Seat belts
The vehicle is equipped with seat belts
with automatic retractor for optimal
freedom of movement.
The front seat belts are also equipped
with electronically-controlled load
limiting devices and pretensioners.
Before fastening the seat
belts, make sure they are
correctly fitted into the guide
A on the seat.
Fastening the seat belts
Take the lower part of the seat belt
from the external side of the seat,
grasp the connection tab and A
buckle the seat belt;pull the seat belt
out until the tab is fully inserted in
the buckle .B
The belt is correctly engaged when
the lock clicks into place. Press the
button to release the seat belts.C
The vehicle is equipped with an
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system,
which warns the driver and the front
passenger when their seat belts are
not fastened by sounding an acoustic
warning at the same time turning on
the warning light on the instrument
panel .
The retractor locking device is
activated whenever the belt is pulled
out too rapidly or in case of sudden
braking or collision.
If the seat belt locks due to too rapid
extraction, allow it to retract a short
distance to disengage the locking
device.
The retractor allows the belt to
automatically fit to the passenger’s
body, allowing him/her to move
freely.
When the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, the retractor may lock: this is
normal.
WARNING: Feed the belt back into the
retractor by hand to avoid twisting
and snagging.
2
19
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 force exerted on the
shoulders while the seat belt is in
restraining mode.
Pretensioners
To further enhance the seat belt
efficiency, the vehicle front seat belts
are equipped with pretensioners.
These devices “detect”, by means
of a sensor, that a severe collision is
occurring and retract the seat belts by
a few centimetres. This way, they help
ensure that the seat belt properly
adheres to the occupant’s body before
its restraining action starts.
The seat belt locking indicates that
the device has activated; a small
amount of smoke may be visible.
The smoke is not toxic and is not
indicative of 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, as a result
of exceptional natural circumstances
(floods, heavy seas, etc.), the device
has been in contact with water and
sludge, it is absolutely essential to
replace it.
To help ensure optimal protection
from the pretensioners, wear the seat
belt in such a way that it fits snugly
against your chest and pelvis.
The pretensioners can be
deployed only once and
activate only when the seat
belts are fastened. After activation,
contact the Maserati Service Network
to have the pretensioners replaced
and for properly discarding the old
components.
2
20
WARNING: Work on the vehicle which
involves blows, vibrations or localized
heating (over 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 kerbs,
do not affect the units. Contact the
Maserati Service Network for any
intervention that might be required.
Do not tamper with the
pretensioner components.
Any intervention must be
carried out only by qualified and
authorized personnel. Always contact
the Maserati Service Network.
Using the rear seat belts
The seat belts for the rear seats must
be worn as shown in the illustration.
Remember that, in the
event of a violent impact,
the passengers on the rear
seats that are not wearing their seat
belts are not only subject to personal
injuries but they also represent a
danger for passengers sitting in the
front seats.
The seat belts must be worn keeping
your chest in the upright position and
lying against the backrest.
General warnings regarding the
use of the seat belts
It is compulsory for the
driver and passengers to
properly use the restraint
systems fitted in the vehicle.
To ensure optimal protection,
you are advised to keep the
seatback in the most upright
position and the seat belt must fully
adhere to your chest and pelvis. If
the seat belt is loose, in the event
of an accident you would move too
far forward and could be injured.
Travelling with the seatback too far
reclined could be dangerous: even if
the seat belts are fastened, they may
not work correctly.
2
21
In fact, the seat belt may
not be close enough to your
body and, if it is in front
of you, it could cause neck wounds
or other injuries in an accident. In
addition, in an accident, the lower
section of the seat belt could press
against the upper part of your
stomach rather than the pelvic area,
causing serious internal injuries.
Always fasten the seat belts.
Travelling without the seat
belts fastened increases the
risk of serious injury in the event of
a collision, even with the airbags.
In the event of a collision, the seat
belts reduce the possibility of being
thrown against the parts of the
passenger compartment or out of the
vehicle.
The airbags have been
designed to work in
combination with the seat
belts, and not to substitute them.
The front airbags only activate in
the event of head-on collisions of
sufficient intensity. They will not
activate if the vehicle rolls over, or
in the event of rear or low- intensity
frontal collisions.
Passengers seated in the
rear must always wear their
seat belts while travelling.
Travelling without the seat belt
fastened increases the risk of injury in
the event of a collision.
Do not fasten your seat belt
using the buckle for the
other seat: in the event of an
accident, the lower section of the belt
could press against the upper part of
your stomach rather than the pelvic
area and cause you serious internal
injuries.
It is extremely dangerous
to travel with the seat belt
positioned underneath your
arm. In the event of an accident you
would be thrown forward and would
very probably suffer head and neck
injuries. What is more, if the seat belt
presses against your ribs, it could
cause serious internal injuries.
The seat belt itself must
not be twisted; make sure
that it is snugly fitted to the
driver’s and passenger’s bodies. In the
event of an accident, the restraining
force would not be distributed
evenly across the seat belt and would
consequently cause injuries. The
upper part of the seat belt must pass
over the shoulder and diagonally
across the chest. The lower section
must adhere to your pelvis, not the
stomach, to avoid that you slide
forward in the event of a collision.
