Seat belts
The vehicle is equipped with seat belts
with automatic retractor for optimal
freedom of movement.
The seat belts are equipped with
electronically-controlled load limiting
devices and pretensioners.
Fastening the seat belts
Take the lower part of the seat belt
from the external side of the seat,
grasp the connection tab and A
buckle the seat belt;pull the seat belt
out until the tab is fully inserted in
the buckle .B
The belt is correctly engaged when
the lock clicks into place. Press the
button to release the seat belts.C
The vehicle is equipped with an
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system,
which warns the driver and the front
passenger when their seat belts are
not fastened by sounding an acoustic
warning at the same time turning on
the warning light on the instrument
panel .
The retractor locking device is
activated whenever the belt is pulled
out too rapidly or in case of sudden
braking or collision.
If the seat belt locks due to too rapid
extraction, allow it to retract a short
distance to disengage the locking
device.
The retractor allows the belt to
automatically fit to the passenger’s
body, allowing him/her to move
freely.
When the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, the retractor may lock: this is
normal
WARNING: Feed the belt back into the
retractor by hand to avoid twisting
and snagging.

Adjusting the seat belt height
(front seats only)
The seat belts height must
only be adjusted when the
vehicle is stationary.
Always adjust the height of the
front seat belts so that they suit the
driver’s and passenger’s height. This
precaution can reduce the risk of
injury in a collision substantially.
Correct adjustment is achieved
when the belt passes about mid-way
between the end of the shoulder and
the neck.
The upper attachment point of
the seat belts is equipped with an
oscillating ring capable of moving
into 4 different positions, thereby
allowing the belt position to be
adjusted.
To move the attachment fitting, press
control .D
After adjustment, always
check that the cursor to
which the oscillating ring
is fixed, is locked into one of the
positions provided. Therefore, with
the handgrip released, push again
downwards to allow the anchoring
device to click into place, in the event
that it has not been released in one
of the positions provided.
Using the rear seat belts
The belts for the rear seats must be
worn as shown in the illustration.
Remember that, in the
event of a violent impact,
the passengers on the rear
seats that are not wearing their seat
belts are not only subject to personal
injuries but they also represent a
danger for passengers sitting in the
front seats.
The seat belts must be worn keeping
your chest in the upright position and
lying against the backrest.
2
20
Load limiting devices
To enhance passive safety, the front
seat belt retractors are equipped
with load limiting devices which
control the seat belt reeling out so
as to adjust the force exerted on the
shoulders while the seat belt is in
restraining mode.
Pretensioners
To further enhance the seat belt
efficiency, the vehicle seat belts are
equipped with pretensioners.
These devices “detect”, by means of a
sensor, that a violent crash is occurring
and retract the belts by a few
centimetres. This ensures that the belt
properly adheres to the occupants’
bodies before its restraining action
starts.
The seat belt locking indicates that
the device has activated; a small
amount of smoke may be released.
The smoke is not toxic and does not
indicate the presence of a fire.
The pretensioners are activated in
the event of an impact of a certain
severity.
The pretensioner only activates when
the seat belt is fastened.
After a pretensioner activation, the
seat belt can be unfastened as usual,
by pressing the button on the buckle.
The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or lubrication.
Any change to its original condition
invalidates its efficiency. If, in the
event of exceptional natural events
(e.g. floods, heavy storms, etc.), the
device has been in contact with water
and sludge, it is mandatory to replace
it.
To help ensure the best protection
from the pretensioners, wear the
belt in such a way that it fits snugly
against your chest and pelvis.
The pretensioners can be
deployed only once and
activate only when the seat
belts are fastened. After activation,
contact the Maserati Service Network
to have the pretensioners replaced
and for properly discarding the old
components.
WARNING: Work on the vehicle which
involves blows, vibrations or localized
heating (over 100°C for 6 hours max.)
in the area of the pretensioners may
damage or activate them: vibrations
due to uneven road surfaces or small
obstacles, such as impacts with kerbs,
do not affect the units. Please contact
the if any Maserati Service Network
interventions must be carried out.
Do not tamper with the
pretensioner components.
Any operation must be
performed only by qualified and
authorised personnel. Always contact
the Maserati Service Network.

22
Do not fasten your seat belt
using the buckle for the
other seat: in the event of an
accident, the lower section of the belt
could press against the upper part of
your stomach rather than the pelvic
area and cause you serious internal
injuries.
It is extremely dangerous
to travel with the seat belt
positioned underneath your
arm. In the event of an accident you
would be thrown forward and would
very probably suffer head and neck
injuries. What is more, if the seat belt
presses against your ribs, it could
cause serious internal injuries.
The seat belt itself must
not be twisted; make sure
that it is snugly fitted to the
driver’s and passenger’s bodies. In the
event of an accident, the restraining
force would not be distributed
evenly across the seat belt and would
consequently cause injuries. The
upper part of the seat belt must pass
over the shoulder and diagonally
across the chest. The lower section
must adhere to your pelvis, not the
stomach, to avoid that you slide
forward in the event of a collision.
Do not use devices (e.g. clamps,
fasteners etc.) to hold the seat belts
away from the passengers’ bodies.
Never carry children on a
passenger’s lap using one
seat belt only to protect both
of them.
If the seat belt underwent
strong mechanical stress, for
example during a collision, it
must be fully replaced together with
its anchorages, the anchoring screws
and the pretensioner. Even if there
are no visible defects, the seat belt
may have lost some of its resistance.
Pregnant women must
carefully observe applicable
local legislation regarding
the use of the seat belts. Always
make sure that the lower section of
the belt is secured well down on the
hips, below the abdominal region of
your body.
How to keep seat belts efficient
1) Always use the seat belts with the
belt completely flat, not twisted;
Make sure that the belt can move
freely without jamming.
2) The seat belts must be replaced
following every pretensioner
activation and whenever the belt
itself shows visible damages or
abrasions.
3) Wash the seat belts by hand using
water and neutral soap, rinse them
and let them dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleaches
or colorants and any other chemical
substance that may weaken the
fibres.
4) Make sure the seat belt retractors
do not get wet: they will operate
properly only if they do not
undergo water infiltration.

