When performing particular maintenance or repair procedures, the operator must take every precaution to
prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle.
Always wear protective gloves when working on parts that are hot or sharp, or when using dangerous
parts. In this latter case, suitable goggles should be worn to protect your eyes.
Avoid producing sparks or flames when working on the vehicle's fuel system as the fuel or the fumes
emitted can easily catch fire.
The following paragraphs describe several specific situations in which the conditions of the car or the
handling of some parts can originate hazardous situations.
All the operations must be carried out with the utmost care and attention to prevent injuries.
The engine compartment contains many moving and/or hot parts and live wires.
Always take these precautions, strictly following them, whenever carrying out operations in the engine
compartment:
For some procedures, you are instructed to use specific equipment. The use of this equipment is
fundamental to ensure safe working conditions.
Respect regulations in force regarding workshop safety. When necessary, the vehicle manual provides
specific instructions to be followed to prevent potentially hazardous situations occurring.
When using chemical products, follow the preventative safety regulations carefully. These can be found on
the safety sheet which the supplier is duty-bound to provide the user with.
The air conditioning circuit uses the non-polluting fluid R134a as its coolant.
If it is necessary to work on the circuit, always observe the following safety regulations strictly:
Any R134a fluid that leaks out the air conditioning/ heating system accidentally during draining/ recovery/
refilling can become toxic if it comes into close contact with naked flames or in the presence of some
metals (for example magnesium or aluminium) in the form of fine or powdery particles. It is therefore
advisable that the work is carried out in well-aerated areas, where there are no naked flames, and where
the extracting plant is working.
Avoid prolonged contact with the skin when the R134a fluid is in evaporation stage, as the low
temperature it reaches (-26.5) on completing expansion can cause "burns" due to the excessive coldness.
It is therefore advisable to wear either leather or very thick fabric gloves.
It is essential to protect your eyes from contact with the coolant, as its excessive and instantaneous low
temperature can cause serious injuries.
Releasing the fluid into the air represents an environmental hazard. Always use specially designed
equipment to drain the R134a fluid out of the system.
When the engine is warm, its cooling system is pressurised. Wait a few minutes before carrying out any
work on the components in the cooling circuit, making sure, in any case, that the pressure has dropped.
- Before starting any work on the electrical system (connectors, electric components, wiring etc..) turn the
ignition key to the STOP position and DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.
Every time you have to disconnect the negative battery terminal, proceed as follows:
To release tight-fitting parts, strike them gently using an aluminium or, if the parts are made of iron, lead
hammer; Use a wooden or resin mallet for light alloy parts.
During the removal, check that the parts that must be marked for reference purposes duly show the
reference marks.
When refitting, lubricate the parts, where necessary, to prevent engagements or seizures in the initial
operation stages.
When refitting, it is fundamental that the tightening torques and adjustment data are complied with.
For each refitting operation replace the seals, oil seals, elastic washers, safety plates, self-locking nuts
and any parts found to be damaged.
During the operations, when the components are disconnected from the system, close the disconnected
unions with suitable water/air-tight stoppers to prevent dampness and impurities from entering the system.
All the system components are specifically designed for the use of R134a and are NOT
INTERCHANGEABLE with those from earlier vehicles using Freon R12.
The drainage/recovery station is specific for the R134a fluid.
The antifreeze oil is also specific for the compressor lubrication system and is not the same as the oil used
with systems running on Freon R12.
CAUTION
In the event of towing or positioning on the roller stand, remember that the vehicle is endowed
with an automatic door locking function when speeds exceed 20 km/h, which is activated/
deactivated via the IT node.
Once the doors are locked, you must operate the internal release button or the external latch with
the key to open them. There is no other way of opening them.
Therefore, in the event that a vehicle is used with no-one on board, it is necessary to check in the
vehicle settings menu that the ‘autoclose’ function on exceeding 20km/h is deactivated or,
alternatively, leave a window open or keep a second key outside the vehicle.
DANGEROUS PARTS
Using the car, the exhaust system components and the engine itself reach very high temperatures and
remain hot for a long time after the engine is turned off.
Always use insulated gloves to handle these components or wait as long as necessary to let them cool
down.
Battery
The battery charging procedure generates gases that can become explosive in contact with sparks or
flames.
Furthermore, the battery contains sulfuric acid in the form of electrolyte, which can cause irritation if it
comes in touch with the skin.
Always wear suitable protective clothing and a mask when handling the electrolyte.
When the vehicle is stopped and the engine is still warm, the electric fans for the cooling system may start
up suddenly. Be very careful when working near these parts.