Do not use devices (e.g.
clamps, fasteners etc.) to
hold the seat belts away
from the passengers’ bodies.
Never carry children on a
passenger’s lap using one
seat belt only to protect both
of them.
2
22
If the seat belt underwent
strong mechanical stress, for
example during a collision, it
must be fully replaced together with
its anchorages, the anchoring screws
and the pretensioner. Even if there
are no visible defects, the seat belt
may have lost some of its resistance.
Pregnant women must
carefully observe applicable
local legislation regarding
the use of the seat belts. Always
make sure that the lower section of
the belt is secured well down on the
hips, below the abdominal region of
your body.
How to keep seat belts efficient
1) Always use the seat belts with the
belt completely flat, not twisted;
Make sure that the belt can move
freely without jamming.
2) The seat belts must be replaced
following every pretensioner
activation and whenever the belt
itself shows visible damages or
abrasions.
3) Wash the seat belts by hand using
water and neutral soap, rinse them
and let them dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleaches
or colorants and any other chemical
substance that may weaken the
fibres.
4) Make sure the seat belt retractors
do not get wet: they will operate
properly only if they do not
undergo water infiltration.
2
23
Safe transport of children
To help ensure optimal protection
in the event of a collision, all the
occupants in the vehicle must travel
seated and protected by appropriate
restraining systems. The seat belts
have been designed to be used by
persons whose physical characteristics
(i.e. age, height, weight) fall within
the limits provided for by established
legislation in each country (for the
European Community: 150 cm/
59 in. in height and 3-years of age
minimum). Anyone who does not
comply with these provisions may
not travel in the passenger seat.
This also applies to children. Their
heads are proportionally heavier and
larger than those of adults, while
their bones and muscles are relatively
undeveloped. To protect them in
the case of a collision, they must use
special restraint or safety systems.
Where provided for by
law (in the European
Community), children under
3 years of age cannot travel in
the vehicle unless using a suitable
restraint system.
Where provided for by
law (in the European
Community), children under
3 years of age who are less than
150 cm (59 in) tall may not travel on
the front seat unless using a suitable
restraint system.
Children must always use
a suitable restraint system
when travelling, preferably
fitted on the rear seat as this is
the safest position in the event of
a collision. In addition, the Isofix
anchorage system can be used on the
rear seats (see page 28).
Children must never travel
seated on a passenger’s lap.
In a collision, a child becomes
so heavy that it is impossible to hold
onto him or her. For example, in the
event of a collision at only 40 km/h
(25 mph), a child weighing 5,5 kg
(12 lb) exerts a force equal to 110 kg
(240 lb) on the arms of the person
carrying him/her. Children must
always be protected by a suitable
restraining system when travelling.
Children who are resting on
the airbag or are too close
to it when it is activated,
may be seriously injured. The airbags
and pretensioners offer suitable
protection for adults and teenagers,
but not for children and babies.
Neither the seat belts or the airbags
are designed for them. Children
and babies must travel in suitable
restraining systems.
2
24
Babies must be supported
completely, including their
head and neck. This is
necessary since a baby’s neck is weak
while their head is proportionally
bigger and heavier in relation to
their body. In a collision, if a baby is
travelling in a rearward-facing child
seat, the impact forces are distributed
through the more solid parts of the
body, i.e. the back and shoulders.
Babies must always be protected by
a suitable restraining system when
travelling.
Children cannot be carried
using a rearward-facing child
seat fitted on a passenger
seat protected by a front airbag,
unless the said airbag is deactivated.
Deactivate the airbag before
fitting a rearward-facing
child seat on the front
passenger seat.
The structure of a child
body is completely different
from that of an adult or a
teenager (whom the seat belts are
designed for). A child’s hips are so
small that seat belt will not stay in
the correct position on them. The belt
may rise up on the child’s stomach
and, in the event of a collision, cause
serious internal injuries. Children
must always be protected by suitable
restraining systems.
If a child seat is installed on
the front passenger’s seat,
this must be positioned as
high as possible and the seatback
must be fully upright. All this is
essential to help ensure maximum
safety for children.
All minors whose physical
characteristics (i.e. age, height,
weight) fall within the limit values
provided for by the established
legislation in each country must be
protected by suitable and approved
restraint or safety systems (e.g.
certified child seats, cradles, cushions).
Make sure to use certified universal
child restraining systems.
Follow the instructions that the
Manufacturer of the devices is
required to supply when installing
and using a child restraint systems.
A maximum of three child seats may
be positioned in the vehicle: one on
the front passenger seat (universal
type only) and two on the rear
passenger seat (Isofix type only).
2
25
To ensure an optimal
restraining action of the
child seats, we recommend
that you choose the model that best
suits the shape of your seats and
preferably Isofix-type child seats (see
page 28). It is advisable to try to fit
the child seat in your vehicle before
purchasing it.
To fasten a child seat, follow
the installation instructions
provided by the child seat
manufacturer.
Never unbuckle the seat belt
that retains the child seat
when the vehicle is moving.
In the event of an accident,
an incorrectly fastened child
restraining system increases
the risk of injury.
