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 the Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
• The 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 are or another occupant is an
adult with a medical condition that requires air bag deactivation, please
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
• 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 5 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;Before Starting

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.
NOTE:
• You can install a standard and a
LATCH system child seat at the same
time (one in each outer rear seat).
• No more than two standard child
seats or two LATCH system type child
seats can be installed on the rear
seats.
• Only standard type child seats can be
mounted on the front passenger
seat.
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.
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions provided
with the child restraint system.
The lower Isofix anchorages are “U”
metal rings located on the rear seat in the area between cushion and
seatback, but are not visible. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether strap
anchorages behind every rear seat.
The anchorages are located in the
panel between the rear seatback and
the rear window and are under a
plastic cover (indicated in the figure)
with the anchorage symbol on it.Before Starting

Safety Tips Transporting Passengers WARNING!
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury.
• Never ride in a cargo area, inside of
a vehicle.
• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
trunk lid open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide
entry into the passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system.
Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the Authorized Maserati
Dealer inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment.Before Starting

Vehicle Safety Checks Seat Belts
• Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
• If the belt has been sharply pulled,
for example as the result of an accident, the safety belt, together
with the anchoring devices, the
anchoring device mounting screws
and the pretensioner must be
completely replaced. Even if the belt
does not present any exterior signs
of wear or damage, it may have lost
its restraining properties.

Adjustable and fixed air vents allow
passengers to achieve the optimal
comfort conditions.
Fixed Air Vents • The fixed vents, positioned on the
upper part of the dashboard,
beneath the windshield are meant to
guarantee the defogging and
defrosting of the windshield and the
side windows. • The fixed vents under the dashboard
aim to ventilate the lower part of the
passenger compartment.
Adjustable Air Vents • The adjustable vents are located at
the center and at the side ends of
the dashboard. They have the
purpose of ventilating the upper part
of the passenger compartment.
There are also adjustable vents
placed at the rear end of the central
console. These vents can be adjusted
in vertical and horizontal direction,
by operating on the central handle 1 ,
indicated in the following pictures.
The rotary control 2 , located under
each vent, allows to partialize the air
flow. NOTE:
In order not to obstruct the air
conditioning inlet, the defrosting or
the defogging function of the glass
surfaces, avoid covering vents with
clothing or other items.Understanding the Vehicle

The time can be visualized also on the
MTC+ status bar and on the
instrument cluster display (see “MTC+
Settings” in this section).
Clock lighting is aligned with the
backlighting status of the MTC+
display (refer to “MTC + Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). Air Conditioning Controls The vehicle is equipped with an
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system that allows to adjust separately
the air temperature and the airflow
distribution in the left and in the right
zone of the passenger compartment,
according to the requests of the driver
and the front passenger.
A humidity sensor, positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rearview mirror, allows the A/C
system to prevent/ eliminate fogging
of the windshield and side windows.
The best efficacy in preventing
fogging is obtained by selecting the
AUTO function, described later.
A dual zone solar sensor, positioned on
the center of the dashboard upper
surface, helps to achieve the best
comfort in presence of solar radiation.
CAUTION!
To ensure proper functioning of the solar
sensor, do not apply adhesive parking
stickers, etc. in the checking area
between the sensor and the windshield.
Therefore, keep the windshield and the
sensor clean to prevent accumulation of
dust or other impurities.Dashboard Instruments and Controls