23
Safe transport of children
To help ensure optimal protection
in the event of a collision, all the
occupants in the vehicle must travel
seated and protected by appropriate
restraining systems. The seat belts
have been designed to be used by
persons whose physical characteristics
(i.e. age, height, weight) fall within
the limits provided for by established
legislation in each country (for the
European Community: 150 cm (59 in)
in height and 3-years of age
minimum). Anyone who does not
comply with these provisions may
not travel in the passenger seat.
This also applies to children. Their
heads are proportionally heavier and
larger than those of adults, while
their bones and muscles are relatively
undeveloped. To protect them in
the case of a collision, they must use
special restraint or safety systems.
Where provided for by
law (in the European
Community), children under
3 years of age cannot travel in
the vehicle unless using a suitable
restraint system.
Where provided for by
law (in the European
Community), children under
3 years of age who are less than
150 cm (59 in) tall may not travel on
the front seat unless using a suitable
restraint system.
Children must always use
a suitable restraint system
when travelling, preferably
fitted on the rear seat as this is
the safest position in the event of
a collision. In addition, the Isofix
anchorage system can be used on the
rear seats (see page 27).
Children must never travel
seated on a passenger’s lap.
In a collision, a child becomes
so heavy that it is impossible to hold
onto him or her. For example, in the
event of a collision at only 40 km/h
(25 mph), a child weighing 5,5 kg
(12 lb) exerts a force equal to 110 kg
(240 lb) on the arms of the person
carrying him/her. Children must
always be protected by a suitable
restraining system when travelling.
Children who are resting on
the airbag or are too close
to it when it is activated,
may be seriously injured. The airbags
and pretensioners offer suitable
protection for adults and teenagers,
but not for children and babies.
Neither the seat belts or the airbags
are designed for them. Children
and babies must travel in suitable
restraining systems.
2
24
Babies must be supported
completely, including their
head and neck. This is
necessary since a baby’s neck is weak
while their head is proportionally
bigger and heavier in relation to
their body. In a collision, if a baby is
travelling in a rearward-facing child
seat, the impact forces are distributed
through the more solid parts of the
body, i.e. the back and shoulders.
Babies must always be protected by
a suitable restraining system when
travelling.
Children cannot be carried
using a rearward-facing child
seat fitted on a passenger
seat protected by a front airbag,
unless the said airbag is deactivated.
Deactivate the airbag before
fitting a rearward-facing
child seat on the front
passenger seat.
The structure of a child
body is completely different
from that of an adult or a
teenager (whom the seat belts are
designed for). A child’s hips are so
small that seat belt will not stay in
the correct position on them. The belt
may rise up on the child’s stomach
and, in the event of a collision, cause
serious internal injuries. Children
must always be protected by suitable
restraining systems.
If you need to install a
universal child seat on the
front passenger’s seat, this
must be positioned fully back and up,
with the seatback in the fully upright
position. All this is essential to help
ensure optimal child safety.
All minors whose physical
characteristics (i.e. age, height,
weight) fall within the limit values
provided for by established legislation
in each country must be protected
by suitable and approved restraint
or safety systems (e.g. child seats,
cradles, cushions).
We recommend that you always use
homologated child restraint systems.
Follow the instructions that the
Manufacturer of the devices is
required to provide when installing
and using child restraint systems.
The vehicle can be fitted with a
maximum number of three child
safety seats: one on the front
passenger’s seat, which may be a
universal type seat, and two on the
rear seats, which may be Isofix or
universal type seats. Because of the
special design of the rear seats, you
may install child seats of the Maserati
accessory range, which you may order
from the Authorised Service Centres
of the Manufacturer’s Network.

weight;
Group 3 22-36 kg
(49-79 lb)
weight.
As can be seen, the groups partially
overlap and commercially available
systems may cover more than one
weight group.
All the restraining systems must bear
the approval data, together with the
check mark on a plate - which must
never be removed - fixed soundly to
the system itself.
For the purposes of restraint systems,
children weighing more than 36 kg
(79 lb) and taller than 1,50 m (59 in)
are considered equivalent to adults
and wear the seat belts in the normal
way.
The figures are purely
illustrative. Secure the
child seat according to
the instructions provided with the
product.
To ensure an optimal
restraining action of the
child seats, we recommend
that you choose the model that best
suits the shape of your seats and
preferably Isofix-type child seats (see
page 27). It is advisable to try to fit
the child seat in your vehicle before
purchasing it.
To fasten a child seat, follow
the installation instructions
provided by the child seat
manufacturer.
Never unbuckle the seat belt
that retains the child seat
when the vehicle is moving.
In the event of an accident,
an incorrectly fastened child
restraining system increases
the risk of injury.
Never modify or tamper with
the seat belts and the child
restraining systems.
Rearward-facing child seats
must not be used on front
passenger seats equipped
with active passenger’s airbag, as this
could cause serious injuries during
deployment, independently of the
impact severity. Rearward-facing
child seats may be used on the front
passenger seat only in European
vehicle models, that are equipped
with passenger’s airbag deactivation
switch. In this case, the driver
must make sure that the airbag is
deactivated by checking the warning
light on the instrument panel.
The European Community regulations
that govern the transport of children
are found in directive 2003/20/EC.
This directive divides restraint systems
into five groups:
2
26
Groups 0 and 0+
Babies weighing up to 13 kg (27 lb)
must be transported in a rearward-
facing booster baby seat, which
provides head support and thereby
avoids neck strain in the case of sudden
decelerations. The baby seat is secured
by the vehicle seat belts as shown in the
figure, and must restrain the child with
its own incorporated belts.
Deactivate the airbag before
fitting a rearward-facing child
seat on the front passenger
seat. In addition, the front passenger
seat must be positioned fully back and
up, and the seatback must be in the
fully upright position.
Group 1
Children weighing 9 kg (20 lb) and
more may travel in a forward-facing
child seat equipped with a front
cushion.
Child seats equipped with
Isofix latches may be
securely anchored on the
seat without using the vehicle seat
belts.
Group 2
Children weighing 15 kg (33 lb) and
more may travel secured by the
vehicle seat belts. Child seats have
the purpose of positioning the child
correctly with respect to the seat
belts, in such a way that the diagonal
portion of the seat belt closely
adheres to the child’s chest and never
to the neck, and the lap portion
adheres to the pelvis and not to the
abdominal region.
A
2
27
Group 3
Children weighing 22 kg (49 lb) and
more only need a cushion to raise
their position.
Isofix seats
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with anchoring points for
Isofix child seats. This is a new system
complying with European standards
for carrying children.
This system offers a special anchoring
system for child seats, which uses two
metal brackets positioned between A
the seat cushion and the seatback.
These metal brackets are easily
identifiable through the label bearing
the “ISOFIX” logo.
No more than two Isofix type child
seats can be installed on the rear
seats.Only standard type child
seats can be mounted on the front
passenger seat.