CAPITOLO
Exhaust gases
In order to carry out some maintenance procedures, the engine must be kept running. The exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, a highly poisonous gas which, if inhaled for a lengthy period, can also be lethal.
Avoid running the engine in closed areas. If possible, work outdoors or use systems for
scavenging exhaust gases.
The devices used for monitoring and controlling the emission of exhaust gases allowed the vehicle to
obtain the approval for freely circulating on roadways, in accordance with pollution and noise control
regulations in force. Removing or tampering with these devices is prohibited by law.
Under no circumstance should the exhaust silencer be perforated or internal parts be removed.
Do not use the vehicle if any of these devices is missing.
The type-approval number is marked on each one of these devices or on a specific plate.
Furthermore, said devices must be kept in good working condition by carrying out all the interventions
indicated in the scheduled maintenance plan.
Fuel
The fuel contained in the tank and in the engine's entire supply system, is highly flammable and, under
certain conditions, it can also be explosive.
Avoid smoking, producing sparks or naked flames near the workplace or in the immediate vicinity.
Used oil
Prolonged contact of the skin with the used oil can cause severe skin diseases. To avoid all risks, always
wear protective gloves and/or thoroughly wash the part that has come into contact with it, using soap and
water.
Besides damaging plastic, rubber, as well as painted parts, the oil contained in the brake and hydraulic
steering systems is very dangerous if it comes into contact with eyes or skin.
In the event of contact, thoroughly rinse the body area involved with running water. To avoid all risks,
always wear goggles and protective gloves.
Coolant
The fluid contained in the cooling system reaches high temperatures and is under pressure: any
accidental contact with it can cause severe burns.
Furthermore, the coolant can cause irritation to the skin and is poisonous swallowed.
cooling system
CAUTION
The high temperature and the pressure of the mixture contained in the circuit can cause severe
burns. Always work with the engine cool and taking utmost care.
CAUTION
Do not place hands or clothing near the electric fan as the latter could start up automatically and
cause serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION
Perform this procedure only when the engine is cool.
If you have to work with the engine warm, take all necessary measures to prevent burns caused by
contact with overheated or pressurised fluid that may drain or leak from the system
Component replacement
CAUTION
The fuel contained in the tanks and in the fuel system is highly flammable. Carry out the operation
when the engine is cool and the tanks are empty, or contain little fuel, to avoid fire risks.
Do not smoke or produce sparks or naked flames near the workplace or in the immediate vicinity.
Electro-injectors
CAUTION
If it is necessary to disconnect any of the fuel supply system's pipelines, remember that they may
be pressurised: this could cause fuel to be sprayed towards the operator. Take special care when
carrying out this operation and keep any naked flames clear of the work area.
CAUTION
In case of damage to pipes (e.g. after an accident) through which foreign matters may enter into
the circuit, the Power Unit, the actuator and the respective pipes must be replaced.
CAUTION
The hydraulic system contains high pressure oil.
steering system
CAUTION
The oil contained in the system can cause injury to eyes and skin and may damage the car's
painted parts.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Component replacement
CAUTION
The fluid used in the braking and clutch system can cause injury to eyes and skin; in case of
contact, rinse the body part involved with abundant running water. In addition, the fluid may
damage the car's painted parts.
CAUTION
NEVER expose the Airbag modules to temperatures over 150 °C (300 °F), since the high
temperature, and not the current, is the factor which triggers bursting.
CAUTION
Before carrying out any intervention or replacing a system component, check that the ignition key
is turned to the STOP position and disconnect the battery
When welding operations have to be performed on the car, the ECU must be disconnected as well.
CAUTION
The driver's and passenger's Airbag modules must be replaced every ten years after their
installation (see C/E plate), even if the car has never been involved in collisions.
No restraining systems for children can be installed on the passenger seat.
Where the legislation in force provides it, children under twelve cannot travel on the front seats.
In the event of a crash with consequent activation of Airbag modules, dispose of the exploded
modules as harmful waste, in accordance with the legislation in force in the related country.
CAUTION
After disconnecting the battery, wait at least one minute before disconnecting the pre-tensioners.
CAUTION
Do not use a percussion screwer.
System draining
CAUTION
Do not drain the coolant near naked flames as this could produce a toxic gas (phosgene).
CAUTION
Do not use naked flames to locate coolant leaks as this produces a toxic gas.

since they have the right facilities for disposing of the used oils and filters, ensuring respect for
the environment and observance of the regulations in force.
• If the engine oil level is close to or actually below the MIN reference mark, add oil through the filler
cap until the MAX reference mark is reached. The oil level should never exceed the MAX reference
point.
caution
When the engine is very hot, do not remove the pan cap: risk of burns!
