steering wheel MASERATI GHIBLI 2019 Workshop Manual

wheel, the instrument cluster will
display a series of warnings to alert
the driver to return their hands to the
steering wheel. There will also be
audible chimes. After a set amount of
time, HAS will cancel if the driver’s
hands are not returned to the steering
wheel.
When the system does not sense the
hands on the steering wheel for a few
seconds (3 – 5 seconds) or more (up to
10 seconds), it tries to draw the
attention of the driver by showing,
even when the display is not in the
"Driver Assist" page, the
symbol
with the figure of the hands in the
centre of the display. According to
such time frames, the system will
change the attention level colour,
silence the audio in the vehicle (if it is
active) and emit audible chimes to
invite the driver to take the control of
the vehicle again. This is the only way
to reengage the system.
Hands Detection on Steering
Wheel The sensors in the steering wheel
outer crown are able to detect the
presence of the hands on the steering
wheel. In order to be able to use the HAS
system, place your hands around the
steering wheel outer crown.
NOTE:
• The sensors are not able to detect
the presence of the hands on the
steering wheel areas covered in
wood, plastic bezels or carbon
inserts (where present).
HAS is deactivated if the steering
wheel is no longer being touched.
System Statuses The active status of the HAS system is
indicated by the green attention level
colour which is maintained even if the
driver releases his/her grip from the
steering wheel up to 3 seconds.
The yellow attention level colour
appears when the driver removes
his/her hands from the steering wheel for 3 to 5 seconds and the
symbol
with the figure of the hands will
occupy the whole central area of the
display.
The red attention level colour appears
when the driver releases his/her grip
from the steering wheel for 5 and up
to 10 seconds: in this case a single
audible chime is repeated until he/she Driver Assist Page
Non-Driver Assist PageDriving

277

will take the control of the vehicle
again.
The red attention level colour remains
even when the steering wheel is
released for more than 8 to 10
seconds. In this case, if you are
travelling at a speed above 25 mph
(40 km/h) a sequences of 3 audible
chimes will be emitted after 8 seconds and a message will inform the driver
that the HAS system has been
disengaged, instructing him/her to grip
the steering wheel again. The same
will happen after 10 seconds if you
travel at a speed below 25 mph
(40 km/h). Then the
symbol on TFT
display will become grey.
If the driver keeps his/her hands away
from the steering wheel (for more
than 8 to 10 seconds), also the ACC
system is deactivated (
white ACC
symbol on the display) and will have to
be reset. The aid of LKA system will be
disabled as well. In these cases the
display will not show the attention
level colour anymore and the vehicle
will be controlled by the driver only.
HAS Disengage To disengage HAS you can do any of
the following actions: • Press the
HAS enable button on
the steering wheel.
• Begin steering manually.
• Press brake pedal.
• Turn off ACC.
• Unbuckle the driver’s seat belt.
• Press ACC Gap button for two
seconds to enable CC system.
• Shift out of the (D) Drive gear.
• Enter an Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) event (See chapter
"Forward Collision Warning - FCW"
in this section).
• Turn signal activated.
System Cancellation The HAS system will cancel (without
driver intervention) if either of the
following actions occur:
• Curve that is too tight.
• When leaving the grip of the hands
on the steering wheel.
• Vehicle exits the highway or limited
access freeway.
• Lane line markers aren’t detected by
the forward facing camera.
• Any ADAS system faults.
• ACC cancellation.
• Vehicle speed exceeds the maximum
limit.Driver Assist Page

• Lateral accelerations exceeds the
limits.
NOTE:
• When HAS cancels, the symbol
will turn red then grey.
• The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a
more robust hands detection.
System Limitations HAS is unable to guide the vehicle
when the following conditions occur.
• Lane markings are not clear or
visibility is poor (i.e. heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Obstructed, covered or damaged
forward-facing camera or sensor.
• When driving on hills or sharp
curves.
• When approaching toll booths.
• When the highway entrance or exit
is wider than 20 ft (6 meters).
• Bright light (ex. direct sunlight or
glare) facing the forward camera. WARNING!
Many unforeseen conditions can occur
that can affect the performance of
Highway Assist (HAS). Always keep
this in mind and drive attentively. It is
the drivers responsibility to keep
control of the vehicle at all times.
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com.Traffic Sign Assist – TSA
(optional) TSA detects traffic signs through the
use of a forward-facing digital camera
mounted on windshield, behind the
rear-view mirror. TSA assists the driver
by displaying on the instrument
cluster detected speed limits and
traffic signs with a restriction
indicated by an additional sign (e.g. in
snow conditions). TSA also uses the
data of the navigation system, in
order to provide information to the
driver in all cases in which the camera
is not able to detect the traffic signs
that are present on the road where
the car is travelling.
Some examples of these are: due to
low visibility, light reflection, damaged
traffic signs, traffic signs in wrong
position like rotated or fallen poles.
NOTE:
• Overtaking restriction signs are not
displayed by the TSA system.
• TSA provides a visual warning to the
driver when he/she unintentionally
reaches the maximum speed limit
allowed or when it exceeds the set
“Sensitivity” value.

109. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel, than the
minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup
and possible tire failure.
Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is
essential for safety and best
performance of your vehicle. The tire
pressure monitoring system “TPMS”
setup on the vehicle (see “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System” in this section)
may alert the driver about insufficient
tire pressure even though the driver is
responsible for regularly checking the
tire pressure.
Radial tires fitted on the vehicle may
look properly inflated even when they
actually are under inflated. Do not
make a visual judgment when
determining proper inflation. Three primary driving aspects are
affected by improper tire pressure:
Safety
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires can be
dangerous.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing
and can result in tire overheating.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability
to cushion shock. Objects on the
road and potholes can cause damage
that results in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires
can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side
of the vehicle to the other can cause
the vehicle to drift to the right or
left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated
to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
Economy
Improper
inflation pressures may cause
uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal
wear patterns will reduce tread life
resulting in a need for earlier tire
replacement. Under-inflation also
increases tire rolling resistance
resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Ride comfort and vehicle stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over-inflation
produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
Tire Pressure Checkup The proper cold tire inflation pressure
is indicated on the driver's side rear
door pillar and on the table “Tire
Inflation Pressure” in section “Features
and Specifications”.
Inflation pressure specified on the
table always refers to “cold tire
inflation pressure”. Cold tire inflation
pressure is defined as the tire pressure
after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less
than 1 mi (1.6 km) after a three hour
period.
Check tire pressures more often in case
of significant outside temperature
changes, as tire pressure varies
according to temperature changes.
The pressure should be checked and if
necessary adjusted; tire wear andDriving

replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
Your Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to provide suggestions as to
the types of tires most suited to the
use foreseen by the Customer.
WARNING!
• Do not use a tire, wheel size or
rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may
change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics,
resulting in altered steering,
handling, and braking operations of
the vehicle. This can cause
unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension
components. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings
appointed for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load
index or capacity, other than what
was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller
load index could result in tire
overloading and failure.
• Always check the maximum speed
rating on the tire sidewall on any tire on the vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tires. Risk of accident
and serious personal injury due to
excessive speed.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed
capability can result in tire failure.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Winter Tires These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle. Winter or all-season tires can
be identified by the M+S (Mud &
Snow) or 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain
Snow Flake) designation on the tire
sidewall.
Before mounting winter tires, contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer to
receive the technical information
necessary to advise you on wheel and
tire compatibility.
As to the type of tires to use, inflation
pressures and winter tires specifications, carefully follow the
indications as reported in the
“Technical Data” and “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapters in section “Features
and Specifications”.
WARNING!
The standard tires profile and rubber
mixture are optimized for wet and dry
driving conditions. Standard tires may
not prove favorable for snow
conditions.
NOTE:
Snow
tires should have the same load
capacity as original equipment tires
and should be mounted on all four
wheels.
Snow Chains Maserati approved traction devices (or
snow chains) may be used to improve
traction on compacted snow in heavy
snow conditions.
The use of snow chains is specified by
local regulations of each country.
Use snow chains of reduced
dimensions, with a maximum
projection of 0.23 in (6 mm) beyond
the tire tread.Driving

• Pull the release cable moderately to
avoid its possible break. It's not
possible to feel or hear the unlocking
of the fuel filler door actuator.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door. Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to have
the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent them from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any case,
it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below.
• Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention.Driving

Wheels Maintenance Tires Maintenance CAUTION!
To obtain the best performances and
the longest mileage from the tires,
take the following precautions during
the first 310 mi (500 km):
• do not drive at the vehicle’s
maximum speed;
• drive at low speed on curves;
• avoid sudden steering;
• avoid sudden braking;
• avoid sudden acceleration;
• do not drive at high speeds for too
long.
The tires inflation pressure must
correspond
to the prescribed values
(see the chapter “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”) and should be
checked only when the tires have
cooled down. In fact, the pressure
increases as the tire temperature
progressively increases.
Never reduce the pressure if tires are
hot (see “Tires – General Information”
chapter in section “Driving”). Insufficient tire inflating pressure can
cause tire overheating and possible
internal damage.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage it.
Impacts with curbs, holes, and
obstacles
in the road, and prolonged
trips on rough roads can cause tire
damage which may not be visible to
the naked eye.
Check your tires regularly for any signs
of damage (e.g. scratches, cuts, cracks,
bulges, etc.). If sharp objects penetrate
the tires, they can cause structural
damage which is only visible when the
tire is removed.
In any case, any possible damage must
be inspected by an experienced
technician, as it may seriously reduce
the tire life.
Remember that tires deteriorate with
time, even if used little or not at all.
Cracks in the tire tread and sides,
alongside possible bulging, are a sign
of deterioration. WARNING!
• Check the inflating pressure of the
tires when cold, at least every two
weeks and before long trips.
• Have old tires inspected by an
experienced technician, to make
sure they can still be used safely. If
the same tire has been on your
vehicle for 4 or 5 years, have it
inspected anyway by an
experienced technician.
• Never fit tires of uncertain origin.
• “Directional” tires have an arrow on
their side showing the rolling
direction. To keep the best
performance when replacing a tire,
make sure that the rolling direction
corresponds to the one shown by
the arrow.
• During the tire life, the rolling
direction used for the first fitting
should always be observed, also in
case of “nondirectional” tires.
• Check the depth of the tire tread at
regular intervals. The thinner is the
tread, the greater is the risk of
skidding.
• Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.Maintenance and Care
