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

Interior Features Electric Power Outlets The vehicle is equipped with four 12
Volt (13 Amp) electric power outlets,
two available for the front seat
passengers, one for rear seat
passengers and one fitted in the trunk
compartment.
In vehicles equipped with “Smoking
Kit” the electric power outlet inside
the cupholder is replaced with a
cigarette lighter.
All power outlets are supplied only
when the engine is started or the
ignition device set to ACC or RUN .
Power outlets are protected by a fuse.
Insert a cigar lighter or accessory plug
into the power outlets to ensure
proper operation. Otherwise, check
the matching fuse integrity, see “Fuse
Replacement” in section “Maintenance
and Care” for further information.
CAUTION!
• Do not plug in accessories that
exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts.
• Power outlets are designed for
accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlets as this will damage the outlet and
blow the fuse. Damages caused by
improper use of the power outlet are
not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this
type of outlet should be inserted
into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Replacing the fuses that protect
power outlets with others of higher
amperage, there is the risk of fire.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lids when the plug is not
used and while driving the vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.
Power Outlet inside the Cupholder
To access the power outlet is inside the
cupholder beside the transmission
lever, press the cover as indicated to
open it completely. Remove the
cigarette lighter (if equipped) and use
its socket as power outlet. WARNING!
High power consumption items
plugged into this outlet for long
periods may discharge the battery
which could prevent the engine from
starting.Understanding the Vehicle

• The engine oils and fluids used
contain substances that are
dangerous to the environment. For
replacement you are advised to
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer, where all the necessary
equipment is available to dispose of
the used oil and fluids in compliance
with the regulations in force and in

Engine Coolant Level Check
Your vehicle has been equipped with
an improved engine coolant
(antifreeze) that offers high
protection against corrosion, freezing
and allows extended maintenance
intervals. To prevent reducing
extended maintenance periods, it is
important to use original engine
coolant (antifreeze) when adding
coolant throughout the life of your
vehicle.Maintenance and Care

Fuse Replacement Used Fuses Characteristics When an electrical device is not
functioning, check that the
corresponding fuse is in proper
working order (intact).
A Fuse intact
B Fuse blown
The vehicle mainly uses mini-and
maxi-fuses with blade engagement.
Besides these there are other types of
fuses provided with holes for
attaching to the cable connection
terminals.
For the replacement of these fuses
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
Replace the faulty fuse with a new
one featuring the same rating, by using appropriate forceps added in
the integrated power module and
inside the cover of the rear power
distribution center.
The color identifies the value of the
fuses in amperes which is also
reported on them.
The table shows the match between
color and amperage of mini and maxi
fuses.

• After replacing a fuse, if the fault
recurs, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Position of Fuses The fuses are located in three parts of
the vehicle, namely:
• inside the integrated power module,
on the right hand side of the engine
compartment;
• inside the rear power distribution
center, behind the battery, on the
right hand side of the trunk
compartment;Maintenance and Care

• on the fuse and relay box located in
a covered area, behind the glove
compartment on the dashboard left
side.
Integrated Power Module • To access the module it is necessary
to lift the hood (see “Hood
Operation” in section “Before
Starting”).
• To access the fuses remove the
module cover unhooking the lateral
locks as shown in the picture. The table points out the position as
featured in the figure, the type and
function of the fuses included in the
integrated power module.

protective cover of the module.
• If you need to wash the engine
compartment, do not direct the
water for too long directly on the module.
