Understanding the Vehicle
The advanced front airbags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the airbag to have different rates of
inflation based on the severity and type
of collision.
This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat belt
buckle sensor that detects whether the
driver or front passenger seat belt is
fastened. The seat belt buckle sensor
may adjust the inflation rate of the
advanced front airbags.
This vehicle is also equipped with
Supplemental Window AirBags (WAB)
for driver and passenger head protection
during a side impact. The Supplemental
Window AirBags in the inboard side of
the doors.
NOTE:
After any accident, the vehicle should be
taken to the Authorized Maserati Dealer
immediately.
Airbag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
following airbag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC);
• Airbag warning light on the instrument
cluster;
• Steering wheel and column;
• Instrument cluster;
• Driver advanced front airbag;
• Passenger advanced front airbag;
• Supplemental Window AirBags (WAB);
• Supplemental passenger side knee
airbag (MC20 Cielo only);
• Front and side impact sensors;
• Front seat belt pretensioner and seat
belt buckle switch;
• Pyrotechnical charge to cut power from
the battery; it is located on the positive
battery terminal.
WARNING!
The airbag is not a substitute for the
seat belts. Correct use of the seat belts,
in combination with the airbag, will offer
protection for the driver and passenger
in the front seat in the event of a head-
on collision.
Advanced Front Airbags
Properties
The advanced front airbag system has
multistage driver and front passenger
airbags. This system provides airbag
inflation rates which are appropriate to
the severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires airbag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions. A
higher energy output is used for more
severe collisions.
The airbag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with electrical AirBag
System Components listed below:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC);
• Airbag Warning light on the instrument
cluster;
• Steering Wheel and Column;
• Instrument Cluster;
• Driver advanced front airbag;
• Passenger advanced front airbag;
• Supplemental Window AirBags (WAB);
• Supplement passenger side knee
airbag (MC20 Cielo only);