Passenger seats compliance for universal child seat anchorage
The vehicle complies with the new European Directive 200/3/CE that governs
the installation of child seats on the different vehicle seats, according to the
following table:
Section Weight groups Front passenger Rear side
passenger
Groups 0, 0+ up to 13 kg U ( ) U
Group 1 9-18 kg U ( ) U
Group 2 15-25 kg U ( ) U
Group 3 22-36 kg U ( ) U
Keys
U= suitable for “Universal” restraint systems as provided for by the European
Regulation EEC-R44 pertaining to the indicated “Groups”.
( ) For installation in the vehicle, the seat must be positioned fully up and
back.
2
26
Never modify or tamper with
the seat belts and the child
restraining systems.
Rearward-facing child seats
must not be used on front
passenger seats equipped
with active passenger’s airbag, as this
could cause serious injuries during
deployment, independently of the
impact severity. Rearward-facing
child seats may be used on the front
passenger seat only in European
vehicle models, that are equipped
with passenger’s airbag deactivation
switch. In this case, the driver
must make sure that the airbag is
deactivated by checking the warning
light on the instrument panel.
The European Community regulations
that govern the transport of children
are found in directive 2003/20/EC.
This directive divides restraint systems
into five groups:
Group 0 0-10 kg
(0-22 lb)
weight
Group 0 + up to 13 kg
(up to 27 lb)
weight
Group 1 9-18 kg
(20-40 lb)
weight
Group 2 15-25 kg
(33-55 lb)
weight
Group 3 22-36 kg
(49-79 lb)
weight
As can be seen, the groups partially
overlap and commercially available
systems may cover more than one
weight group.
All the restraining systems must bear
the approval data, together with the
check mark on a plate - which must
never be removed - fixed soundly to
the system itself.
For the purposes of restraint systems,
children weighing more than 36 kg
(79 lb) and taller than 1.50 m (59 in)
are considered equivalent to adults
and wear the seat belts in the normal
way.
The figures are purely
illustrative. Secure the
child seat according to
the instructions provided with the
product.
2
27
Groups 0 and 0+
Babies weighing up to 13 kg (27 lb)
must be transported in a rearward-
facing booster baby seat, which
provides head support and thereby
avoids neck strain in the case of sudden
decelerations. The baby seat is secured
by the vehicle seat belts as shown in the
figure, and must restrain the child with
its own incorporated belts.
Deactivate the airbag before
fitting a rearward-facing child
seat on the front passenger
seat. In addition, the front passenger
seat must be positioned fully back
and the backrest must be in the fully
upright position.
Group 1
Children weighing 9 kg (20 lb) and
more may travel in a forward-facing
child seat.
Child seats equipped with
Isofix latches may be
securely anchored on the
seat without using the vehicle seat
belts.
Group 2
Children weighing 15 kg (33 lb) and
more may travel secured by the
vehicle seat belts. Child seats have
the purpose of positioning the child
correctly with respect to the seat
belts, in such a way that the diagonal
portion of the seat belt closely
adheres to the child’s chest and never
to the neck, and the lap portion
adheres to the pelvis and not to the
abdominal region.
A

28
Group 3
Children weighing 22 kg (49 lb) and
more only need a cushion to raise
their position.
Only standard type child seats can be
mounted on the front passenger seat.
Fit the child seat only when
the vehicle is stationary.
The child seat is correctly
anchored to the brackets when a
click indicates it is locked in place.
Follow the installation, removal and
positioning instructions provided by
the child seat manufacturer.
Isofix seats
The rear seats of the vehicle are
equipped with anchoring points for
Isofix child seats. This is a new system
complying with European standards
for carrying children.
This system allows the child seats to
be anchored by means of two metal
brackets positioned between the A
seat cushion and backrest.
No more than two Isofix type child
seats can be installed on the rear
seats.

Fitting child vehicle seats for
groups 0 and 0+
To carry children whose weight falls
in the 0 and 0+ groups, the child seat
must be fitted facing backwards.
Carefully check that the brackets are B
properly installed in their seatings . D
The child is then secured by the child
seat harness .E
Fitting universal child seats
type 1
For proper installation of a forward-
facing universal Isofix child seat,
proceed as follows:
- make sure that the release lever is C
in its resting position (retracted);
- align the anchoring points with D
the brackets , then push the child B
seat until you hear the locking
clicks, which indicate it is secured in
place;
- check that the child seat is correctly
locked by trying to move it with
strength; the incorporated safety
mechanisms prevent the child seat
from being improperly fitted if only
one of the attachment fittings is
locked.
This way, the child seat is restrained
not only by the brackets but also by B
the vehicle vehicle seat belt.
Always refer to the instruction
manual provided with the child seat
for fitting the vehicle seat belts to the
said child seat correctly.

Below is a summary of the safety
regulations to be followed for
transporting children:
Children whose age, weight and
age are below the minimum limits
established by the laws in force in
the individual countries (European
Community: 3 years, 36 kg/79 lb
and 150 cm/59 in) may only travel
if secured using suitable restraint
systems.
We recommend that you always
install Isofix type child seats on the
rear seat, as this is the safest position
in the event of a collision.
If the vehicle is equipped with active
passenger airbags, children may not
travel on the front seat in a rearward-
facing child seat.