Fitting child vehicle seats for
groups 0 and 0+
To carry children belonging whose
weight falls in the 0 and 0+ groups,
the child seat must be installed facing
backwards. Carefully check that the
brackets are properly installed in B
their seatings . The child is then D
secured by the child seat harness .E
- align the anchoring points to the D
brackets then push the child seat B
backward until you hear it click and
lock into place;
- check that the child seat is correctly
locked by trying to move it with
strength; the incorporated safety
mechanisms prevent the child seat
from being improperly fitted if only
one of the attachment fittings is
locked;
- pass the strap underneath the F
rear headrest, and anchor it to the
child seatback and to the bracket of
the vehicle body (see next page).
This way, the child seat is restrained
not only by the brackets , but also by B
the vehicle seat belt and by the upper
strap .F
Always refer to the instruction
manual provided with the child seat
for fitting the vehicle seat belts to the
said child seat correctly.
Fitting child seats type 1
To carrying children whose weight
falls in Group 1, the child seat must be
installed facing forward.

Always pull the seat belt to check that
it is locked in place.
All restraint systems must be used by a
single passenger only: never carry two
children in the same seat.
Always check that the seat belts are
not resting against the child’s neck.
Do not allow the child to sit in
improper positions or to unbuckle
the seat belt /child seat safety harness
while travelling.
Do not carry children in your arms,
including babies. Nobody, however
strong, can hold on to a child in the
event of a collision.
After an accident, always replace the
child seat with a new one.
Below is a summary of the safety
regulations to be followed for
transporting children:
Children whose age, weight and
age are below the minimum limits
established by the laws in force in
the individual countries (European
Community: 3 years, 36 kg/79 lb
and 150 cm/59 in) may only travel
if secured using suitable restraint
systems. We recommend that you
always install Isofix type child seats
on the rear seat, as this is the safest
position in the event of a collision.
If the vehicle is equipped with active
passenger airbags, children may not
travel on the front seat in a rearward-
facing child seat.
When deactivating the passenger-side
airbag, always check that the relative
warning light on the instrument
panel and the LED on the inside roof L
are illuminated, as this indicates that
the airbag has been deactivated.
Always and strictly follow the
instructions provided with the child
seat; the manufacturer is obliged by
law to enclose these instructions with
the product.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
together with the documents and
this owner’s manual. Do not use
a seat which is not provided with
instructions for use.
To ensure an optimal
restraining action of the
child seats, we recommend
that you choose the model that best
suits the shape of your seats and
preferably Isofix-type child seats (see
page 27). It is advisable to try to fit
the child seat in your vehicle before
purchasing it.

Front airbags
The front airbags (driver’s and
passenger’s) are safety devices which
activate in the event of a head-on
collision.
It consists of an airbag that deploys
almost instantaneously and is
contained in a special housing:
- in the centre of the steering wheel
on the driver side;
- in the dashboard with a larger
cushion for the passenger.
The front airbags (driver’s and
passenger’s) are safety devices
designed to protect the occupants
in the event of head-on collisions of
medium-high severity. They act by
placing a cushion (airbag) between
the occupant and the steering wheel
or the dashboard.
In the event of a collision, an ECU
processes the deceleration signals
and activates, when necessary, airbag
deployment.
The airbag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself
between the front passengers
and potentially harmful parts of
the vehicle. The airbags deflate
immediately afterwards.
2
34
In the event of a collision,
any occupants not wearing
their seat belt will be
thrown forward and will come into
contact with the airbag before it
is fully inflated. This reduces the
protection level provided by the
airbag. The front airbags (driver’s
and passenger’s) are not a substitute
for the seat belts but rather act
in combination with them. As a
consequence, the seat belts must
always be worn as provided for by
applicable legislation in Europe and in
most non-European countries.
Remember that, in the
event of a violent impact,
the passengers on the rear
seats that are not wearing the seat
belts are not only subject to personal
injuries but they also represent a
danger for passengers sitting in the
front seats.
Never remove the steering
wheel. If necessary, this
operation should only be
performed by a Maserati Service
Network centre.
In the case of low-severity head on
collisions (in which the retaining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the airbags will
not be activated.
The airbags do not activate in the
event of rear and side collisions, as it
does not provide any supplementary
protection.
Therefore, in these cases, failure
of the airbag to deploy is not an
indication of a system malfunction.
Passenger’s airbag
The passenger’s airbag has been
designed and calibrated to enhance
the protection level provided to a
person wearing the seat belt.
It therefore deploys to such an extent
as to fill most of the space between
the occupant and the dashboard.
SERIOUS DANGER:
the vehicle is
fitted with front
passenger’s airbag. Before fitting
any child seat on the front passenger
seat, always deactivate the front
passenger’s airbag. Even where not
required by law, we recommend for
the safety of adult passengers, that
the airbag be immediately reactivated
as soon as the seat is no longer used
for carrying children.
2
35
Passenger’s airbag manual
deactivation switch
If you have to carry a child on
the front passenger seat, always
deactivate the airbag on the
passenger’s side before installing a
rearward-facing child seat. The device
may be deactivated by operating
(with the ignition key) the relative
key switch located on the right-hand
side of the dashboard. The switch is
accessible only when the door is open.
Vehicles manufactured for the US,
Canadian, Japanese and Australian
markets are not equipped with this
device.
The key switch has two positions:
1) passenger’s airbag active:
(position ON ) the warning
light on the instrument panel
and the inside roof LED are off;
carrying children on the front
passenger seat on rearward
facing child seats is strictly
prohibited;
2) passenger’s airbag deactivated:
Position OFF ) the warning
light on the instrument panel
and the inside roof LED are
illuminated; children may travel
in the front passenger seat if they
are suitably protected by specific
rearward-facing restraint systems.
The warning light on the
instrument panel and the LED on
the inside roof remain permanently
illuminated until the passenger airbag
is reactivated.
WARNING: Should the warning
light (passenger’s airbag off)
malfunction, its failure will be
shown on the display.
WARNING: Deactivation of the front
passenger airbag does not deactivate
the side airbags and the seat belt.
When the door is open, the key
can be inserted or removed in both
positions.
We recommend that you
always fit any child seats
on the rear seat, as this is
the safest position in the event of a
collision.
When the passenger’s airbag
is deactivated, because
you are carrying a person
considered by applicable legislation
to be at risk and who must therefore
be protected by an additional
restraining system, the passenger will
not have the additional protection of
the airbag in the event of a collision.
Only deactivate the airbag
when you are carrying a
person considered at risk
by applicable legislation, and always
reactivate it at the end of the journey.

