a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known 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

WARNING!
• Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the
front seat belt retractor assemblies
replaced by an Authorized Maserati
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
Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
• The advanced air bag system of your
vehicle is not designed to protect
adults with disabilities that requireBefore 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
Compartment
To access the power outlet inside the
cupholder beside the shift lever, press
the cover as indicated to open it
completely. Remove the cigarette
lighter and use its socket as power
outlet. WARNING!
High power consumption items
plugged into this outlet for long
periods may discharge the battery
and/or prevent the engine from
starting.Understanding the Vehicle

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.

recurs, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Position of Fuses The fuses are located in three parts of
the vehicle, namely:

• on the fuse and relay box located in
a covered area, under 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.