If you deactivate the passenger-side
airbag, always check the relative
warning light on the instrument
panel to verify it has been actually
deactivated.
Always and strictly follow the
instructions that the manufacturer is
obliged by law to enclose with the
child seat.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
together with the documents and
this owner’s manual. Do not use
a seat which is not provided with
instructions for use.
To ensure an optimal
restraining action of the
child seats, we recommend
that you choose the model that best
suits the shape of your seats and
preferably Isofix-type child seats (see
page 28). It is advisable to try to fit
the child seat in your vehicle before
purchasing it.
Always pull the seat belt to check that
it is locked in place.
All restraint systems must be used by a
single passenger only: never carry two
children in the same seat.
Always check that the seat belts are
not resting against the child’s neck.
Do not allow the child to sit in
improper positions or to unbuckle
the seat belt /child seat safety harness
while travelling.
Do not carry children in your arms,
including babies. Nobody, however
strong, can hold on to a child in the
event of a collision.
After an accident, always replace the
child seat with a new one.

Front airbags
The front airbags (driver’s and
passenger’s) are safety devices which
activate in the event of a head-on
collision.
It consists of an airbag that deploys
almost instantaneously and is
contained in a special housing:
- in the centre of the steering wheel
on the driver side;
- in the dashboard with a larger
cushion for the passenger.
The front airbags (driver’s and
passenger’s) are safety devices
designed to protect the occupants
in the event of head-on collisions of
medium-high severity. They act by
placing a cushion (airbag) between
the occupant and the steering wheel
or the dashboard.
In the event of a collision, an ECU
processes the deceleration signals
and activates, when necessary, airbag
deployment.
The airbag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself
between the front passengers
and potentially harmful parts of
the vehicle. The airbags deflate
immediately afterwards.
In the event of a collision,
any occupants not wearing
their seat belt will be
thrown forward and will come into
contact with the airbag before it
is fully inflated. This reduces the
protection level provided by the
airbag. The front airbags (driver’s
and passenger’s) are not a substitute
for 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.
Remember that, in the
event of a violent impact,
the passengers on the rear
seats that are not wearing the seat
belts are not only subject to personal
injuries but they also represent a
danger for passengers sitting in the
front seats.
Never remove the steering
wheel. If necessary, this
operation should only be
performed by a Maserati Service
Network centre.
In the case of low-severity head on
collisions (in which the retaining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the airbags will
not be activated.
The airbags do not activate in the
event of rear and side collisions, as it
does not provide any supplementary
protection.
Therefore, in these cases, failure
of the airbag to deploy is not an
indication of a system malfunction.
2
34
Passenger’s airbag
The passenger’s airbag has been
designed and calibrated to enhance
the protection level provided to a
person wearing the seat belt.
It therefore deploys to such an extent
as to fill most of the space between
the occupant and the dashboard.
SERIOUS DANGER:
the vehicle is
fitted with front
passenger’s airbag. Before fitting
any child seat on the front passenger
seat, always deactivate the front
passenger’s airbag. Even where not
required by law, we recommend for
the safety of adult passengers, that
the airbag be immediately reactivated
as soon as the seat is no longer used
for carrying children.
Passenger’s airbag manual
deactivation switch
If you have to carry a child on
the front passenger seat, always
deactivate the airbag on the
passenger’s side before installing a
rearward-facing child seat. The device
may be deactivated by operating
(with the ignition key) the relative
key switch located on the right-hand
side of the dashboard. The switch is
accessible only when the door is open.
Vehicles manufactured for the US,
Canadian, Japanese and Australian
markets are not equipped with this
device.
The key switch has two positions:
1) passenger’s airbag active:
(position ON ), the warning
light on the instrument panel
is off; carrying children on the
front passenger seat on rearward
facing child seats is strictly
prohibited.
2) passenger’s airbag deactivated:
(position OFF ) the warning
light on the instrument panel
is on; children may travel in the
front passenger seat if they are
suitably protected by specific
rearward-facing restraint systems.
The warning light remains
permanently illuminated until the
passenger’s airbag is reactivated.
WARNING: Should the warning
light (passenger’s airbag off)
malfunction, its failure will be
shown on the display.
WARNING: Deactivation of the front
passenger airbag does not deactivate
the side airbags and the seat belt.
2
35
When the door is open, the key
can be inserted or removed in both
positions.
We recommend that you
always fit any child seats
on the rear seat, as this is
the safest position in the event of a
collision.
When the passenger’s airbag
is deactivated, because
you are carrying a person
considered by applicable legislation
to be at risk and who must therefore
be protected by an additional
restraining system, the passenger will
not have the additional protection of
the airbag in the event of a collision.
Only deactivate the airbag
when you are carrying a
person considered at risk
by applicable legislation, and always
reactivate it at the end of the journey.
Side airbags
The side airbags have been designed
to help enhance the protection level
provided to passengers travelling in
the front seats in the event of certain
medium-high severity collisions.
They consist of an instantaneously
inflating airbag (side bag) housed in
the front seat backrests.
In the event of a side impact, an
electronic control unit processes the
signals coming from a deceleration
sensor and activates airbag
deployment when necessary.
