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
– Front seat belt pretensioners
– Seat Belt Buckle Switch
– Seat Track Position Sensors
– Pyrotechnical charge to cut the
power from the battery: it is located on the positive battery
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

or elbows on the door, windows or
the area in which the window bag is
located to avoid possible injury
during air bag inflation. Sit upright
in the center of the seating area.
• Do not cover the front seatbacks
with clothes or covers. Do not use
accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the side
air bags; the performance could be
adversely affected and/or objects
could cause serious injury.
• Do not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the
vehicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors
and Controls 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 or rollover
event is required. Based on the impact
sensor's signals, a central electronic
ORC deploys the advanced front air
bags, SABIC and SAB air bags, and
front seat belt pretensioners, as required, depending on the severity
and type of impact.
On top of what previously described,
the characteristics of the collision
registered by the sensors and sent to
the control unit of the ORC can also
cause a sudden cut of the power from
the battery, “blowing” the
pyrotechnical charge located on the
positive battery terminal.
CAUTION!
After a collision that has caused the
ignition of the pyrotechnical charge,
this must be replaced at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Advanced front air bags are designed
to
provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in
certain frontal collisions depending on
the severity and type of collision.
Advanced front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The advanced front air bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions,
including those that may produce
substantial vehicle damage, for
example, some pole collisions, truck
under rides, and corner impacts. On
the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, advanced front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag
deployment will depend on the
severity and type of collision. Because
air bag sensors measure vehicle
deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage merely are not good
indicators of whether or not an air
bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also
are needed to help keep you in
position, away from an inflating air
bag. The ORC monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the RUN position. If the ignition
switch is in the OFF position, in the
ACC position, 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 instrumentBefore Starting

The Cargo Net is housed in the
accessories compartment under the
trunk floor.
The Cargo Net is supplied folded,
inside a bag that is part of the net
itself.
To install it, open the bag zip, unfold
the two parts until hearing the
jointing elements clicking in place.
To close it, press the button indicated
in the figure, at the two jointing
elements.
To install the Cargo Net in position A ,
proceed as follows.
• Turn downwards the upper part of
the protection cover on roof
brackets. • Insert the net top ends in the slot on
roof brackets (position
)
• Pull net down to ensure it is properly
engaged (position
).
• Fully unfold Cargo Net down and
engage the ends of side tethers,
with hook, in the fixed or mobile
retainers available on trunk floor.
• Pull down the free ends of the
tethers to tension the Cargo Net:
once released, the tether will remain
in taut position
. To disengage and release tether from retainer
position
, lift the tether free end as
indicated in the figure.
• Freeing the net lower part from the
Cargo Net structure.
• Attach the lower side ends of the
Cargo Net to the tethers, using the
Velcro appendices indicated in the
figure.Understanding the Vehicle
