2019 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE flat tire

NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with all information about
the Maserati Snow Chains, available in
the "Genuine Accessories" range.
Compact Spare Tire The limited-use spare tire, or compact
spare tire, is for temporary emergency
use only.
This tire is identified by a label
indicating the driving speed limitations
to comply with when using the spare
tire.
Inflate the spare tire to the cold
inflation pressure listed on the table
“Tire Inflation Pressure” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
Mounting the spare tire affects vehicle
handling. Replace (or repair) as soon as
possible the original equipment tire
and reinstall it on the vehicle. Do not
install more than one compact spare
tire and wheel on the vehicle at a
time.
WARNING!
With these compact spare tires, do not
drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
Temporary use spares have limited
tread life. Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure according to the vehicle
recommended cold pressure indicated
on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure”
in section “Features and
Specifications” and on the label
applied on the driver's side rear door
pillar.
Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure.
The cold tire inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check “Tires – General Information” in
section “Driving” for information on
how to properly inflate the tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as
the vehicle is driven - this is normal
and there is no adjustment required
when this occurs.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure if the tire pressure falls
below the low-pressure warning limit
for any reason, including low
temperature effects and natural
pressure loss of the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the
driver of low tire pressure as long as
the condition persists and will not turn 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.Driving

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 TPMS 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.Driving
5
301

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

Using the Compact Spare
Wheel NOTE:
The compact spare wheel is supplied in
aluminium or steel: the pictures show
the one in aluminium.
The compact spare wheel is stored in
the trunk and is supplied deflated in
order to limit the amount of space
occupied. An electric compressor is also
provided for inflating. In the event of
a tire puncture, proceed as follows.
• Stop the vehicle in a place that does
not constitute a danger to traffic and
where the wheel can be changed
safely.
• Select the P (Park) mode and then
engage manually the electric parking
brake and move the ignition switch
to OFF position.

installed in order to improve vehicle
stability.
WARNING!
The vehicle must be level and on the
firm ground during the vehicle lifting
operations. If forced to stop the
vehicle on a slope, call the Assistance
service and avoid any operation.
• Before placing the chock, it is
necessary
to open
it like a book as
shown in the picture. • Lift the ground coverage of the
trunk.
• Take the tools for changing the
wheel (indicated in picture) from the
container.
• Unscrew and pull out the locking
wheel knob. • Take the container and the compact
spare wheel out of the trunk.
• Remove from the compressor case
the 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 power plug into one of
the available power outlets fitted in
the trunk or passenger
compartment.
• Set the ignition device on ACC or
RUN position.

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 gauge.
• 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, floatation devices, 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.
• Place the jack near the wheel to be
changed as illustrated.
• Make sure that the head of the jack
is correctly inserted in one of the
slots beneath the rocker panel.
WARNING!
• The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible.
• It is recommended that the wheels
of the vehicle be chocked, and that
no person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked.
• If the vehicle has been stopped on a
slope or an uneven surface, place
chocks or other suitable items in
front of or behind the wheels to
stop the vehicle from moving.
• Never start or run the engine with
the vehicle on a jack.
• No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
WARNING!
• Never position yourself under a
jacked vehicle.
• The lifted vehicle may fall and
damage the vehicle's body if the jack
is not positioned correctly.
• Never use the jack to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the
vehicle.
• Turn the jack lever until the wheel is
raised a few
centimeters off the
ground.
• Completely unscrew the five bolts
and remove the wheel. In case a
wheel security stud bolt is installed, it
can only be removed by using theIn an Emergency

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.