The airbag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself
between the front passengers the side
of the vehicle. The airbag deflates
immediately afterwards.
WARNING: The electronic control unit
activates the pretensioners, the front
airbags and side bags on the basis of
different criteria, according to the
type of collision.
Failure of one or more systems to
activate therefore, is not indicative of
a system malfunction.
In the case of low-severity side
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the airbags do
not deploy.
The side airbags 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: The front and/or side
airbags may deploy if the vehicle
suffers a violent impact beneath the
vehicle body, for example in the event
of strong impacts against kerbs, steps
or speed bumps, potholes or roads
with subsidence.
WARNING: The airbags release a
small amount of powder during
deployment. This powder is not
harmful and does not indicate the
presence of a fire; in addition, the
surface of the deployed airbag and
the interior of the vehicle may be
covered with a powdery residue: this
powder may irritate your skin and
eyes. In case of contact, wash the
affected parts with running water and
neutral soap.
2
36
If the warning light
comes on while driving (fault
signal), stop the vehicle and
contact the Maserati Service Network
to have the system checked.
In the event of a collision
with consequent airbag
deployment, contact the
Maserati Service Network for
replacement of the entire safety
system, electronic control unit, seat
belts, pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
Any and all inspections,
repairs and replacements
regarding the airbag must
be performed by the Maserati Service
Network.
WARNING: To scrap the vehicle, please
contact the Maserati Service Network
in order to have the airbag system
deactivated.
WARNING: If the vehicle is sold, the
new owners must be informed of the
above described instructions for use
and warnings, and they must also be
provided with the “Owner’s Manual”.
General warnings
When the ignition key is
turned to the MAR 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 the Maserati
Service Network immediately.
Turning the ignition key
to MAR, the warning light
(when the front airbag
deactivation switch is in the ON
position) will illuminate and flash
for some seconds, to remind the
driver that the passenger’s and side
airbags will activate in the event of a
collision. After this the warning light
must turn off.
Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering wheel
rim so that, in the case of
activation, the airbag can deploy
without encountering obstacles
which may cause serious injuries.
Do not drive with your body bent
forwards 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
airbag 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 airbag deployment these objects
may cause serious injuries.
Do not cover the front seat
backs with clothes or covers.
2
37
Note that with the ignition
key inserted and turned
to MAR, even with the
engine off, the airbags 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,
and the passenger airbag must be
deactivated. In addition, the airbags
will not activate in the event of a
collision with the vehicle stationary
and the key removed from the
ignition block; failure of the airbags
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 the Maserati Service
Network to have the airbag system
checked.
If incorrect operations are
performed on the electrical
system, the airbag may
activate and cause injuries to anyone
in the vicinity.
The airbags 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.
Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam
(by hand or in the automatic
seat wash stations).
Do not hang rigid objects on
the cloth hooks and on the
handholds.
Do not fit sunshades of any
kind on the windows or door
panels.
Active roll bars
The active roll bars that equip the
vehicle have been designed for
protecting passengers in the event of
a vehicle rollover.
They are fitted behind the rear
seat headrests, usually in a hidden
position, and are activated by a
specific ECU which, only in the case
of high-severity rollover, ejects them
in a few tenths of a second. A cross
member then locks them in this
position.
The roll bars have been designed
in such a way that they can be fully
deployed also with the soft top
closed. This is ensured by a device
which breaks the rear window when
it comes in contact with it.
In combination with the windscreen
outer frame, they help creating an
anti-intrusion safety cell.
2
38
The active roll bars do not
prevent the risk of the
occupants being thrown
out of the vehicle or hitting against
its internal structures. Only the seat
belts are designed for these purposes
and must always be properly
fastened when travelling.
WARNING: In addition to being
ejected in the case of rollovers
around the vehicle longitudinal axis
(as shown in the figure) the active
roll bars activate as a precautionary
measure in the event of sufficiently
severe side and rear collisions, and in
all cases where the battery might be
disconnected.
They do not activate in the event of
spinning.
Passengers travelling in the
rear seats must never travel
with their head resting on
the roll bars or sitting on them. If
the roll bars are ejected, passengers
travelling in these positions would be
exposed to the risk of severe injuries.
We recommend that you
do not place stickers or
other objects on top or in
the vicinity of the roll bars, as these
could delay or inhibit roll bar ejection.
In addition, these objects could
be propelled inside the passenger
compartment at very high speeds,
which may jeopardise the occupants’
personal safety.
After activation, the roll bar
must be always replaced.
Contact the Maserati Service
Network to have the system properly
repaired.
WARNING: This is a device with
pyrotechnic activation: it cannot be
therefore repaired but only replaced.
As a consequence of
incorrect operations on the
electric system, the active
roll bars may activate causing injuries
to persons in the vicinity.
WARNING: If the vehicle was stolen
or its theft attempted, if it was
vandalised or involved in flooding,
contact the Maserati Service Network
to have the Active Roll Bar system
checked.
Never remove or
tamper with the system
components. Any and
all operations must be performed
only by qualified and authorised
personnel. Always contact the
Maserati Service Network.

ESC system
The vehicle is equipped with ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) anti-
yawing system, which incorporates all
of the vehicle control systems: ABS,
EBD, ASR and MSR.
