function properly if modifications
are made. Take your vehicle to an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for any
air bag system service. If your seat
including your trim cover and
cushion needs to be serviced in any
way (including removal or
loosening/tightening of seat
attachment bolts), take the vehicle
to an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
• Only Maserati manufacturer
approved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify the
air bag system for persons with
disabilities, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
• If the speedometer, Rev Counter, or
any engine related gauges are not
working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be
disabled. The air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protection.
Promptly check the fuse block for
blown fuses. To identify the air bag
fuse see “Fuse Replacement” in
section "Maintenance and Care". See
an Authorized Maserati Dealer if the
fuse does not fix the problem. Transport of persons with
disability If it is necessary to modify the
advanced air bag system of your
vehicle to accommodate a person with
disabilities, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
• The advanced air bag system of your
vehicle is not designed to protect
adults with disabilities that require
deactivation of the passenger or
driver air bag.
• If you or another occupant is an
adult with a medical condition that
requires air bag deactivation, please
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer. For further information on
disabled driver or passengers see
http://www.safercar.gov.
• As long as the air bag is activated,
persons with disabilities are advised
not to travel in the front seat in
order to avoid the risk of serious
injuries or death, even in minor
crashes. Event Data Recorder (EDR) This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
have performed.
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• how various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
• whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• how far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and
• how fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.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
