Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) — Air Bags This vehicle has front air bags and
lap/shoulder belts for both the driver
and front passenger. The front air bags
are a supplement to the seat belt
restraints systems.
The driver's advanced front air bag is
mounted in the center of the steering
wheel in the area shown in the
picture. On this area is embossed the
word “SRS AIRBAG” for easier
recognition.
The passenger's advanced front air bag
is mounted in the dashboard, above
the glove compartment in the area
shown in the picture. On this area is
embossed the word “AIRBAG” for
easier recognition.
In addition, the vehicle is equipped
with a supplemental driver side knee
air bag mounted in the dashboard
below the steering column.
NOTE:
These air bags are designed to the
advanced air bag regulatory
requirements. The advanced front air bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on the severity and
type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with driver
and front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation
level of the advanced front air bags
based upon seat position.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
front passenger seat belt buckle sensor
that detects whether the front
passenger seat belt is fastened. The
seat belt buckle sensor may adjust the
inflation rate of the advanced front air
bag.
This vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) to protect the heads
of front and rear outer occupants. The
SABIC air bags are located above the side windows and their covers are also
labeled “AIR bag”.
This vehicle is also equipped with
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) for driver and passenger
pelvis-chest-shoulder protection during
a side impact. The Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags are
mounted on front seats and are
located in the outboard side of the
front seats.
NOTE:
After any accident, the vehicle should
be taken to the Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately.
Air Bag System Components Your vehicle may be equipped with the
following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC);
• Air bag warning light on the
instrument cluster;
• Steering wheel and column;
• Instrument cluster;
• Driver advanced front air bag;
• Passenger advanced front air bag;
• Supplemental driver side knee air
bag.
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB);Before Starting

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC);
• Front and side impact sensors;
• Front seat belt pretensioners;
• Seat belt buckle switch;
• Seat track position sensors;
• Pyrotechnical charge to cut power
from the battery; it is located on the
positive battery terminal.
WARNING!
The air bag is not a substitute for the
seat belts. Correct use of the seat
belts, in combination with the air bag,
will offer protection for the driver and
passenger in the front seat in the
event of a head-on collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags
Properties The advanced front air bag system has
multistage driver and front passenger
air bags. This system provides air bag
inflation rates which are appropriate
to the severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors. The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This
inflation rate is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output,
inflation rate, is used for more severe
collisions.
CAUTION!
• The airbag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
electrical Air Bag System Components
listed below:
– Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
– Airbag Warning light on the
instrument cluster
– Steering Wheel and Column
– Instrument Cluster
– Driver advanced front air bag
– Passenger advanced front air bag
– Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB) Air Bags
– Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
– Front and side Impact Sensors
– Front seat belt pretensioners
– Seat Belt Buckle Switch – Seat Track Position Sensors
– Pyrotechnical charge to cut the
power from the battery: it is
located on the positive battery
terminal
• The electronic control unit provides
for the activation of the
pretensioners, front air bags or side
air bags (front and rear) based on
different criteria, according to the
type of impact. Failure of one or
more systems to activate is not
indicative of a system malfunction.
• The front and/or lateral air bags may
inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent
impact involving the underbody
area, for example in case of violent
impacts against steps, sidewalks,
speed bumps, or when the vehicle
falls into potholes, or similar.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel or steering wheel because any
such objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
(Continued)Before Starting

front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deployment
will depend on the severity and type
of collision. Because air bag sensors
measure vehicle deceleration over
time, vehicle speed and damage
merely are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag. The
ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position, in the ACC
position, 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 “Service Airbag
System” message either momentarily
or continuously. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction.
A beep will sound if the light
illuminates again after initial startup.
The air bag warning light monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system
electrical components.
WARNING!
• If the ignition switch is in RUN
position, the engine is off and the vehicle is in complete stop, the air
bags can be deployed in case of
collision. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat in
a rearward facing seat even if the car
is not moving. Deployment of the air
bag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Please note
that when the ignition switch is in
the OFF or ACC position or is turned
off, the air bag will not deploy in
case of collision. Therefore, in these
cases, lack of air bag deployment is
not an indication of a system
malfunction.
• 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 the
event of 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 Maserati Dealer service
the air bag system immediately.
Front Air Bag Inflator Units

Refer to “Park Assist System Usage
Precautions” for limitations of this
system and recommendations.
Park Assist system will retain the last
system state (enabled or disabled)
from the last ignition cycle when the
ignition is changed to the RUN
position.
Park Assist system can be active only
when the shift lever is in R (Reverse) or
D (Drive).
If Park Assist is enabled at one of
these shift lever positions, the system
will remain active until the vehicleBefore Starting

speed is increased to approximately
7.5 mph (12 km/h) or above. The
system will become active again if the
vehicle speed is decreased to speeds
less than approximately 6.2 mph
(10 km/h).
Park Assist Sensors The four Park Assist sensors, located in
the rear bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the
sensors' field of view. The sensors can
detect obstacles up to approximately
78 in (200 cm) from the rear bumper in
the horizontal direction, depending on
the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
The six Park Assist sensors, located in
the front bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the
sensors' field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles up to
a distance of approximately 50 in (120
cm) from the front bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the
location, type and orientation of the
obstacle.
Park Assist Warning Messages
Display The Park Assist Warning screen will
only be displayed if “Sound + Display”
is selected from the MTC+ System.
Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
The Park Assist Warning screen is
located on the instrument cluster
display.
It provides visual warnings to indicate
the distance between the rear bumper
and/or front bumper and the detected
obstacle. The warning display will turn on
indicating the system status (ready or
off) when the vehicle is in R (Reverse)
or in D (Drive) and an obstacle has
been detected.
The detection area in front of the
vehicle is divided into two parts with
four arcs while the two detection areas
behind the car into five arcs.
The system will indicate a detected
obstacle by displaying arcs with fixed
or flashing light and a characteristic
sound according to the obstacle
distance. The color indicates the
distance and the arc indicates the
position of the detected obstacle. The
green color of the outer arc indicates
the maximum distance, the amber
color of the middle arcs indicates the
medium distance, while the red color
of the nearest arc indicates the
minimum distance.Before Starting

operation. Park Assist System Usage
Precautions NOTE:
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the
performance of Park Assist.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the
rear bumper while driving the
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing
the service Park Assist message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and
it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might only be
temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly
