Safety Tips
Transporting Passengers
WARNING!
•
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury.
•
Never ride in a cargo area, inside of a
vehicle.
•
Do not allow people to travel in
any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
•
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing
it can make you unconscious and
can eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
•
Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any longer
than needed to move your vehicle in or
out of the area.
•
If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running, use
the recirculation soft-key on the
Comfort Display. Set the blower at
high speed.
•
If you are required to drive with the
trunk lid open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system.
Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or eventual
exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
have the Authorized Maserati Dealer
inspect the complete exhaust system
and adjacent body areas for broken,
damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.
Vehicle Safety Checks
Seat Belts
• Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
• If the belt has been sharply pulled, for
example as the result of an accident,
the safety belt, together with the
anchoring devices and the anchoring
device mounting screws must be
completely replaced. Even if the belt
does not present any exterior signs of
wear or damage, it may have lost its
restraining properties.
Airbag Warning Light
The light should illuminate
and remain lit for a few seconds
bulb checking when the ignition
device is pushed in ON position (see
"Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) - AirBags" chapter in section
"Understanding the Vehicle").
• If the light does not illuminate
while starting, contact the Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
• If the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system
checked by the Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
