2 22 Seat belts Seat belts The vehicle is equipped with seat belts with automatic retractor designed for maximum freedom of movement. The seat belts are provided with electronically-operated pretensioners. Moreover, the lower attachment points are connected directly to the seat to help provide maximum protection. Fastening the seat belts Extract the lower section of the seat belt from the outer side of the seat and secure it by holding the fastening tang A, and pulling out the belt until the tang inserts into the buckle lock B .The belt is correctly engaged when the lock clicks into position. To release the belts, press button C .If the driver’s belt is not fastened, when the ignition key is turned to MAR the warning light < on the instrument panel comes on and a buzzer sounds for about 8 seconds. The retractor locking device is activated whenever the belt is pulled out too rapidly or in case of sudden braking or collision.If the 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 free movement.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.ACB
2 Seat belts 23 Adjusting the front seat belts height (front seats only) The seat belts height must be adjusted with the vehicle 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.The 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, allowing the belts position to be adjusted.To move the attachment fitting, press control D . After the 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 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. Using the rear seat belts The belts for the rear seats must be worn as shown in the figure. 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 injury 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.When the rear seats are not occupied, place the seat belt buckles in their respective seatings. D
2 24 Seat belts Load limiting devices To increase passive safety levels, the front seat belt retractors are equipped with a load limiting device designed to control the belt reeling out, so that the force exerted on the shoulders while the seat belt is in restraining mode can be suitably adjusted. Pretensioners To make the front seat belts still more efficient, the vehicle is equipped with pretensioners.These devices are designed to "detect", by means of a sensor, that the vehicle is in a collision and retract the belts by a few centimetres. This helps ensure that the belt perfectly adheres to the occupants’ bodies before starting its restraining action.The belt locking indicates that the device has been activated; a small amount of smoke may be visible. The smoke is not toxic and is not indicative of fire.After the 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.WARNING: Tampering with the device will compromise its efficient operation. If, as a result of exceptional natural circumstances (floods, heavy seas, etc.), the device has been in contact with water and sludge, it is absolutely essential to replace it.To ensure the best protection from the pretensioner, secure the belt snugly across your chest and pelvis. The pretensioners will operate only once, and will activate even if the belts are not fastened. Therefore, they must be replaced by your local Authorized Maserati Dealer after operation. The units have a ten year service life from the date of manufacture; they must be replaced when their service life is near to expiry. 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 mounting the pavement unintentionally, for instance, should not affect the units. Contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer for any intervention that may be required. It is strictly forbidden to remove or tamper with the pretensioner components. Any intervention must be carried out only by qualified and authorized personnel. Always contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer.
2 Seat belts 25 General warnings for using the seat belts The driver is obliged by law to respect and obey, also in relation with the passengers carried, the provisions of local legislation regarding the compulsory use of seat belts.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.When travelling with one or more child seats fitted on the rear seat of the vehicle, the tables must be in closed position.When the vehicle is moving and the table/s is/are open, passengers traveling in the rear seats must fasten their seat belts. Travelling without the seat belt fastened increases the risk of injury in the event of a collision. Always fasten the seat belts. Travelling without the seat belts fastened increases the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision, even with the airbags. In the event of a collision, the seat belts reduce the possibility of the vehicle's occupants being thrown against the structures of the passenger compartment or out of the vehicle. The airbags are designed to work together with the seat belts, not to substitute them. The front airbags only intervene in the event of certain head-on collisions of medium or high intensity. They will not be activated if the vehicle rolls over, or in the event of rear bumps or minor frontal collisions.
2 26 Seat belts Do not fasten your seat belt using the buckle lock 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, causing serious internal injuries.It is extremely dangerous to travel with the belt positioned underneath your arm. In the event of an accident, you would be thrown forward and would likely suffer head and neck injuries. Additionally, if the belt presses against your ribs, it could cause serious internal injuries.The belt must not be twisted; make sure that it is snugly fitted to the driver's and passenger's bodies. In fact, in an accident, the restraining force would not be distributed evenly along the belt and would consequently cause injuries. The upper part of the 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 (clips, fastenings etc.) that prevent the seat belts from laying close to the passengers' bodies.Do not carry children on a passenger’s lap using only one seat belt for protecting both of them.If the seat belt has been suffered a heavy mechanical stress, for example during a collision, it must be completely replaced together with its anchorages, the screws fastening the said anchorages and the pretensioner. In fact, even if there are no visible defects, the resistance level offered by the seat belt could be reduced.Pregnant women must scrupulously observe local legislation regarding the use of seat belts. Make sure, in any case, that the lower section of the belt is positioned well down on the hips, below the abdominal region of the body. How to keep seat belts efficient 1) Always use the seat belts keeping the belt perfectly flat, not twisted; make sure the belt can slide 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 colourants and any other chemical substance that could weaken the belt fibers. 4) Make sure the retractors do not get wet: as they will not operate properly.
