which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more

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
2
53

• 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.
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 and 225 in the U.S., or CMVSS 213
and 210.2 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. 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
54

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 of
the passenger 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 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 the
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 toBefore Starting

56

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

57

To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat facing-backwards
proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the release lever on
the back of child seat is in the
standby position (retracted).
• Align the anchoring points on the
child seat to the "U" lower metal
rings on the vehicle seat then push
the child seat backward until you
hear it click and lock into place.
• Check that the child seat is correctly
locked by trying to move it with
strength. The incorporated safety
mechanisms prevent the child seat
from being improperly fitted if only
one of the attachment fittings is
locked.
The child must then be secured by the
child seat harness. For installation facing-forward of a
child seat to the "U" lower metal rings
of the vehicle rear seat, proceed as
indicated for facing-backwards child
seat.
Proceed to secure the upper belt, also
called Top Tether (provided with the
child seat), to the attachments located
behind the headrests.
• Lift the plastic cover fitted behind
the seat where you want to install
the child restraint system. • Route the seat belt to provide the
most direct path between the
anchorage and the child restraint
system passing it into gap between
seatback and headrest.
• Attach the hook of the top tether
strap (provided with the child
restraint system) to the anchor.
• Tighten upper strap until you reach
the tension level recommended by
the restraint system manufacturer.Before Starting
2
58

NOTE:
For any further details on installation
and/or use, refer to the instructions
provided with the child seat.
WARNING!
• Fit the child seat when the car is
stationary. The child seat is correctly
fixed to the anchorages when
hearing a click. Follow the
instructions for assembly,
disassembly and positioning that
the manufacturer must supply with
the child restraint system.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchor position directly
behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap. NOTE:
When
using a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint system, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for occupant
restraints are stowed and out of reach
of children.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child
restraint system to the LATCH
anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child
could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint system.
• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle. Important Safety Notice for
Transporting Children • Install the child seat on the rear seat
as this is the safest position in case of
collisions.
• Keep the instructions in the vehicle
together with the documents and
this owner’s manual. Do not use a
child restraint system which does not
contain instructions for use.
• Every child has to use one child
restraint system; never carry two
children using only one child seat.
• If using the vehicle seat belt, always
check that the belt does not restrain
the child's throat.
• Firmly pull the seat belt to check
that it is correctly buckled.
• Never allow a child to seat
improperly or to unbuckle the seat
belt while driving.
• Never allow a child to wear the
shoulder portion of the belt under
the arms or behind the back.
• Never carry children on your lap, not
even newborns. No one can restrain
a child in the event of an accident.
• In case of accident, replace the child
seat with a new one.Before Starting

Transporting Pets Air bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet will be thrown about and possibly
injured, or injure a passenger during
panic braking or in an accident.
Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by vehicle seat belts.
Park Assist To assist the driver during parking
maneuvers, the vehicle is equipped
with four sensors housed in the rear
bumper and four sensors in the front
bumper.
Besides the use of the sensors available
on the bumpers, the vehicle is also
equipped with a rear parking camera. For more details, see chapter "Rear
Parking Camera" in this section.
During parking maneuvers, the
parking sensors provide the driver with
information on the distance between
obstacles found behind and in front of
the vehicle. The information about the
obstacle distance is given to the driver
by means of acoustic and visual signals.
The acoustic signals generated by the
system add to the driver’s field of
vision, allowing him to avoid hitting
any obstacles during maneuvers.
WARNING!
• However, the driver remains
responsible during parking
maneuvers and in other potentially
dangerous situations. The system
has actually been designed only as a
supplementary aid during parking
maneuvers, since it allows the driver
to detect obstacles outside his field
of vision.
• Extreme caution is required in case
of obstacles whose shape and
volume are susceptible to be
incorrectly detected. When starting
the vehicle after parking, these
obstacles might not be detected if
they are already close to the bumper.Before Starting
