wish to be performed. If the vehicle
has had an accident or work done that
is not indicated on the maintenance
log, please communicate this to the
service advisor.
Optimize the Requests If there are a number of items
needing attention, it is advisable to
discuss this with your service advisor to
agree on the order of priorities.
At many Authorized Dealers/Service
Centers , it is possible to obtain a
loaner vehicle or a rental vehicle at a minimal daily charge. If you need a
rental vehicle, it is advisable to make
these arrangements prior to the visit,
for example when you call to set the
appointment.

satisfaction with the products and
services.

Child-Protection Door Lock
System — Rear Doors To provide a safer environment for
small children sitting in the rear seats,
the rear doors are equipped with a
child-protection door lock system.
Engage or Disengage the
Child-Protection Door Lock
• Open the rear door.
• Insert the tip of the emergency key
into the lock and rotate to the lock
or unlock position.
• Repeat the first two steps on the
opposite rear door.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in
a collision. Remember that the rear
doors can only be opened from the outside when the child-protection
locks are engaged (locked).
NOTE:
For
emergency exit from the rear seats
when the child-protection door lock
system is engaged, manually raise the
door lock knob to the unlocked
position, roll down the window, and
open the door using the outside door
handle.
Soft Door Close System (if
equipped) This system makes doors easier to shut
without having to slam if you do not
get it closed the first time. It increases
the vehicle's safety and comfort, in
particular for children in the back seat,
it is not necessary to slam the door
and it also prevents the risk of
traveling with the door ajar.
The system uses a sensor to detect the
door ajar and an electric actuator to
close it. The sensor detects your
attempt to close the door and once
the latch catches the handle the
electric actuator pulls the door firmly
bringing the door to the fully closed
position.
During the soft closing phase
operated by the system, it is possible to intervene manually by opening or
closing the door.
If you are pushing the door hard
enough to close just like a regular
one, the system still works, but only to
check whether the door is properly
closed.
WARNING!
The system works properly if the ajar
door has a gap , between exterior
door panel surface and exterior
bodyshell surface in the latch area , of
max 0.23 in (6 mm). In the presence of
higher gap, the system is not able to
close the door with the risk of
travelling with the door not
completely closed.Before Starting

automatically releases and closes the
power trunk lid when you place your
foot in the area under the rear
bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3
ft (1 m) of the power trunk lid.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the power trunk lid, stand
behind the vehicle, near the lid, and
move your foot under the bumper as if to kick something. Do not place
your foot too close to the bumper or
touch the underbody.
WARNING!
• Pay careful attention to the exhaust
tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
• When it is not necessary to open the
Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free with the
Hands Free mode, make sure the key
fob results outside the range of use
(3.3 ft/1 m). Otherwise, the Power
Trunk Lid/Hand Free can be opened
accidentally by an unintentional
movement of the foot.

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.
• Two people should never be belted
into a single seat belt. People belted
together can crash into one another
in an accident, hurting one another
severely. Never use a lap/shoulder belt for more than one person.
• Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers
not wearing the seat belts are not
only subject to personal injuries but
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat occupants.
Three-Point Seat Belts Use Instructions
•
Enter the
vehicle and close the door.
Sit back and adjust the seat.
• The seat belt latch plate is on the
rear door pillar, above the seat on
the external side.
• Hold the latch plate and pull the belt
across you, make the belt go around
your body and when the belt is long
enough to fit, insert the latch plate
into the buckle until you hear a
“click.” WARNING!
• The seat belts height must be
adjusted only with the vehicle
stationary.
• Do not bring sharp edges in contact
with a seat belt. This could reduce
their initial strength and cause them
to tear in the event of a crash.
• If a seat belt has been brought in
contact with a sharp edge, or has
been used to pin something to it,
have it immediately replaced by our
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
• A belt that is latched into the wrong
buckle will not protect you properly.
The lap portion of the belt could
ride too high on your body, possibly
causing internal injuries. Always
latch your belt into the
corresponding buckle.
• A seat 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 snugly.
• 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.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and
lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. 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 passenger’s
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 Height
Adjustment
WARNING!
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly
could make your injuries in a
collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt.
Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep
your passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if
any slack so that it is comfortable
and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
• Always make all seat belt height
adjustments 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 that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The beltBefore Starting
