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 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.
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. In addition, there are tether strap
anchorages behind each 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.
To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat proceed as follows.
• Secure the child seat to the
“U-shaped” lower metal rings
positioned on the rear seat.Before Starting

• Fix the top tether strap (provided
with the child seat), to the anchor
located in the panel between the
rear seatback and the rear window.
• Lift the plastic cover located behind
the seat where you want to install
the child restraint system.
• Route the top tether strap to provide
the most direct path between the
anchorage and the child restraint
system passing it over the headrest.
• Attach the hook of the top tether
strap (provided with the child
restraint system) to the anchor. • Tighten the upper strap until you
reach the tension level
recommended by the restraint
system manufacturer.
To install a child restraint system in the
center seating position route the hook
end of the tether strap between the
seatback and adjustable headrest (with
the headrest in the full up position)
then attach the hook to the anchor
located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window. 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 forBefore Starting

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.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.Before Starting

Park Assist The Park Assist (also called
“ParkSense”) system provides visual
and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front bumper
and a detected obstacle when backing
up or moving forward, e.g. during a
parking maneuver.
Besides the use of the sensors available
on the bumpers and of the rear
parking camera, the vehicle may be
equipped with surround view cameras
(optional) to assist the driver during
maneuvers on dead-ends/roads and on
intersections. For more details on this
option, see chapter "Surround View
Camera System (optional)" in this
section.
Refer to “Park Assist System Usage
Precautions” for limitations of this
system and recommendations.
Park Assist system will retain the last
system state (enabled or disabled)
from the last ignition cycle when the
ignition is changed to the RUN
position.
Park Assist system can be active only
when the shift lever is in R (Reverse) or
D (Drive).
If Park Assist is enabled at one of these
shift lever positions, the system will
remain active until the vehicle 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)Before Starting

or in D (Drive) and an obstacle has
been detected.
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.

Enabling and Disabling Park
Assist By accessing the submenu “Safety &
Driving Assistant” from MTC+ System,
the “Park Assist” can be disabled
(option “Off”). The available options
regarding the warning alerts are:
“Sound” or “Sound + Display”. Refer
to “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
The front sensors can be enabled or
disabled at any time by pressing the
button on the front dome console.
After pressing the button the
instrument cluster will display the
state of front parking sensors for
approximately five seconds. The
button LED will be on when the front
sensors are disabled. The button LED
will be off when the front sensors are
enabled. If the button is pressed and the system requires service, the LED
will blink momentarily, and then the
LED will be on.
When the shift lever is moved to R
(Reverse) or to D (Drive) at a speed of
7 mph (11 km/h) or below and the
system is disabled, the instrument
cluster will display the “PARK ASSIST
Off” message for 5 seconds until the
shift lever remains in R (Reverse) or
when the shift lever is moved in D
(Drive).
Service the Park Assist System In case of malfunction of the Park
Assist system, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single sound, once per
ignition cycle. The instrument cluster
will display a message when any of
the rear or front sensor(s) are blocked
by snow, mud, or ice and the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
The instrument cluster will display a
message when any of the rear or front
sensors are damaged and require
service.
When the shift lever is moved to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) and the system
has detected a faulted condition, the
instrument cluster will display the
corresponding message for the time
lapse the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or D
(Drive) at speeds less than 7 mph (11 km/h). Under this condition Park
Assist will not operate. See
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
If the instrument cluster displays a
message prompting you to clean the
sensors, make sure the outer surface
and the underside of the rear bumper
and/or front bumper is clean and clear
of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction and then cycle the ignition
switch. If the message continues to
appear contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
If a failure message is displayed on the
instrument cluster, contact the
Authorized Maserati Dealer .Before Starting

Cleaning the Park Assist
Sensors When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry, rough
or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with clean
water, possibly adding car shampoo.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensor area, please contact
exclusively the Authorized Maserati
Dealer . Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensors
operation. Park Assist System Usage
Precautions NOTE:
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the
performance of Park Assist.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc., must not be placed
within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
bumper while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so can result in the
system misinterpreting a close object
as a sensor problem, causing the
service Park Assist message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and
it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might only be
temporarily detected or not detected
at all. Obstacles located above or
below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using Park Assist in order to be
able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. When backing up, it is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when
using Park Assist.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the Park Assist
system. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
Park Assist Volume The volume of the acoustic signal
emitted by the front and rear parking
sensors is set to the medium level.
Three different levels of volume can be
selected via the submenu “Safety &
Driving Assistant” from the MTC+
System.
Low level is useful in certain conditions
when the parking sensor acoustic
signal keeps coming on although there
is no actual collision hazard. This may
typically occur when driving in a queueBefore Starting
