When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that baby will not be
hurt in a crash. For pregnant women,
as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them
properly.
WARNING!
Pregnant women must carefully
observe the above indications, as well
as local regulation concerning the use
of seat belts.
Supplemental Restraint
System - Air bags
This vehicle has front and side air bags
for both the driver and front
passenger as a supplement to the seat
belt restraint systems.
The driver's front air bag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel in
the area shown in the picture. The
word “AIRBAG” is embossed on this
area for easier recognition.
The passenger's front air bag is
mounted in the dashboard, above the
glove compartment in the area shown
in the picture. The word “AIRBAG” is
embossed on this area for easier
recognition.
This vehicle is also equipped with side
air bag for driver and passenger
chest-head protection during a sideimpact. The side air bags are mounted
in the front seat backrests.
The word “AIRBAG” is embossed on
this area for easier recognition.
NOTE:
After any accident, the vehicle should
be taken to anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerimmediately.
Air bag System Components
Your vehicle is equipped with the
following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
• Driver and passenger front air bag.
• Pretensioner for every seat belt.
• Driver and passenger side bag.
• Front and side impact sensors.
• Air bag system failure warning light.
• Diagnostic socket.
• Fuel cut-out inertia switch.
Before Starting

47

In the event of a side impact, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
processes the signals coming from side
sensors and activates air bag
deployment when necessary.
The air bag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself between
the occupants and the side of the
vehicle. The air bag deflates
immediately afterward.
In the case of low-severity side
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the air bags do
not deploy.
The side air bags are not a substitute
of the seat belts but rather act in
combination with them. As a
consequence, the seat belts must
always be worn as provided for by
applicable legislation in Europe and in
most non-European countries.
WARNING!
•If the
warning light comes on
while driving (fault signal), stop the
vehicle and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
•In the event of a collision with
consequent air bag deployment,contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for replacement of the entire
safety system, Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), seat belts,
pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
•Any and all inspections, repairs and
replacements regarding the air bag
must be performed by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
NOTE:
•To scrap the vehicle, please contact
anAuthorized Maserati Dealerin
order to have the air bag system
deactivated.
•If the vehicle is sold, the new owners
must read the above described
instructions for use and warnings on
this “Owner’s Manual” that is an
integral part of the car.
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of the
front air bags and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
the central electronic ORC deploys the
front air bags, the side air bags andseat belt pretensioners, as required,
depending on the severity and type of
impact.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the key in the ignition
switch is in theMAR (ON)position. If
the key is in theSTOP (OFF)position,
in theACCposition, or not active, the
air bag system is not activated and the
air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment. When starting
the vehicle, ORC turns on the
air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the
air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the
air bag
warning light and the “Airbag failure
go to dealer” message either
momentarily or continuously. The
diagnostics also record the nature of
the malfunction. A beep will sound if
the
air bag warning light
illuminates again after initial startup.
Before Starting

Theair bag warning light monitors
the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
air bag system electrical components.
WARNING!
Ignoring the
air bag warning light
and message in your instrument
cluster could mean you won't have
the air bags to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come on
as a bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the engine, or if it comes on as
you drive, have an authorized Service
Centre service the air bag system
immediately.
General Warnings
WARNING!
•When the key in the ignition switch
is turned to the MAR (ON) position,
the
warning light illuminates, but
it must turn off after approx. 5
seconds. If this warning light does
not illuminate, if it remains
permanently on or if it illuminates
while driving, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer immediately.
•Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that, in the
case of activation, the air bag can
deploy without encountering
obstacles which may cause serious
injuries.
•Do not drive with your body bent
forward but keep the seatback in the
upright position and fully resting
your back against it.
•Do not apply stickers or other
objects to the steering wheel or the
passenger’s air bag compartment.
•Do not travel with objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or
especially with a pipe, pencil or
other object held in your mouth; In
the event of a collision with air bagdeployment these objects may cause
serious injuries.
•Do not cover the front seat backs
with clothes or covers.
•Note that with the key in the
ignition switch turned to MAR (ON)
position, even with the engine off,
the air bags may activate even if the
vehicle is stationary, if it is run into
by another vehicle. Therefore, even
with the vehicle stationary, children
must be secured by the specific child
restraint systems installed on the
passenger seat. In addition, the air
bags will not activate in the event of
a collision with the vehicle
stationary and the key removed
from the ignition switch; failure of
the air bags to deploy in these
circumstances is not indicative of a
system malfunction.
•If the vehicle was stolen or its theft
attempted, if it was vandalized or
involved in flooding, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to have
the air bag system checked.
•If incorrect operations are performed
on the electrical system, the air bag
may activate and cause injuries to
anyone in the vicinity.

NOTE:
Front sensors are enabled only when
button LED is illuminated. In
addition, any pressing of
button
when vehicle speed is above 6 mph
(10 km/h) will be ignored by the
system.
Obstacle Signalling
The acoustic signals are emitted by
two buzzers, one under the dashboard
and one in proximity of the luggage
shelf.
When the obstacle is located at a
distance of less than 14 in (35 cm) from
the bumper, the beep is continuous.
The warning beep stops immediately if
the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle increases. The tone cycle is
constant if the distance measured by
the central sensors remains unaltered.
If this occurs with the lateral sensors,
the signal stops after approximately 7
seconds, to prevent for example
continuous beeps in the event of
maneuvers alongside walls.
The distance from the obstacles can
also be graphically shown on the
instrument cluster display by means of
an image that shows the vehicle
surrounded by explanatory symbols of
the distance (maximum/average/minimum) and the position
(front/rear/central/side) of the obstacle
detected.
The color represents the distance,
while the field represents the position.
The green color represents the
maximum distance detected, the
yellow color the medium distance and
the red color the minimum one. The
rear sensors are not shown in the
image on the instrument cluster
display if only the front sensors are
active.
WARNING!
For the system to operate correctly the
sensors positioned on the bumper
must be kept clean (remove any mud,
dirt, snow or ice).
Sensor Range
The sensors allow the system to
monitor the front and rear of the
vehicle; they are positioned so as to
monitor the central and lateral zones
at the front and at the rear of the
vehicle.
In the event of an obstacle located in a
central area, this will be detected at
distances of less than 35 in (0,9 m) at
the front and 59 in (1,50 m) at the rear,
depending on the type of obstacle and
its dimensions.
If the obstacle is located in a lateral
position, it will be detected at
distances of less than 31 in (0,8 m).
Failure Indicators
The system ECU checks all the
components every time R (Reverse)
gear is engaged.
In the event that the parking sensors
fail, the relative
warning light and
message illuminate on the instrument
cluster display.
In the event of a failure signal, stop
the vehicle and turn the key in the
ignition switch toSTOP (OFF)position.
Then try cleaning the sensors or
moving the vehicle away from any
possible ultrasound sources (e.g.
pneumatic truck brakes or pneumatic

system.
• If the belt has been sharply pulled,
for example as the result of anaccident, the safety belt, together
with the anchoring devices, the
anchoring device mounting screws
and the pretensioner must be
completely replaced. Even if the belt
does not present any exterior signs
of wear or damage, it may have lost
its restraining properties.
Air bag Warning Light
The
warning light should illuminate
and remain lit for a few seconds bulb
checking when the key in the ignition
switch is turned inMAR (ON)position
(see “Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) — Air bags” chapter in this
section).

•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.Tires
• Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
