Msp System - Maserati GranTurismo Coupe Owner's Manual

MSP System

The vehicle is equipped with an MSP
(Maserati Stability Program) yaw
prevention monitoring system
encompassing all of the vehicle's
control systems: ABS, EBD, ASR and
MSR. It has a model within it that
2
predicts the vehicle's behaviour with
extreme accuracy. The system is
designed to detect whether the driver
is about to lose control of the vehicle.
In this case, it can activate the brake
calipers individually and engine
control, in order to create a torque
sufficient to resist the vehicle's yawing
moment.

Activating the MSP system
The MSP system is automatically
enabled each time the engine is
started. During the activation phases,
the initials MSP switch on in green on
the multi-function display. To disable
it, press button A for about 2 seconds.
When the system is disabled, the
initials, on the multi-function display
and the LED on the button light up.
Press button A to switch on the system
again: the warning light on the multi-
function display and the button led go
off.
Fault signals
In the event of a fault, the system is
automatically disabled and cannot be
re-activated. When driving, this
condition is signalled by the LED on the
button switching off and by the
initials lighting up on the multi-
function display. When the engine is
started, any system malfunction is
signalled by the initials lighting
up on the multi-function display.
WARNING In the event of a
malfunction with the MSP disabled,
the vehicle will react as if it were not
equipped with this system. In any case,
have the MSP system checked at the
Maserati Service Network as soon as
possible.
WARNING If you have to tow the car
with 2 wheels raised, ensure that the
ignition key is in the STOP position.
Otherwise, with the MSP switched on,
the respective control unit stores a
malfunction in the memory resulting
in the initials lighting up on the
instrument panel, which requires the
intervention of the Maserati Service
Network for resetting of the system.
WARNING In low grip conditions
(when there is ice, snow, sand etc.) It is
advisable not to use the SPORT mode
function, even with the MSP enabled.
