Occupants Restraint
Systems
The listed occupants restraint systems
are some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
and shoulder belts) for the driver
and all passengers.
• Front air bags for driver and
passenger.
• Seat-mounted side air bags for the
driver and front passenger.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Seat belts incorporate a pretensioner
(Emergency Tensioning Device - ETD)
that may enhance occupant
protection by managing the energy
created during an impact.
• All 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.
• All seat belts system (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way outand then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat.
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
If you are carrying children too small
for adult-sized seat belts, the seat
belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether
for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can
be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more
information on LATCH, refer to
“Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH)” in this section.
WARNING!
To help provide maximum protection,
you are advised to keep the seatback
in the most upright position possible
and the seat belt close to your chest
and pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in
the event of an accident you could
move too far forward and could be
injured. Travelling with the seatback
too far reclined could also be
dangerous: even if the seat belts are
fastened, they may not work
correctly. In fact, the belt itself may
not be close enough to your bodyand, if it is in front of you, it could
cause neck wounds or other injuries in
an accident. Additionally, in an
accident, the lower section of the belt
could press against the upper part of
your stomach rather than the pelvic
area, causing serious internal injuries.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
• Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child restraints
should never ride in the front seat of
a vehicle with a passenger front air
bag. An air bag deployment can cause
severe or fatal injury to infants in that
position.
Do not use child seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front
passenger seat. Occupants in the front
passenger seat must never sit on the
edge of the seat, leaning toward the
dashboard or otherwise sit out of
position. The occupants’ back must be
as upright as comfort allows, and
must rest against the seatback with

the seat belt properly fastened. Feet
must be on the floor (i.e. not on the
dashboard, seat or out of the
window).
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see
“Child Restraints System” in this
section) should be secured in the rear
seat in child restraints seats or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older
children who do not use child
restraints seats or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat. Never
allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
The safest place for a child that has
outgrown the child safety seat is in the
rear seat using the standard seat belt
in combination with a suitable booster
seat if needed so the seat belt is
properly located on the child.
You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint
system to make sure that you are using
it properly.
• All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
• The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far aspossible to allow the front air bags
room to inflate.
• Do not lean against the door or
window. Your vehicle has
seat-mounted side air bag and, if
deployment occurs, they will inflate
forcefully into the space between
you and the door.
• If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to
accommodate a disabled person,
contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.
WARNING!
In an accident, all occupants can suffer
much greater injuries if not properly
buckled up. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other occupants or
you can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause an accident that
includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own
street.
Statistics report that seat belts save
lives and help reduce the seriousnessof injuries in an accident. Some of the
worst injuries happen when people are
thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts
reduce the possibility of ejection and
the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Three-Point Seat Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with combination lap and
shoulder belts.
The belt retractor is designed to lock
during very sudden stops or impacts.
This feature allows the shoulder part
of the belt to move freely with you
under normal conditions, conforming
to the body of the occupants.
However, in an accident, the belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking
the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the car also observe the
local regulations concerning the use of
seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before starting the vehicle.
Seat belts are designed to be used by
persons whose physical characteristics
(age, height, weight) are provided for
by established legislation in each

Push the indicated button above the
shoulder belt guide to release the
anchorage, then move the belt slider
up or down to the position that fits
you best.
WARNING!
After the adjustment, always check
that the slider to which the oscillating
ring is fixed, is locked into one of thepositions provided. With the handgrip
released, push again downward to
allow the anchoring device to click
into place, in the event that it has not
been released in one of the positions
provided.
When you release the anchorage try
to move the belt slider up and down
to make sure that it is locked in
position.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to
untwist a twisted three point belt.
• Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
• At about 0.5 to 1 ft (15 to 30 cm)
above the latch plate, grasp and
twist the belt 180 degrees to createa fold that begins immediately
above the latch plate.
• Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded belt. The folded belt must
enter the slot at the top of the latch
plate.
• Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded belt.
Rear Passengers Seat Belts
The rear seat belts, as the front ones,
are automatic with three fastening
points and an emergency inertia
locking device on the winding unit.
Rear passengers seat belts are
equipped with Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR) and can be used to
secure a child restraint system. For
additional information, see “Installing
Child Restraint Systems using the
Vehicle Seat Belt equipped with ALR”
Before Starting

under “Child Restraint Systems” in this
section.
When the passenger seating position
with ALR is being used for normal
usage, only pull the belt out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant so as to not activate the
ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will
hear a ratcheting sound as the belt
retracts. In this case, allow the belt to
retract completely and then carefully
pull out only the amount of belt
necessary to comfortably wrap around
the seat occupant.
Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a "click".
WARNING!
•Remember that, in the event of a
violent impact, the passengers in the
rear seats that are not wearing the
seat belts are not only subject to
personal injury but they also
represent a danger for passengers
sitting in the front seats.
•Always fasten the seat belts.
•Traveling without the seat belts
fastened significantly increases the
risk of serious injury in the event of
a collision, even with the air bags.•In the event of a collision, the seat
belts help reduce the possibility of
the vehicle’s occupants being thrown
against the structures of the
passenger compartment or out of
the vehicle.
•The air bags are designed to work
together with the seat belts, not to
substitute them. The front air bags
only deploy in the event of certain
head-on collisions of sufficient
intensity. They may not be activated
if the vehicle rolls over, or in the
event of rear bumps or minor frontal
collisions, or non-frontal collisions.
The belts for the rear seats must be
worn as shown in the illustration.
The seat belts must be worn keeping
your chest in the upright position and
lying against the backrest.
Using Rear Seat Belt in
Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) Mode
Use the seat belt automatic locking
mode anytime a child safety seat is
installed in a seating position that has
a belt with this feature.
Children up to 12 years old or under 5
ft (1,5 m) in height, should be properly
buckled up in a child restraint system.
Automatic Locking Mode Setting
• Buckle the lap and shoulder belt.
• Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
• Allow the belt to retract. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt
is now in the automatic locking
mode.
Before Starting

Automatic Locking Mode Unsetting
Unbuckle the three point seat belt and
allow it to retract completely to
disengage the automatic locking
mode and activate the vehicle
emergency locking mode.
WARNING!
•The belt and retractor assembly
must be checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer and must be
replaced if the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) feature or any other
seat belt function is not working
properly.
•Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
To further enhance the seat belt
efficiency, the vehicle seat belts are
equipped with ETD (Emergency
Tensioning Device) pretensioners.
These devices “detect”, by means of a
sensor, that a violent crash is occurring
and retract the belts by a few
centimeters. This ensures that the belt
properly adheres to the occupants’bodies before its restraining action
starts.
The seat belt locking indicates that the
device has activated; a small amount
of smoke may be released. The smoke
is not toxic and does not indicate the
presence of a 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, in the
event of exceptional natural events
(e.g. floods, heavy storms, etc.), the
device has been in contact with water
and sludge, it is mandatory to replace
it.
To help ensure the best protection
from the pretensioners, wear the belt
in such a way that it fits snugly against
your chest and pelvis.
WARNING!
•The pretensioners can be deployed
only once and activate only whenthe seat belts are fastened. After
activation, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the
pretensioners replaced and for
properly discarding the old
components.
•Do not tamper with the
pretensioner components. Any
operation must be performed only
by qualified and authorized
personnel. Always contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
CAUTION!
Work on the vehicle which involves,
vibrations or localized heating (over
212°F/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 curbs,
do not affect the units. Please contact
anAuthorized Maserati Dealerif any
interventions must be carried out.
Load Limiting Devices
To enhance passive safety, all the seat
belt retractors are equipped with load
limiting devices which control the seat