The system is fitted with a unit that
predicts the vehicle behaviour with
extreme accuracy. The system can
detect when the driver is about to
lose control of the vehicle. In this
case, it can activate the brake calipers
individually and engine control, in
order to create a torque sufficient to
resist the vehicle’s yawing moment.
Activation
The system is designed to ESC
automatically activate every time
the engine is started and can be
deactivated by pressing button for A
about 2 seconds; the warning light
illuminates on the instrument panel
as well as on the display, where it is
accompanied by a specific message.
Press button again to reactivate the A
system.
The amber warning light on the
instrument panel flashes during all
the operating phases.
Fault signals
In the event of a fault, the system is
automatically disabled and cannot
be re-activated. While driving, this
condition is signalled by the amber
warning light , that illuminates
both on the instrument panel as
well as on the multi-function display,
where it is accompanied by the
message “ESC unavailable go to
dealer”.
When the engine is started, the
system malfunction is indicated by the
illumination of the warning light .
WARNING: In the event of a fault,
and with the system disabled, ESC
the vehicle behaves as if it were not
equipped with this system: however,
we recommend you contact the
Maserati Service Network as soon as
possible to have the system checked.
WARNING: If you have to tow the
vehicle with 2 wheels raised, make
sure the ignition key is in the STOP
position. Otherwise, with the ESC
system active, the control unit will
store a malfunction with consequent
illumination of the warning lights
on the instrument panel and on the
display. Should this occur, contact the
Maserati Service Network to have the
system repaired.
WARNING: In low- and medium-grip
conditions (e.g., rain, snow, ice, sand,
etc.) it is advisable not to activate
SPORT ESC mode, even with the
system active.
WARNING: Driving on parabolic curves
will deactivate the system.
2
40
ASR system
The system avoids skidding of the ASR
driving wheels during acceleration
by means of the engine control unit
(spark advance delay, engine throttle
opening reduction and fuel injection
cut) and the rear brakes.
The system is designed to ASR
enhance vehicle stability and active
safety while driving, specially under
the following conditions:
- internal wheel skidding on curves
due to the load dynamic variations
or excessive acceleration;
- excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to the road
surface conditions;
- acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy road surfaces;
- in the event of loss of grip on wet
roads (aquaplaning).
The system works in combination ASR
with the electronic suspension
control system: in normal conditions
(SPORT mode off), stability in low and
medium grip conditions has priority,
while with SPORT mode active, the
system favours traction, thereby
optimising vehicle performance on
dry asphalt.
System activation
The system is automatically ASR
activated every time the engine is
started and can be deactivated by
pressing button (see page 39) for A
about 2 seconds; the warning light
illuminates on the instrument
panel and on the display, where it is
accompanied by a specific message.
Press button again to reactivate the A
system.
The amber warning light on the
instrument panel flashes during all
the operating phases.
Malfunction indicators
In the event of a fault, the system is
automatically disabled and cannot
be re-activated. While driving, this
condition is signalled by the amber
warning light on the multi-
function display, which illuminates
together with the message “ASR
unavailable go to dealer”. The
warning light illuminates on the
instrument panel.
MSR function (engine braking
torque adjustment)
The system also controls the ASR
engine braking torque when the
accelerator pedal is released under
low grip conditions (e.g., snow, ice
etc.): in these conditions, the high
braking torque provided by the
engine may cause instability of the
vehicle.
The system, using the same sensors
as the ABS, detects skidding of one
or both driving wheels when the
accelerator is released and opens the
motor-driven throttle of the engine
fuel system thereby reducing the
braking torque and re-establishing
the maximum grip conditions for the
driving wheels.
WARNING: The maximum
deceleration that can be obtained
with the engine brake always
depends on the tyre grip on the road
surface. Snow or ice obviously reduce
grip values.
2
41
ABS, EBD and HBA
systems
The vehicle is equipped with ABS
(Anti-lock Braking System) and EBD
(Electronic Brake force Distribution)
systems, which enhance the braking
system performance by means of the
ABS system sensors and ECU.
In the event of a emergency braking
or braking on slippery road surfaces
(e.g. snow, ice etc.) the , in ABS
combination with the standard
braking system, allows the driver
to apply maximum braking force
without causing the wheels to lock
and consequently losing control of
the vehicle.
The system uses an electronic control
unit that processes the signals coming
from 4 sensors fitted on the 4 wheels.
When a wheel tends to lock, the
sensor warns the ECU, which activates
an electro-hydraulic unit that
modulates the pressure applied to
the brake calipers; the driver will feel
a “pulsing” sensation on the brake
pedal which is completely normal.
To complete the action of the braking
assistance systems, the vehicle is
equipped with (Hydraulic Brake HBA
Assistance) device, which helps the
driver during emergency braking.
In the event of a critical situation,
where the vehicle must stop in
the shortest possible distance,
the driver usually depresses the
brake pedal quickly, but often not
strongly enough: this increases the
braking distance. This system has
been designed to solve this problem
and acts by applying the maximum
braking force during emergency
braking, in order to stop the vehicle in
the shortest possible distance.