2 Safe transport of children 27 Safe transport of children For the best protection in the event of a collision, all the vehicle's occupants must travel seated and protected by all the suitable restraining systems. The seat belts are designed to be used by persons whose physical characteristics (age, height, weight) are provided for by established legislation in each country. Anyone who does not comply with these provisions may not travel in the front 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 help protect them in case of a collision, they must use special restraint or safety systems. We recommend that you always carry children in the specific restraining systems installed on the rear side seats, as this is the best place in the event of a collision. No child under 12 should travel in the passenger seat. No child seat can be installed in the rear, central seat. When travelling with one or more child seats fitted on the rear seat of the vehicle, the tables must be in closed position.Children must never travel seated on a passenger's lap. A child weighs very little until a collision occurs! 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 25 mph (40 km/h), a child weighing 12 lb (5.5 kg) exerts a force equal to 240 lb (110 kg) 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 are designed to 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.Babies must be supported completely, including their head and neck. This is necessary since the babies' 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 seat, the forces of an impact are distributed throughout the strongest parts of the body, i.e. the back and shoulders. Babies must always be protected by a suitable restraining system when travelling.Babies travelling in a rearward-facing seat or children travelling in a child seat may be seriously injured in the event of airbag activation. This could happen because the seatback of the child's seat may be positioned extremely close to the airbag at the moment it is inflated. Do not place an infant or a child in the front passenger seat at any time.
2 28 Safe transport of children The structure of a child's body is completely different from that of an adult or a teenager (whom the seat belts are designed for). Children's hips are so small that the 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, can cause serious internal injuries. Children must always be protected by suitable restraining systems. All minors whose physical characteristics (age, height, weight) fall within the value ranges/limits provided by the established legislation in each country must be protected by special restraint or safety systems (certified child seats, booster seats).Make sure to always use approved universal child restraining systems.Follow the instructions that the manufacturer of the devices is compulsorily required to supply together with the child restraint systems.To ensure the best restraining action of the child seats, we recommend that you choose the model that best suits the shape of your seats. If possible, try to install the seat on the vehicle before purchasing it. To guarantee the best restraining action of the child seat, we recommend that you choose the seat that best suits the shape of your vehicle's seat and that you try to install the child seat before purchasing it.In the event of an accident, an improperly fastened child restraining system can increase the risk of injury. Rearward-mounting child seats must not be used on front passenger seats equipped with active airbags, as these could cause serious injuries during inflation, even in minor collisions. No modifications can be made to the seat belts and the child restraining systems. Established legislation in some countries already provides that children under 12 years of age may not travel in the front passenger seat.Below is a summary of the safety regulations applying to the transport of children: We recommend that you always carry children in the specific restraining systems installed in the rear outbound seats, as this is the safest place in the event of a collision. Always and strictly follow the instructions that the manufacturer provides with the seat. Keep the instructions in the vehicle together with the documents and this handbook. Do not use a seat which does not have any instructions for use.WARNING: We recommend that you choose the seat that best suits the shape of your vehicle's seat and that you try to install the seat before purchasing it. Always pull on the seat belt to check that it is locked in.All restraint system 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 assume incorrect positions or undo the seat belt /child seat safety harness during travel.
