Seat belt for rear center seat
Unlike all other seat belts, this one has
two buckles and two metal latch
plates; in this way it is possible to
release it from the seat and fold down

(refer to "Cargo Area" in section 3 for
further information).
To buckle the seat belt proceed as
follows:
• Take place in the central seat and
pull out the belt from the upper
retractor in a normal manner,
without twisting it;
• Insert the first latch plate located at
the end of the shoulder portion of
the belt inside the left buckle (this is
the one without the red unlatch
button on the top of the slot);

• Insert the latch plate located at the
end of the lap portion of the belt
inside the right buckle.
To unlatch the seat belt, release the
right plate of the lap portion by
clicking on the red button.
Using Seat Belt in Automatic
Locking Retractor Mode (ALR)
Use the seat belt automatic locking
mode anytime a child safety seat is
installed in a seating position that has
a belt with this feature.
Children up to 12 years old or under
1.5 m (5 ft) in height, should be
properly buckled up in a child restraint
system.
Automatic Locking Mode Setting
• Buckle the lap and shoulder belt.
• Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
• Allow the belt to retract. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt
is now in the automatic locking
mode.
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 the Maserati Service
Network and must be replaced if the
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
feature 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.