• The fluid level must be checked when the engine is cold, and it must fall between the MIN and MAX
references marked on the pan. If the level is low, slowly pour the prescribed fluid through the filler neck
on the pan until the level is close to the MAX reference point.
• The operation for filling the engine's water circuit must be carried out by partially unscrewing the
two water outlet caps on the heads. These caps are located in the front section of the engine to permit
breathing of any air contained in the top part of the engine during the filling stage.
important
Make sure that the power steering fluid does not come into contact with the engine’s hot parts as it
is flammable.
• With the vehicle on flat ground and the engine cold, check that the fluid level reaches the MAX
reference point on the tank cap dipstick. To carry out the check, back off the plug, clean the dipstick,
replace and tighten the cap, then remove it again and check the level.
The system is self-draining. Draining is carried out by turning the steering wheel as far as possible to the
left and to the right several times with the engine running and the vehicle stationary. This procedure must
be carried out every time the delivery and return lines which run to the steering box are disconnected
• To add fluid, open the headlight and windscreen washer fluid tank cover, extract the filler neck
extension and pour in the detergent and water mixture, in the proportions indicated on the bottle.
N.B.
If the temperature is below 20°C, use pure detergent fluid.
IMPORTANT
The brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs humidity). For this reason, if the car is used mainly
in areas with a high rate of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be changed more frequently
than indicated in the Service Time Schedule.
IMPORTANT
Do not let the brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, come into contact with the paintwork. If this
does occur, wash the paintwork immediately with water.
The symbol on the container identifies the synthetic type of brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral type. Using mineral fluids damages the special rubber linings of the brake system beyond
repair.

THROTTLE BODY
The motor-driven throttle body is installed between the air flow meter and the intake manifold of the
engine.
This device incorporates a throttle valve, a DC motor and the throttle RPM sensor (potentiometer).
1 - Throttle
2 - Potentiometers
3 - Electric motor
4 - Gearing
In the event of throttle failure, the engine reverts to a recovery condition, i.e. it runds at a maximum speed
of 1500 RPM.
• Working on the tear-clamps that secure the throttle body to the intake manifold and to the front
sleeve,
• disconnect the electrical connector from the throttle body and remove it.
IMPORTANT
Do not place the device on anything that may cause vibration.
After replacing the motor-driven throttle body, you must run a self-learning cycle.
• The self-learning procedure is necessary if the throttle body is replaced, if accidentally switching off
the vehicle with the key in the ON position, and if the battery is disconnected.
• If the vehicle is accidentally turned off with the key in the ON position , the next time the
engine is started, the engine ECU automatically runs the self-learning procedure, therefore, restart the
engine and let it idle for at least 15 seconds.
• If the battery is disconnected , set the ignition switch to ON (KEY ON) and wait at least 15 sec.
After running the self-learning procedure for the "throttle position", run the VVT self-learning procedure;
where necessary, start the engine and let it idle for about 15 seconds.
The engine load and therefore the aspirated air mass (necessary to quantify the amount of fuel) are
measured through the signal generated by the air flow meter.
The air aspirated by the engine passes through the air flow meter and sweeps across the hot-film sensor
inside the air flow duct.
The platinum hot-film sensor is a thermal resistor, i.e. a resistor whose value increases as the temperature
rises.
As the quantity of aspirated air increases, the quantity of heat subtracted to the sensor rises as well. This
causes a reduction in the sensor's resistance. As this is fitted into a "bridge-type" measuring electrical
circuit, it causes an increase in the output voltage, which is detected by the ECU in order to calculate the
quantity of air aspirated by the engine.
The air flow meter is also capable of discriminating the air flow direction, therefore, the data relates to the
actual quantity of air aspirated by the engine with no turbulence.
An air temperature sensor is also incorporated in the air flow meter.
1 - Electrical connector
2 - External body hot-film sensor
3 – External body
4 - Protection grille
5 - Metal mesh
If the air flow meter malfunctions and provides data that are incorrect data or recognised as not plausible
by the ECU, the recovery procedure is activated. This analyses the signal coming from the potentiometer
on the throttle body in order to determine opening of the throttle valve and, as a result, the amount of air
aspirated by the engine. In this case, the adjustment is not as fine as obtained with the air flow meter, but
it is in any case sufficient to keep the vehicle in proper working order, preventing it from stopping.
• Detach the electric connector on the air flow meter and release the two clips from the air filter
housing.
To perform the cylinder compression test, all the ignition spark plugs must be removed.

In order to install the cylinder liners, the crankcase must be heated up in an oven. The crankcase must be
completely bare.
