WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead 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 restraint manufacturer's
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint in
the front seat may be struck by a
deploying passenger airbag, which
may cause severe or fatal injury to the
infant.

Here are Some Tips on Getting
the Most out of Your Child
Restraint
• Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certifying
that it meets all applicable Safety
Standards. Maserati also recommends
that you make sure that you can install
the child restraint in the vehicle where
you will use it before you buy it.
• The restraint system must be
appropriate for your child's weight and
height.
• Check the label on the restraint system
for weight and height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the restraint system.
• If installed improperly, it may not work
when needed.
• Fit the child into the seat according
to the child restraint manufacturer's
directions.
WARNING!
When your child restraint system is not
in use, 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.
Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt.
All the passenger seat belts are
equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) to secure child
protection through a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion
of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint seat avoiding to use a locking
clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise
if the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt to
retract subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see "Using Seat Belt
in Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
Mode" in "Occupants Restraint Systems
(ORS)" in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of the
retractor leading it through the belt
path of the protection device. Slide
the latch into the buckle until it clicks,
then remove the entire safety belt from
the retractor in order to rewind. While
rewinding a click will indicate the safety
belt is now in Automatic Locking mode.
