an accident. Always wear the lap
belt as low as possible and keep it
comfortable.
• A twisted belt will not protect you
2
properly. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt is
straight. If you can't straighten a
belt in your vehicle, take it to an
Authorized Maserati Dealer
immediately.
• Do not use devices (clips, fastenings
etc.) that prevent the seat belts from
laying close to the occupants bodies.
• Do not carry children on a
passenger's lap using only one seat
belt for protecting both.
• Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and
not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
• To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is
rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.

WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could break in an
accident and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt/retractor assemblies
must be replaced by the Authorized
Maserati Dealer after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent
retractor, torn belt, etc.).
Three-Point Seat Belt Height
Adjustment
WARNING!
The seat belts height must only be
adjusted when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and right front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
Push the indicated button above the
shoulder belt guide to release the
anchorage, then move the belt slider
up or down to the position that fits
you best.
WARNING!
After the adjustment, always check
that the slider to which the oscillating
ring is fixed, is locked into one of the
positions provided. With the handgrip
released, push again downward to
allow the anchoring device to click
into place, in the event that it has not
been released in one of the positions
provided.
When you release the anchorage try to
move the belt slider up and down to
make sure that it is locked in position.
