Warnings when driving
Your driving skills will improve with
experience, but be especially careful at
the beginning. Always comply with
local traffic regulations wherever you
drive.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or a
collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive
speed or in an altered state or while
intoxicated may result in loss of
control, going off the road, or
overturning. In all these situations a
collision with other vehicles or objects
is more likely to happen with the risk
to cause an accident that may lead to
serious injury.
In case of an accident, failure to use
seat belts causes the driver and
passengers a greater risk of injury or
death.
This Owner's Manual contains
warnings against operating procedures
that could result in a collision or injury
or damage to the environment. It also
contains cautions against procedures
that could damage the vehicle.
If you do not read this manual in its
entirety, you may miss important
information. Consider carefully all
warnings and cautions.WARNING!
•It is the driver’s responsibility to
operate the vehicle in a safe way: if
you are distracted while driving you
can lose control and cause serious
accidents.
•Maserati strongly recommends to
use particular care when operating
the features and tools that may take
the attention off the road.
•Mobile phones, PC, portable audio
device or other features should not
be operated while the vehicle is in
motion. This can be very dangerous
and can cause serious accidents.
•It is very dangerous to send text
messages while driving, do so only
when the vehicle is not moving.
•In some Countries/States the use of
mobile phone when driving is
forbidden: it is the driver’s sole
responsibility to respect local

To open the trunk lid from the outside,
when the security alarm is deactivated
and the key is inside the vehicle, simply
press the button indicated in picture.
To avoid accidental activation while
the vehicle is moving, it is only possible
to open the trunk compartment when
the key is removed from the ignition
switch or turned toSTOP (OFF)orACC
position.
Two gas struts facilitate the lid
opening. The struts are calibrated toensure they function correctly with the
weights specified by the manufacturer.
The arbitrary addition of objects
(spoiler, luggage rack etc.) may impair
the lid’s correct operation and safety.
WARNING!
When using the trunk compartment,
never exceed the maximum loads
allowed (see “Technical Data" in
section "Features and Specifications”).
Also check that the objects contained
in the luggage compartment are
arranged properly.
The trunk compartment is illuminated
by a light that comes on automatically
when the lid is opened; switching off is
timed.
If the trunk compartment lid is left
open, the light switches off after a few
minutes. To turn it on again, close the
lid and then reopen it.

handles as indicated on the inner
covering and lower the lid.
Then press gently on the outside of
the lid, in correspondence of the lock,
until hearing it click in place.

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

corresponding buckle.
•A 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
comfortably.
•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.
• The lower part must adhere to the
pelvis rather than the abdomen of
the occupant. 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 passengers
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 systemperiodically, 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 (front seats only)
WARNING!
The seat belts height must only be
adjusted when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
