Automatic Locking Mode Unsetting
Unbuckle the three point seat belt
and allow it to retract completely to
disengage the automatic locking mode
and activate the vehicle emergency
locking mode.
WARNING!
•
The belt and retractor assembly must
be checked by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer and must be replaced if the
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
function or any other seat belt function
is not working properly.
•
Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase the
risk of injury in collisions.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioner, that reduce slack in the
belts in the event of a severe frontal
impact. This guarantees the perfect
adherence of the seat belts to the
occupants bodies before the restraining
action begins.
Pretensioner works for all size occupant
restraint systems.
NOTE:
To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
Pretensioner is triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). A
pretensioner may be used only once
because it is a pyrotechnic device.
WARNING!
It is strictly forbidden to remove
or tamper with the pretensioner
components. Any intervention must
be carried out only by qualified and
authorized personnel. Always contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
CAUTION!
Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localized heating (over
212°F/100°C for a maximum of 6
hours max.) in the area around the
pretensioners may damage or deploy
them erroneously. These devices are not
affected by vibrations caused by uneven
road surfaces or low obstacles. Contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer for any
intervention that may be required.
Use of Seat Belt Reminder (SBR)
System
The SBR system has the function to
remind the driver and the passenger to
fasten the seat belts.
The system monitors whether the driver
and passenger seat belts are buckled
or unbuckled through warning light
icons.
SBR Function for Driver and Front
Passenger
When the driver or the front passenger is
unbelted, the SBR function activates.
The function activates with engine
running. If the driver or front seat
passenger is unbelted, the SBR light
will turn on in the instrument cluster and
remain on until both front seat belts are
fastened.