If the warning light
comes on while driving (fault
signal), stop the vehicle and
contact the Maserati Service Network
to have the system checked.
In the event of a collision
with consequent airbag
deployment, contact the
Maserati Service Network for
replacement of the entire safety
system, electronic control unit, seat
belts, pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
Any and all inspections,
repairs and replacements
regarding the airbag must
be performed by the Maserati Service
Network.
WARNING: To scrap the vehicle, please
contact the Maserati Service Network
in order to have the airbag system
deactivated.
WARNING: If the vehicle is sold, the
new owners must be informed of the
above described instructions for use
and warnings, and they must also be
provided with the “Owner’s Manual”.
General warnings
When the ignition key is
turned to the MAR position,
the warning light
illuminates, but it must turn off after
approx. 5 seconds. If this warning
light does not illuminate, if it remains
permanently on or if it illuminates
while driving, contact the Maserati
Service Network immediately.
Turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light
and the LED A on the inside
roof, above the words “PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF” (when the front airbag
deactivation switch is in the ON
position) will illuminate and flash for
some seconds, to remind the driver
that the passenger’s and rear side
airbags will activate in the event of a
collision. Following this flashing they
must turn off.
2
38
Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering wheel
rim so that, in the case of
activation, the airbag can deploy
without encountering obstacles
which may cause serious injuries.
Do not drive with your body bent
forwards but keep the seatback in
the upright position and fully resting
your back against it.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the steering
wheel or the passenger’s
airbag compartment.
Do not travel with objects
in your lap, in front of your
chest or especially with a
pipe, pencil or other object held in
your mouth; In the event of a collision
with airbag deployment these objects
may cause serious injuries.
Do not cover the front seat
backs with clothes or covers.
Note that with the ignition
key inserted and turned
to MAR, even with the
engine off, the airbags may activate
even if the vehicle is stationary, if
it is run into by another vehicle.
Therefore, even with the vehicle
stationary, children must be secured
by the specific child restraint systems
installed on the passenger seat,
and the passenger airbag must be
deactivated. In addition, the airbags
will not activate in the event of a
collision with the vehicle stationary
and the key removed from the
ignition block; failure of the airbags
to deploy in these circumstances
is not indicative of a system
malfunction.
If the vehicle was stolen or
its theft attempted, if it was
vandalized or involved in
flooding, contact the Maserati Service
Network to have the airbag system
checked.
If incorrect operations are
performed on the electrical
system, the airbag may
activate and cause injuries to anyone
in the vicinity.
The airbags are not a
substitute of the seat belts
but provide supplementary
protection. Moreover, in the event of
head-on collisions at low speed, side
impacts, rear collisions or rollovers,
the passengers are protected only by
the seat belts, which therefore must
always be fastened.
Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam
(by hand or in the automatic
seat wash stations).
Do not hang rigid objects on
the cloth hooks and on the
handholds.
Do not fit sunshades of any
kind on the windows or door
panels.

Care should be taken to
avoid contamination of
the webbing with polishes,
oils and chemicals, and particularly
battery acid. Cleaning may safely
be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced
if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
Unfastening the seat belts
- Press the release button .D
- Guide the seat belt buckle back A
to its rest position.
No modifications or
additions should be made
by the user which will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
Child restraints
Child restraint anchor fittings
Your vehicle has been designed to
accommodate child restraints on
the rearmost seats. When using a
child restraint, read the Installation
Instructions supplied with the child
restraint and follow the directions for
fitment carefully.
The childseat is secured in the vehicle
using the adult seat belt assembly
and the tether strap (provided with
the child seat) is secured to the child
restraint anchor fitting.

