2019 MASERATI GRANTURISMO steering

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) DRL are normally enabled. Under
special conditions, with light switch in
and position, LED headlight
can be turned on to full power (DRL),
low power (position lights) or off.
Status change of these lights is
explained below. Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
In addition, the headlights are
equipped with an ALC system
(Adaptive Light Control).
This system combines the light beam
with the steering angle to assure
better visibility of the road surface
when driving in a curve, steering or in
the event of road deviations.
The advantages offered by improved
lighting system are perceived
especially in case of bad weather, fog
and/or insufficient road indications
providing broader illumination of the
side zones, which are normally left in
the dark, and for highway driving (see
comparison rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye strain and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers).Light

Rear Fog Lights Press button on the light switch to
turn on the rear fog lights.
Fog lights only work when the low
beams are on by operating the light
switch in
(low beam) or "AUTO"
position.
The symbol on the button and the
dedicated indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminate when the
lights are on.
WARNING!
Do not use the rear fog lights in
normal visibility conditions to avoid
dazzling vehicles behind.
Pressing again the
button will
deactivate the rear fog lights. Twilight Sensor This device consists of two sensors: a
global sensor, capable of measuring
the light intensity above and a
directional sensor, which measures the
light intensity in the vehicle’s traveling
direction, enabling it to recognize
tunnels and driveways.
You can adjust the sensing range of
the twilight sensor by means of the
MTC+, by selecting the “Settings”
menu and "Safety & Driving Assistant"
function (see chapter "MTC+ Settings"
in section "Dashboard instruments and
Controls").
In the event of a sensor failure, the
system will turn on the low beams and
the position lights, regardless of the
light outside, and a failure message
will appear on the instrument cluster
display.
The failure indication will be displayed
as long as the light switch is turned to
"AUTO" position.
In this case, we recommend that you
deactivate the automatic system and
turn on the external lights manually if
necessary; contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. Left-hand Multifunction Lever The multifunction lever on the left side
of the steering column controls the
operation of the turn signals,
headlight beam selection and
overtaking lights.
This multifunction lever also controls
the Cruise Control. See chapter "Cruise
Control" in section "Driving" for
further information.
Turn Signals
Move the left-hand multifunction lever
all the way up or down until the stop
trigger.
The left or right arrow indicator on
respectively the speedometer and
tachometer instrument cluster, flashes
to show proper operation of the front
and rear turn signal lights.Understanding the Vehicle

To activate lane change function, tap
the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent. The turn
signals (right or left) will flash three
times then automatically turn off.
This function is useful when
overtaking or changing lanes. NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not
flash, or flashes at a fast rate, check
for a defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator on instrument cluster fails
while moving the lever, then the
indicator bulb is probably defective.
High Beams and Flashing
To switch on the high beams with the
light switch in headlamp
or
“AUTO” position, shift the left-hand
multifunction lever onward.
A related
blue telltale will
illuminate on the tachometer.
By pulling the lever backward (toward
the steering wheel) you switch off the
high beams and switch on the low
beams. You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
left-hand multifunction lever toward
you. This will turn on the high beams
headlights until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(light switch in position “0”) if the key
in the ignition switch is in MAR (ON)
position.Understanding the Vehicle

CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the left-hand
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. We
recommend therefore that you switch
them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.
“Follow me Home” Function
This
function allows you to set a
timing for activation of the position
lights and low beams, so that they may
remain on for a set time after turning
off the vehicle.
This function is activated by pushing
the left-hand multifunction lever on
the steering column, used to flash the
headlights.
The position lights and low beams turn
on for 30 seconds, the message
“Follow me” appears on the
instrument cluster display for 20 seconds, and the light activation time
is displayed.
When this function is active, every
time the left-hand multifunction lever
for flashing the headlights is operated,
the time the lights remain on is
increased by 30 seconds, with a
maximum total time of 210 seconds.
The display will show the time set.
If the left-hand multifunction lever for
flashing the headlights is operated for
more than 2 seconds, the function is
deactivated, and the indicator on the
instrument cluster display goes off.
When the function is active, turning
the key in the ignition switch back to
MAR (ON) position deactivates the
system.
Front Domelights The front domelight includes a central
and two reading lights.
The central light automatically turns
on when one of the doors is opened
and turns off when the door is closed
(timed switching off). The light may be
switched on manually by pressing the
central button.
The reading lights are controlled by
the respective side buttons.
If they are turned on by pressing the
button, both central and reading lights
will stay on for about 15 minutes after turning the engine off, and will then
turn off gradually.
When the exterior lights are switched
on, the two night LEDs fitted on the
side of the lateral buttons will light up
to facilitate use of the transmission
shift lever and the central console
controls.
In the event of a collision causing the
inertia switch activation, the
domelights turn on automatically for
approx. 15 minutes.
If one or more doors are opened, the
front and rear domelights will turn on
for approx. 3 minutes. If the door is
closed before this time, the lights will
dim and subsequently switch off after
about 10 seconds.

right-hand side of the steering column
operates the windshield wipers and
washer when the key in the ignition
switch is turned in MAR (ON) position.
The windshield washer and headlight
washer share the same fluid reservoir,
and a low fluid level is indicated by the
same warning light and by the
message on the instrument cluster.
To refill the fluid, see “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”.
Windshield Wipers
Starting from the not-active position
"OFF", the right-hand multifunction
lever can be moved downward (three stable positions) or upward (one
unstable position).

CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when
driving through an automatic car
wash. The windshield wipers may be damaged if the wiper control is left
in any position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the windshield wiper
blades from returning to the off
position. If the windshield wiper
control is turned off and the blades
cannot return to the off position, the
wiper motor may be damaged.Understanding the Vehicle

Windshield Washers and
Headlight Washers To use the washer, pull toward the
steering wheel the right-hand
multifunction lever (toward the
steering wheel) and hold it as long as
washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for a few wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected
intermittent interval.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off (OFF)
the wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off. WARNING!
• Do not start the windshield washer
during the cold months until the
windshield has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.
• Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden
icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
