Hill Holder Strategy - Maserati GranTurismo Coupe Owner's Manual

WARNING: Engagement of the reverse
gear is accompanied by a safety sound
signal, which sounds intermittently for
the entire time in which it is engaged.
st
When shifting from reverse to 1
if the system automatically engages
nd
the 2 gear, it indicates that a
problem has occurred with the 1st
gear. Therefore, this is not a failure, as
it falls into the logic of the system
operation. For the same reason, the
system automatically engages neutral
(N) in case of interference when
st
shifting from 1 gear to reverse.
During prolonged parking periods
with the engine running, it is advisable
to keep the gearshift in neutral (N).
WARNING: On certain occur on
downhill routes, if you leave the car in
neutral (N), when you request a higher
gear UP, the gear engaged will depend
on the current speed of the car.
For your safety reasons, the system
activates the sound signal and
automatically sets the neutral gear (N)
when the car is stopped, the engine is
on and the gear is engaged:
– if the brake pedal or the accelerator
is not used for over 1 minute
– if the brake pedal is pressed for
more than 10 minutes
– if the door is opened without
pressing the brake pedal or the
accelerator
– if the engine lid is opened.
gear,
WARNING: The warning buzzer is
activated also if the clutch overheats
during the starting "pickup"
maneuver.
In this case, the departure procedure
must be "forced", avoiding hesitation
or keeping the car stopped and
applying on the brake pedal after
having released the accelerator.

Hill Holder strategy

The Hill Holder system helps the driver
during start-offs on uphill stretches. It
activates only after a stop when the
brake pedal is released, keeping the
vehicle stopped for a maximum time of
1.2 seconds, thereby allowing the
driver to have enough time for moving
from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING: when the system is active,
the driver may perceive a stiffening of
the brake pedal upon pressing it. This
must not be considered as a
malfunction but as a normal
consequence of the system operation.
Important
– With the car stationary and a gear
engaged, keep the brake pedal
pressed until departure.
– Do not "modulate" the accelerator
pedal during departure stages.
– Engage the reverse gear only when
the car is at a full stop and with the
brake pedal pressed.
– In the case of uphill stops, do not use
the "departure maneuver" to keep
the car still - use the brake and the
accelerator pedal only when you
wish to depart.
– Deactivation of the MSP device
signifies losing control of the
traction wheel slip; in SPORT mode
traction wheel slip can be controlled.