ESC system
The vehicle is equipped with ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) anti-
yawing system, which incorporates all
of the vehicle control systems: ABS,
EBD, ASR and MSR.
The system is fitted with a unit that
predicts the vehicle behaviour with
extreme accuracy. The system can
detect when the driver is about to
lose control of the vehicle. In this
case, it can activate the brake calipers
individually and engine control, in
order to create a torque sufficient to
resist the vehicle’s yawing moment.
Activation
The system is designed to ESC
automatically activate every time
the engine is started and can be
deactivated by pressing button for A
about 2 seconds; the warning light
illuminates on the instrument panel
as well as on the display, where it is
accompanied by a specific message.
Press button again to reactivate the A
system.
The amber warning light on the
instrument panel flashes during all
the operating phases.
Fault signals
In the event of a fault, the system is
automatically disabled and cannot
be re-activated. While driving, this
condition is signalled by the amber
warning light , that illuminates
both on the instrument panel as
well as on the multi-function display,
where it is accompanied by the
message “ unavailable go to ESC
dealer”.
When the engine is started, the
system malfunction is indicated by the
illumination of the warning light .
WARNING: In the event of a fault,
and with the system disabled, ESC
the vehicle behaves as if it were not
equipped with this system: however,
we recommend you contact the
Maserati Service Network as soon as
possible to have the system checked.
WARNING: If you have to tow the
vehicle with 2 wheels raised, make
sure the ignition key is in the STOP
position. Otherwise, with the ESC
system active, the control unit will
store a malfunction with consequent
illumination of the warning lights
on the instrument panel and on the
display. Should this occur, contact the
Maserati Service Network to have the
system repaired.
WARNING: In low- and medium-grip
conditions (e.g., rain, snow, ice, sand,
etc.) it is advisable not to activate
SPORT ESC mode, even with the
system active.
WARNING: Driving on parabolic curves
will deactivate the system.
2
44
ASR system
The system avoids skidding of the ASR
driving wheels during acceleration
by means of the engine control unit
(spark advance delay, engine throttle
opening reduction and fuel injection
cut) and the rear brakes.
The system is designed to ASR
enhance vehicle stability and active
safety while driving, specially under
the following conditions:
- internal wheel skidding on curves
due to the load dynamic variations
or excessive acceleration;
- excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to the road
surface conditions;
- acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy road surfaces;
- in the event of loss of grip on wet
roads (aquaplaning).
The system works in combination ASR
with the electronic suspension
control system: in normal conditions
(SPORT mode off), stability in low and
medium grip conditions has priority,
while with SPORT mode active, the
system favours traction, thereby
optimising vehicle performance on
dry asphalt.
System activation
The system is automatically ASR
activated every time the engine is
started and can be deactivated by
pressing button (see page 43) for A
about 2 seconds; the warning light
illuminates on the instrument
panel and on the display, where it is
accompanied by a specific message.
Press button again to reactivate the A
system.
The amber warning light on the
instrument panel flashes during all
the operating phases.
Malfunction indicators
In the event of a fault, the system is
automatically disabled and cannot
be re-activated. While driving, this
condition is signalled by the amber
warning light on the multi-
function display, which illuminates
together with the message “ASR
unavailable go to dealer”. The
warning light illuminates on the
instrument panel.
MSR function (engine braking
torque adjustment)
The system also controls the ASR
engine braking torque when the
accelerator pedal is released under
low grip conditions (e.g., snow, ice
etc.): in these conditions, the high
braking torque provided by the
engine may cause instability of the
vehicle.
The system, using the same sensors
as the ABS, detects skidding of one
or both driving wheels when the
accelerator is released and opens the
motor-driven throttle of the engine
fuel system thereby reducing the
braking torque and re-establishing
the maximum grip conditions for the
driving wheels.
WARNING: The maximum
deceleration that can be obtained
with the engine brake always
depends on the tyre grip on the road
surface. Snow or ice obviously reduce
grip values.
2
45
ABS, EBD and HBA
systems
The vehicle is equipped with ABS
(Anti-lock Braking System) and EBD
(Electronic Brake force Distribution)
systems, which enhance the braking
system performance by means of the
ABS system sensors and ECU.
In the event of emergency braking
or braking on slippery road surfaces
(e.g. snow, ice etc.) the ABS, in
combination with the standard
braking system, allows the driver
to apply maximum braking force
without causing the wheels to lock
and consequently losing control of
the vehicle.
The system uses an electronic control
unit that processes the signals coming
from 4 sensors fitted on the 4 wheels.
When a wheel tends to lock, the
sensor warns the ECU, which activates
an electro-hydraulic unit that
modulates the pressure applied to
the brake calipers; the driver will feel
a “pulsing” sensation on the brake
pedal which is completely normal.
To complete the action of the braking
assistance systems, the vehicle is
equipped with HBA (Hydraulic Brake
Assistance) device, which helps the
driver during emergency braking.
In the event of a critical situation,
where the vehicle must stop in
the shortest possible distance,
the driver usually depresses the
brake pedal quickly, but often not
strongly enough: this increases the
braking distance. This system has
been designed to solve this problem
and acts by applying the maximum
braking force during emergency
braking, in order to stop the vehicle in
the shortest possible distance.
The system recognises the emergency
condition by analysing some
parameters, such as the pressure on
the brake servo, the wheel speed and
activation of the third stop. The ABS
control unit cross-checks this data and
substitutes the driver by activating
the braking system’s full power and so
ensures optimal braking performance
in the shortest possible distance.
In the event of a failure the system
will be deactivated, but this will not
affect the efficiency of the standard
braking system.
The failure will be indicated by the
illumination of the amber warning
light with the letters ABS on the
instrument panel.
In this case we recommend that you
contact the nearest Centre of the
Maserati Service Network in order to
identify the fault as soon as possible,
by means of the system self-diagnostic
function.
The vehicle must be
equipped only with wheels,
tyres and brake pads of
the type and make approved by the
Factory for this model.
Despite the fact that this
device considerably increases
the safety levels, it is
essential to always drive with the
greatest care when the road surface is
wet, covered with snow or ice.
2
46
The vehicle is equipped
with an Electronic Brake
force Distributor (EBD). The
warning light illuminates when
the engine is running to indicate
an EBD system malfunction: in this
case, sharp braking may cause an
early locking of the rear wheels, and
the vehicle may skid. Drive with the
greatest care and have the system
immediately checked by the nearest
Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
The failure warning light
usually illuminates
with the engine running to
indicate a malfunction in the ABS
system only. In this case, the braking
system will remain fully functioning,
but will not use the ABS. In these
conditions, also the EBD system
efficiency may be affected. Drive
with the greatest care in order to
avoid sudden braking and have the
system immediately checked by the
nearest Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
If the low brake fluid
warning light illuminates
when the engine is running,
stop the vehicle and check the brake
fluid level immediately. If fluid is
below the minimum level, top up
with the recommended fluid and
contact the Maserati Service Network
immediately. Brake fluid leaks affect
the operation of the braking systems,
both the standard one and the one
equipped with ABS.
The system performance in
terms of active safety is not
a reason for the driver to run
unnecessary risks. The driving style
shall always be suited to weather
conditions, range of visibility and
traffic.
The maximum deceleration
that can be obtained always
depends on the tyre grip on
the road surface. With snow or ice on
the road the grip is obviously reduced
and the braking distance is very high,
even with the ABS system.

