ignition MASERATI QUATTROPORTE 2019 Manual PDF

During engagement and
disengagement procedures, the
warning light
flashes until the
parking brake has reached its
maximum activation force and is
respectively fully released.
In the above-mentioned conditions,
the automatic engagement function
can be deactivated/activated by
selecting the menu item “Vehicle
settings” on the main menu (refer to
paragraph “Deactivating Automatic
Operation” in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement The parking brake can also be
manually engaged or disengaged
when the engine is running or the
ignition switch is in the RUN position,
by pressing the brake pedal and raising the lever located behind the
shift lever.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer and the related message
will be displayed for 5 seconds on the
instrument cluster.
If you attempt to engage/disengage
the parking brake without having
pressed the brake pedal, a message
will be displayed, warning you to
proceed.
If the engine was turned off when the
automatic engagement device was
deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward
within 3 minutes after turning off. CAUTION!
The main function of the EPB is to
allow safe parking of the vehicle,
therefore it must only be applied
when the vehicle is already stationary.
If the EPB is used while the vehicle is
moving and decelerating until a speed
lower of 3 mph (5 km/h) and, in
particular, until complete stop
(typically in a sudden brake), it is
necessary to have the EPB system
checked by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
WARNING!
• Always hold the brake pedal pressed
during engagement or
disengagement of the parking brake.
• The EPB command activation while
running generates a deceleration of
the vehicle with strong deceleration
(Dynamic Braking). It is therefore
recommended to use this feature
only in case of emergency. The
stability of the car is guaranteed by
the action of the activated ESC
system.Driving

WARNING!
Never leave the electronic Cruise
Control system on when not in use.
You could accidentally set the system
or cause it to go faster than you want.
Always leave the system off when you
are not using it.
Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)
Minimum 18 (30)
Engaged/activated 18 (30)
Maximum 130 (210)
Setting Desired Speed Turn on the CC function. When the
vehicle has reached the desired speed
(in the example: 60 mph), push
downward the multifunction switch
(SET -) and release.
The
green light below the desired
speed will illuminate on the
instrument cluster display. Release the accelerator and the vehicle
will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a
steady speed and on level ground
before pushing the switch downward.
Pressing the
“ON/OFF” button or
the ACC Gap button for 2 seconds (in
the Optional Configuration) or moving
the ignition switch in OFF position
erases the set speed memory.
Changing Speed Setting Pushing the multifunction switch
upward (RES +) or downward (SET -)
once, or by holding it down, will
enable to increase or decrease the set
speed by one unit (1 mph or 1 km/h). If
the car is equipped with ADAS
Systems, the single press of the
multifunction switch will increase or decrease the set speed of 1 mph or
1 km/h; a continuous pressure of the
same will increase or decrease the set
speed of 5 mph or 10 km/h.
Release the switch when the desired
speed is reached, and the new set
speed will be visualized below the
green light.
Each subsequent tap of the
multifunction switch will increase or
decrease the speed by 1 mph or
1 km/h.
Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pressing
the multifunction switch (CANC), or
normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will temporarily deactivate
the CC without erasing the set speed
memory. The
white light with
below the set speed will appear on the
display.Driving

(Continued)
• The ACC system applies the brake
down to a full stop when following a
target vehicle. If an ACC host vehicle
follows a target vehicle to a
standstill, after a two or three second
delay, the system will not be able to
resume driving the car
autonomously. At this point it is
necessary for the driver to manually
reengage the system by either using
the multifunction control (press SET-
or RES+) or by pressing the
accelerator pedal (see “ACC
Operation Before and During Stop”
in this chapter).
• The ACC system maintains set speed
when driving up hill and down hill.
However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. In addition,
downshifting may occur while
climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation
and necessary to maintain set speed.
When driving uphill and downhill,
the ACC system will cancel if the
braking temperature exceeds normal
range.
Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the multifunction control (CANC), or normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will temporarily deactivate
the ACC without erasing the set speed
memory. The
white light will appear
on the display with below the set
speed.
Conditions for Disabling and
Deactivation Besides the cases specified in the
previous paragraph, the following
conditions will disable the system:
• Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) kicks in.
• Transmission lever is not in D (Drive).
• The Electronic Stability Control and
the Traction Control System (ESC/TCS)
activate.
• Vehicle parking brake is operated.
• The driver safety belt is unbuckled at
low speed.
• The driver door is ajar at low speed.
• The driver disabled the ESC using the
(ESC OFF) button on central
console.
• The road is too steep both uphill and
downhill at low speed.
The system is deactivated and set
speed is deleted from system memory,
if the ACC ON/OFF button is pressed or
if ignition device is turned to OFF .Resuming Speed If a speed setting is stored in system
memory, press the multifunction
control (RES +) up and take foot off
the accelerator pedal. The last set
speed will be displayed.
WARNING!
The resume function should be used
only when road and traffic conditions
allow it. Resuming a too high or too
low speed for current traffic and road
conditions could cause a harsh vehicle
acceleration or deceleration which
could increase the risk of collisions
and death or serious injury.
Setting the ACC Gap The specified ACC gap can be set by
varying the distance setting among the
four possible options identified by the
number of horizontal bars:
• Maximum (longest) distance: 4 bars.
• Long distance: 3 bars (default
distance).
• Medium distance: 2 bars.
• Short distance: 1 bar.
Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets
the gap to the vehicle ahead.Driving

