2019 MASERATI GRANTURISMO Order

Immobilizer System The Maserati CODE System In order to increase protection against
theft, the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
(Maserati CODE), which is
automatically activated when the key
is removed from the ignition switch.
Each starter key contains an electronic
device which transmits a code signal to
the Maserati CODE control unit, and
engine ignition is enabled only if the
key code is recognized by the system.
Key Codes A CODE card is supplied with the keys.
This card indicates the following:
• the “ELECTRONIC CODE” to be used
for emergency starting (see
"Emergency Starting with Maserati
Code" in section "In an Emergency");
• the “MECHANICAL CODE” to be
provided to an Authorized Maserati
Dealer if you request duplicates of
the keys.
NOTE:
• The code numbers shown on the
CODE card should be kept in a safe
place. • You are advised to always keep the
CODE card number with you, as it is
absolutely necessary in the event of
“Emergency Starting”.
• In the event of a vehicle ownership
transfer, it is essential that the new
owner is provided with all the keys
and with the CODE card.
• It is advisable to write down and
keep the codes listed on the plates
delivered with the keys and the
remote control in a safe place (not in
the vehicle) in order to request
duplicates if needed.
CODE System Operation Each time the key in the ignition
switch is removed in the STOP (OFF)
position, protection system activates
the engine immobilizer.
When the engine is started and the
key is turned to MAR (ON) position: • If the code is recognized, the CODE
warning light on the instrument
cluster turns off within a second,
while the MIL
warning light,
once the ECU diagnosis has been
completed, goes off after about four
seconds. In these conditions, the
protection system recognizes the key
code and deactivates the engine
immobilizer. When the key in the
ignition switch is turned to AVV
position, the engine starts.
• If the CODE
warning light
remains on and the MIL
warning
light goes off after four seconds (ECU
diagnostics) and illuminates again
immediately afterward, the code has
not been recognized and the
message “Electronic key not
recognized” is displayed. If this
occurs, turn the key in the ignition
switch to STOP (OFF) and then back
to MAR (ON) position. If the
immobilizer stays on, try with the
other keys. If you still cannot start
the engine, try the emergency start
procedure (see "Emergency Starting
with Maserati Code" in section "In
an Emergency") and contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .

• If the CODE warning light comes
on, it means that the system is
running a self-diagnostic cycle. At
the first stop you can test the system:
turn the key in the ignition switch in
STOP (OFF) position to stop the
engine and then back to MAR (ON)
position: the CODE
warning light
will illuminate and should turn off in
one second. If the warning light
stays on, repeat the procedure
described previously leaving the key
at STOP (OFF) position for more than
30 seconds. If the problem persists,
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
• If the CODE
warning light flashes,
it means that the vehicle is not
protected by the immobilizer device.
Immediately contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have all the keys
stored in the memory.
CAUTION!
• Strong impacts can damage the
electronic components in the key.
• Each key supplied has its own
specific code, which must be stored
in the memory of the system control
unit. Duplicating the Keys When ordering additional keys,
remember that the storage procedure
(up to maximum of 7 keys) must be
performed for all the keys, including
those already in your possession.
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer directly, bringing with you all
the keys in your possession, the
Maserati CODE card, the electronic
alarm system CODE CARD, a personal
ID and the identification and
registration documents proving
ownership of the vehicle. The codes of
any keys that are not available when
the new storage procedure is
performed will be deleted from the
memory to prevent any lost or stolen
keys from being used to start the
vehicle. When ordering additional
keys, remember that the storage
procedure (up to maximum of 7 keys)
must be performed for all the keys,
including those already in your
possession. Contact the Authorized

