Before Driving
pull slightly up the diagonal portion
of the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in an accident.
WARNING!
•
A lap belt worn too high can increase
the risk of internal injury in an
accident. The belt forces won't
impact on the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen.
Always wear the lap belt as low as
possible and keep it comfortable.
•
A twisted belt will not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could
even cut into you. Be sure the belt
is straight. If you can't straighten
a belt in your vehicle, take it to
an Authorized Maserati Dealer
immediately.
•
Do not use devices (clips, fastenings
etc.) that prevent the seat belts from
laying close to the occupants bodies.
•
Never carry children on a passenger’s
lap.
• Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and
not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
• To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, guide the
seat belt with your hand while it
is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could break in
an accident and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays,
or loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system.
Seat belt/retractor assemblies must be
replaced by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer after an accident if they have
been damaged (bent retractor, torn
belt, etc.).
WARNING!
•
A seat belt extender is not an
authorized modification. It can
provide false seat belt usage status
that disables the Drive Away Inhibit
strategy and other important safety
functions of your Maserati. ONLY use
a seat belt extender if it is physically
required in order to properly fit
the original seat belt system. DO
NOT USE the seat belt extender if,
when worn, the distance between
the front edge of the seat belt
extender buckle and the center of
the occupant’s body is LESS than 6
inches.
•
Using a seat belt extender when
not needed can increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.
Only use the seat belt extender
when the lap belt is not long enough
and only use in the recommended
seating positions. When the seat
belt extender is not required for
a different occupant, it must be
removed. Remove and store the seat
belt extender when not needed.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to
untwist a twisted three point belt.
• Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