The chokes for the pressurised oil delivered to the heads
have different diameters and are fitted on both cylinder banks. Each choke is fitted on a check valve. Upon
each
overhaul, it is essential to check that this valve is clean and that it works properly. The crankcase is
removed using an extracting tool, while for reassembly it is interference fitted.

intake valves of the first cylinder have already started their travel. Therefore, carefully check the
position on the dial gauge positioned on the tappet.
• Turn the crankshaft 15° beyond the TDC. This corresponds to a piston stroke of 1.75 mm beyond
the TDC.
• Check that the tappet downstroke (begun before the TDC) and hence the intake valve upstroke is
0.59±0.08 mm.
• Should the values measured in these conditions be out of tolerance, hold the crankshaft still,
loosen the screws on the timing variator and turn the intake camshaft until obtaining the desired intake
valve upstroke. For this reason, as described earlier, it is advisable to get ready for the timing
procedure by positioning the variator adjustment slots in the centre of the angular adjustment.

CAUTION
For the KISS-POINT value to be reliable and useful for clutch testing, this should be measured in the
normal clutch operating conditions ([80¸100]°C). To allow the clutch to reach these temperature
conditions, i.e. a stabilised and uniform thermal state, you must perform the following manoeuvres on the
road:
- Warm up the engine by driving normally (without using the clutch) for 5 minutes.
- Perform 4 pick-up manoeuvres by fully depressing the pedal. The pick-up manoeuvre is complete when
synchronisation between the engine and the input shaft has been reached (the clutch will be completely
closed at about 5000 rpm).
- Wait a few seconds between one pick-up and the other.
- Wait for the clutch to reach its operating temperature by driving normally for 5 minutes (ideally at 4000
rpm), avoiding further pick-ups or gearshifts as far as possible. In case of frequent pick-up manoeuvres,
extend the cooling time (15 min.).

Bleed the air from the front braking circuit every time the brake fluid hose is disconnected from the
front calipers, the brake master cylinder or the ABS electro-hydraulic control unit or when brake
malfunction due to air in the circuit is detected.
CAUTION
Any air contained in the hydraulic circuit acts as a "cushion", absorbing a high percentage of the
pressure exerted by the brake master cylinder and reducing braking efficiency. The presence of air
is revealed by "sponginess" of the brake pedal and a reduction of braking efficiency.
• To hold the circuit under pressure during the bleeding operation and to ensure a continuous flow of
oil into the pipes, a commercially available tool similar or with the same characteristics as the one
shown in the figure must be used.
• Check that the oil tank of the tool contains the quantity of oil recommended by the manufacturer. If
the quantity is not sufficient, add the required amount, remembering to ALWAYS release any residual
pressure inside the tool.
• Connect the system pressurisation tool to the brake fluid pan. Position the brake fluid recovery tank

IMPORTANT
When fitting, work crosswise and tighten the screws to a torque of 130 Nm, loosen the stud bolts
and retighten them to a torque of 98 Nm.
• For vehicles equipped with pressure sensors (optional component), in the event that the system is
not calibrated (further to the replacement of a tyre) the system must be calibrated by pressing the
specific button on the front ceiling light fixture for over 4 seconds (but no longer than 10 seconds).
• The system calibration requires 20 minutes at the most, when the vehicle is moving.
• The driver will be advised of completion of the calibration on the instrument panel (Calibration
begun).
• If you intend to leave the vehicle unused for a lengthy period, we recommend you increase the
tyre inflation pressure to 3.2 bar, to prevent them “flattening”.

• The sensors are fastened to the wheel rim, using the inflation valve as an anchoring point.
• The sensor-valve coupling is fundamental for the system to operate correctly.
• Remove the tyre from the wheel rim.
• Block the rotation of the inflation valve by inserting the rod, supplied in the kit, into the hole on the sensor
side.
• Unscrew the nut on the inflation valve and retrieve the washer.
• Remove the sensor with the valve from the wheel rim.
IMPORTANT
Even if only one of the components is damaged, the sensor-valve assembly must be replaced.
Before carrying out any interventions on the rim or on the tyre, you must always check whether the wheel
is equipped with a sensor.
Detaching the tyre from the rim without taking the necessary care could irreparably damage the sensor.
IMPORTANT
The sensor should not be treated with detergents, solvents or any other harsh products.
Do not use pressurised air or fluids (eg. pulivapor) to clean it.
Take special care not to tear the surface which interfaces with the filter (1) on the sensor's lower surface.
Always replace the sensor if this surface is dirty or torn.
The sealant liquid contained in the anti-puncture spray bottles can damage the sensor. Always replace the
sensor on a wheel which has been repaired in this way.
