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
To further enhance the seat belt
efficiency, the vehicle front seat belts
are equipped with ETD (Emergency
Tensioning Device) pretensioners.
These devices “detect”, by means of a
sensor, that a violent crash is occurring
and retract the belts by a few
centimeters. This ensures that the belt
properly adheres to the occupants’bodies before its restraining action
starts.
The seat belt locking indicates that the
device has activated; a small amount
of smoke may be released. The smoke
is not toxic and does not indicate the
presence of a fire.
The pretensioners are activated in the
event of an impact of a certain
severity.
The pretensioner only activates when
the seat belt is fastened.
After a pretensioner activation, the
seat belt can be unfastened as usual,
by pressing the button on the buckle.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication.
Any change to its original condition
invalidates its efficiency. If, in the
event of exceptional natural events
(e.g. floods, heavy storms, etc.), the
device has been in contact with water
and sludge, it is mandatory to replace
it.
To help ensure the best protection
from the pretensioners, wear the belt
in such a way that it fits snugly against
your chest and pelvis.
WARNING!
•The pretensioners can be deployed
only once and activate only whenthe seat belts are fastened. After
activation, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the
pretensioners replaced and for
properly discarding the old
components.
•Do not tamper with the pretensioner
components. Any operation must be
performed only by qualified and
authorized personnel. Always
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
CAUTION!
Work on the vehicle which involves,
vibrations or localized heating (over
212°F/100°C for 6 hours max.) in the
area of the pretensioners may damage
or activate them: vibrations due to
uneven road surfaces or small
obstacles, such as impacts with curbs,
do not affect the units. Please contact
anAuthorized Maserati Dealerif any
interventions must be carried out.
Load Limiting Devices
To enhance passive safety, the front
seat belt retractors are equipped with
load limiting devices which control the
seat belt reeling out so as to adjust the

Left-hand Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever on the left side
of the steering column controls the
operation of the turn signals,
headlight beam selection and
overtaking lights.
This multifunction lever also controls
the Cruise Control. See chapter "Cruise
Control" in section "Driving" for
further information.
Turn Signals
Move the left-hand multifunction lever
all the way up or down until the stop
trigger.
The left or right arrow indicator on
respectively the speedometer and
tachometer instrument cluster, flashes
to show proper operation of the front
and rear turn signal lights.To activate lane change function, tap
the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent. The turn
signals (right or left) will flash three
times then automatically turn off.
This function is useful when
overtaking or changing lanes.NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not
flash, or flashes at a fast rate, check for
a defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator on instrument cluster fails
while moving the lever, then the
indicator bulb is probably defective.
High Beams and Flashing

light switch in headlamp
or
“AUTO” position, shift the left-hand
multifunction lever onward.
A related
blue telltale will
illuminate on the tachometer.

To avoid the risk of being pinched
when closing the cover, the cable
diameter that properly fits in this area
must not exceed 0.8 in (5 mm) andmust pass as close as possible to the
side walls of the containment
compartment, avoiding the hooking
area of the handle.

• typical port impedance between
AUX-IN and AUX_REF: 13 Kohm;
• max. applicable voltage: 0.75 Vrms at
1 kHz;
• port compatible only with 3.5 mm
jack connectors (not included).
Any player with these characteristics
and analog audio output (headset
output type) can be served by the
MTC+ System. The system can
recognize the connection to a player
outlet autonomously, by enabling
access to the audio functions
connected to this source.
This
USB port can be used for data
exchange and charge of the connected
source (refer to the MTC+ guide for
further details).
Through this USB input is possible to
recharge the connected device for
about an hour from when the key in
