Safety Tips
Transporting Passengers
WARNING!
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury.
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously
injured.
• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
trunk/liftgate open, make sure that
all windows are closed and the
climate control blowers switch is set
at high speed. DO NOT use the
recirculation mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system.
Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the
Maserati Service
Network inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.
Vehicle Safety Checks
Seat Belts
• Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
• If the belt has been sharply pulled,
for example as the result of an
accident, the safety belt, together
with the anchoring devices, the
anchoring device mounting screws
and the pretensioner (if available)
must be completely replaced. Even if
the belt does not present any
exterior signs of wear or damage, it
may have lost its restraining
properties.
Air bag Warning Light
The light should illuminate and
remain lit for a few seconds bulb
checking when the ignition switch is
pushed in
RUN position (see
“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
— Air bags” chapter in this section).