All of the sensor-valve assembly components must be stored in a clean, dry place.
• Clean the area where the sensor makes contact with the wheel rim.
IMPORTANT
Before beginning a new batch of sensors, always use up the components in the old batch as the sensors
have a battery with a limited life-span.
The battery charge range is approximately 80 months. When the battery charge is running low, a warning
light of the tyre pressure monitoring system will come on to indicate a malfunction.
Connect the SD3 tester to check that the malfunction is due to a flat battery.
• The pressure sensors have two different operating frequencies, which depend on their distribution markets:
• Fit the self-locking screw (1) into the sensor hole and tighten the valve (2) giving it two or three turns.
• Fit the valve (1) complete with the sensor, into the hole on the wheel rim.
• Fit the insulating washer (2) and tighten the nut (3) until it is flush.
• Fit the rod (1) into the radial hole on the valve and tighten the nut to a torque of 4 Nm.
• Remove the rod (1).
• Press the sensor gently against the rim so that the sensor’s resting points come into contact with the rim.
• Tighten the self-locking screw fully (1) to a torque of 4 Nm.
IMPORTANT
For proper operation, there must be contact between the rim and the sensor's resting points. If positioned
differently, the system may not function correctly.
Calibration button
• The system calibration button (1) is located on the ceiling light holding the motion sensors, therefore it
cannot be replaced alone, the entire ceiling light must be replaced.
• If the system is not calibrated (for example, further to the replacement of a tire), it must be calibrated by
pressing the specific key on the front ceiling light for over 4 seconds (but no longer than 10 seconds).
• The calibration begins when the moving vehicle exceeds 7 km/h and stops when it drops to below 3 km/h.
• The system takes a maximum of 20 minutes to complete the calibration procedure with the vehicle in motion.
• The calibration process completion will then be indicated on the instrument panel (Calibration started).
• The user can view the pressure levels of the four tyres by pressing the MODE button, which also allows you
to view the other "Tyre pressure" information.
• This screen page remains displayed for 10 seconds.
• Furthermore, the system acknowledges the following conditions:
• In the chapter titled "ECUs and nodes" and the paragraph "Tyre pressure node (NTP)" you will find
explanations on how to remove and refit the tyre pressure monitoring system.

D. Do not heat the Airbag module for example by welding, hammering, drilling or mechanical
machining operations, etc.
• Storage of spares is allowed only with components in their original packing and their temporary
storage is subjected to the same procedure as an undeployed Airbag module removed from the car, i.
e. using a suitable key-locked metal cabinet (shock resistant and provided with grids to allow natural
ventilation inside).
The cabinet shall be provided with suitable warning stickers (DANGER EXPLOSIVES – DO NOT USE
NAKED FLAME – AC-CESS PERMITTED TO AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY).
• Airbags may only be transported in the boot in special containers. Transporting airbags in the
passenger compartment is forbid-den.
• If the electric system is serviced, or an anti-theft system or car radio is installed on a vehicle fitted
with airbag, disconnect both terminals (+) and (-) from the battery and insulate them carefully. If the
inflating devices are to be removed, in addition to discon-necting the battery, wait at least 10 minutes
before starting any servicing operation.
Rules of safety for the handling seat belt assembly with electronic pretensioner
• Pretensioners are explosive charges and must therefore be handled and stored with care to
prevent any damage or injury (Fig. 143).
• Under normal conditions, the pretensioner is triggered only by the electronic control during
collision. A small amount of gas is developed during deployment which mainly contains non-toxic
nitrogen.
The following rules must be STRICTLY complied with for operator safety, to prevent damage to the seat
belt assembly and to meet the laws in force applying to explosives (5th class, group A). Before servicing
the vehicle, disconnect the battery terminals and ISOLATE THEM ACCURATELY; wait 10 minutes before
disconnecting the pretensioner connectors.
Be careful to prevent the assembly from falling and avoid any shock.
N.B.
If a pretensioner has fallen from a height exceeding 1 m, it must not be used and is to be returned
to the sup-plier.
In the event of temporary removal for servicing, place them in a locked metal cabinet suitable for
containing explosive charges.
• Do not approach the assembly with naked flames, liquids, solvents or lubricants and do not expose
it to temperatures exceeding 110°C. With temperatures above 180°C the gas generator may self-ignite.
• To handle a deployed device, use protective gloves and gog-gles.
• Before handling the assembly, ALWAYS let at least 30 minutes elapse before touching it.
• Carefully wash hands with soap and water after handling the device.
n.b.
In the event of exceptional weather conditions (floods, sea storms, etc.) if water and mud reach
such a level as to affect the device components, it must be replaced.
