2019 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE inflation pressure

or more tires falls below the
low-pressure alarm threshold (Soft
Warning). The tire with its low
pressure value will be highlighted in
amber color for 30 seconds.
• The tire with its low pressure value in amber color, the message “Low
inflation pressure tire” and "Do not
drive on" in rolling mode with the
amber warning light always on
activates when the pressure of one
or more tires is below the minimum
pressure alarm threshold (Hard
Warning). The TPMS screen page is displayed for
30 seconds and then the screen page
that was previously displayed
reappears. If the malfunction persists,
the TPMS screen page shown in the
picture will be automatically displayed
for 30 seconds the next time the
engine is started.
The driver can call up the TPMS screen
page at any time to display which tires
have low pressure.
Occasionally, the system may not
detect which wheel signals a
malfunction. If this is the case, then
only the message “Check tire
pressure” will be displayed on the TFT
display.
Punctured Tire
When the instrument cluster receives a
signal from the tire pressure ECU
indicating that the pressure level of
one or more tires is below the alarm threshold or there is a sudden pressure
loss (punctured tire). The
amber
warning light will permanently
illuminate on the instrument cluster
and screen pages shown in the picture
will alternate on the display for 30
seconds: then the screen page that
was previously displayed reappears on
the TFT display.
If the malfunction persists, the display
will show these screen pages for 30
seconds every time the key in the
ignition switch is subsequently turned
back to MAR (ON) position.
These screen pages will be displayed
until the situation is corrected and the
system is calibrated again as required
by the system.
System Not Calibrated
The system must be calibrated:
• after replacing one or more tires;
Driving

• after inverting the wheels;
• if you are not sure whether at leastone of the operations above was
performed.
If you simply corrected the tire
inflation pressure, you do not need to
recalibrate the system.
In the event that the system has not
been calibrated or calibration has been
performed incorrectly and following
replacement or reversal of one or
more tires, the
amber warning light
will flash for 85 seconds on instrument
cluster, and the TFT display will show
screen page with dashes “--,--” in the
place of the pressure levels of each
tire.
When the TPMS display cycle ends (30
seconds), the car symbol with message
will disappear and reappears the
screen page that was previously
displayed will reappear: the
amber warning light remains on until the
system has been calibrated.
To calibrate the system, select the
screen page “TPMS calibration” by
pressing the “MODE” button. A
message will tell you to press and hold
button “+” to activate the calibration
procedure.
NOTE:
The TPMS calibration operation is
possible even with the engine running
but the vehicle must be stationary
(0 mph-km/h).
The system may take up to 10 minutes,
by driving at speed lying between
6 mph (10 km/h) and 80 mph
(130 km/h), to complete the process.
During this time the
amber symbol
and the message “Calibration
activated” will be displayed for 10
seconds.

• Remove from the compressor casethe inflation hose and the cable with
a plug for the power outlet.
• Unscrew the valve cap of the compact spare wheel and screw the
fitting of the inflation hose onto the
valve.
• Insert the plug in one of the available power outlets fitted in the
trunk or passenger compartment.
• Turn the key in the ignition switch in MAR (ON) position.
• Turn the compressor on by pressing the switch.
• Stop the compressor pressing switch again, when the pressure indicated
by the gage reaches the
recommended level (see “Tire
Inflation Pressure” in section
“Features and Specifications”) and
screw the cap on the compact spare
wheel valve.
CAUTION!
• In order to obtain a more accurate reading, the compressor should be
switched off when checking the tire
pressure of the compact spare wheel
on the pressure gage.
• Do not run the compressor for more than 20 minutes: there is a risk it
could overheat. Also, prolonged
power absorption may discharge the
battery, subsequently preventing the
engine from starting.
• The compressor has been designed exclusively to inflate compact spare
wheels; do not use it to inflate air
mattresses, dinghies etc.
• Fit the adapter on the wrench. Extend
the wrench as shown, then
loosen by approximately one turn, the five bolts on the wheel to be
changed.
• Open the jack partially, releasing and turning the control lever clockwise.
• Place the jack near the wheel to be changed in one of the indicated
positions.
• Make sure that the head of the jack is correctly inserted in one of the
slots beneath the sole bar.

• After refitting the standard wheel,
check the tire pressure.
WARNING!
• The spare wheel is narrower than
standard wheels and must only be
used to travel the distance required
to reach a service station, where the
punctured tire can be repaired or
replaced.
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare wheel; when this
limit is exceeded, the stability, road
holding and braking of the vehicle
will be compromised. Avoid
accelerating to full speed, heavy
braking and fast cornering.
• The compact spare wheel must be
inflated to the recommended tire
pressure (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
• For safety reasons, it is absolutely
forbidden to drive with more than
one compact spare wheel fitted on
the vehicle. •
Snow chains cannot be fitted on the
compact spare wheel.
• The spare wheel can travel a
maximum of 1,800 mi (3.000 km).
NOTE:
The
used wheel may soil the mats if it
is housed in the car: insert the used
wheel in the protective bag housed in
the side pocket of the covering bag.
To Refit the Standard Wheel with
Repaired or Replaced Tire
• Following the procedure and the caution described above, raise the
vehicle and remove the compact
spare wheel reusing the supplied
wrench with adapter, suitably
extended.
• Fit the standard wheel with repaired or replaced tire.
• Tighten the original bolts on the wheel.
• Lower the vehicle and remove the jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately tightening diametrically opposite.
WARNING!
• Observe the tightening torque for
the bolts securing the wheels (72 ±
7 lbf·ft / 98 ± 10 Nm). This is
equivalent to a load of
approximately 44 lb (20 kg) being
placed on the handle of the wrench
supplied when extended for use.
• After refitting the standard wheel,
check the tire pressure.
Once finished:
•
completely deflate the compact
spare wheel by pressing on the valve
with the overhang of the valve cap;
• wrap the power cable and the inflation hose inside the compressor
case;
• place the compressor, the jack, the wrench and the adapter in the

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”).
