latches.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
• Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the lid
is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
• Gear shifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the hood or the trunk
lid are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the transmission shift lever
and so accidentally engage gears.Occupants Restraint
Systems The listed occupants restraint systems
are some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
and shoulder belts) for the driver and
all passengers.
• Advanced front air bags for driver
and passenger.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and
passengers seated next to a window.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side air
bags.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate dual
pretensioners that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an impact.
• All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat.Before Starting

neck injury. A belt worn under the
arm can also cause internal injuries.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and
lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. To fasten the lap belt
pull slightly up the diagonal portion
of the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in an accident.
WARNING!
• A lap belt worn too high can
increase the risk of internal injury in
an accident. The belt forces won't
impact on the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen.
Always wear the lap belt as low as
possible and keep it comfortable.
• A twisted belt will not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt is
straight. If you can't straighten a
belt in your vehicle, take it to a
Service Center immediately.
• Do not use devices (clips, fastenings
etc.) that prevent the seat belts from
laying close to the occupants bodies. • Never carry children on a passenger’s
lap.
• Position the shoulder belt on your
chest
so that
it is comfortable and
not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
• To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is
rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could break in an
accident and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt/retractor assemblies
must be replaced by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent
retractor, torn belt, etc.). Three-Point Seat Belt Height
Adjustment
WARNING!
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly
could make your injuries in a
collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt.
Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep
your passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if
any slack so that it is comfortable
and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
• Always make all seat belt height
adjustments when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster
for the driver and front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The beltBefore Starting

changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must be
replaced.
WARNING!
It is strictly forbidden to remove or
tamper with the pretensioner
components. Any service intervention
must be carried out only by qualified
and authorized personnel. Always
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
CAUTION!
Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localized heating (over
212°F/100°C for a maximum of 6 hours
max.) in the area around the
pretensioners may damage or deploy
them erroneously. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by
uneven road surfaces or low obstacles.
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer for any intervention that may
be required. Enhanced Seat Belt Use
Reminder System (BeltAlert ®
)BeltAlert ®
is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
to fasten their seat belts.
The feature activates with engine
running. If the driver or front seat
passenger is unbelted, the seat belt
reminder light
and the related
message will turn on in the instrument
cluster. Message remains on for 5
seconds.
The BeltAlert ®
warning sequence
begins after the vehicle speed is over
5 mph (8 km/h) for more than 19
seconds, by blinking the seat belt
reminder light
and message and by
sounding an intermittent chime.
Once the sequence starts, it will
continue for the entire duration. After
the sequence completes, the seat belt
reminder light
remains illuminated until the respective seat belts are
fastened and the message remains on
for 5 seconds.
If the opened front door on the driver
or passenger side is closed and the
occupant presence sensor detects a
status change from occupant not
present to occupant present the
system will repeat the warning
sequence.
The driver should instruct all other
occupants to fasten their seat belts.
If a front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert ®
will
provide both audio and visual
notification on the instrument cluster.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert ®
is
not active when the front passenger
seat is not occupied. BeltAlert ®
may
be triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat.
It is recommended to restrain pets in
the rear seat, in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and properly stow cargo.
