• All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
• The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as
possible to allow the Advanced
Front Air Bags room to inflate.
• Do not lean against the door or
window. Your vehicle has
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB),
and if deployment occurs, the SABIC
and SAB air bags will inflate
forcefully into the space between
you and the door.
• If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to
accommodate a disabled person,
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could
lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The air bags work with
your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you
have air bags. • In a collision, you and your
passengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not properly
buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Always be sure
you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Occupants, including the driver,
should always wear their seat belts
whether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
• Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause an accident that
includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own
street.
Statistics report that seat belts save
lives
and help reduce the seriousness
of injuries in an accident. Some of the
worst injuries happen when people are
thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts
reduce the possibility of ejection and
the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Three-Point Seat Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with combination lap and
shoulder belts.
The belt retractor is designed to lock
during very sudden stops or impacts.
This feature allows the shoulder part
of the belt to move freely with you
under normal conditions, conforming
to the body of the occupants.
However, in an accident, the belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking
the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the car also observe the
local regulations concerning the use of
seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before starting the vehicle.
Seat belts are designed to be used by
persons whose physical characteristics
(age, height, weight) are provided for
by established legislation in each
country. Anyone who does comply
with these provisions may not travel in
the front passenger seat. This also
applies to children. Their heads are
proportionally heavier and larger than
those of adults, while their bones andBefore Starting

should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
Push the indicated button above the
shoulder belt guide to release the
anchorage, then move the belt slider
up or down to the fixed position that
fits you best.
WARNING!
After the adjustment, always check
that the slider to which the oscillating
ring is fixed, is locked into one of the
positions provided. With the handgrip
released, push again downward to
allow the anchoring device to click
into place, in the event that it has not
been released in one of the positions
provided.
When you release the anchorage try
to
move the
belt slider up and down to make sure that it is locked in
position.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedure to
untwist a twisted three point belt.
• Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
• At about 0.5 to 1 ft (15 to 30 cm)
above the latch plate, grasp and
twist the belt 180 degrees to create
a fold that begins immediately
above the latch plate.
• Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded belt. The folded belt must
enter the slot at the top of the latch
plate.
• Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded belt.
Passengers Seat Belts All passengers seat belts are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR) and can be used to secure a
child restraint system. For additional
information, see “Installing Child
Restraint Systems using the Vehicle
Seat Belt equipped with ALR” under
“Child Restraint Systems” in this
section. If the passenger seat position should
not be used to accommodate a child
restraint system, only pull the belt out
far enough to comfortably wrap
around the occupant so as to not
activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. In this case,
allow the belt to retract completely
and then carefully pull out only the
amount of belt necessary to
comfortably wrap around the seat
occupant.
Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a "click".
WARNING!
• Remember that, in the event of a
violent impact, the passengers in the
rear seats who are not wearing the
seat belts are not only subject to
personal injury but also represent a
danger for passengers sitting in the
front seats.
• Always fasten the seat belts.
• Traveling without the seat belts
fastened significantly increases the
risk of serious injury in the event of
a collision, even with the air bags.

(Continued)
• In the event of a collision, the seat
belts help reduce the possibility of
the vehicle’s occupants being thrown
against the structures of the
passenger compartment or out of
the vehicle.
• The air bags are designed to work
together with the seat belts, not to
substitute them. The front air bags
only deploy in the event of certain
head-on collisions of sufficient
intensity. They may not be activated
if the vehicle rolls over, or in the
event of rear bumps or minor frontal
collisions, or non-frontal collisions.
Using Seat Belt in Automatic
Locking Retractor Mode (ALR) Use the seat belt automatic locking
mode anytime a child safety seat is
installed in a seating position that has
a belt with this feature.
Children under 5 ft (1.50 m) in height,
should be properly buckled up in a
child restraint system.
Automatic Locking Mode Setting
• Buckle the lap and shoulder belt.
• Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire belt is
extracted. • Allow the belt to retract. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt
is now in the automatic locking
mode.
Automatic Locking Mode Unsetting
Unbuckle the three point seat belt and
allow it to retract completely to
disengage the automatic locking mode
and activate the vehicle emergency
locking mode.
WARNING!
• The belt and retractor assembly must
be checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer and must be
replaced if the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) feature or any other
seat belt function is not working
properly.
• Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase the
risk of injury in collisions.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The car is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, that reduce slack in
the belts in the event of a severe
frontal impact. This guarantees the
perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupants bodies before the
restraining action begins.
This car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner in the kick plate area. Its
activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable and
curling of its protective sheath.
Pretensioners work for all size
occupant restraint systems, including
the child restraint systems.
NOTE:
To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat
belt tight to the chest and pelvis.
Pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). A
pretensioner may be used only once
because it is a pyrotechnic device.
Pretensioners do not require any
maintenance or lubrication: anyBefore Starting

will determine whether the enhanced
accident response system will have to
perform the following functions:
• cut off fuel to the engine;
• turn hazard lights and interior lights
on as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition switch is turned
off;
• unlock the doors automatically;
• disconnect the battery with a
pyrotechnic charge.
Air Bag Deployment Result
The advanced front air bags are
designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
If you do have a collision which
deploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
• The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags
deploy and unfold.
• As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of
the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag
inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning. Do not drive your vehicle
after the air bags have deployed. If
you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Air bag inflation releases a small
amount of powder. This powder is not
harmful to the environment.

• 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 require
deactivation of the passenger or
driver air bag.
• If you or another occupant is an
adult with a medical condition that
requires air bag deactivation, please
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer. For further information on
disabled driver or passengers see
http://www.safercar.gov.
• As long as the air bag is activated,
persons with disabilities are advised
not to travel in the front seat in
order to avoid the risk of serious
injuries or death, even in minor crashes.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
have performed.
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• how various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
• whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• how far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and
• how fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.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
