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 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, all the seat
belt retractors are equipped with load
limiting devices which control the seat
belt reeling out so as to adjust the

Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
DRL are normally enabled. Under
special conditions, with light switch in
andposition, LED headlight
can be turned on to full power (DRL),
low power (position lights) or off.
Status change of these lights is
explained below.
Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights
The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
In addition, the headlights are
equipped with an ALC system
(Adaptive Light Control).
This system combines the light beam
with the steering angle to assure
better visibility of the road surface
when driving in a curve, steering or in
the event of road deviations.
The advantages offered by improved
lighting system are perceived
especially in case of bad weather, fog
and/or insufficient road indications
providing broader illumination of the
side zones, which are normally left in
the dark, and for highway driving (see
comparison rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye strain and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers).

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
To switch on the high beams with the
light switch in headlamp
or
“AUTO” position, shift the left-hand
multifunction lever onward.
A related
blue telltale will
illuminate on the tachometer.
By pulling the lever backward (toward
the steering wheel) you switch off the
high beams and switch on the low
beams.You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
left-hand multifunction lever toward
you. This will turn on the high beams
headlights until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(light switch in position “0”) if the key
in the ignition switch is inMAR (ON)
position.

must pass as close as possible to the
side walls of the containment
compartment, avoiding the hooking
area of the handle.
The AUX auxiliary port features:
• 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
the ignition switch is turned inSTOP
(OFF)position (“Active Charging”
feature). When this feature is enabled,
the USB port will be backlit.
In this compartment there is also an
SD memory card input. Once insertedinto the slot, to extract it press lightly
on the card.
Other two USB ports are present for
rear seat passengers, on the rear part
of the central console.
To access the USB port, open the
outside cover. These USB ports allow
charging the connected source.
When you turn the key in the ignition
switch inSTOP (OFF)position, these
USB ports remain active for 10 minutes
to allow the charging of connected
devices.
iPod®Connection
An iPod®can be connected to the
system via USB and AUX ports by
means of a special cable (optional).
The MTC+ will then control the
following functions: play, pause, fast
forward, rewind, next track, previous
track, random or repeat mode,selection and navigation of
playlist/genre/singer/album/Podcast.
CAUTION!
Do not leave your USB device, iPod®
or an external audio source in the
vehicle for extended period of time:
extreme temperatures and humidity
can occur in the vehicle.
