Child Restraint System (Crs) - Maserati GranTurismo 2024 Owner's Manual

Understanding the Vehicle
Child Restraint System
(CRS)
NOTE:
A child restraint system can help
2
protect a child in a vehicle so ensure
that the child restraint selected has a
certification label applicable to FMVSS
213 in the U.S., or CMVSS 213 in
Canada.
Everyone in your vehicle must be
buckled up all the time, including babies
and children. Every state in the United
States and all Canadian provinces
require that small children ride in proper
restraint systems. Please be reminded
that you can be prosecuted for ignoring
this law.
Children 12 years or younger should ride
properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats rather than in
the front.

WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child, even
a baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could become
so great that you could not hold the
child, no matter how strong you are. The
child and others could be badly injured
or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle
should always be in a proper restraint
system suitable for the child's size.
• EXTREME HAZARD! Rearward-facing
child seats must never be used in the
front seat of a vehicle with the front
passenger airbag activated. An airbag
deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.
• On cars equipped with passenger's
airbag deactivation device, if
the passenger's airbag has been
deactivated always check the warning
light on the front dome console to
make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
• Improper installation leads to failure
of an infant or child restraint. It could
come loose in a collision. The child
could be badly injured or killed. Follow
the child restraint manufacturer's
directions exactly when installing a

Child Restraint System (CRS).

•
Never carry children on your lap, not
even newborns. No one can restrain a
child in the event of an accident.
• Every child has to use one CRS; never
carry two children using only one child
seat.
• In case of accident, replace the child
seat with a new one.
•
When your CRS is not used, secure
it in the vehicle with the seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle. Do
not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a
sudden stop or accident, it could strike
the occupants or seatbacks and cause
serious personal injury.
There are different sizes and types of
restraint systems for children from
newborn size to the child almost large
enough for an adult safety belt.
Always refer to the manual provided
with child seat to ensure it is the proper
type according the traveling child. Use
the restraint system that is correct for
your child.
NOTE:
Maserati "Genuine Accessories" makes
available a complete range of child
restraint systems that can be fixed using
the vehicle seat belts or through the
Lower anchorages.
