throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the
irritation continues, see your doctor. If
these particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning. Do not drive
your vehicle after an air bag has
deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in
place to protect you.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Air bag inflation releases a small amount
of powder. This powder is not harmful
for the environment.
WARNING!
• Deployed air bags cannot protect
you in another collision. Have the air
bags and the front seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by a Maserati
Service Centre. Also, have the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
system serviced as well.
• Have the air bag checked, serviced
and replaced only by the Service
Network.
Air Bag System Maintenance
WARNING!
• Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you
need it; thus you could be injured if the
air bag system is not there to protect
you. Do not modify the components
or wiring. Do not modify the front
bumper, vehicle body structure, or add
aftermarket side steps or running
boards.
•
It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system without the
necessary know-how.
• Do not attempt to modify any part
of your air bag system. The air bag
may inflate accidentally or may not
function properly if modifications
are made. Take your vehicle to the
Service Network for any air bag
system service. If your seat including
your trim cover and cushion needs
to be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take the
vehicle to the Service Network.
• Only Maserati manufacturer approved
seat accessories may be used. If it
is necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabilities,
contact the Service Network.
Understanding the Vehicle
•
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any
engine related gauges are not working,
the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) may also be disabled. The air
bags may not be ready to inflate for
your protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. To identify
the air bag fuse, see chapter "If a Fuse
Blows" in section "In an Emergency".
See the Service Network if the fuse
does not fix the problem.
Passenger's Air bag Deactivation
(NOT valid for Taiwan market)
If you have to carry a child on the front
passenger seat, always deactivate the
air bag on the passenger's side before
installing a rearward-facing child seat.
To deactivate the air bag, open the menu
"Safety & Driving Assistant" and skip
to "Passenger Airbag" (see "Function
of Settings Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls"
for further information).