The pretensioner does not require any servicing and must never be lubricated. Any alteration to its
origi-nal conditions will invalidate its efficiency.
Do not expose the area surrounding the pretensioner (60 – 70 cm radius) to heavy shocks (e.g.
hammering); if necessary, remove the complete pretensioner assembly.
- If repairs are carried out on different areas than those men-tioned above, just disconnect the battery
terminals and wait for about 10 minutes.
- For painting operations, use radiant lamps in the area sur-rounding the pretensioner; remove the
pretensioner/re-tractor assembly in the case of welding or brazing.
Ordering procedure
N.B.
The TRW safety system with additional restraining device have been specifically designed for a
certain type of vehicle, therefore they cannot be adapted, re-used or installed on other cars except
those for which they have been designed and manufactured.
Any attempt to re-use, adapt or install a pretensioner on a different type of vehicle might result in serious
injury to passengers and damage to the vehicle in the event of a crash.
1. Rear collision
In the case of collision only from the rear, the airbag is not operated as the vehicle occupants are pushed
backwards and not for-wards towards the steering wheel. Conversely if the vehicle is pushed from behind
against any obstacle, the airbag can deploy only if the second collision is sufficiently violent.
2. Side collision
The airbag is not operated in the case of a side collision. If the vehicle was travelling forwards, the
deceleration rate might cause airbag deployment. However, the system has been designed to be deployed
in the case of front collision, within a deviation angle of +30° to the direction of travel.
Heavy and stringent tests, very often producing heavy damage to the suspensions and body as a
consequence of the stress trans-mitted from uneven or bumpy roads do not result in airbag deployment.
Therefore, the airbag is not deployed during braking, on narrow bends or on uneven and bumpy roads.
In the event of deployment, the airbag impact is designed to be directed towards the head and chest of
passengers, therefore part of the impact could reach the glasses worn by the passenger. However any
possible injury will be consistently less critical than injuries resulting from impact of the head and chest
against the steering wheel or windscreen. For further protection, the Airbag is suitably shaped and hinged
along the break line and it is tightly retrained to prevent fragments or other materials causing injury to
persons.
The airbag is an additional restraint device designed to operate in conjunction with safety belts. Therefore,
max. efficiency of the system is achieved with the safety belt fastened. In the case of head-on collision, the
passenger’s head and chest are protected against the steering wheel, dashboard and windscreen; if the
seat belts are not fastened, serious injuries might result to the knees, legs and wrists.
The cushion itself is not hot, while the components inside the module remain hot for a short time.
These components are accessible and can, therefore, cause burns.
The airbag is designed to deploy automatically if, in case of fire, vehicle temperature exceeds 150°C.
Under this condition the airbag might deploy without exploding or breaking the gas container (or sodium
azide). All the most effective means may be used to extinguish, water included.
If the airbag did not deploy during the crash, it can no longer explode as the sensors that send the signals
to the control unit are designed to respond only in the case of the heavy stresses developed during a
crash, therefore it is impossible or highly unlikely that these signals can be sent with the vehicle stationary.
To deactivate the airbag, disconnect the battery cables and wait approx. 10 minutes to cut out the backup
The noise produced when an airbag deploys is relatively loud, however it is considerably lower than the
noise produced by the

In order to meet the requirements of the laws in force in the United States, a device has been developed for the
Quattroporte to detect when a seat is occupied. This device has been designed to deactivate the front passenger
airbag in certain conditions.
If the passenger seat is not occupied or if a child seat is detected, the front passenger airbag is deactivated by the
airbag ECU.
The airbag deactivation is signaled by a warning light on the instrument panel.
The weight sensor assembly is installed under the passenger seat runners and is secured directly to the vehicle
bodywork.
This device is connected to the airbag system by means of an ECU which directly communicates with the airbag ECU.
The weight sensor assembly is made up as follows:
The ECU processes the signals received from the weight sensors (pressure). Based on the pressure values received,
the ECU is capable of detecting the total weight on the passenger seat.
If the weight is less than or equal to 25 kg, the ECU detects that a child seat may be fitted on the passenger seat, and
the front airbag is therefore deactivated.
If the weight is between 25 kg and 40 kg, the ECU, based on the pressure read by the weight sensors and the type of
impact detected by the pre-contact sensors, decides whether or not to activate the front passenger airbag.
If the weight is more than 40 kg, the ECU detects the presence of an adult and activates the front passenger airbag.
The weight sensors continuously communicate the pressure status detected to the relative ECU, so helping ensure
immediate adjustment of the airbag status depending on the weight variation.
The layout of the components in the weight sensor assembly must NEVER be modified.
