corresponding buckle.
•A belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden
stop, you could move too far
forward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt
comfortably.
•A belt that is worn under your arm is
dangerous. Your body could strike
the inside surfaces of the vehicle in
an accident, increasing head and
neck injury. A belt worn under the
arm can also cause internal injuries.
• The lower part must adhere to the
pelvis rather than the abdomen of
the occupant. To fasten the lap belt
pull slightly up the diagonal portion
of the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in an accident.
WARNING!
•A lap belt worn too high can
increase the risk of internal injury in
an accident. The belt forces won't
impact on the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen.Always wear the lap belt as low as
possible and keep it comfortable.
•A twisted belt will not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt is
straight. If you can't straighten a
belt in your vehicle, take it to a
Service Center immediately.
•Do not use devices (clips, fastenings
etc.) that prevent the seat belts from
laying close to the occupants bodies.
•Never carry children on a passengers
lap.
• Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and
not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
• To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is
rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could break in an
accident and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt systemperiodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt/retractor assemblies
must be replaced by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent
retractor, torn belt, etc.).
Three-Point Seat Belt Height
Adjustment (front seats only)
WARNING!
The seat belts height must only be
adjusted when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.

Stop & Go Feature
This function is enabled by the
manufacturer and it can be disabled
by the MTC+ (see chapter "MTC+
Settings" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls"), select and
tick the “Stop & Go Parking Sensors”
feature.
When vehicle speed is equal to or
lower than 6 mph (10 km/h), this
function helps the driver under special
traffic conditions as it signals that the
vehicle before you is at a min.
distance.
System with Enabled Stop &
Go Feature
When the "Stop & Go" feature is
enabled through the MTC+, all sensors
are automatically enabled with the
key in the ignition switch turned to
MAR (ON)position, but they are not
displayed on the instrument cluster.
When the R (Reverse) gear is engaged
or an obstacle is detected, the
corresponding detection areas are
displayed on the instrument cluster. As
soon as the R (Reverse) gear is
disengaged, all sensors are still active:the rear ones for approx. 10 seconds
or until a speed of approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h) is exceeded, and the front
ones until a speed of approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h) is exceeded. When driving at
a speed equal to or lower than 6 mph
(10 km/h), as soon as the system
detects an obstacle, the front sensor
detection areas are displayed, and the
acoustic signals start to be emitted. If
no obstacle is detected for 10 seconds,
the displayed information disappears.
Front sensors can be temporarily
disabled by pressing
button in the
control panel next to the steering
wheel. The system will emit an
acoustic signal, and the button LED
will turn off. If
button is pressed
again, the acoustic signal and the LED
coming on will warn the driver that
sensors are now active again.
System with Disabled Stop &
Go Feature
With the "Stop & Go" feature disabled
through the MTC+, rear sensor
enabling/disabling logic is kept
unchanged. As for front sensors, the
“Stop & Go” function signal status will
not be changed if the
button in
the control panel next to the steering
wheel is pressed and front sensors will
be active and displayed on the
instrument cluster until speed will be
equal to or lower than 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Once this speed limit is exceeded, if
vehicle slows down below 6 mph
(10 km/h), sensors will not be enabled.
To enable them again, press
button.

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
