FLUID MOVEMENT, TOTAL CONTROL
With the Maserati GranTurismo, visibility is second to none. The Adaptive Light Control increases the already high level of efficiency of the bi-xenon headlights, thanks to a special rotating
mechanism. This function lights up the road and the verges, increasing night-time cornering safety. The electronic unit controlling the full and dipped beams instantly receives information
on the steering angle, yaw, and speed, and adjusts electrical devices inside the headlights to turn the beams in the appropriate direction. The rear lights feature 96 LEDs, which make the car clearly
visible at night. For Maserati, style also has function.
With parking sensors incorporated in the rear bumper, and front sensors too (available on request as an optional extra), parking is made extremely simple: thanks to this system the impressive
dimensions of the Maserati GranTurismo are easily manageable, even in the tightest of parking spaces.
When cruising at a constant speed you can activate the Cruise Control system, which is perfect for automatically maintaining a pre-set speed without having to keep your foot on the accelerator.
With the Cruise Control activated, the gearchanges follow precise and pre-established strategies, and take place according to the gradient of the road.
They are also calibrated to ensure the maximum comfort for those onboard.
As far as security is concerned, the Maserati GranTurismo is protected by an immobiliser with a transponder in the ignition key, and an alarm system consisting of:
• An anti-lifting sensor, and volumetric ultrasound sensors
• Perimeter protection
• A siren under the bonnet
• A 3-button remote control with door lock/unlock and boot-open functions.
Other onboard equipment includes:
• Electrically operated and electrochromic internal and door mirrors (optional), which darken progressively as the intensity of the light increases to prevent dazzling
• HomeLink: this is a remote control device for opening garage doors that is integrated into the driver's side sun visor*. For people with more than one property, up to three automatic garage door
systems can be programmed in.
* Only available in certain markets.
