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.
• At about 0.5 to 1 ft (15 to 30 cm) above
the latch plate, grasp and twist the
belt 180 degrees to create a fold that
begins immediately above the latch
plate.
• Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded belt. The folded belt must enter
the slot at the top of the latch plate.
• Continue to slide the latch plate up until
it clears the folded belt.
Passenger Seat Belt
Passenger seat belt is equipped with
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR).
Pull the belt out far enough to
comfortably wrap around the occupant
so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR
is activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. In this case,
allow the belt to retract completely and
then carefully pull out only the amount
of belt necessary to comfortably wrap
around the seat occupant.
Slide the latch plate into the buckle until
you hear a "click".
WARNING!
•
Always fasten the seat belts.
•
Traveling without the seat belts
fastened significantly 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 help 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
deploy in the event of certain head-on
collisions of sufficient intensity. They
may not be activated if the vehicle
rolls over, or in the event of rear
bumps or minor frontal collisions, or
non-frontal collisions.
Using Seat Belt in Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) Mode
Use the seat belt automatic locking
mode anytime a child safety seat is
installed in a seating position that has a
belt with this function.
Children up to 12 years old or under 5
ft (1.5 m) in height, should be properly
buckled up in a child restraint system.
