The homologation number (EEC
regulations) of the radio control device
is indicated in the picture.
The current device feature is subject to
following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful
interference.
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
If your transmitter device fails to
operate from a normal distance, check
for these two conditions:
• A weak battery in the transmitter
device. The expected life of the
battery in normal use is a minimum
of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airporttransmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.Doors
WARNING!
•For personal security and safety in
the event of an accident, or robbery
lock the vehicle doors before you
drive as well as when parking and
leaving the vehicle unattended.
•When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key and lock your
vehicle.
•Do not allow children to be in a
vehicle unattended or with access to
an unlocked vehicle. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake
trigger, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
•Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle, and do not leave ignition
switch in the ACC or MAR (ON)
position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
start the engine and the vehicle.
•Before opening a door, make sure
the maneuver can be performed
safely.

the seat belt properly fastened. Feet
must be on the floor (i.e. not on the
dashboard, seat or out of the
window).
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see
“Child Restraints System” in this
section) should be secured in the rear
seat in child restraints seats or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older
children who do not use child
restraints seats or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat. Never
allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
The safest place for a child that has
outgrown the child safety seat is in the
rear seat using the standard seat belt
in combination with a suitable booster
seat if needed so the seat belt is
properly located on the child.
You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint
system to make sure that you are using
it properly.
• All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
• The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far aspossible to allow the front air bags
room to inflate.
• Do not lean against the door or
window. Your vehicle has
seat-mounted side air bag and, if
deployment occurs, they 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 anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.
WARNING!
In an accident, all occupants can suffer
much greater injuries if not properly
buckled up. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other occupants or
you can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
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 seriousnessof 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

•The air bags are not a substitute of
the seat belts but provide
supplementary protection.
Moreover, in the event of head-on
collisions at low speed, side impacts,
rear collisions or rollovers, the
passengers are protected only by
the seat belts, which therefore must
always be fastened.

automatic seat wash stations).
•Do not hang rigid objects on the
cloth hooks and on the handholds.

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 5 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;