In the event of a side impact, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
processes the signals coming from side
sensors and activates air bag
deployment when necessary.
The air bag deploys almost
instantaneously, placing itself between
the occupants and the side of the
vehicle. The air bag deflates
immediately afterward.
In the case of low-severity side
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts provides
adequate protection), the air bags do
not deploy.
The side air bags are not a substitute
of the seat belts but rather act in
combination with them. As a
consequence, the seat belts must
always be worn as provided for by
applicable legislation in Europe and in
most non-European countries.
WARNING!
• If the
warning light comes on
while driving (fault signal), stop the
vehicle and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
• In the event of a collision with
consequent air bag deployment, contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for replacement of the entire
safety system, Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), seat belts,
pretensioners, and to have the
vehicle electrical system checked.
• Any and all inspections, repairs and
replacements regarding the air bag
must be performed by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
NOTE:
• T
o scrap the vehicle, please contact
an Authorized Maserati Dealer in
order to have the air bag system
deactivated.
• If the vehicle is sold, the new owners
must read the above described
instructions for use and warnings on
this “Owner’s Manual” that is an
integral part of the car.
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of the
front air bags and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
the central electronic ORC deploys the
front air bags, the side air bags and seat belt pretensioners, as required,
depending on the severity and type of
impact.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the key in the ignition
switch is in the MAR (ON) position. If
the key is in the STOP (OFF) position,
in the ACC position, or not active, the
air bag system is not activated and the
air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery has low
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment. When starting
the vehicle, ORC turns on the
air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the
air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the
air bag
warning light and the “Airbag failure
go to dealer” message either
momentarily or continuously. The
diagnostics also record the nature of
the malfunction. A beep will sound if
the
air bag warning light
illuminates again after initial startup.Before Starting

• The air bags are not a substitute of
the seat belts but provide
supplementary protection.
Moreover, in the event of head-on
collisions at low speed, side impacts,
rear collisions or rollovers, the
passengers are protected only by
the seat belts, which therefore must
always be fastened.
• The air bags are not a substitute of

• Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurized steam (by hand or in the
automatic seat wash stations).
• Do not hang rigid objects on the
cloth hooks and on the handholds.
• Do not fit sunshades of any kind on
the windows or door panels.

WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint.
It could come loose in a collision. The
child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat. A
rearward-facing child restraint in the
front seat may be struck by a
deploying passenger air bag, which
may cause severe or fatal injury to
the infant.
Here are Some Tips on Getting
the Most Out of Your Child
Restraint
• Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. Maserati also
recommends that you make sure that
you can install the child restraint in
the vehicle where you will use it
before you buy it.
• The restraint system must be
appropriate for your child’s weight
and height.
• Check the label on the restraint
system for weight and height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the restraint system.
• If installed improperly, it may not
work when needed.
• Fit the child into the seat according
to the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions.
WARNING!
When your child restraint system is
not in use, secure it in the vehicle with
the seat belt or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it
could strike the occupants or
seatbacks and cause serious personal
injury. Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR All the passenger seat belts are
equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) to secure child
protection through a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion
of the seat belt tight around the child
restraint seat avoiding to use a locking
clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise if
the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt to
retract subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see “Using Seat
Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) Mode” in “Occupants Restraint
Systems” in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of the
retractor leading it through the belt
path of the protection device. Slide the
latch into the buckle until it clicks,
then remove the entire safety belt
from the retractor in order to
rewound. While rewinding a click will
indicate the safety belt is now in
Automatic Locking mode.

hammers) and rotate the key to the
MAR (ON) position. So, if the
operating failure cause has been
eliminated, system full operation will
be recovered. If however, the failure
beep continues, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
Cleaning the Park Assist
Sensors When cleaning the sensors, take
special care not to scratch or damage
them; therefore, do not use dry, rough
or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with
clean water, possibly adding car
shampoo.
Should you need to repaint the
bumper or in case of paint touch-ups
in the sensor area, please contact
exclusively the Authorized Maserati
Dealer . Incorrect paint application
could affect the parking sensors
operation.
Park Assist System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the
performance of Park Assist. • Objects such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the
rear bumper while driving the
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing
the service Park Assist message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and
it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might only be
temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using Park Assist in order to be
able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. When backing
up, it is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using Park Assist. WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the Park Assist
system. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.Before Starting
