MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE 2019 Owners Manual

• Outside temperature too low.
• The system cannot read the vehicle
speed.
CAUTION!
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the system properly
repaired. Soft Top Failure In the event of a failure of the
hydraulic and electric soft top
movement systems, the relative
symbol will illuminate on the
instrument cluster display
accompanied by a message indicating
that automatic movement is not
available.
In these cases, check that the soft top
is in a safe position, and if not,
complete the movement manually (see "Soft Top Manual Closing Operation"
in this chapter).
CAUTION!
If a soft top failure is signalled,
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the problem corrected.
WARNING!
If the soft top has jammed in an
intermediate position, because its
movement was intentionally stopped
or due to a failure of the hydraulic
and electric systems, after remaining
in this position for approx. 10 minutes
the hydraulic circuit loses pressure.
This condition allows the soft top and
the relative housing cover (driven by
their weight) to reach a resting
position. Therefore, take the greatest
care to avoid that people or objects in
the vicinity may interfere with the
soft top travel during this time.
In this case, do not operate the soft
top using the buttons until the system
has reached a steadily balanced
position (fully open or fully closed).Understanding the Vehicle

NOTE:
The soft top failure temporarily
disables, for approx. 10 minutes, the
power windows’ operation. After this
time, the power windows will resume
normal functioning.
Soft Top Manual Closing
Operation In case of need, the soft top may be
closed manually.
WARNING!
• Manual operation of the soft top for
emergency closing requires the
presence of two persons in order to
prevent personal injury or damage
to the car.
• When moving the soft top by hand,
take the greatest care as its movable
parts could squeeze or trap objects
or parts of your body.
CAUTION!
The emergency procedure described
below must be used to close the soft
top if it is not possible for you to
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately and you cannot
keep the soft top open. If the failure occurs when the opening
procedure
is already in progress, do
not attempt to complete the
procedure - close back the soft top
manually according to the following
instructions. After depressurizing the
hydraulic circuit by turning the key in
the ignition switch to STOP (OFF)
position, perform the emergency
procedure starting from the point at
which the opening stage jammed.
WARNING!
After depressurizing the system, the
soft top will move freely. Therefore, if
it is not in a balanced position, it will
close or open as a consequence of its
weight. Take the greatest care to
avoid being squeezed or trapped by
its levers and mechanisms.
Before Starting
NOTE:
• During
emergency closing, the side
windows must be lowered.
•
To move the soft top manually, you
must depressurize the hydraulic system
by turning the key in the ignition
switch to
STOP (OFF) position and
waiting approx. 10 minutes. • To avoid unintentional activations,
we recommend that you remove the
key from the ignition switch. Take
the flat-head screwdriver and the
wrench to lock/unlock the soft top
hinges out of the tool kit located in
the trunk compartment (see "Tool
Kit" in section "In an Emergency").
Soft Top Closing
• Using a flat head screwdriver, remove
the access covers (housed on both
sides of the compartment) turning
the relative fastening screws
counterclockwise by a quarter of a
turn.
• Reach the small cables through the
slots and pull them to unlock the soft
top cover locks.
• Reassemble the access covers and
lock them turning the following
screw clockwise.Understanding the Vehicle

• Manually raise the soft top cover,
placing your hands as shown in the
figure, and hold it in a vertical
position resting it on your shoulder
for example. • Remove the soft top from its
compartment by moving the front
section to approx. half its travel,
until reaching a balanced position.
• Lower the soft top cover until
latching the locks. CAUTION!
Before proceeding with the closing
procedure, ensure that the two soft
top cover locks are properly latched.
• Place the rear section of the soft top
on
the soft top cover.
• Insert the soft top unlocking/ locking
wrench in its seating.Understanding the Vehicle

• Turn the wrench clockwise to move
the soft top edge closer to the
windshield, and fasten the fastening
latches inside the locks.
• Remove the unlocking/locking
wrench from the soft top seat and
place it in the tool kit box together
with the screwdriver. Windstop (optional) The Windstop consists of a panel fitted
behind the front seats, which prevents
the wind from creating turbulence in
the passenger compartment when the
soft top is open. The Windstop can
also be left installed with soft top
closed.
WARNING!
With Windstop installed you can not
carry passengers in the rear seats.
The Windstop is normally stored in a
protective
bag inside the trunk
compartment.
This bag is secured inside the
compartment by means of a strap.
CAUTION!
• It is recommended not to place sharp
and pointed objects which may
contact the protective bag in the
trunk compartment, unless they are
firmly secured.
• You should not place objects on the
Windstop protective bag, even if
they are secured, as they may damage the Windstop with their
weight.
NOTE:
If
the vehicle is equipped with spare
wheel (optional), it may not house in
the trunk compartment the Windstop
inside its bag.
Fitting the Windstop • Take the Windstop out of its bag.
• Turn the lower left-hand part, until it
is fully laid out.
• Join the rear section to the base of
the Windstop.Understanding the Vehicle

• If already extracted, retract the rear
pins on the sides of the Windstop
base by sliding inward the relative
guide.
• Lift the upper left-hand part of the
windbreaker until it is fully opened.
• By acting on the bottom of the
Windstop base, push outward the
red lever shown in the detail of
picture and release it in order to
insert the coupling pin on the end
ring of the upper part of the
windbreaker. CAUTION!
During the following installation
operations, take the greatest care to
avoid damaging the internal trims of
the vehicle.
• Bring the front part of the Windstop
base
in position on the vehicle.
• Fit the pin in the relative seat on the
rear right-hand panel of the vehicle
by sliding out the guide pin. • Perform the same operation to
engage the opposite pin on the left
side of the Windstop base.
• Keep the rear pins in the retracted
position moving the pin's handle in
the direction of the arrows shown in
the detail of picture.
• Let the pins go. In this way the
Windstop base will result firmly fixed
to the vehicle.
• Align the pins on their seats on the
rear panels of the vehicle and let the
pins go. In this way the Windstop
base will result firmly fixed to the
vehicle.Understanding the Vehicle

• Raise the upper section until it is in a
vertical position.
CAUTION!
• Do not fasten any object to the
Windstop.
• Never place any object on the
Windstop.
• When the Windstop is fitted, if you
tilt the backrest or move the seat backward you must take the greatest
care to avoid that the two parts
touch each other and so cause
damages.
• Never place pointed or sharp objects
on the rear seats, under the
Windstop when fitted.
Windstop Removal Perform the operations opposite to
those outlined above and in reverse
order.
NOTE:
To be able to fold up the upper part of
the windbreaker, unlock the pin by
pushing the small lever indicated in
the picture. Interior Features Electric Power Outlets The vehicle is equipped with two 12
Volt (13 Amp) electric power outlets.
One in passenger compartment on the
central console, under the cover with

or MAR (ON) position.
Power outlets are protected by a fuse.
Insert a cigarette lighter or accessory
plug into the power outlets to ensure
proper operation. Otherwise, check
the matching fuse integrity, see “Fuse
Replacement” in section “Maintenance
and Care” for further information.
CAUTION!
• Do not plug in accessories that
exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts.
• Power outlets are designed for
accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlets
as this will damage the outlet andUnderstanding the Vehicle

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this
type of outlet should be inserted
into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Replacing the fuses that protect
power outlets with others of higher
amperage, there is the risk of fire.