2 Safe transport of children 29 Do not carry children in your arms, even new born children. 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.The vehicle outfitting is designed for mounting child seats with top anchoring.To fit the child seat, run the belt A through the support pins of the headrest and anchor it on one side to the backrest of the child seat and on the other side to the bracket B on the car body. 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 the seat cushion and backrest. The seats designed for Isofix child seats installation can however be fitted with standard child seats; as a matter of fact, you can install a standard and an Isofix child seat at the same time. No more than two standard child seats and 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. Fit the child seat only when the vehicle is stationary. The child seat is correctly anchored to the provided brackets when a click indicates it is locked in place. Follow the mounting, removal and positioning instructions provided by the child seat Manufacturer.AB
230 Safe transport of childrenFitting the child seat in rearward-facing position To fit the child seat in a rearward-facing position, be particularly careful that the brackets C are properly inserted in their seatings E. The baby is then secured by the child seat's harness F.Fitting the child seat in frontward-facing positionFor installation, proceed as follows: – make sure that the release lever D is in the standby position (retracted);– align the anchoring points C with the brackets E, then push the seat until you hear it click into place, which indicates it is secured – check for correct locking by trying to move the child seat with strength; the safety mechanisms in fact, help prevent the child seat from being improperly fitted if only one of the attachment fittings is locked. With this type of configuration, the child is also restrained by the vehicle seat belts and by the upper belt. In any case, see the instruction booklet provided with the child seat for fitting the vehicle belts into the seat correctly. CDEFECED

232 Front and side airbagsThe vehicle is equipped with 6 airbags (2 front and 4 lateral ones) and electronically-operated pretensioners for all of the seat belts.The system components are the following: 1) Electronic control unit2) Passenger's front airbag3) Front passenger seat belt pretensioner4) Passenger side bag5) Satellite collision sensor on passenger side6) Passenger’s window bag7) Driver’s window bag8) Driver side bag9) Satellite collision sensor on driver side 10) Front, driver seat belt's pretensioner11) Airbag system failure warning light12) Driver's lateral airbag13) Clock Spring14) Diagnostics socket15) Rear left-hand pretensioner16) Rear right-hand pretensioner17) Front left-hand Crash Zone Sensor18) Front right-hand Crash Zone Sensor.Front airbagsThe front airbags (for the driver and passenger) are safety devices which are designed to intervene in the event of certain head-on collision of sufficient impact.They consist of an instantaneously inflating bag housed in a special compartment:– in the center of the steering wheel on the driver side;– in the dashboard and with a larger size bag (full size airbag) on the passenger side.The front airbags (for the driver and passenger) are safety devices designed to protect the occupants in the event of a medium or high intensity head-on collision, which act by placing a cushion (bag) between the occupant and the steering wheel or the instrument panel dashboard.In the event of a collision, an ECU processes the signals coming from a deceleration sensor and triggers, whenever necessary, the inflation of the bag.The bag inflates instantaneously between the front passengers and potentially harmful structures. The bags deflate immediately afterwards.
2Front and side airbags 33In the event of a collision, anyone not wearing a seat belt will be thrown forward and will come into contact with the bag before it is fully inflated. This reduces the protection offered by the bag. It follows that the front airbags (driver and passenger side) do not replace or substitute the seat belts but supplement them, and hence the seat belts must always be worn as provided by established legislation in most other parts of the world.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 your local Authorized Maserati Dealer.In the case of low intensity head on collisions (in which the retaining action of the seat belts provides adequate protection), the airbags do not inflate.The airbag does not activate in the event of rear or side collisions, and it does not provide supplementary protection. Therefore non-activation of the airbags in these cases is not an indication of a system malfunction.Passenger's airbag (full size airbag)The passenger airbag is designed to afford supplementary protection to a person wearing the seat belt.When fully inflated, it will fill most of the space between the passenger and the dashboard.SERIOUS DANGER: the vehicle is fitted with an airbag on the passenger side. Do not allow infants or children to travel in the front passenger seat. Do not install an infant or child safety seat in the front passenger seat. If the passenger side airbag is deployed, serious injuries or death could result.
234 Front and side airbagsThe vehicle is not provided with a manual deactivation switch for the passenger side airbag; it is prohibited to carry children on a rearward facing child-seat mounted on the passenger seat. This regulation is also indicated on the plates attached on the visors and inside the glove compartment. If the warning light comes on while driving (fault signal) stop the vehicle and contact the local Maserati Dealer to have the system checked.Rearward-mounting child seats must not be used on front passenger seats equipped with active airbags, as these could cause serious injury during inflation, even in minor collision. We recommend that you always carry children in the specific restraining systems installed on the rear out bound seats. No child seat can be installed in the rear, central seat. The plate on the right-hand sun visor, near the courtesy mirror, shows the instructions for the replacement of the airbag system. Contact the local Authorized Maserati Dealer to replace the system when the related expiry date approaches.
