In the event of a side impact, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
processes the signals coming from side
sensors and activates air bag
deployment when necessary.
The air bag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself between
the occupants and the side of the
vehicle. The air bag deflates
immediately afterward.
In the case of low-severity side
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the air bags do
not deploy.
The side air bags 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!
•If the
warning light comes on
while driving (fault signal), stop the
vehicle and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
•In the event of a collision with
consequent air bag deployment,contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for replacement of the entire
safety system, Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), seat belts,
pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
•Any and all inspections, repairs and
replacements regarding the air bag
must be performed by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
NOTE:
•To scrap the vehicle, please contact
anAuthorized Maserati Dealerin
order to have the air bag system
deactivated.
•If the vehicle is sold, the new owners
must read the above described
instructions for use and warnings on
this “Owner’s Manual” that is an
integral part of the car.
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of the
front air bags and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
the central electronic ORC deploys the
front air bags, the side air bags andseat belt pretensioners, as required,
depending on the severity and type of
impact.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the key in the ignition
switch is in theMAR (ON)position. If
the key is in theSTOP (OFF)position,
in theACCposition, 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 “Airbag failure
go to dealer” message either
momentarily or continuously. The
diagnostics also record the nature of
the malfunction. A beep will sound if
the
air bag warning light
illuminates again after initial startup.
Before Starting

51

Theair bag warning light monitors
the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
air bag system electrical components.
WARNING!
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 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 Service
Centre service the air bag system
immediately.
General Warnings
WARNING!
•When the key in the ignition switch
is turned to the MAR (ON) 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 an Authorized
Maserati Dealer immediately.
•Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that, in the
case of activation, the air bag can
deploy without encountering
obstacles which may cause serious
injuries.
•Do not drive with your body bent
forward 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 air bag 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 air bagdeployment these objects may cause
serious injuries.
•Do not cover the front seat backs
with clothes or covers.
•Note that with the key in the
ignition switch turned to MAR (ON)
position, even with the engine off,
the air bags 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. In addition, the air
bags will not activate in the event of
a collision with the vehicle
stationary and the key removed
from the ignition switch; failure of
the air bags 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 an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to have
the air bag system checked.
•If incorrect operations are performed
on the electrical system, the air bag
may activate and cause injuries to
anyone in the vicinity.

Always stop when the acoustic
signal becomes steady.
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.
Before Starting

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