MASERATI does not authorize replacement of the components installed as individual parts.
In the event of a faulty component, all the components need to be replaced together.
The weight sensors are safety components and should therefore be treated as such. Carefully read the warnings listed in
the specific chapter.
• Remove the passenger-side mat from the passenger compartment in order to access the screws that fasten the weight
sensor frame.
• Undo the front retaining screws and retrieve the two screws and all the washers, taking care to mark their position so

• Unscrew the rear fastening nut and retrieve the nut and all the washers, taking care to mark their position so that they
can be refitted in the same place.
• Undo the rear retaining screw and retrieve the screw and all the washers, taking care to mark their position so that
• Detach the electrical connectors for the weight sensor wiring, then remove the entire assembly (this will be supplied as
a single spare part).
• Fit the washers previously removed onto the frame, carefully following the instructions given in the figure.
• Fastening the reclined panel: fit the convex washer (1) so that its flat surface faces the vehicle floor, fit the double
concave washer (2) and the split washer (3).
• Planar fastening elements: The fitting sequence for the three planar fastening elements is the following: plastic
washer (4), convex washer (5) with its flat surface facing downward, double concave washer (6).
• Position the double concave washer (1) and screw down the fastening nut (2) using your hands only.
• Position the washers and the fastening screw, of the same type, in the same quantity and following the same
sequence noted during removal, and screw down the rear fastening screw.
• Position the washers and the fastening screw, of the same type, in the same quantity and following the same
sequence noted during removal, and screw down the rear fastening screw.
• Place the passenger compartment mat on the weight sensor, positioning it correctly so that it does not interfere with or
affect the weight sensors or the seat.
• Position a metal guard on the weight sensor assembly, so as to protect it while refitting the other components
previously removed.
• When the weight sensors have been replaced or removed and refitted, the calibration cycle
with the SD3 tester must be performed in order to test proper functioning of the sensors.
• This cycle must be performed periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Schedule.
• Using SD3 Net connected to the SD3 tester, run the PERSONAL COMPUTER
DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE RUNNING procedure.
• Follow the on-screen instructions and fill in the vehicle data sheet.
• The sensor calibration cycle will be interrupted to allow you to move the seat (as indicated on
the screen) for the first data acquisition session.
• Position the seat as requested by the system, also fastening the seat belt.
• Follow the guided procedure, during which the tester will perform a test on the system,
displaying any errors detected.
• The program performs a test of all the system components and initialises the ECU if
necessary.
• A screen page will then appear and you will be prompted to position a weight of 25 kg on the
front passenger seat for the first acquisition of the data, that will be read and sent to the ECU by
the weight sensors.
• The data acquired, the occupant class (based on the weight on the seat) and the values
acquired by the four sensors with a maximum tolerance of 1 kg will be then displayed.
OCCUPANT CLASS: Type of occupant detected based on the weight on the seat.
TOTAL WEIGHT: Total weight detected (in this case 25 kg)
The data shown in the boxes relating to the sensors are not significant, since the procedure has been
executed with the vehicle without the 25 kg weight.
• Continue the procedure performing the various operations requested by the program.
• Change the seat position to perform the second test on the weight sensors, again with 25 kg
positioned on the seat.
• Check that the data acquired is correct and within the tolerance range.
• Check that the AIRBAG warning light is on and press YES, then continue with the procedure.
• Change the seat position to perform the third test on the weight sensors, again with 25 kg
positioned on the seat.
• Check that the data acquired is correct and within the tolerance range.
• Check that the AIRBAG warning light is on and press YES , then continue with the procedure.
• Change the seat position to perform the fourth test on the weight sensors, again with 25 kg
positioned on the seat.
• Change the seat position to perform the fourth test on the weight sensors, again with 25 kg
positioned on the seat.
• Check that the data acquired is correct and within the tolerance range.
• Check that the AIRBAG warning light is on and press YES , then continue with the procedure.
• The diagnostic cycles on the sensors with 25 kg weight have now been completed. If the data
shown in the tables is correct and therefore the procedure has not been interrupted, the program
then performs the same steps requesting a weight of 40 kg.
• Follow the guided procedure moving the seat when requested by the program and in the
order illustrated for the tests with 25 kg weight.
• At the end of the cycle, whatever the outcome, print the listing with the summary of the data
acquired and keep it in the vehicle logbook.
• If the cycle was not completed successfully, check what caused the incorrect procedure.
• In addition to the active diagnosis with SD3, it is important to visually inspect that no objects
interfere with the weight sensors.
• It is important to check that there are no objects under the seat which may affect the test.
• Also check that, as a result of normal wear, the passenger mat has not moved from its
original position. This would cause it to interfere with the side of the seat, creating friction and
hence affecting the test values.