2Front and side airbags 35Front and rear lateral airbags The lateral airbags are designed to enhance the protection offered to passengers travelling in the front seats in case of moderate to severe lateral collision. They consist of two types of instantaneous inflation bags:– Side Bags housed in the front seats' backrests; this solution allows the airbag to be always on approximate position with respect to the occupant, regardless of the seat position. – Window bags housed behind the roof lateral panels and covered by special trim panels that do not interfere with the bags' unfolding downwards during inflation. This solution, designed to help protect the head region, offers passengers sitting in the front and in the rear appropiate protection in the case of a side impact, thanks to the large area covered by the bags. In the event of a side impact, an electronic control unit processes the signals coming from a deceleration sensor and deploys the side airbags if necessary. The bags inflate instantaneously, acting as a protection between the occupants' body and the side of the vehicle. The bags deflate immediately afterwards. WARNING: The electronic control unit provides for the activation of the pretensioners, front airbags or side airbags (front and rear) based on different criteria, according to the type of impact. The fact that one or more systems do not activate is not indicative of a system malfunction.In the case of low impact lateral collisions (for which the retaining action of the seat belts affords adequate protection), the airbags are not designed to inflate. It follows that the front airbags (on driver and passenger side) do not replace or substitute the seat belts but supplement them, and hence the seat belts must always be worn as provided by established legislation in most countries. WARNING: The front and/or lateral airbags may inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent impact beneath the car body, for example when mounting the pavement, colliding with steps or speed bumps, potholes etc.WARNING: Airbag inflation releases a small amount of powder. This powder is not harmful and does not indicate the presence of fire; furthermore the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the vehicle may be covered with a powdery residue: this powder may irritate skin and eyes. If contact occurs, wash with a pH neutral soap and water.
236 Front and side airbagsIf the warning light switches on when the vehicle is running (indicating a fault), contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible to have the system checked.WARNING: The airbag system has a service life of 10 years. Contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer when this period is near to expirationIn the event of a collision with consequent airbag inflation, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer for replacement of the entire safety system, electronic control unit, seat belts, pretensioners, and to have the vehicle’s electrical system checked.All testing, repairs and replacements of the airbag system must be done by a Maserati Service Network Center.WARNING: In case of scrapping of the vehicle, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the system deactivated.WARNING: If the vehicle is sold, the new owner must be informed of the aforesaid instructions for use warnings and he/she must also be provided with the "Owner's Manual".The electronic control unit activates the pretensioners and front/lateral airbags based on different criteria, according to the type of collision. The fact that one or more systems do not to activate is not indicative of a system malfunction.
2Front and side airbags 37General warnings When the ignition key is turned to the MAR position, the warning light comes on, but it must switch off after approx. 5 seconds. If the warning light fails to come on at this time, or stays on, or lights up when driving, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer immediately.Drive with both hands on the steering wheel rim, so that if the airbag inflates it can do so freely, without encountering obstacles which can cause serious injuries. Do not drive with your body curved forwards but keep the seatback upright, with your back fully 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 objects held in your mouth. In the event of a collision, the intervention of the airbag could result in serious injury.Do not cover the front seatbacks with clothing or covers.Note that with the ignition key inserted and turned to the MAR position, even with the engine switched off, the airbags can inflate 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. On the other hand, the airbags will not inflate in case of collision with the vehicle stationary and the key removed from the ignition block; failure of the airbags to inflate in these circumstances is not indicative of a system malfunction.If the vehicle has been the object of theft or attempted theft, if it has been vandalized or involved in flooding, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the airbag system checked.If interventions are carried out on the electrical system incorrectly, the airbag could be activated, thereby causing injuries to anyone in the vicinity. The airbags do not substitute the seat belts but afford supplementary protection. Moreover, in the event of head-on collisions at low speed, side impacts, rear bumps or roll-overs, the passengers are protected by the seat belts only, that 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 onto the clothing hooks or onto the handholds.The airbags do not substitute the seat belts but afford supplementary protection. Moreover, since the front airbags do not intervene in the event of head-on collisions at low speeds, side impacts, rear bumps or roll-overs, in these cases passengers are protected by the seat belts only, that must always be fastened.
