The advanced front air bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on the severity and
type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with driver
and front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation
level of the advanced front air bags
based upon seat position.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
front passenger seat belt buckle sensor
that detects whether the front
passenger seat belt is fastened. The
seat belt buckle sensor may adjust the
inflation rate of the advanced front air
bag.
This vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) to protect the heads
of front and rear outer occupants. The
SABIC air bags are located above the side windows and their covers are also
labeled “AIR bag”.
This vehicle is also equipped with
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) for driver and passenger
pelvis-chest-shoulder protection during
a side impact. The Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags are
mounted on front seats and are
located in the outboard side of the
front seats.
NOTE:
After any accident, the vehicle should
be taken to the Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately.
Air Bag System Components Your vehicle may be equipped with the
following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC);
• Air bag warning light on the
instrument cluster;
• Steering wheel and column;
• Instrument cluster;
• Driver advanced front air bag;
• Passenger advanced front air bag;
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB);
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC); • Front and side impact sensors;
• Front seat belt pretensioners;
• Seat belt buckle switch;
• Seat track position sensors;
• Pyrotechnical charge to cut power
from the battery; it is located on the
positive battery terminal.
WARNING!
The air bag is not a substitute for the
seat belts. Correct use of the seat
belts, in combination with the air bag,
will offer protection for the driver and
passenger in the front seat in the
event of a head-on collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags
Properties The advanced front air bag system has
multistage driver and front passenger
air bags. This system provides air bag
inflation rates which are appropriate
to the severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. ThisBefore Starting

inflation rate is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output,
inflation rate, is used for more severe
collisions.
CAUTION!
• The airbag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
electrical Air Bag System Components
listed below:
– Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
– Airbag Warning light on the
instrument cluster
– Steering Wheel and Column
– Instrument Cluster
– Driver advanced front air bag
– Passenger advanced front air bag
– Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB) Air Bags
– Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
– Front and side Impact Sensors

terminal
• The electronic control unit provides
for the activation of the
pretensioners, front air bags or side
air bags (front and rear) based on
different criteria, according to the
type of impact. Failure of one or
more systems to activate is not
indicative of a system malfunction.
• The front and/or lateral air bags may
inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent
impact involving the underbody
area, for example in case of violent
impacts against steps, sidewalks,
speed bumps, or when the vehicle
falls into potholes, or similar.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel or steering wheel because any
such objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
• Do not place anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you could be injured because the air bags may
no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag are
designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
• Always drive with your hands on
the steering wheel rim, so that the
air bag can inflate freely if required.
During the drive your back must be
as upright as comfort allows and be
against the seat back with the seat
belt properly fastened.
• Do not apply stickers or other
objects on the steering wheel, on
the dashboard in the passenger’s
side air bag area, on roof side trims
or on the seats.
• Do not travel with objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or
especially with a pipe, pencil or
other objects in your mouth. In the
event of a collision, the intervention
of the air bag could result in serious
injury.
• EXTREME HAZARD! Do not place a
rearward-facing infant seat onto the
front seat (see warning plate on the
dashboard and above and behind
the sun visors). Deployment of the
air bag in an accident could causeBefore Starting