The system recognises the emergency
condition by analysing some
parameters, such as the pressure on
the brake servo, the wheel speed and
activation of the third stop. The ABS
control unit cross-checks this data and
substitutes the driver by activating
the braking system’s full power and so
ensures optimal braking performance
in the shortest possible distance.
In the event of a failure the system
will be deactivated, but this will not
affect the efficiency of the standard
braking system.
The failure will be indicated by the
illumination of the amber warning
light with the letters “ABS” on
the instrument panel.
In this case we recommend that you
contact the nearest Centre of the
Maserati Service Network in order to
identify the fault as soon as possible,
by means of the system self-diagnostic
function.
The vehicle must be
equipped only with wheels,
tyres and brake pads of
the type and make approved by the
Factory for this model.
Despite the fact that this
device considerably increases
the safety levels, it is
essential to always drive with the
greatest care when the road surface is
wet, covered with snow or ice.
2
42
The vehicle is equipped
with an Electronic Brake
force Distributor (EBD). The
warning light illuminates when
the engine is running to indicate
an EBD system malfunction: in this
case, sharp braking may cause an
early locking of the rear wheels, and
the vehicle may skid. Drive with the
greatest care and have the system
immediately checked by the nearest
Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
The failure warning light
usually illuminates
with the engine running to
indicate a malfunction in the ABS
system only. In this case, the braking
system will remain fully functioning,
but will not use the ABS. In these
conditions, also the EBD system
efficiency may be affected. Drive
with the greatest care in order to
avoid sudden braking and have the
system immediately checked by the
nearest Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
If the low brake fluid
warning light illuminates
when the engine is running,
stop the vehicle and check the brake
fluid level immediately. If fluid is
below the minimum level, top up
with the recommended fluid and
contact the Maserati Service Network
immediately. Brake fluid leaks affect
the operation of the braking systems,
both the standard one and the one
equipped with ABS.
The system performance in
terms of active safety is not
a reason for the driver to run
unnecessary risks. The driving style
shall always be suited to weather
conditions, range of visibility and
traffic.
The maximum deceleration
that can be obtained always
depends on the tyre grip on
the road surface. With snow or ice on
the road the grip is obviously reduced
and the braking distance is very high,
even with the ABS system.

43
TPMS – Tyre pressure
monitoring system
(optional equipment)
On request, the vehicle may come
equipped with a system that monitors
the tyre pressure by means of special
sensors fitted inside the wheel rims,
in position with the inflation valve.
These sensors transmit a signal that
is detected by the antennas installed
on the vehicle body behind the gravel
guards and connected to the ECU.
WARNING: The system can
momentarily experience radio-electric
interference emitted by devices using
similar frequencies.
The ECU processes this information
and, via the CAN line, transmits a
series of tyre pressure data and system
errors, if any, to the instrument panel.
The display may show the information
received by means of specific screen
pages, which can be recalled selecting
the “Tyre Pressure” page.
The system warns the driver
that the tyre pressure has
decreased. This warning
does not exempt the driver from
periodically checking the tyres and
from complying with the prescribed
tyre pressure levels.
WARNING: The system stores the
tyre pressures as a reference rate,
therefore tyres must be inflated to
the prescribed pressure.
System calibration
The system must be calibrated:
- after replacing one or more tyres;
- after inverting the wheels;
- if you are not sure whether at least
one of the operations above was
performed.
If you simply corrected the tyre
inflation pressure, you do not need to
recalibrate the system.
To calibrate the system, select the

Low tyre pressure conditions
The system includes two alarm
thresholds for monitoring the tyre
pressure, which respectively activate
a “check tyre pressure” indicator light
and a “low tyre inflation pressure”
warning light, this last one will also
warn the driver to stop driving.
The system also monitors the sudden
loss of pressure (punctured tyre) of
one or more tyres.
The first alert (check tyre pressure
indicator light) illuminates when
the pressure of one or more tyres
falls below the low-pressure alarm
threshold, corresponding to 90%
of the pressure level set at the
calibration.
The second warning alert (the low
inflation pressure tyre warning light
– do not drive on message) activates
when the pressure of one or more
tyres is below the minimum pressure
alarm threshold, corresponding to
83% of the pressure level set at the
calibration.
A tyre puncture (a sudden loss of
pressure) is signaled when the system
detects a loss of pressure of one or
more tyres measured within a set
time frame (0.35 bar/min). In this last
case, ie a tyre puncture detection,
the system activates the low inflation
pressure tyre warning light – do not
drive on message.
Note: To perform calibration of the
system follow the indications from
paragraph “System calibration” and
apply the pressure level as indicated
in chapter “Tyre pressure”

a message from the tyre pressure
ECU indicating that one or more tyres
have pressure levels below the control
threshold, screen page will be 2
displayed for 10 seconds, after which
the system will display the screen
page previously active.
When the key is subsequently turned
back to ON, if the malfunction persists
the display will show screen page 2
once again.
Low tyre inflation pressure –
Punctured tyre
When the instrument cluster receives
a signal from the tyre pressure ECU
indicating that the pressure level
of one or more tyres is below the
alarm threshold or there is a sudden
pressure loss (punctured tyre), the
warning light will permanently
illuminate on the instrument cluster
and screen pages will alternate on 3
the display for 20 seconds.
