Front Passenger Air bag and
Child Restraint System (Valid
for Taiwan market)
WARNING!
• DO NOT carry babies, infants and
children on the front passenger seat.
• Deployment of the air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the infant regardless of the severity of
the collision.
•
While certain safety systems (e.g.
the airbags) have been tested to
ensure that they offer the highest
possible levels of protection, they may
nonetheless be hazardous in the event
of failure by the driver or passenger
to observe the instructions given by
Maserati. All vehicle occupants must
be attentive at all times and take
particular care when transporting
passengers who are more subject to
injury such as children, disabled and
elderly persons. DO NOT carry babies,
infants and children on the front
passenger seat (see warning plate
above and behind the front passenger
sun visor, shown in picture).
Understanding the Vehicle
Supplemental Air bags
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) protect the head thorax
area of the occupants in the event of a
side impact of medium/high severity.
The SAB is marked with "AIRBAG" label
sewn into the outboard side of the front
seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact
deploys the left air bag only and a right
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