238 MSP SystemMSP SystemThe vehicle is equipped with the MSP (Maserati Stability Program) yaw prevention monitoring system, encompassing all of the vehicle's control systems: ABS, EBD, ASR and MSR. The system is fitted with a unit that is designed to predict the vehicle's behavior accurately. The system is capable of detecting whether the driver is about to lose control of the vehicle. In this case, it can activate the brake calipers individually and the engine control, in order to create a torque sufficient to resist the vehicle's yawing movement.ActivationThe MSP system is activated automatically every time the engine is started, and it can be disengaged by pressing button A for approx. 2 seconds. Press button A again to reactivate the system.During all the system operating stages, the green warning light accompanied by the message “MSP system active” will be lit up on the display.Fault indicatorsIn the event of a fault, the system is automatically disabled and cannot be reactivated. This condition is signalled, while driving, by the amber warning light that comes on both on the instrument panel and on the multi-function display. On the latter, the warning light is accompanied by the message “MSP system failure”.When the engine is started, the system malfunction is indicated by the warning light switching on.WARNING: In the event of a fault with the MSP disabled, the vehicle will react as if it were not equipped with this system: have the system checked by your local Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.WARNING: Make sure that the ignition key is turned to STOP if you have to tow the car with 2 wheels raised off the ground. Otherwise, with the MSP switched on, the respective control unit will store a malfunction, resulting in the warning lights coming on the instrument panel and on the display: this requires the intervention of your local Authorized Maserati Dealer to restore the system. WARNING: In low grip conditions (ice, snow, sand, etc.) it is advisable not to use the SPORT mode function, even with the MSP system active.WARNING: Driving on parabolic curves will deactivate the system. A
2ASR system (electronic anti-skid device) 39ASR system (electronic anti-skid device)The ASR system is designed to help prevent skidding of the driving wheels during acceleration by means of the engine control unit (spark advance delay, engine throttle opening reduction and fuel injection cut-out) and of the rear brakes.The ASR system enhances the vehicle stability and improves active safety while driving, especially under the following conditions:– internal wheel skidding on curves because of the dynamic load variations or excessive acceleration – excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also in relation to the road conditions– acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roadbeds – loss of road grip on wet roads (aquaplaning).The ASR system works jointly with the electronic suspension adjusting system: under normal conditions (SPORT mode off), stability in low and medium grip conditions has priority, while with the SPORT mode active, the system favors traction, thereby optimising vehicle's performance.ActivationThe ASR system is automatically activated every time the engine is started and can be cut-out by pressing button A for about 2 seconds.Press button A again to reactivate the system.During all the system operating stages, the green warning light, accompanied by the message “ASR system intervention” will be lit up on the display.Fault indicators In the event of a fault, the system is automatically disabled and cannot be reactivated. This condition is signalled, while driving, by the amber warning light, that comes on both on the instrument panel and on the multi-function display, accompanied by the message "ASR system failure.MSR function (engine braking torque adjustment)The ASR system is also desined to controls the engine braking torque when the accelerator pedal is released under low grip conditions (snow, ice, etc.): in these conditions, in fact, the engine's high braking torque may cause instability of the vehicle.The system, using the same sensors as the ABS, detects the skidding arising on one or both of the driving wheels when the accelerator is released and opens the motor driven throttle for the engine supply system, thereby reducing the braking torque and restoring the driving wheels' maximum grip conditions.WARNING: The maximum deceleration that can be obtained with the engine braking always depends on the tire grip on the roadbed. Snow or ice obviously reduce grip levels.
240 ABS and EBD systemsABS and EBD systemsThe vehicle is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) systems which, by means of the ABS system sensors and the ECU, are designed to improve the braking system’s performance. In the event of an emergency stop or braking on slippery surfaces (e.g. snowy or icy roadbeds), the ABS, together 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 is based on an electronic control unit that processes the signals coming from sensors fitted on the 4 wheels. When a wheel tends to lock, the sensor warns the unit which, in turn, request to an electro-hydraulic unit to intervene by modulating the pressure exerted on the brake; the driver will perceive a “pulsation” on the brake pedal which is completely normal.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 through the lighting up of the red warning light with the letters ABS > on the instrument panel. In this case, we recommend you contact the nearest your local Authorized Maserati Dealer centre, which, thanks to the self-diagnostics system the vehicle is equipped with, should be able to quickly identify the problem immediately.The vehicles must be fitted with wheel rims, tires and brake pads of the type and make approved by the Manufacturer for the model concerned.Despite the fact that this device makes a considerable contribution to safety, it is still essential to drive particularly carefully, especially when the road surface is wet, covered with snow or ice.The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Brakeforce Distributor (EBD). The warning lights > “BRAKE” comes when the engine is running to indicate a fault in the EBD system; in this case, sharp braking could lead to early locking of the rear wheels, and consequent possible skidding of the vehicle. Drive with the utmost care and immediately go to the nearest your local Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the system checked.