This section is an integral part of the section "MANDATORY SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR
OPERATIONS ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAG SYSTEM” and it deals with management
and warnings concerning the passenger airbag system controlled by the weight sensors.
For the best protection in the event of a collision, all the vehicle's occupants must travel seated and
protected by all the suitable restraining systems. The seat belts are designed to be used by persons
whose physical characteristics (age, height, weight) are provided for by established legislation in each
country. Anyone who does not comply with these provisions may not travel in the front passenger seat.
This also applies to children. Their heads are proportionally heavier and larger than those of adults, while
their bones and muscles are relatively undeveloped. To help protect them in case of a collision, they must
use special restraint or safety systems, even in the rear seat.
WARNING
Incorrect fastening of a child restraint system increases the risk of injury to the child in the event
of a collision.
The use of specific restraint systems for newborns and children is mandatory, as provided by the law in all
the 50 States of the United States, the District of Columbia, the USA territory and the Canadian provinces.
Newborns and children must travel seated in suitable restraint systems, using adequate safety abdominal
or diagonal belts or, if present, an upper anchoring point and a system with 2 lower anchoring points, in
order to be compliant with the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 225 and with the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 210.2.
WARNING
Children under 12 years of age may not travel on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Never place an object over or near the driver and passenger airbags. In the event that the
passenger airbag is deployed, it will project any object over it, or near it, in the passenger
compartment at very high speed. The object will be transformed into a projectile propelled in the
passenger compartment. This could cause serious injuries.
WARNING
The airbag modules must be replaced at the intervals indicated in the “Warranty Booklet and
Maintenance Schedule”, even if the vehicle was not involved in collisions.
Activate the passenger-side airbag if the weight of the passenger traveling in the front passenger seat is
higher than that of a small woman weighing 103 lbs (47 Kg);
disable or enable passenger airbag deployment if a child heavier than a typical one-year old infant is
seated on the front passenger seat;
deactivate the passenger-side airbag if the nobody is traveling in the front passenger seat or if an object is
placed on top of it (object weight under 75 lbs - 34 kg).
The status of the passenger airbag will be indicated by the warning light “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” (F)
on the roof panel:
- when passenger airbag deployment is disabled, the warning light “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” will be
illuminated;
- when passenger airbag deployment is enabled, the warning light “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” will NOT
be illuminated.
WARNING
Adults should not ride in the front passenger seat if the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” light is
illuminated.
WARNING
The extra weight applied to the seat during child seat installation might delay correct occupant
classification if the ignition key is in position MAR (ON) when the child seat is being mounted.
After key MAR (ON) the Occupant Classification System will continuously try to classify every object or
person on the front passenger seat in one of two categories: “Infant” (for which passenger airbag
deployment is dangerous and must be disabled) or “Adult” (for which passenger airbag deployment is
beneficial and must be provided). Occupants or objects lighter than a typical one-year old child sitting on a
child seat (including an empty seat) will be classified as “infant”. Occupants or objects heavier than a small
adult will be classified as “adult”.
If the Occupant Classification System identifies the front passenger as an “infant”, the passenger airbag
deployment will be disabled and the warning light “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” on the roof panel will be
illuminated.
If the Occupant Classification System identifies the front passenger as an “adult”, passenger airbag
deployment will be enabled and the warning light “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” will not be illuminated.
WARNING
The system does not disable the front passenger seat belt pretensioner (also known as emergency
tensioning device).
When the key is turned to be MAR (ON) position, the system will require a few seconds to identify the
passenger on the front seat. As long as the system is in the process of classifying the occupant, the
default setting will be “infant”, to avoid the risk of injuring an infant during this time.
If the Occupant Classification System identifies a change in the classification of the front passenger after
the vehicle is started (for example, if the driver stops without turning off the engine to allow a front
passenger to come in or get out), the system will update the passenger airbag status and the
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” warning light status accordingly.
Please note that the system will take some time to update the front passenger classification when the
passenger status changes.
If the Occupant Classification System recognizes an internal error, it will signal the airbag control unit that
there may be a malfunction, and the control unit will attempt to:
WARNING
When a passenger is sitting in the front seat:
- always check that no objects are stuck underneath the seat;
- always check that no objects are loose on the floor, either in front, or behind the seat;
- check that no objects contacts the seat;
- instruct the rear occupants not to lean on the front passenger seat, and not to push with their legs
against it;
- make sure the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” light status is appropriate for the type of occupant (ON for a
child in a rearward-facing child seat, OFF for an adult, either ON or OFF for a child properly secured in a
forward- facing child restraint system).
