2019 MASERATI GHIBLI warning light

• ABSA “Strength": it tunes the
steering torque value to have a
stronger or weaker directional
correction/deviation.
Blind Spot Assist in "Visual & Haptic"
Mode
When the system is on and configured
“Visual & Haptic” then the ABSA is
enabled and to the conventional
visual warnings is added the steering
torque and vibration.
When operating in this mode, the
system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate outside rear-view mirror
when it detects a vehicle or an object
in the detection areas monitored by its
sensors. In case of turn indicator
activation on the appropriate side, the
system will react with a torque on the
steering wheel to try to prevent the
lane change and therefore to
avoid/mitigate the collision. The
torque on the steering is applied
when the car is very close to the lane
boundary as a further feedback to
warn the driver of the unsafe
maneuver.
NOTE:
• The steering torque is not supplied if
the system is not able to estimate a
lane and if the turn indicator from
the appropriate side is not inserted. • 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.
WARNING!
• Risk of accident despite steering
torque application of Active Blind
Spot Assist (ABSA).
• A course-correcting steering torque
application cannot always prevent a
collision.
• The driver is always required to
steer, brake or accelerate themself,
especially if ABSA warns or makes a
course correcting steer intervention.
• Always maintain a safe distance at
the sides.
• Steering torque application may be
interrupted at any time by counter
steering by the driver.
RCP - Rear Cross Path
Operation RCP operation is the same as described
in chapter "Blind Spot Assist - BSA". When ABSA is turned off from MTC+
"Controls" page, there will be no
visual or audible alerts from RCP
subsystem.
When ABSA is turned on with any
setting,RCP subsystem shall respond
with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected vehicle or object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio (if on) is also
muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
System Temporarily
Unavailable The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message “Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable” when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside
rear-view mirrors will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone.
System Fault The ABSA system cannot properly
operate either due to a fault of its
components, or because the area onDriving

273

windshield where the forward-facing
camera is located or on the rear
bumper fascia where the radar sensors
are located is dirty. In these cases the
amber warning light and the related
message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
In these cases do not use the system
and have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all

“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com. Highway Assist – HAS
(optional, with ACC only) The Highway Assist (HAS) is a level 2
Autonomy system (in reference to
NHTSA standards) that is designed to
aid the driver in the steering,
acceleration, and braking functions of
the vehicle.
HAS is designed to only function on
highways or limited access freeways.
HAS centers the vehicle by controlling
the EPS system based off of lane line
information from the forward-facing
camera and data from the front radar
sensor.
HAS combines ACC and LKA to
manage the steering and speed of the
vehicle under specific conditions. The
conditions to engage HAS are listed in
the next paragraph. If a lane line cross
is imminent, the steering wheel will vibrate and a graphic will display on
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
• In case the vehicle approaches a
curve that is too tight in relation to
the current speed the system will
disengage, therefore the driver must
be prepared to take over control of
the vehicle immediately at any time.
To avoid this situation it is important
that the vehicle speed is not set
higher than the current speed limit
of the road.
• Highway Assist (HAS) is a hands-on
feature! You must keep your hands
on the steering wheel at all times.
The HAS system will disengage and
ACC will cancel if your hands are
removed from the steering wheels
for a set amount of time.
• HAS is intended for use only on
highways or limited access freeways
with a fully attentive driver. When
using HAS, hold the steering wheel
and be aware of surrounding traffic
and road conditions. Always be
prepared to immediately take over
control of the vehicle from the HAS
system. Failure to follow theseDriving

274

• 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.

off until the tire pressure is equal or
above the recommended cold inflation
pressure. Once the low tire pressure
warning light
illuminates, you must
increase the tire pressure to the
recommended cold inflation pressure
in order for the TPMS light
to turn
off. The system will automatically
update and the TPMS light
will turn
off once the system acquires the
correct tire pressure.
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
setting. WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may occur when
using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped
with a TPMS, as damage to the
sensors may result.
• The system can temporarily
experience radio-electric
interference emitted by devices
using similar frequencies.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem and damage the TPMS internal
sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving
on a
significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and may lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gage, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS light
.
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMSDriving
5
290

will monitor the actual tire pressure
in the tire.
Premium System The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which
display on the instrument cluster;
• warning light
.
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light will illuminate in
the instrument cluster and an acoustic
signal will notify that tire pressure is
low in one or more of the four tires. 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 facilitiesDriving
5
291

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. 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 displaysDriving
5
292

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 tire 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.

fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
• Never have any smoking materials
lit in or near the vehicle when the
fuel filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most
fire-prevention regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light
to turn on (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank
capacity
is indicated in the
“Refillings” table in section
“Features and Specifications”.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle
additional fuel supply until two
clicks. After the two additional clicks,
the amount of fuel allowed by the
system is very low, we recommend
therefore not to persist further.
• Wait approximately 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle in
order to ensure completed supply of residual fuel and restrict the risk of
fouling the fuel filler door area.
• Remove the fuel nozzle.
• Close the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,
do not “top off” the fuel tank after
filling.
Emergency Refueling Funnel
A
funnel is provided (in the trunk in
the tool box container) for emergency
refueling with a gas can. WARNING!
A fire may result if fuel is pumped
into a portable container that is inside
of a vehicle. You could be burned.
Always place gas containers outside
the vehicle while filling.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob RKE
transmitter, use the fuel filler door
emergency release located in the
trunk.
• Open the trunk lid (see “Trunk Lid
Operation” in section “Before
Starting”).
• Lift the access cover on the left side
of the trunk.Driving