2ABS and EBD systems 41The warning light > usually comes on when the engine is running to indicate a fault in the ABS system only. In this case, the braking system is designed to will be still efficient, but it will not make use of the anti-locking device. Under these conditions, the EBD system efficiency can also be reduced. Drive with the utmost care to avoid abrupt braking and consult the nearest your local Authorized Maserati Dealer immediately.If the low brake fluid warning light BRAKE comes on, stop the vehicle and check the brake fluid level immediately. If the fluid level is below the minimum notch, top up with the recommended fluid and contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer immediately to have the system checked. Brake fluid leaks impair the operation of the entire.System performance in terms of active safety is not a reason for the driver to take unnecessary risks. The driving style must always be suited to weather conditions, range of visibility and road traffic conditions.The maximum obtainable deceleration is always dependent on the grip between tire and road. With snowy or icy roadbeds, grip levels are obviously reduced and the braking distance is very high, even with the ABS system.
242 Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)The vehicle is equipped with a system that monitors the tire pressure by means of special sensors that are secured inside the wheel rims, in position with the inflation valve. These sensors transmit a signal that is detected by the aerials fastened on the car body, behind the fenders, 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 tire pressure data and system errors, if any, to the on-board instrument panel.The signal transmitted by the ECU activates some icons on the display.The system is equipped with a specific wiring that connects the aerials, the control unit and the calibration button to the vehicle's electrical system.The system warns the driver that there is a drop in tire pressure. This warning does not exempt the driver from periodically checking the tires and from complying with the prescribed tire pressure levels. WARNING: The system stores the tire pressures as a reference rate, therefore tires must be inflated to the prescribed pressure. System calibration After replacing or inflating one or more tires, the system must be calibrated once again. To calibrate the system keep button A, located on the inside roof, pressed down for a time ranging between 4 and 10 seconds. The system takes a maximum of 20 minutes to complete the calibration procedure with the vehicle in motion.A green symbol will appear on the display together with the message "Calibration started".If the user recalls the information page showing the pressure levels of each tire, dashes “–.–” will be viewed in the place of the values.A
2Tire pressure monitoring system (optional) 43Viewing messages on the displayBy pressing the specific "Mode" button B, (see page 69), the user can access the information page showing the pressure values for each tire. When indication by event occurs, the malfunction is viewed in the place of the information on tire pressure levels.The malfunction is displayed for a time equal to its entire display cycle (20 seconds). When the display cycle ends, the tire pressure screen page becomes available again and the multi-function symbol indicating the malfunction is displayed in the specific area until the malfunction is rectified.B
244 Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)Normal conditionsBy pressing the specific button for quick information display ("Mode" button pressed briefly), the user can access the information page (screen page 1), which displays the pressure levels for each tire.Low pressureWhen the on-board instrument panel receives a message from the tire pressure ECU indicating that one or more tires have pressure levels below the control threshold, screen pages 2 will alternate for 20 seconds on the display. After this interval, the system will display only the amber color warning light .After 10 minutes, the warning cycle displays screen pages 2 for other 5 seconds. Upon the following key-on, if the malfunction persists, the display will alternate, once again, between screen pages 2.It may happen that the system does not know what wheel is originating the malfunction indication and therefore is not capable of specifying the wheel involved. In this case, screen pages 3 will alternate on the display for 20 seconds. Subsequently, the amber color symbol will be displayed in the area dedicated to the warning lights, until the correct situation is restored.12 3
2Tire pressure monitoring system (optional) 45Tire punctures When the tire pressure ECU informs the on-board control panel that the pressure level of one or more tires is below the alarm threshold, screen pages 4 will alternate on the display. The malfunction is displayed following the same logic as for the other malfunctions with hw priority level, until the correct situation is restored and the system is calibrated again, as required by the system itself.It may happen that the system does not know what wheel is originating the malfunction indication and therefore is not capable of specifying the wheel involved. In this case, screen pages 5 will alternate on the display. Subsequently, the red color symbol will be displayed in the area dedicated to the warning lights, until the correct situation is restored.“Run Flat” tire puncture If the vehicle is equipped with Run Flat type tires, in the event of a tire puncture screen pages 6 will alternate on the display for 20 seconds.The system calculates the residual tire life in miles (or km) and repeats the display cycle a first time after 31 mi (50 km) and a second time after 62 mi (100 km) driving.4 5 6
