2019 MASERATI GHIBLI seats

NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed.
In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information
if they have access to vehicle or the
EDR. Child Restraint Systems NOTE:
A child restraint system can help
protect a child in a vehicle so ensure
that the child restraint selected has a
certification label applicable to FMVSS
213 in the U.S., or CMVSS 213 in
Canada.
Everyone in your vehicle must be
buckled up all the time, including
babies and children. Every state in the
United States and all Canadian
provinces require that small children
ride in proper restraint systems. Please
be reminded that you can be
prosecuted for ignoring this law.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear seat,
if available. According to crash
statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child,
even a baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required
to hold even an infant on your lap
could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others
could be badly injured or killed. Any
child riding in your vehicle should
always be in a proper restraint system
suitable for the child’s size.
There are different sizes and types of
restraint
systems for children from
newborn size to the child almost large
enough for an adult safety belt.
Always refer to the manual provided
with child seat to ensure it is the
proper type according the travelling
child. Use the restraint system that is
correct for your child.
Infants and Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that
children ride rearwardfacing in the
vehicle until they are two years old or
until they reach either the height or
weight limit of their rear facing child
seat.
Two types of child restraint systems
can be used rearward-facing: infant
carriers and convertible child seats.
The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier.Before Starting
2
72

Convertible child seats can be used
either rearward-facing or
forward-facing in the vehicle.
Convertible child seats often have a
higher weight limit in the
rearward-facing direction than infant
carriers do, so they can be used
rearward-facing by children who have
outgrown their infant carrier but are
still younger than at least two years
old.
Children should remain rearward-
facing until they reach the highest
weight or height allowed by their
child seat. Both types of child restraint
systems are fixed to the car by the
lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child
restraint anchor system. Refer to
“Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH)” in this section.
WARNING!
• Never place a rear facing infant seat
in front of an air bag. A deploying
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
can cause death or serious injury to
a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rearward
facing infant seat. • Only use a rearward-facing child
restraint in a vehicle with a rear
seat.
Older Children and Child
Restraints Children who are two years old or
who have outgrown their rear-facing
child seat can ride forward-facing in
the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats
and convertible child seats used in the
forward-facing direction are for
children who are over two years old or
who have outgrown the rear-facing
weight or height limit of their
rear-facing child seat.
Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a
harness for as long as possible, up to
the highest weight or height allowed
by the child seat. These child seats are
also fixed to the car by the
lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child
restraint anchorage system. Refer to
“Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH)” in this section.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-
positioning booster seat until the
vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the
back is against the seatback, they
should use a belt-positioning booster
seat.
The child and belt-positioning booster
seat are fixed to the car by the
lap/shoulder belt.
Children Too Large for Booster
Seats Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback
should use the lap/shoulder belt in a
rear seat.
• Make sure that the child is upright in
the seat.
• The lap portion should be low on
the hips and as snug as possible.
• Check belt fit periodically. A child’s
squirming or slouching can move the
belt out of position.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face
or neck, move the child closer to the
center of the vehicle. Never allow a
child to put the shoulder belt under
an arm or behind their back.Before Starting

WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint.
It could come loose in a collision. The
child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat. A
rearward-facing child restraint in the
front seat may be struck by a
deploying passenger air bag, which
may cause severe or fatal injury to
the infant. Here are some tips on getting
the most out of your child
restraint • Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label
certifying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. Maserati also
recommends that you make sure that
you can install the child restraint in
the vehicle where you will use it
before you buy it.
• The restraint system must be
appropriate for your child’s weight
and height.
• Check the label on the restraint
system for weight and height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the restraint system.
• If installed improperly, it may not
work when needed.
• Fit the child into the seat according
to the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions.
WARNING!
When your child restraint system is
not in use, secure it in the vehicle with
the seat belt or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it could strike the occupants or
seatbacks and cause serious personal
injury.
Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt.
All the passenger seat belts are
equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) to secure child
protection through a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion
of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint seat avoiding to use a locking
clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise if
the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt to
retract subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see “Using Seat
Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) Mode” in “Occupants Restraint
Systems” in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of the
retractor leading it through the belt
path of the protection device. Slide theBefore Starting

latch into the buckle until it clicks,
then remove the entire safety belt
from the retractor in order to
rewound. While rewinding a click will
indicate the safety belt is now in
Automatic Locking mode.
Exert then a traction on the exceeded
lap section of the belt in order to
tighten it around the child restraint
seat. All seat belts will loosen over
time, it is therefore necessary to check
them periodically and set them
properly.
Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children (LATCH) Your vehicle's rear outboard seats are
all equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH.
The LATCH system allows the child
restraint systems to be fixed without
using the vehicle's seat belts, instead
fixing the child restraint system to the
vehicle structure, using lower
anchorages A and upper tether strap
B . LATCH-Compatible child restraint
systems are now available. You should
never install LATCH child seats so that
two seats share a common lower
anchorage.
If your child restraints are not
LATCH-Compatible, install the
restraints using the vehicle's seat belts. Installing a LATCH- Compatible Child
Restraint System
The lower LATCH anchorages are
“U-shaped” metal rings located on the
rear seat where the cushion meets the
seatback just below the symbol shown
in the picture, but are not visible. You
will find them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether strap
anchorages behind each rear seat.
NOTE:
The top tether strap anchorage
behind the central rear seat should be
used to secure a child restraint system
with the vehicle's seat belts.Before Starting

cameras are unable to view every
obstacle or object in your drive path.
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle
must be driven slowly when using
the camera system with surround
view, to be able to stop in time when
an obstacle is seen. It is
recommended that the driver looks
frequently over his/her shoulder
when using this system.
NOTE:
If
snow , ice, mud, or any other
substance builds up on the camera
lens, clean the lens, rinse with water,
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover
the lens.