Every time the key is subsequently

Parking sensors
To assist the driver during parking
manoeuvres, the vehicle can be
equipped with four sensors housed in
the rear bumper.
During parking manoeuvres, the
parking sensors provide the driver
with information on the distance
between obstacles found behind
the vehicle. The information about
the obstacle distance is given to the
driver by means of acoustic and visual
signals. The acoustic signals emitted
by the system add to the driver’s
field of vision, allowing him to avoid
hitting obstacles during manoeuvres.
However, the driver remains
responsible during parking
manouevres and in other
potentially dangerous situations. The
system has actually been designed
only as a supplementary aid during
parking manoeuvres, since it allows
the driver to detect obstacles outside
his field of vision.
Extreme caution is required
in case of obstacles whose
shape and volume are
susceptible to be incorrectly detected.
When starting the vehicle after
parking, these obstacles might not be
detected if they are already close to
the bumper. Always stop when the
acoustic signal becomes steady.
The rear parking sensors are
automatically activated with the key
at , when reversing. MAR
When reverse gear is disengaged, the
sensors remain active for about 10
seconds or until a speed of approx. 10
km/h (6 mph) is exceeded.
When the rear sensors are activated,
an acoustic signal warns the driver
that the system is active.
When the sensors are activated, the
system begins to beep as soon as an
obstacle is detected, and the tone
frequency increases as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
The acoustic signal is emitted by a
buzzer positioned in proximity of the
luggage shelf.
When the obstacle is located at a
distance of less than 35 cm (13.8
in) from the bumper, the beep is
continuous. The acoustic signal 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, while if
this occurs with the lateral sensors,
the signal stops after approximately
7 seconds, to prevent for example
continuous beeps in the event of
manoeuvres alongside walls.
The distance from the obstacles can
also be graphically shown on the
instrument panel display by means
of an image that shows the vehicle
surrounded by explanatory symbols
showing the distance (maximum/
average/minimum) and the position
(central/lateral) of the obstacle
detected.
The colour represents the distance,
while the field represents the
position. The green colour represents
the maximum distance detected, the
yellow colour the medium distance
and the red colour the minimum one.
2
49
For proper system operation,
the sensors positioned on
the bumper must be kept
clean: remove any mud, dirt, snow or
ice.
Cleaning the sensors
When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry,
rough or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with
clean water, possibly with car
shampoo added.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensors area, please contact
exclusively the Maserati Service
Network. Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensor
operation.
Sensor range
The sensors allow the system to
monitor the rear of the vehicle; their
position actually covers the central
and lateral zones at the rear of the
vehicle.
In the event of an obstacle located in
a central area, it will be detected at
distances of less than 1.5 m (1.6 yd),
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 0.8 m (0.9 yd).

50
Failure indicators
The system ECU checks all the
components every time reverse gear is
engaged.
In the event that the parking
sensors fail, the relative warning
light illuminates on the display,
accompanied by the message
“Parking help unavailable”.
In the event of a failure signal, stop
the vehicle and turn the ignition key
to . Then try cleaning the sensors STOP
or moving the vehicle away from
any possible ultrasound sources (e.g.
pneumatic truck brakes or pneumatic
hammers) and rotate the ignition
key to the position. So, if the MAR
operating failure cause has been
eliminated, system full operation will
be recovered. If however, the failure
beep continues, contact the Maserati
Service Network to have the system
checked.
During parking manoeuvres,
always be extremely careful
with obstacles that might be
located above or below the sensors.
In fact, in certain circumstances,
objects located near the rear of
the vehicle are not detected by
the system and therefore could
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.
The signals transmitted
by the sensors can also be
altered by damage to the
sensors or by dirt, snow or ice on the
latter or even by ultrasound systems
(e.g. pneumatic truck brakes or
pneumatic hammers) in the vicinity.
The driver is fully
responsible for parking
and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres. During these
manoeuvres, always make sure there
are no people (especially children) or
animals in the manoeuvring area. The
parking sensors must be considered
an aid for the driver who, in any
case, must always take care during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even at low speeds.

Fuel cut-out inertia
switch
The vehicle is equipped with a safety
switch which activates in the event of
a collision, cutting off the fuel supply
and consequently causing the engine
to stop. It also prevents fuel spreading
if the fuel lines are damaged during
the accident.
Activation of the safety switch is
signalled by the illumination of the
warning light on the display.
The switch is positioned underneath
the front left-hand seat.
After a collision, if you smell
fuel or note any leakage
from the fuel supply system,
do not reactivate the switch in order
to prevent any fire risks.
The activation of the inertia switch
causes all the doors and the luggage
compartment to unlock and in the
internal dome light and the four
direction indicators to turn on.
Resetting the switch
Turn the ignition key to position STOP.
Check that there is no leakage from
the fuel system.
If no leaks are found, reset the inertia
switch which stops the fuel pump
operation, by pressing button on A
the switch.
Turn the ignition key to position , MAR
wait a few seconds and move it to
ACC.
Check that the warning light on
the display is off.
Check once again that there are no
fuel leaks.
Note: Please contact the Maserati
Service Network.
