latch your belt into the
corresponding buckle.
• A seat 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 snugly.
• 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.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and
lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. 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
passenger’s 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 system
periodically, 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
WARNING!
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly
could make your injuries in a
collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt.
Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep
your passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if
any slack so that it is comfortable
and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.

position and the vehicle is off.
“Panic Stop” Strategy In panic conditions, if driver stops
engine in any non-standard manner
while driving at a speed over 2 mph
(3 km/h), the “Panic Stop” strategy can
manage the situation by checking
gearchange condition upon engine
cutting, driver’s action on brakes, road
condition (flat or slope) so as to set
gearchange to the most suitable
condition.
The “Panic Stop” strategy considers
that the driver should stop the engine
by pressing the ignition switch at least
3 times or holding it depressed for at
least 2 seconds.Automatic Start&Stop
System The Maserati Start&Stop system allows
the engine to automatically switch off
when the vehicle stops and to restart
when the driver intends to drive. This
feature helps reduce fuel
consumption. During the “Stop
(AutoStop)” phase the ignition is still
on and all security features are
available.
In order for the Start&Stop to activate,
the vehicle must be stationary and the
brake pedal adequately pressed.
NOTE:
If the brake pedal is not sufficiently
pressed the Start&Stop may not
function even if the vehicle is stopped.
When the Start&Stop switches off the
engine, the related light
illuminates on the instrument cluster.
As soon as the brake pedal is released,
the engine turns on.
While the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission can be placed in P (Park)
pressing the “P” button on the shift
lever.
In this case it is possible to release the
brake pedal and the vehicle will
remain in “AutoStop” with engine off.Driving