246 Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)During the “tire punctured” condition, if more than 75 mi (120 km) are traveled or if the vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), screen pages 7 or 8, respectively, are displayed according to the above described logic.If another tire is punctured, the system calculates (without displaying it) the updated value of the miles (km) that can still be driven, depending on the distance covered from the previous puncture, and displays screen pages 9 alternately.If in the meantime the control panel is switched off, the next time the key is turned to ON, the screen page indicating that the system is not calibrated will be displayed.If the driver presses the MODE button with "Escape" function, with a tire punctured and the vehicle not running at the max. speed - provided the tires are still in the condition to continue driving - the summary symbol will be displayed in the dedicated warning light area, until the correct condition is restored and after subsequent calibration requested by the system.7 8 9
2Tire pressure monitoring system (optional) 47It may occur that the system does not know which wheel is signaling the fault and it is hence unable to display it: screen pages 10 will alternately appear on the display for 20 seconds. The system calculates the residual tire life and repeats the display cycle a first time after 31 mi (50 km) and a second time after 62 mi (100 km) driving. It also monitors that the max. miles (km) driven or the permitted speed is not exceeded in these conditions.System not calibrated If the system has not been calibrated or following a tire replacement, screen pages 11 will alternate on the display.Subsequently, the screen page with the icon symbol will be displayed once again in the area dedicated to the warning lights. The system can be calibrated by means of the specific button (see page 42).Tire pressure monitoring system failureScreen pages 12 alternate in the following cases:• malfunction in the circuit and/or wiring leading to the ECU;• no signal reception by one or more sensors due to malfunction, breakage or flat battery;• ECU malfunction.The display sequence follows the usual logic of malfunctions. Therefore, after 10 seconds, the symbol will appear in the dedicated area.10 11 12
248 Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)System temporarily not activeWhen one of the following conditions arises:• excessively high temperature; • during the first calibration procedure; screen page 13 will appear.System not activeAfter Key-on, in the case that the system has been deactivated by means of the diagnosis tester, screen page 14 will appear for several seconds.13 14
2Parking sensors (optional) 49Parking sensors (optional)During parking maneuvers, the parking sensors are designed to provide the driver with information on the distance between obstacles found in front or behind the vehicle. The driver is informed of the presence and of the distance of any obstacle by means of acoustic signals (beeps). By supplementing his/her direct visual information with that provided by the system's acoustic signals, the driver can avoid potential collisions.The driver is fully responsible for parking and other potentially dangerous manoeuvres. The system has actually been designed only as a supplementary aid during parking manoeuvers, since it helps the driver to detect obstacles outside his/her field of vision.The front and rear sensors for the parking system are housed in the bumper. The rear sensors are activated automatically with the key turned to MAR, when the reverse gear is engaged, whilst the front sensors can be activated by pressing button A on the dashboard, on the left of the steering wheel. When the front sensors are active, the button LED turns on. To cut out the sensors, press button A once again. By disengaging the reverse gear, the rear sensors will deactivate, while the front sensors will remain active until a speed of approx. 9.5 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.When the sensors are activated, the system begins to beep as soon as an obstacle is detected, and the tone frequency increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When the obstacle is located at a distance of less than 12 in (30 cm), the beep is continuous. The signal stops immediately if the distance from the obstacle increases. The tone cycle is constant if the distance measured by the central sensors remains unaltered, while if this occurs with the side sensors, the signal stops after approximately 3 seconds, to prevent for example continuous beeps in the event of maneuvers alongside walls.Sensors To measure the distance from the obstacles, the system uses 4 sensors fitted in the front bumper and 4 sensors fitted in the rear one.For the system to operate correctly, the sensors positioned on the bumper must be kept clean (remove any mud, dirt, snow or ice). WARNING: Should you need to repaint the bumper or in case of paint touch-ups in the sensors' area, please contact exclusively your local Authorized Maserati Dealer. Incorrect painting/touch-ups could jeopardize the parking sensors' operation.A
250 Parking sensors (optional)WARNING: 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. In car-washes which use steam jet or high pressure cleaning machines, keep the nozzle at least 4 in. (10 cm) away from the sensors.Sensor rangeThe sensors allow the system to monitor the front and rear of the vehicle.In fact, their position covers the central and lateral zones at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.If the obstacle is located in the central area, this is detected at distances of less than 35 in. (0.9 m) (front) and 59 in. (1.50 m) (rear). If the obstacle is located in a lateral position, it will be detected at distances of less than 24 in (0.6 m).
