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.
• Advanced front air bags for driver
and passenger.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and
passengers seated next to a window.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side air
bags.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate dual
pretensioners that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an
impact.
• All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and 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 body
and, 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.
NOTE:
The
advanced air bags
have a multi
stage inflator. This allows the air bag
to have different stages of inflation
based on the severity and type of
collision.
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 Advanced
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

cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the air bag
warning light and the “Service Airbag
System” message either momentarily
or continuously. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction.
A beep will sound if the light
illuminates again after initial startup.
The air bag warning light monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system
electrical components.
WARNING!
• If the ignition switch is in RUN
position, the engine is off and the vehicle is in complete stop, the air
bags can be deployed in case of
collision. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat in
a rearward facing seat even if the car
is not moving. Deployment of the air
bag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Please note
that when the ignition switch is in
the OFF or ACC position or is turned
off, the air bag will not deploy in
case of collision. Therefore, in these
cases, lack of air bag deployment is
not an indication of a system
malfunction.
• Ignoring the air bag warning light
and message in your instrument
cluster could mean you won't have
the air bags to protect you in the
event of a collision. If the light does
not come on as a bulb check when
the ignition is first turned on, stays
on after you start the engine, or if it
comes on as you drive, have an
Authorized Maserati Dealer service
the air bag system immediately.
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
When
the ORC detects a collision
requiring the advanced front air bags,
it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated
to inflate the advanced front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the dashboard
separate and fold out of the way as
the air bags inflate to their full size.
The air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front
passenger. The advanced front air bag
gas is vented through the vent holes in
the sides of the air bag. In this way,
the air bags do not interfere with your
control of the vehicle.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The ORC unit determines if a side
collision requires the side air bags to
inflate, based on the severity and type
of collision. Based on the severity and
type of collision, the side air bag
inflator on the crash side of the vehicle
may be triggered, releasing a quantity
of nontoxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The side air
bag moves at a very high speed and
with such a high force that it could
injure you if you are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the side air bagBefore Starting

WARNING!
Certain components of this vehicle
such as air bag modules, seat belt
pretensioners, adaptive steering
columns, and button cell batteries
may contain Perchlorate material.
Special handling may apply for service
or vehicle end of life disposal. See

Defroster
Check
operation by selecting
the
defrost mode and place the fan system
on high speed (see “Air Conditioning
Controls” chapter in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
You should be able to feel the air
directed against the windshield and
front side windows. Contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your
vehicle.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor
mats included in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the size of the pedal area and interfere
with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
Tires
•
Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.Before Starting

Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire
must not exceed the load carrying
capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
You will not exceed the tire's load
carrying capacity if you adhere to the
loading conditions, tire size, and cold
tire inflation pressures specified on the
“Tire and Loading Information Label”
and in the “Features and
Specifications” section.
NOTE:
Under a maximum loaded vehicle
condition, gross axle weight ratings
(GAWRs) for the front and rear axles
must not be exceeded.
To determine the maximum loading
conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX lbs/XXX kg” on the tire
and loading information label. The
combined weight of occupants and
cargo/luggage should never exceed
the weight referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load
Limit
• Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX lbs/XXX kg” on the vehicle's
label.
• Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in the vehicle.
• Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from
XXX lbs/XXX kg.
• The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if “XXX amount equals 1,400 lbs/635
kg and there will be five
150 lbs/68 kg passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs/295 kg (since 5 x 150/68 =
750/340, and 1,400/635– 750/340 =
650 lbs/295 kg).
• Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
previous Step.
• If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle. Tires
Driving over rough or damaged road
surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and
other obstacles can cause serious
damage to wheels, tires, and
suspension parts.
This is more likely to occur with
low-profile tires, which provide less
cushioning between the wheel and the
road.
Be careful to avoid road hazards and
reduce your speed, especially if your
vehicle is equipped with low profile
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is
dangerous. Overloading can cause tire
failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase the stopping distance. Use
tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them.Driving

When the tread is worn to one of the
tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
WARNING!
The wet performance (aquaplaning
resistance) will decrease
proportionally to the thickness of the
tread.
Tires Durability The service life of a tire depends on
various factors including, but not
limited to:
• driving style;
• tire pressure;
• distance driven.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire (if equipped)
should be replaced after six years,
regardless of the remaining tread.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in tire failure. Replacement Tires NOTE:
In order to maintain high performance
and safety level under all driving
conditions, Maserati strongly
recommends to use tires equivalent to
the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is
needed.
For the size designation of your tire
see the label on the driver's side rear
door pillar or see table “Wheels” in
section “Features and Specifications”.
The “Load Index” and “Speed
Symbol” for your tire will be found on
the original equipment tire sidewall.
NOTE:
Maserati recommends Maserati
Genuine Tires marked with “MGT”
logo specifically designed for its
models.
It is recommended to replace the two
front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel assembly,
make sure that the wheel’s
specifications (valve, TPMS sensor and
tire) match those of the original
wheels. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
Your Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to provide suggestions as to
the types of tires most suited to the
use foreseen by the Customer.
WARNING!
• Do not use a tire, wheel size or
rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may
change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics,
resulting in altered steering,
handling, and braking operations of
the vehicle. This can cause
unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension
components. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings
appointed for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load
index or capacity, other than what
was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller
load index could result in tire
overloading and failure.
• Always check the maximum speed

rating on the tire sidewall on any
tire on the vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tires. Risk of accident
and serious personal injury due to
excessive speed.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed
capability can result in tire failure.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Winter Tires These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle. Winter or all-season tires can
be identified by the M+S (Mud &
Snow) or 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain
Snow Flake) designation on the tire
sidewall.
Before mounting winter tires, contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer to
receive the technical information
necessary to advise you on wheel and
tire compatibility. As to the type of tires to use, inflation
pressures and winter tires
specifications, carefully follow the
indications as reported in the
“Technical Data” and “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapters in section “Features
and Specifications”.
WARNING!
The standard tires profile and rubber
mixture are optimized for wet and dry
driving conditions. Standard tires may
not prove favorable for snow
conditions.
NOTE:
Snow
tires should have the same load
capacity as original equipment tires
and should be mounted on all four
wheels.
Snow Chains Maserati approved traction devices (or
snow chains) may be used to improve
traction on compacted snow in heavy
snow conditions.
They should not be used in off-road
conditions where there is no
compacted snow.
Maserati tested and recommends to
use traction devices with air suspension system in “Off Road 1” or
“Off Road 2” ride height in order to
increase wheel clearance.
In any case do not exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Please contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for further information.
The chains may be fitted only on rear
wheel tires.
Check the snow chain tension after
driving for a distance of about 55 yd
(50 m) with the chains fitted.
With the snow chains fitted, it is
advisable to deactivate the ESC system
(see chapter “Drive Mode” in this
section).
CAUTION!
• The use of non-recommended snow
chains may damage the vehicle.
• Broken snow chains can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate snow chain breakage.
Replace the damaged parts of the
snow chain before further use.
• Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe
turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.Driving

off until the tire pressure is equal or
above the recommended cold inflation
pressure. Once the low tire pressure
warning light
illuminates, you must
increase the tire pressure to the
recommended cold inflation pressure
in order for the TPMS light
to turn
off. The system will automatically
update and the TPMS light
will turn
off once the system acquires the
correct tire pressure.
The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
acquire and process the updated
setting. WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may occur when
using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped
with a TPMS, as damage to the
sensors may result.
• The system can temporarily
experience radio-electric
interference emitted by devices
using similar frequencies.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem and damage the TPMS internal
sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving
on a significantly
underinflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and may lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gage, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS light
.
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMSDriving
