• Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an
unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake switch,
brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle, and do not leave the key in
the ignition switch in the ACC or
MAR (ON) position. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
• An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the key
from vehicle, cycle the ignition
switch to STOP (OFF) and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
• In the event of tampering with the
starter switch (e.g. attempted theft),
have it checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer before restarting
the vehicle. The key can be removed from the
ignition
switch only when the
transmission shift lever is in position P
(Park).
If the transmission shift lever is shifted
to P (Park) after turning off the
engine, the key can only be removed
within 30 seconds from turning it to
STOP (OFF) position.
If you do not remove the key within
30 seconds, you will need to turn it
back to MAR (ON) and then to STOP
(OFF) position to have a further 30
seconds within which to remove the
key.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible to
shift the transmission shift lever to P
(Park) position, to remove the key
from the ignition switch you must turn
it to STOP (OFF) position, then:
• remove the cap indicated in the
picture using a pen or sufficiently
pointed tool;
• press the button just uncovered and
at the same time extract the key;
• once the key has been removed, refit
the cap. WARNING!
After stopping the vehicle, always
shift the transmission shift lever to P

• For personal security and safety in
the event of an accident, or robbery
lock the vehicle doors before you
drive as well as when parking and
leaving the vehicle unattended.
• When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key and lock your
vehicle.
• Do not allow children to be in a
vehicle unattended or with access to
an unlocked vehicle. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake
trigger, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
• Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle, and do not leave ignition
switch in the ACC or MAR (ON)
position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
start the engine and the vehicle.
• Before opening a door, make sure
the maneuver can be performed
safely. Opening from the Outside Turn off the security alarm system and
the centralized door locking system by
pressing the
unlock button on the
radio control case (see chapter
“Vehicle Security Alarm” in this
section) or insert and turn the key in
the lock on one of the front doors.
To open the door, press the front
button inside each handle.
The vehicle is equipped with power
locks which move the mechanical parts
when pressing this button.
As these are electric locks, a slight
pressure on the front button will
unlock the doors.Before Starting

• 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 an Authorized 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 seriousness
of 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
country. Anyone who does comply
with these provisions may not travel in the front passenger seat. This also
applies to children. Their heads are
proportionally heavier and larger than
those of adults, while their bones and
muscles are relatively undeveloped. To
help protect them in case of a collision,
they must use special restraint or
safety systems, even in the rear seat
area.
WARNING!
• It is forbidden and dangerous to ride
in a cargo area. In an accident,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Do not allow any person to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure all passengers are in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
• Wearing your belt improperly could
make your injuries in an accident
much worse. You might suffer
internal injuries, or you could even
slide out of part of the belt. Follow
these instructions to wear your seat
belt properly and to keep your
passengers safe, too.Before Starting

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 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
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 create a 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
2
42

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

Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR All the passenger seat belts are
equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) to secure child
protection through a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion
of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint seat avoiding to use a locking
clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise
if the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt to
retract subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see “Using Seat
Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) Mode” in “Occupants Restraint
Systems” in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of
the retractor leading it through the
belt path of the protection device.
Slide the latch into the buckle until it
clicks, then remove the entire safety
belt from the retractor in order to
rewound. While rewinding a click will
indicate the safety belt is now in
Automatic Locking mode.
Exert then a traction on the exceeded
lap section of the belt in order to tighten it around the child restraint
seat. All seat belts will loosen over
time, it is therefore necessary to check
them periodically and set them
properly.
Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children (LATCH) Your vehicle's rear outboard seats are
all equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH.
The LATCH system allows the child
restraint systems to be fixed without
using the vehicle's seat belts, instead
fixing the child restraint system to the
vehicle structure, using lower
anchorages shown in picture.
LATCH-Compatible child restraint
systems are now available. You should
never install LATCH child seats so that
two seats share a common lower
anchorage. If your child restraints are not
LATCH-Compatible, install the
restraints using the vehicle's seat belts.
NOTE:
• You can install a standard and a
LATCH system child seat at the same
time (one in each outer rear seat).
• No more than two standard child
seats or two LATCH system type child
seats can be installed on the rear
seats.
• Only standard type child seats can be
mounted on the front passenger
seat.
Installing a LATCH- Compatible Child
Restraint System
The lower LATCH anchorages are
“U-shaped” metal rings located on the
rear seat where the cushion meets the
seatback just below the symbol shown
in the picture, but are not visible. You
will find them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions provided
with the child restraint system.
The lower Isofix anchorages are “U”
metal rings located on the rear seat in
the area between cushion and
seatback, but are not visible. You willBefore Starting
2
57

easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat facing-backwards
proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the release lever on
the back of child seat is in the
standby position (retracted).
• Align the anchoring points on the
child seat to the "U" lower metal
rings on the vehicle seat then push
the child seat backward until you
hear it click and lock into place.
• Check that the child seat is correctly
locked by trying to move it with
strength. The incorporated safety
mechanisms prevent the child seat
from being improperly fitted if only
one of the attachment fittings is
locked.
The child must be then secured by the
child seat harness. For installation facing-forward of a
child seat to the "U" lower metal rings
of the vehicle rear seat, proceed as
indicated for the facing-backwards
child seat.
NOTE:
For any further details on installation
and/or use, refer to the instructions
provided with the child seat. WARNING!
• Fit the child seat when the car is
stationary. The child seat is correctly
fixed to the anchorages when
hearing a click. Follow the
instructions for assembly,
disassembly and positioning that the
manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchor position directly
behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap.
NOTE:
When
using a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint system, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for occupant
restraints are stowed and out of reach
of children.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child
restraint system to the LATCH
anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The childBefore Starting

Parking Brake” in section “In an
Emergency”).
• “Parking Brake system revision: go to dealer”
The EPB system requires
maintenance, therefore contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to have
the system corrected.
WARNING!
In the event of an EPB failure, take
your vehicle to the nearest Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
Initialize the EPB System after a
Battery
Disconnecting
After the detachment and the
subsequent connection of the battery,
on the instrument cluster display the
warning light will light up.
To initialize the EPB system lift, release
and lift again the lever located next to
the transmission shift lever.
Emergency Disengagement
In case of brake lock with complete
electrical system failure, it is necessary
to act on the electric actuator using
the special tool provided in the tool kit
to release the pressure of the parking
brake shoes (see “Emergency Release of the Parking Brake” chapter in
section “In an Emergency”).
EPB Operation with
Overheated Brakes
Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions,
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. In this way,
the automatic or manual activation of
the parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
Parking
Straighten the wheels and turn off the
engine.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the parking brake is fully applied
in automatic or manual mode and
place the transmission lever in the P
(Park) position.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
WARNING!
• Always check that the vehicle is
locked before leaving it.
• Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
• Do not park the vehicle on paper,
grass, dry leaves or other flammable
materials. They could catch fire if
they come into contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system.
• Do not leave the engine running
while the vehicle is unattended.
CAUTION!
When you need to park the vehicle on
a steep slope, both with the engine on
and off, it is recommended not only to