TPMS – Tyre pressure
monitoring system
(optional equipment)
On request, the vehicle may come
equipped with a system that monitors
the tyre pressure by means of special
sensors fitted inside the wheel rims,
in position with the inflation valve.
These sensors transmit a signal that
is detected by the antennas installed
on the vehicle body behind the gravel
guards and connected to the ECU.
WARNING: The system can
momentarily experience radio-electric
interference emitted by devices using
similar frequencies.
The ECU processes this information
and, via the CAN line, transmits a
series of tyre pressure data and system
errors, if any, to the instrument panel.
The display may show the information
received by means of specific screen
pages, which can be recalled selecting
the “Tyre Pressure” page.
The system warns the driver
that the tyre pressure has
decreased. This warning
does not exempt the driver from
periodically checking the tyres and
from complying with the prescribed
tyre pressure levels.
WARNING: The system stores the
tyre pressures as a reference rate,
therefore tyres must be inflated to
the prescribed pressure.
System calibration
The system must be calibrated:
- after replacing one or more tyres;
- after inverting the wheels;
- if you are not sure whether at least
one of the operations above was
performed.
If you simply corrected the tyre
inflation pressure, you do not need to
recalibrate the system.
To calibrate the system, select the
screen page “TPMS calibration” by
pressing the “MODE” button . A
Subsequently press and hold button
“+” to activate the calibration B
procedure. This operation may be
performed with the key at and MAR
the engine off. The system will take a
few seconds to complete the process,
and during this time the green symbol
and the message “Calibration
started” will be displayed.
1
2
48
If the user recalls the information
page showing the pressure levels
of each tyre, dashes “--.--“ will be
displayed in the place of the values.
WARNING: The system will not
perform calibration if the pressure is
below 2 bar.
Viewing messages on the
display
By pressing the “MODE” button A
repeatedly (see on page 74), the user
can access the information page that
shows the pressure values of each tyre
(“Tyre Pressure” page).
If system faults are found when
this page is recalled, the same page
will be replaced by an information
message on the problem found. Also
in this case, the information message
will be displayed for a preset time.
When the display time has elapsed,
the “Tyre Pressure” screen page
becomes available again, but the
summary symbol for the malfunction
will remain displayed in the dedicated
area, until the malfunction is
corrected.
Normal conditions
By pressing the specific button for
quick information display (“MODE”
button pressed briefly), the user can A
access the information page (screen
page ), which displays the pressure 1
levels for each tyre.
2
49
Low tyre pressure conditions
The system includes two alarm
thresholds for monitoring the tyre
pressure, which respectively activate
a “check tyre pressure” indicator light
and a “low tyre inflation pressure”
warning light, this last one will also
warn the driver to stop driving.
The system also monitors the sudden
loss of pressure (punctured tyre) of
one or more tyres.
The first alert (check tyre pressure
indicator light) illuminates when
the pressure of one or more tyres
falls below the low-pressure alarm
threshold, corresponding to 90%
of the pressure level set at the
calibration.
The second warning alert (the low
inflation pressure tyre warning light
– do not drive on message) activates
when the pressure of one or more
tyres is below the minimum pressure
alarm threshold, corresponding to
83% of the pressure level set at the
calibration.
A tyre puncture (a sudden loss of
pressure) is signaled when the system
detects a loss of pressure of one or
more tyres measured within a set
time frame (0.35 bar/min). In this last
case, ie a tyre puncture detection,
the system activates the low inflation

Parking sensors
To assist the driver during parking
manoeuvres, the vehicle is equipped
with four sensors housed in the rear
bumper and four sensors in the front
bumper.
During parking manoeuvres, the
parking sensors provide the driver
with information on the distance
between obstacles found behind
and in front of the vehicle. The
information about the obstacle
distance is given to the driver by
means of acoustic and visual signals.
The acoustic signals generated by
the system add to the driver’s field of
vision, allowing him to avoid hitting
any obstacles during manoeuvres.
However, the driver remains
responsible during parking
manoeuvres and in other
potentially dangerous situations. The
system has actually been designed
only as a supplementary aid during
parking manoeuvres, since it allows
the driver to detect obstacles outside
his field of vision.
Extreme caution is required
in case of obstacles whose
shape and volume are
susceptible to be incorrectly detected.
When starting the vehicle after
parking, these obstacles might not be
detected if they are already close to
the bumper.
Always stop when the acoustic signal
becomes steady.
Rear four-sensor system
enabling/disabling
Rear sensors are automatically
enabled when the key is turned to
MAR, whenever the reverse gear is
engaged: an acoustic signal informs
the driver that the system is enabled.
Under these conditions, the system
displays the detection areas of vehicle
rear side on instrument panel, and
it starts emitting acoustic signals
as soon as an obstacle is detected.
When reverse gear is disengaged,
rear sensors are active for another
10 seconds or until the speed limit of
approx. 10 km/h (6 exceeded. mph) is
Stop & Go function
This function is enabled by the
manufacturer and it can be disabled
by the Multi Media System: access the
“Configuration” menu, select “Define
vehicle parameters” option, select
“Stop & Go parking sensors” option,
and set on “Deactivate”. When vehicle
speed is equal to or lower than 10 km/h
(6 mph), this function helps the driver
under special traffic conditions as it
signals that the vehicle before you is at
a min. distance.

