (setting it in the down position).
To enable the controls previously described, press the window lockout button again (setting it in the up position).
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure or a helicopter-type sound. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof in open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting.
