Before Driving
The SBR warning sequence begins after
the vehicle speed is over 5 MPH (8 km/h)
for more than 19 seconds, by blinking
the SBR light and message and by
sounding an intermittent chime.
Once the sequence starts, it will
continue for the entire duration. After the
sequence completes, the SBR light
remain illuminated until the respective
seat belts are fastened and the message
remains on for 5 seconds.
If the opened front door on the driver
or passenger side is closed and the
occupant presence sensor detects
a status change from occupant not
present to occupant present the system
will repeat the warning sequence.
The driver should instruct the other
occupant to fasten its seat belt. If a front
seat belt is unbuckled while travelling at
speeds greater than 5 MPH (8 km/h),
SBR will provide both audio and visual
notification on the instrument cluster.
The SBR for front passenger seat is not
active when the front passenger seat
is not occupied. SBR may be triggered
when an animal or heavy object is on the
front passenger seat. It is recommended
to restrain pets in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and properly stow cargo.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women
Seat belts should also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in the
event of an accident is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they
are wearing a seat belt. The best way
to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen (see figure).
When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that baby will not be hurt
in a crash. For pregnant women, as for
anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly.
WARNING!
Pregnant women should observe the
above indications, as well as local
regulation concerning the use of seat
belts.
Child Safety
Maserati does not recommend the
transport of children under 5 ft (1.5 m)
tall or younger than 12 years of age.
WARNING!
Do not leave children unsupervised
in the vehicle. Children could injure
themselves on parts of the vehicle,
open a door and be seriously or even
fatally harmed by prolonged exposure
to heat or cold. If children open a door,
they could cause injury to others in
doing so or get out of the vehicle and
possibly injure themselves or they could
be injured by a passing vehicle.