2Parking sensors (optional) 51Failure indicators The ECU checks all of the system components every time the ignition key is turned to MAR. The sensors and the respective electric connections are then constantly monitored throughout the the system operation. The failure of the parking system sensors is indicated by the symbol that switches on on the multi-function display accompanied by the message "Parking Sensors Failure". In the event of a failure signal, stop the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the Stop position. Try to clean the sensors and make sure that you are not near ultrasound emitting sources (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic hammers). If the cause that originated the malfunction has been removed by turning the key back to MAR the system will start working fully efficiently once again and the failure symbol on the multi-function display with the relative message will turn off. If, instead, the warning light remains lit, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the system checked, even if it is still working.As a matter of fact, if the failure detected by the ECU does not jeopardize its operation, the system will continue working but the malfunction will be stored so as to be checked by your local Authorized Maserati Dealer upon a subsequent inspection.WARNING: During parking manoeuvres, always take the utmost care over obstacles that could be located above or underneath 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.WARNING: 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 maneuvers. During these maneuvers, always make sure there are no people (especially children) or animals in the maneuvering area. The parking sensors must be considered an aid for the driver who, in any case, must never take less care during potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even if they are carried out at low speeds.
252 Fuel cut-out inertia switchFuel cut-out inertia switchThe vehicle is equipped with a safety switch which is designed to intervene in the event of a collision, cutting off the fuel supply and consequently causing the engine to stop. It also prevents fuel leakage if the fuel lines are damaged during the accident.The intervention of the safety switch is indicated by the warning light coming up on the instrument panel.The switch is positioned underneath the front left-hand seat. After impact, if you smell fuel or note any leakage from the fuel supply system, do not reactivate the switch to help prevent any risk of fire.The activation of the inertia switch results in all the doors and the luggage compartment unlocking and in the internal dome lamp and the four direction indicators switching on.Resetting the switchTurn the ignition key to the STOP position.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 A on the switch.Turn the ignition key to the MAR position, wait a few seconds and then move it to the ACC. position.Check that the warning light on the instrument panel is switched off.Check once again that there are no fuel leaks.A

This will show that the warning light is working properly.If the warning light remains on or switches on while driving, it indicates that there is a failure in the fuel supply/ignition and emission control systems. The failure could cause high exhaust emissions, loss of performance, poor vehicle handling and high consumption levels.In these conditions you can drive slowly without demanding engine performance or high speeds. Prolonged use of the vehicle when the warning light is on can cause damages. For this reason, you should contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. The warning light will go out if the problem disappears. The error will be stored by the system in any case.WARNING: When the ignition key is turned to the MAR position, if the warning light UUUU does not switch on or if it switches on while driving, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.DuoSelect gearbox failure (*)If the failure still permits it, free the road and contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer.Flashing warning light: low pressure in the system.Low oil pressure (*)Under normal conditions, the warning light should switch on when the ignition key is turned to the MAR position and switch off as soon as the engine is started.If the warning light remains on or turns on while driving, this indicates a too low engine oil pressure. In this case, turn the engine off immediately and carry out the necessary checks.If the problem persists, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer.
362 Indicators and warning lightsLow brake fluid warning light (*)This switches on when the brake fluid level drops below the minimum level. The operation of the warning light can be checked by pressing the button on the brake fluid tank cap located in the engine compartment.If the warning light comes on while driving, check the brake fluid level immediately. If the fluid level is below the minimum level there could be a leakage in the circuit: in this case, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer before continuing your trip.Defective wheel anti-lock system (ABS) (*)This switches on when the ABS system is inefficient. The normal brake system remains operational, but it is advisable to contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.Seat belts (*)This switches on when the driver’s seat belt is not fastened or fastened improperly. A buzzer is also activated for approximately 8 seconds when the light is on.Airbag/pre-tensioner failure (*)This turns on to indicate that the pre-tensioner and/or airbag system is/are inefficient.Turning the key to MAR, the light comes on but it should go out after a few seconds with the engine running.If the warning light stays on or if it does not come on, or if it comes on while driving, stop immediately and consult your local Authorized Maserati Dealer.Maserati CODE (*)When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on in three different ways:– One flash - key code acknowledged. The engine can be started.– Permanently lit - key code not acknowledged. To start the engine, follow the emergency starting procedure as specified in the section "In an emergency", after having attempted to start it with other keys.– Flashing light - vehicle not protected by the Maserati CODE system.
