Maserati GranTurismo 2024 Tire Pressure Monitoring System User Manual

Introduction

The Maserati GranTurismo 2024 has a sophisticated safety system called the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that is intended to improve your driving experience and guarantee peak performance. This clever device continuously checks the tire pressure in your car and sends you real-time alerts if it detects any variations from the recommended pressure levels.

The TPMS in the Maserati GranTurismo 2024 provides comfort and assurance by minimizing the possibility of tire-related accidents and extending the useful life of your tires. It gives you the ability to maintain ideal tire pressure, ensuring a comfortable and secure driving experience on a variety of roads. You can experience the thrilling speed of the GranTurismo knowing that your tires are in top shape thanks to the TPMS.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressure according to the vehicle’s recommended cold pressure indicated on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure” in the section “Technical Specifications” and on the label applied on the rear driver door’s ledge (only for vehicles on the Australian market).
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 Information” in this section 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 to 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 24 km/h (15 mph) in order for the TPMS to acquire and process the updated setting.
For example: If your vehicle (stationary for more than three hours) may have a recommended cold inflation pressure of 2.1 bar. If the ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F) and the measured tire pressure is 1.8 bar, a temperature drop to 7°C (12°F) will decrease the tire pressure to approximately 1.6 bar. This tire pressure is sufficiently low to turn ON the TPMS Light . Driving the vehicle may cause the tire pressure
to rise to approximately 1.8 bar, but the TPMS light will still lit. In this situation, the TPMS light will turn OFF only after the tires are inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold inflation pressure value.

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

1. The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings 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.
2. The system can temporarily experience radio-electric interference emitted by devices using similar frequencies.
3. 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 damaging the TPMS internal sensor.

NOTE

1. 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.
2. 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 gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS light .
3. 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:

1. receiver module;
2. four TPMS sensors;
3. various TPMS messages, which display on the instrument cluster;
4. 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.
The instrument cluster will also display a widget in the left area reporting the pressure values of each tire with flashing low pressure value. It is possible to display the current tire pressure also on the MIA screen, by accessing the “Tire Pressure” menu (see “Functions of My Car Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”)

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 at a speed between 24 km/h (15 mph) and 130 km/h (80 mph) in order for the TPMS to acquire and process the updated information. In case of replacement of wheel rims and/or the relative valve with TPMS sensor, or if the wheel arrangement is changed when reusing the vehicle it may be necessary to wait 20 minutes for the TPMS to acquire and process the new components and/or the new configuration.

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 device 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 display, and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.

A system fault can occur due to any of the following:

1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio wave signals.
3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire socks on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not endowed 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.

Vehicles with Spare Tire
The spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressure of the spare tire. If you replace a pneumatic having pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, with the spare tire, on the next ignition device cycle, the TPMS light  will illuminate followed by a beeping sound. In addition, the graphic in the instrument cluster will still display a flashing pressure value corresponding to the tire position. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h (15 mph), the TPMS light  will flash for 75 seconds and then remain lit. The instrument cluster will then display a “Service
Tire Pressure System” message for a minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (–) in place of the pressure value.

Each subsequent ignition device cycle will be followed by a beeping sound, the TPMS light  will flash for 75 seconds and then remain lit. The instrument cluster will then display a “Service Tire Pressure System” message for a minimum of five seconds and subsequently displays dashes (–) in place of the pressure value.
Once you repair, replace or reinstall a tire with the spare tire, the TPMS will update automatically. The TPMS light  will turn OFF and the graphic in the instrument cluster will display a new pressure value instead of dashes (–), as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h (15 mph) in order for the TPMS to acquire and process the updated information.

TPMS Deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four tire rims with wheel and tire assemblies not using of TPMS sensors, such as winter wheel and tire assemblies. After replacing all four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires not endowed with Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors, drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above 24 km/h (15 mph). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on and the instrument cluster will display the “Service Tire Pressure System” message and then display dashes (—) in place of the pressure values. Beginning with the next ignition device cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or display the “Service Tire Pressure System” message in the instrument cluster but dashes (—) will remain in place of the pressure values. To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires endowed with TPMS sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h (15 mph). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS light will flash for 75 seconds and then turn off. The instrument cluster will then display the “Service Tire Pressure System” message.
The instrument cluster will also display pressure values in place of the dashes (—). On the next ignition device cycle, the “Service Tire Pressure System” message will no longer be displayed as long as no system fault exists.
