vehicleWarnings when Driving Your driving skills will improve with
experience, but be especially careful at
the beginning. Always comply with
local traffic regulations wherever you
drive.
This vehicle is also suitable for off-road
use, using the dedicated controls and
functions to obtain the optimum
balance to safely face the situations
that this kind of route may pose.
We recommend you to start gradually
in order to acquire the necessary
expertise and the perfect control of
the vehicle. Follow the indications
contained in chapter "Off-road Drive"
in section “Driving” for information
concerning the off-road use of the
vehicle.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or a
collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive
speed or in an altered state or while
intoxicated may result in loss of
control, going off the road, or
overturning. In all these situations a
collision with other vehicles or objects
is more likely to happen with the risk
to cause an accident that may lead to
serious injury.Introduction

In case of an accident, failure to use
seat belts causes the driver and
passengers a greater risk of injury or
death.
This Owner's Manual contains
warnings against operating procedures
that could result in a collision or injury
or damage to the environment. It also
contains cautions against procedures
that could damage the vehicle. If you
do not read this manual in its entirety,
you may miss important information.
Consider carefully all warnings and
cautions.
Important information may be missed
for not reading this manual in its
entirely. Consider carefully all
warnings and cautions.
WARNING!
• It is the driver’s responsibility to
operate the vehicle in a safe way: if
you are distracted while driving you
can lose control and cause serious
accidents.
• Maserati strongly recommends you
use particular care when operating
the features and tools that may
distract you.
• Mobile phones, PC, portable audio
device or other features operated while the vehicle is moving can be
very dangerous and can cause
serious accidents, and in some states
is against the law.
• It is very dangerous to send text
messages while driving, do so only
when the vehicle is not moving.
• In some Countries/States the use of
mobile phones when driving is
forbidden: it is the driver’s sole
responsibility to respect local
regulations.
• ROLL-OVER WARNING Utility vehicles
have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
This vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and a higher center of
gravity than many passenger
vehicles. It is capable of performing
better in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Driven in an unsafe
manner, all vehicles can go out of
control. Because of the higher center
of gravity, if this vehicle is out of
control it may roll over while some
other vehicles may not. Do not
attempt sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers, or other unsafe driving
actions that can cause loss of vehicle
control. Failure to operate this
vehicle safely may result in a
collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.
Failure to use the driver and
passenger seat belts provided is a
major cause of severe or fatal injury.
In fact, the U.S. government notes
that the universal use of existing
seat belts could cut the highway
death toll by 10,000 or more each
year and could reduce disabling
injuries by two million annually. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Always
buckle up.
CAUTION!
If battery charge is too low, proper
function of some electric/electronic
components may not be guaranteed. It
is necessary to recharge the battery in
order to allow all vehicle’s components
and systems to function correctly.Introduction
