Maserati Spyder Owner's Manual page 36

Drive with both hands on the
steering wheel so that if the
airbag inflates it can do so
freely without encountering obstacles
which can cause serious injuries. Do
not drive with the body curved
forwards but keep the seat back
upright to support your back.

Do not apply stickers or other
objects to the steering wheel
or the passenger side airbag
housing.
Do not travel with objects in
your lap, in front of your chest
or especially with a pipe,
pencil or other object held in your
mouth; in the event of a collision, the
intervention of the airbag could result
in serious injury.
36 Front and side airbags
Note that with the ignition
key inserted and turned to the
MAR position, even with the
engine switched off, the airbags can
inflate even if the vehicle is stationary,
if it is run into by another vehicle.
Thus, even with the vehicle stationary,
children must be seated in the specific
restraint systems mounted on the
passenger seat, and the passenger
airbag must be deactivated. On the
other hand, the airbags will not inflate
in case of collision with the vehicle
stationary if the key is not inserted
and turned; failure of the airbags to
inflate in these circumstances is not
indicative of system malfunction.
If the vehicle has been the
object of theft or attempted
theft, if it has been vandalized
or involved in flooding, contact
Maserati Service Network to have the
airbag system checked.
If interventions are carried out
on the electrical system
incorrectly, the airbag could
be activated, thereby causing injuries
to anyone in the vicinity.
The airbags do not replace the
seat belts but afford
supplementary protection.
Furthermore, in case of low impact
head on or side collisions, rear impact
or roll-overs, the passengers are
protected exclusively by the seat belts,
which must always be secured.
Do not wash the door panels
with water or pressurized
vapor.