53
Eight-sensor system with
enabled Stop & Go function
When the Stop & Go function is
enabled, all sensors are automatically
enabled with the key set to , MAR
but they are not displayed on the
instrument panel. When the reverse
gear is engaged or an obstacle is
detected, the corresponding detection
areas are displayed on the instrument
panel. As soon as the reverse gear is
disengaged, all sensors are still active:
the rear ones for approx. 10 seconds
or until a speed of approx. 10 km/h
(6 mph) is exceeded, and the front
ones until a speed of approx. 10 km/h
(6 mph) is exceeded. When driving
at a speed equal to or lower than 10
km/h (6 mph), as soon as the system
detects an obstacle, the front sensor
detection areas are displayed, and the
acoustic signals start to be emitted. If
no obstacle is detected for 10 seconds,
the displayed information disappear.
Front sensors can be temporarily
disabled by pressing push-button A;
system will emit an acoustic signal, and
the push-button LED will turn off. If
push-button A is pressed again, the
acoustic signal and the LED coming on
will warn the driver that sensors are
now active again.
Eight-sensor system with
disabled Stop & Go function
With the Stop & Go function disabled
through the Multi Media System,
rear sensor enabling/disabling logic
is kept unchanged. As for front
sensors, the Stop & Go function signal
status will not be changed if the
push-button is pressed, and front A
sensors will be active and displayed
on the instrument panel until speed
will be equal to or lower than 10
km/h (6 mph). Once this speed limit
is exceeded, if vehicle slows down
below 10 km/h (6 mph), sensors will
not be enabled. To enable them
again, press push-button .A
WARNING: Front sensors are enabled
only when push-button LED is A
illuminated. In addition, any pressing
of push-button when vehicle speed A
is above 10 km/h (6 mph) will be
ignored by the system.
2
54
Obstacle signalling
The acoustic signals are emitted
by two buzzers, one under the
dashboard and one in proximity of
the luggage shelf.
When the obstacle is located at
a distance of less than 35 cm (14
in) from the bumper, the beep is
continuous. The warning beep stops
immediately if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle increases.
The tone cycle is constant if the
distance measured by the central
sensors remains unaltered, while if
this occurs with the lateral sensors,
the signal stops after approximately
7 seconds, to prevent for example
continuous beeps in the event of
manoeuvres alongside walls.
The distance from the obstacles can
also be graphically shown on the
instrument panel display by means
of an image that shows the vehicle
surrounded by explanatory symbols
of the distance (maximum/average/
minimum) and the position (front/
rear/central/side) of the obstacle
detected.
The colour represents the distance,
while the field represents the
position. The green colour represents
the maximum distance detected, the
yellow colour the medium distance
and the red colour the minimum one.
If the vehicle is equipped only with
rear sensors, the front sensors are not
shown in the image.
If the vehicle is equipped with front
and rear sensors, the rear sensors are
not shown in the image if only the
front sensors are active.
For the system to operate
correctly the sensors
positioned on the bumper
must be kept clean (remove any mud,
dirt, snow or ice).
Cleaning the sensors
When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry,
rough or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with
clean water, possibly with car
shampoo added.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensor area, please contact
exclusively the Maserati Service
Network. Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensor
operation.
2
55
Sensor range
The sensors allow the system to
monitor the front and rear of the
vehicle; they are positioned so as to
monitor the central and lateral zones
at the front and at the rear of the
vehicle.
In the event of an obstacle located in
a central area, this will be detected
at distances of less than 0,9 m (1 yd)
at the front and 1,50 m (1.6 yd) at
the rear, depending on the type of
obstacle and its dimensions.
If the obstacle is located in a lateral
position, it will be detected at
distances of less than 0,8 m (0.9 yd).
2
56
Failure indicators
The system ECU checks all the
components every time reverse gear is
engaged.
In the event that the parking
sensors fail, the relative warning
light illuminates on the display,
accompanied by the message
“Parking help unavailable”.
In the event of a failure signal, stop
the vehicle and turn the ignition key
to . Then try cleaning the sensors STOP
or moving the vehicle away from
any possible ultrasound sources (e.g.
pneumatic truck brakes or pneumatic
hammers) and rotate the ignition
key to the position. So, if the MAR
operating failure cause has been
eliminated, system full operation will
be recovered. If however, the failure
beep continues, contact the Maserati
Service Network to have the system
checked.
During parking manoeuvres,
always be extremely careful
with obstacles that might be
located above or below the sensors.
In fact, in certain circumstances,
objects located near the rear of
the vehicle are not detected by
the system and therefore could
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.
The signals transmitted
by the sensors can also be
altered by damage to the
sensors or by dirt, snow or ice on the
latter or even by ultrasound systems
(e.g. pneumatic truck brakes or
pneumatic hammers) in the vicinity.
The driver is fully
responsible for parking
and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres. During these
manoeuvres, always make sure there
are no people (especially children) or
animals in the manoeuvring area. The
parking sensors must be considered
an aid for the driver who, in any
case, must always take care during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even at low speeds.

Fuel cut-out inertia
switch
The vehicle is equipped with a safety
switch which activates in the event of
a collision, cutting off the fuel supply
and consequently causing the engine
to stop. It also prevents fuel spreading
if the fuel lines are damaged during
the accident.
Activation of the safety switch is
signalled by the illumination of the
warning light on the display.
The switch is positioned underneath
the front left-hand seat.
After a collision, if you smell
fuel or note any leakage
from the fuel supply system,
do not reactivate the switch in order
to prevent any fire risks.
The activation of the inertia switch
causes all the doors and the luggage
compartment to unlock and in the
internal dome light and the four
direction indicators to turn on.
Resetting the switch
Turn the ignition key to position STOP.
Check that there is no leakage from
the fuel system.
If no leaks are found, reset the inertia
switch which stops the fuel pump
operation, by pressing button on A
the switch.
Turn the ignition key to position , MAR
wait a few seconds and move it to
ACC.
Check that the warning light on
the display is off.
Check once again that there are no
fuel leaks.
Note: Please contact the Maserati
Service Network.

Customer Service
If you have any problems with
configuring and programming the
HomeLink system or if you would
like to know what devices can be
connected to it, call the toll-free
number 008000 466 345 65 or visit the
Web site: www.eurohomelink.com.
Safety Precautions
For using the HomeLink feature,
follow the instructions and safety
indications given in the User Manual
that the manufacturer must provide
together with the device to be
controlled. If you do not have this
manual, request it from the supplier.
Before opening or closing a gate or
door make sure that the procedure
can be performed in thorough safety,
i.e. make sure that you can see the
whole range of action of the gate or
door and also check that there are
no persons, animals or other objects
within this range.
General information
While programming HomeLink, it
is advisable to disconnect the drive
motor of the gate/door to be remote-
controlled, since the numerous driving
pulses launched for this operation
might damage it.
If the battery fails or is disconnected,
the stored settings are not deleted.
If the gate/door was manufactured
prior to 1982 (not equipped with
safety systems or automatic stop in
the event of an obstacle in the range
of action), the gate/door cannot be
controlled by HomeLink.
For more information in this regard,
please contact the Customer Service.