Setting options are described in the
following paragraph.
When FCW status for some reason
changes to off, the corresponding
amber warning light on instrument
cluster will light on.
This warning light informs the driver
that FCW is disabled. This warning
light will light even when the
activation of another driver assistance
feature or drive mode (example:
(ESC OFF)) disables the FCW. NOTE:
The FCW system setting is kept in
memory from one key cycle to the
next.
Changing FCW Sensitivity and
Active Braking The default status of FCW Sensitivity is
the “Medium” setting. When the
active braking function (“Forward
Collision Warning Active Braking”)
setting is on, the system warns you of
a possible collision with the vehicle in
front of you when you are farther
away and it applies limited braking.
This gives you the most reaction time
to help avoid a possible collision.
Changing the sensitivity status to the
“Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the “Far”
sensitivity setting, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
“Medium” is the intermediate status
between the two described above. NOTE:
• The default values shall appear at
every new ignition cycle: Sensitivity =
“Medium” and Active Braking = on.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant
objects such as objects not in the
path of the car, stationary objects
that are far away, oncoming traffic,
on cross traffic vehicles, or leading
vehicles with the same or higher rate
of speed.
• The active braking (autonomous
braking/braking aid) will not be
provided in case of potential collision
with static object such as guard rails,
walls, etc..).
• FCW will be disabled like ACC (refer
to chapter “Adaptive Cruise Control -
ACC” in this section.
Changing the active braking status to
“Off” prevents the system fromDriving

The instrument cluster will also display
a screenshot reporting the pressure
values of each tire with flashing low
pressure value.
Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tire/s
with the low pressure (the one/s
flashing in the instrument cluster
graphic) to the recommended cold
pressure inflation value. Once the
system receives the updated tire
pressure value, the system will automatically update, the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will
stop flashing, and the TPMS light
will turn off. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
Tire Pressure System Fault
If a system fault is detected, the TPMS
light
will flash for 75 seconds and
then remain lit followed by a beeping
sound. Therewith, the instrument
cluster will display a "Service Tire
Pressure System" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor
is ineffective.
If the ignition switch is cycled, the
sequence will repeat, in case the
system fault still persists. If the system
fault no longer exists, the TPMS light
will no longer flash, and the
"Service Tire Pressure System" message
will no longer be displayed, and a
pressure value will be displayed in
place of the dashes.
A system fault can occur due to any of
the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic
devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies
as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing aftermarket window
tinting that contains materials that
may block radio wave signals.
• Accumulation of snow or ice around
the wheels or wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
The instrument cluster will also display
a "Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds when a system fault related to
an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "Service Tire
Pressure System" message is then
followed by a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This
indicates that the pressure values are
still being received from the TPMS
sensors but they may not be located in
the correct vehicle position. The system
still needs to be serviced as long as the
"Service Tire Pressure System" message
is displayed.Driving

Vehicles with Compact Spare Tire
• The compact spare tire does not
have a TPMS sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the pressure
of the compact spare tire.
• If you replace a tire having pressure
below the low-pressure warning
limit, with the compact spare tire, on
the next ignition switch cycle, the
TPMS light
will illuminate
followed by a beeping sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a
flashing pressure value
corresponding to the compact tire
position.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h),
the TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (--)
in place of the pressure value.
• Each subsequent ignition switch
cycle will be followed by a beeping
sound, the TPMS light
will flash
for 75 seconds and then remain lit.
The instrument cluster will then
display a "Service Tire Pressure
System" message for a minimum of
five seconds and subsequently displays dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value.
• Once you repair, replace or reinstall
a tire with the compact spare tire,
the TPMS will update automatically.
The TPMS light
will turn OFF and
the graphic in the instrument cluster
will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (--), as long as no
tire pressure is below the
low-pressure warning limit in any of
the four tires. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
TPMS Deactivation The TPMS can be deactivated if
replacing all four tire rims with wheel
and tire assemblies not using of TPMS
sensors, such as winter wheel and tireDriving

assemblies. After replacing all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensors,
drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will
chime, the TPMS light
will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on and the instrument cluster
will display the “Service Tire Pressure
System” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values. Beginning with the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires equipped with TPMS sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the TPMS light
will flash for 75 seconds and then
turn off. The instrument cluster will
then display the “Service Tire Pressure
System” message.
The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes
(--). On the next ignition switch cycle
the “Service Tire Pressure System”
message will no longer be displayed as
long as no system fault exists.

the radio and radar frequency devices
can be consulted by accessing the
"Services" section on the website
www.maserati.com.Fuel Requirements The engines are designed to meet all
environmental regulations and provide
excellent fuel economy and
performance when using unleaded
premium gasoline with an AKI octane
rating of 91 or above. AKI (Anti Knock
Index) is an average on the Research
Octane Number, RON, and the Motor
Octane Number, MON (RON + MON/2
gives you the AKI).
For vehicle top performance, use
unleaded premium gasoline with no
less than 93 minimum AKI octane
rating.
Poor quality gasoline can cause
problems such as hard starting,
stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before
considering service for the vehicle at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline that
contain detergents, anti-corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasoline that have these
additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and
maintain vehicle performance.Driving
