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

should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
Push the indicated button above the
shoulder belt guide to release the
anchorage, then move the belt slider
up or down to the fixed position that
fits you best.
WARNING!
After the adjustment, always check
that the slider to which the oscillating
ring is fixed, is locked into one of the
positions provided. With the handgrip
released, push again downward to
allow the anchoring device to click
into place, in the event that it has not
been released in one of the positions
provided.
When you release the anchorage try
to
move the
belt slider up and down to make sure that it is locked in
position.
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.
Passengers Seat Belts All 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” under
“Child Restraint Systems” in this
section. If the passenger seat position should
not be used to accommodate a child
restraint system, 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 who are not wearing the
seat belts are not only subject to
personal injury but 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.

automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system that allows to adjust separately
the temperature and the airflow
distribution in the left and in the right
zone of the passenger compartment,
according to the requests of the driver
and the front passenger.

of the windshield and side windows.
The best efficacy in preventing
fogging is obtained by selecting the
“AUTO” function, described later.
A dual zone solar sensor helps to
achieve the best comfort in presence
of solar radiation.
Upon request, the vehicle can be
equipped with an additional
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system installed in the central console,
between the front seats. The
additional dual-zone module, can be
operated by the rear passengers (see
“Four-zone Climate Control
(optional)” in this chapter), by means
of the control panel at the end of
central console, but also by the front passengers using the soft-keys on
MTC+ display.
