Before Driving
• Hold the latch plate and pull the belt
across you, make the belt go around
your body and when the belt is long
enough to fit, insert the latch plate into
the buckle until you hear a "click".
WARNING!
•
Do not bring sharp edges in contact
with a seat belt. This could reduce
their initial strength and cause them to
tear in the event of a crash.
•
If a seat belt has been brought in
contact with a sharp edge, or has
been used to pin something to it,
have it immediately replaced by our
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
•
A belt that is buckled up into the
wrong buckle will not protect you
properly. The lap portion of the belt
could ride too high on your body,
possibly causing internal injuries.
Always buckle up your belt into the
corresponding buckle.
•
A seat belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden
stop, you could move too far forward,
increasing the possibility of injury.
Wear your seat belt snugly.
•
A belt that is worn under your arm is
dangerous. Your body could strike the
inside surfaces of the vehicle in an
accident, increasing head and neck
injury. A belt worn under the arm can
also cause internal injuries.
• The lower part must adhere to the
pelvis rather than the abdomen of the
occupant. To fasten the lap belt 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.
