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 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.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 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 theBefore Starting
2
76

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
2
77

• 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
2
78

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

The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor
mats included in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the
size of the pedal area and interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
