2020 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE AUX

Cupholders for Rear Passengers
The rear cupholders are available on
the rear part of the central console,
between the rear seats.
Multimedia Ports and Phone
Housing Compartment
Multimedia ports and the housing for
the phone are located in a
compartment inside the central
console. To access this compartmentlift the cover with armrest function as
previously described.
If the front passenger wants to use the
phone connected to the USB port, you
can route the cable to the right-hand
side of the hooking area of the cover
opening handle shown in picture.
To avoid the risk of being pinched
when closing the cover, the cable
diameter that properly fits in this area
must not exceed 0.8 in (5 mm) andmust pass as close as possible to the
side walls of the containment
compartment, avoiding the hooking
area of the handle.
The AUX auxiliary port features:
• typical port impedance between
AUX-IN and AUX_REF: 13 Kohm;
• max. applicable voltage: 0.75 Vrms at
1 kHz;
• port compatible only with 3.5 mm
jack connectors (not included).
Any player with these characteristics
and analog audio output (headset
output type) can be served by the
MTC+ System. The system can
recognize the connection to a player
outlet autonomously, by enabling
access to the audio functions
connected to this source.
This
USB port can be used for data
exchange and charge of the connected
source (refer to the MTC+ guide for
further details).
Through this USB input is possible to
recharge the connected device for
about an hour from when the key in
the ignition switch is turned inSTOP
(OFF)position (“Active Charging”
feature). When this feature is enabled,
the USB port will be backlit.
In this compartment there is also an SD
memory card input. Once inserted into

the slot, to extract it press lightly on
the card.
Other two USB ports are present for
rear seat passengers, on the rear part
of the central console.
To access the USB port, open the
outside cover. These USB ports allow
charging the connected source.
When you turn the key in the ignition
switch inSTOP (OFF)position, these
USB ports remain active for 10 minutes
to allow the charging of connected
devices.
iPod®Connection
An iPod®can be connected to the
system via USB and AUX ports by
means of a special cable (optional).
The MTC+ will then control the
following functions: play, pause, fast
forward, rewind, next track, previous
track, random or repeat mode,selection and navigation of
playlist/genre/singer/album/Podcast.
CAUTION!
Do not leave your USB device, iPod®
or an external audio source in the
vehicle for extended period of time:
extreme temperatures and humidity
can occur in the vehicle.

Engine Start Failure
CAUTION!
• Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way.
• If the vehicle battery is dead, booster
cables may be used to obtain a start
from a booster battery or the
battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done
improperly. See “Auxiliary Jump
Start Procedure” in section “In an
Emergency” for further information.
Starting by cold engine
Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High-
performance driving should be
avoided until the engine temperature
reaches 149-158°F (65-70°C).
Engine Turn-Off
• Place the shift lever in P (Park) (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section).
• With the engine at idle, turn the key
in the ignition switch toSTOP (OFF)position. A burst on the accelerator
pedal before turning off the engine
has no purpose and increases fuel
consumption.
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P
(Park) position, as it could move.
The key can only be removed from the
ignition switch when the transmission
is in P (Park) position and within 30
seconds after turning the key toSTOP
(OFF)position. If you do not remove
the key within 30 seconds, you will
need to turn it back toMAR (ON)and
then toSTOP (OFF)position to have a
further 30 seconds within which to
remove the key from the ignition
switch.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible to
shift the transmission to P (Park)
position, to remove the key you must
turn it toSTOP (OFF)position, then
remove the cap shown in picture using
a pen or sufficiently pointed tool.
Then press the button just uncovered
and at the same time extract the key
from the ignition switch. Once the key
has been removed, refit the removed
cap.
Driving

emergency starting, only use an
auxiliary battery.
• While driving, if the engine does not
run smoothly, you may continue
driving but reducing engine
performance to a minimum; you
should then contact theAuthorized
Maserati Dealeras soon as possible.
• Never run the engine, even if only
for testing, with one or more spark
plugs disconnected.
• Do not warm up the engine letting it
idle before starting off, except in the
event that the external temperature
is very low and, even then, for no
longer than 30 seconds.
Catalytic Converter Warnings
During normal operation the catalytic
converter produces high temperatures.
Failure to comply with following rules
can create fire hazards.
• Do not park the vehicle on
flammable materials (e.g. grass, dry
leaves, pine needles, etc.).
• Do not install heat guards and do
not remove those already fitted to
the catalytic converter and to the
exhaust manifold.
• Do not spray anything on the
catalytic converter, Oxygen sensor
and exhaust manifold.In addition to the catalytic converter
system, the vehicles are equipped with
a system for controlling fuel vapor
emissions. This system, called ORVR,
has been designed to help reduce
atmospheric pollution by the
evaporation from the fuel system
during the refueling process. Also,
specific to these vehicles is the fuel
filler neck which comes equipped with
a sealed plug that is grounded to
avoid possible sparking during
re-fueling.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
Other Tips
• Do not warm up the engine when
the vehicle is stationary: in these
conditions the engine heats up much
more slowly, thus increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
advisable to move off slowly,
avoiding high engine rpm.
• As soon as traffic conditions and the
route permit it, use a higher gear.
• Avoid depressing the accelerator
repeatedly during stops at traffic
lights or before turning off the
engine.
• Keep your speed as regular as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause fuel wastage and strongly
increase exhaust emissions.
• Turn the engine off if the vehicle
remains stationary for a long time.
• Check the tire pressure regularly: if
the pressure is too low, fuel
consumption increases and the tires
are damaged.
• Do not transport unnecessary heavy
objects in the trunk compartment.
