Dealer. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) system
serviced as well.
• Have the air bag checked, serviced
and replaced only by an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Air Bag System Maintenance
WARNING!
• Modifications to any part of the air
bag system could cause it to fail;
thus you could be injured if the air
bag system is not there to protect
you. Do not modify the components
or wiring. Do not modify the front
bumper, vehicle body structure, or
add aftermarket side steps or
running boards.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system without
the necessary know-how.
• Do not attempt to modify any part
of your air bag system. The air bag
may inflate accidentally or may not
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

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 in the U.S., or CMVSS 213 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 or killed. 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. Convertible child seats can be used
either rearward-facing or
forward-facing in the rear seat of 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 in the rear
seat area 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
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 childBefore Starting

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 rear seat of the vehicle in a proper
child restraint. 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 located in
the rear seat area. 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. NOTE:

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.Before Starting

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 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 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

located in the rear part of the
backrest.
• Lift the headrest.
• Route the top tether to provide the
most direct path between the
anchorage behind the backrest and
the child restraint system passing it
between the slide rods of the
headrest.
• Tighten upper strap until you reach
the tension level recommended by
the restraint system manufacturer.
• Fully lower the headrest.
NOTE:
For any further details on installation
and/or use of child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided with
the child seat. WARNING!
• A child seat should be fitted only
when the car is stationary. 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:
• Ensure
that the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the
strap.
• 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.Before Starting

speed is increased to approximately
7.5 mph (12 km/h) or above. The
system will become active again if the
vehicle speed is decreased to speeds
less than approximately 6.2 mph
(10 km/h).
Park Assist Sensors The four Park Assist sensors, located in
the rear bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the
sensors' field of view. The sensors can
detect obstacles up to approximately
78 in (200 cm) from the rear bumper in
the horizontal direction, depending on
the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle. The six Park Assist sensors, located in
the front bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the
sensors' field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles up to
a distance of approximately 50 in (120
cm) from the front bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the
location, type and orientation of the
obstacle. Park Assist Warning Messages
Display The Park Assist Warning screen will
only be displayed if “Sound + Display”
is selected from the MTC+ System.
Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
The Park Assist Warning screen is
located on the instrument cluster
display.
It provides visual warnings to indicate
the distance between the rear bumper
and/or front bumper and the detected
obstacle.
The warning display will turn on
indicating the system status (ready or
off) when the vehicle is in R (Reverse)
or in D (Drive) and an obstacle has
been detected.GTS and TROFEO Versions GTS and TROFEO VersionsBefore Starting

The detection area in front of the
vehicle is divided into two parts with
four arcs while the two detection
areas behind the car into five arcs.
The system will indicate a detected
obstacle by displaying arcs with fixed
or flashing light and a characteristic
sound according to the obstacle
distance. The color indicates the
distance and the arc indicates the
position of the detected obstacle. The
green color of the outer arc indicates
the maximum distance, the amber
color of the middle arcs indicates the
medium distance, while the red color
of the nearest arc indicates the
minimum distance.
As the vehicle moves closer to the
object, the instrument cluster will
display the arc moving towards the
vehicle and the sound tone will
change from single to slow, to fast
and to continuous. The vehicle is close to the obstacle
when the instrument cluster displays
one flashing red arc only, combined
with a continuous sound.
The following charts show the
warning alert visualization when the
system is detecting an obstacle.
