and the engine is off, if the car is hit
by another moving vehicle.
Therefore, even if the car is
stationary, when an active passenger
air bag is fitted, DO NOT install on
the passenger seat child restraint
systems to be fitted rearward facing
on the front seat. Deployment of the
air bag following an impact could
cause fatal injuries to the child.
Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger air bag (see “Passenger’s
Air bag Deactivation (if foreseen)” in
this section) when a rearward facing
child restraint is installed on the
passenger front seat.The front
passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in
order to avoid the child restraint
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger air bag as soon as the
child restraint system has been
removed. Also remember that, if the
ignition device is in OFF, ACC
position or off, none of the safety
devices (air bags or pretensioners)
will be deployed in the event of
collision. Non-deployment of these
devices does not indicate a system
malfunction.
• Ignoring the air bag warning light
and message in your instrument
cluster could mean you won't have
the air bags to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come
on as a bulb check when the ignition
is first turned on, stays on after you
start the engine, or if it comes on as
you drive, have an authorized
Maserati Service Center service the
air bag system immediately.
Front Air bag Inflator Units
When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the advanced front air bags,
it signals the inflator units. A large
quantity of nontoxic gas is generated
to inflate the advanced front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the dashboard
separate and fold out of the way as
the air bags inflate to their full size.
The air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front
passenger. The advanced front air bag
gas is vented through the vent holes in
the sides of the air bag. In this way,
the air bags do not interfere with your
control of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag Inflator Unit
The supplemental driver side knee air
bag unit is located in the dashboard
trim beneath the steering column.
When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the air bag, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the supplemental driver side knee air
bag. The trim cover separates and
folds out of the way allowing the air
bag to inflate to the full size.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The ORC unit determines if a side
collision requires the side air bags to
inflate, based on the severity and type
of collision. Based on the severity and
type of collision, the side air bag
inflator on the crash side of the vehicle
may be triggered, releasing a quantity
of nontoxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The side air
bag moves at a very high speed and
with such a high force that it could
injure you if you are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the side air bag