Should the so programmed HomeLink
not activate the system to be
controlled, this may be due to the
fact that this system is controlled by
a remote control with an alternate
code.
An alternate activation code can be
recognised in the following ways:
- consulting the instruction manual
provided with the device to be
controlled;
- despite the fact that the HomeLink
programming procedure has been
carried out correctly, the HomeLink
function does not activate the
device;
- holding the dedicated HomeLink
button pressed down, the LED
briefly flashes fast and then
remains on for 2 seconds; this
sequence is repeated for about 20
seconds.
Programming devices controlled by
alternate code
- Locate the specific setting button
by consulting the user manual of
the system to be controlled. This
button is normally located on the
motor which drives the device.
- Press the button and, in normal
conditions, a LED will illuminate.
WARNING: normally, after this
operation you have 30 seconds to
start the next one.
- Briefly press the HomeLink button
you have chosen to control the
device.
- Press it a second time; when it
is released the operation should
be completed. For some types of
motors, the button might have to
be pressed a third time.
Reprogramming an individual
button
If you wish to program activation
of a new system on an already used
HomeLink button, proceed as follows:
- press and hold the HomeLink
button selected;
- after about 20 seconds, the LED
T starts flashing; hold the button
down;
- hold the original remote control of
the device to be controlled close to
the HomeLink control panel
(0-30 cm/0-12 in);
- press and hold the button on the
original remote control;
- successful programming is signalled
by the LED flashing faster; T
- release both buttons.
The system previously programmed
on HomeLink has thus been replaced
with the new programming and is
ready to be used.
This operation has no impact on the
other HomeLink buttons.

Keys
The Maserati CODE system
In order to increase protection against
theft, the vehicle is equipped with
an electronic engine immobilizer
system (Maserati CODE), which is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
Each starter key contains an electronic
device which transmits a code signal
to the Maserati CODE control unit,
and engine ignition is enabled only
if the key code is recognised by the
system.
Two keys are supplied with the
vehicle.
The key is used for:
- starting the engine;
- activating the central door locking
system;
- deactivating/activating the
passenger airbag (on vehicles
equipped with manual deactivation
system);
- opening the luggage compartment
lid electrically;
- activating/deactivating the alarm
system;
- locking/unlocking the glove
compartment.
Operation
Each time the ignition key is removed
the from the position, the STOP
protection system activates the engine
immobilizer.
When the engine is started and the
key is turned to :MAR
1) If the code is recognized, the
warning light CODE on the
instrument panel turns off within a
second, while the EOBD warning
light, once the ECU diagnosis has
been completed, goes off after about
four seconds. In these conditions,
the protection system recognises the
key code and deactivates the engine
immobilizer. When the key is turned
to , the engine starts.AVV
2) If the CODE warning light
remains on and the EOBD
warning light goes off after four
seconds (ECU diagnostics) and
illuminates again immediately
afterwards, the code has not
been recognised and the message
“Electronic key not recognised” is
displayed. If this occurs, turn the key
to and then back to ; If STOP MAR
the immobilizer stays on, try with the
other keys. If you still cannot start
the engine, try the emergency start
procedure and contact the Maserati
Service Network.

Electronic alarm system
device
The electronic alarm system device
performs the following functions:
- remote control of the centralised
door locking/unlocking system;
- perimeter surveillance, detecting
the opening of doors, engine/
luggage compartment lids;
- motion surveillance, detecting
intrusion in the passenger
compartment;
- vehicle movement surveillance.
WARNING: The engine immobilizer
operation is guaranteed by the
Maserati CODE system, which is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed from the
ignition switch.
Activation
Press button on the key to activate A
the alarm system:
- the direction indicators flash once;
- the system beeps;
- the red LEDs on the front door
panels flash;
- the vehicle centralised door locking

When the electronic alarm is active,
the user may request the luggage
compartment opening; in this case,
the motion and inclination sensors are
temporarily deactivated.
If the luggage compartment lid
is then closed, the sensors will be
reactivated.
Should the direction indicators flash
9 times when you activate the alarm
system, this means that one of the
doors or lids is not properly closed
and therefore is not protected by
the perimeter surveillance. Check
for correct closing of doors, engine/
luggage compartment lids and close
the open one without deactivating
the alarm system: the direction
indicators flashing once indicate
that now the door, engine/luggage
compartment lids are closed properly
and are protected by the perimeter
surveillance.
WARNING: If the direction indicators
flash 9 times when the alarm system
is activated with doors, front and
rear lids properly closed, this means

Hot-mode strategy
In the event that the engine oil or
coolant temperature is too high or
both, the gearbox system reduces the
maximum engine speed to 4.000 RPM.
Therefore, upshifting will occur at this
limit.
This strategy does not apply to
downhill driving, so as to always
have the efficiency of engine braking
together with the standard braking
system.
ESC system operations
In order to prevent unstable driving
conditions, the ESC system may
request the gearbox system to
deactivate gearshifting. The system
handles this request depending on
the gear engaged and on the RPM,
and decides whether to accept it or
not.
Cruise Control
With the Cruise Control function, the
gearbox system selects such settings
as to provide enhanced comfort and
fuel-economy.
Malfunction indication
The malfunctions indicated are
attributable to two causes:
- gearbox failure;

Safe driving
Although the vehicle is fitted with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver’s conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Below are some simple rules
for travelling safely in different
conditions. You will be, no doubt,
familiar with some of them but, in
any case, it would be useful to read
them carefully.
Before you drive
- Make sure that the lights and
headlights are working properly.
- Adjust the position of the seat,
steering wheel and rear-view
mirrors so that you have the best
driving position.
- Check that nothing (e.g. mat
covers, etc.) is blocking the pedals.
- Carefully arrange any objects in the
luggage compartment, to prevent
sudden braking from jerking them
forward.
- Avoid heavy meals before a trip.
A light snack helps to keep your
reflexes sharp. In particular, avoid
drinking alcohol.
- Remember to read, at regular
intervals, the instructions contained
in the chapter “Before a trip”, in
this section.
