WARNING!
•
The ABS contains sophisticated
electronic equipment that may be
susceptible to interference caused by
improperly-installed or high-output
radio transmitting equipment. This
interference can cause possible
loss of anti-lock braking capability.
Installation of such equipment
should be performed by qualified
Maserati personnel.
•
Pumping the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may
lead to a collision. Pumping brakes
makes the stopping distance longer.
Just press firmly on your brake pedal
when you need to slow down or
stop
•
The ABS installed to this vehicle does
not control trailer braking system.
Pay utmost attention when driving
on slippery ground since the trailer
traction might get poorer and driver
might lose control of the vehicle.
•
Do not modify the vehicle braking
system to control the trailer brakes.
The hydraulic system controlling
vehicle braking must remain
independent from trailer braking
system.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The current device is an integral
part of the ESC system. It operates
automatically by reducing the power
transmitted by the engine in case of
slipping, loss of grip on wet floor
(aquaplaning), acceleration on slippery
snow-covered or frozen surfaces, etc.
Activating under slip conditions
different control systems:
• if slippage affects both drive wheels,
it reduces the power transmitted by
the engine;
• if slippage only affects one drive
wheel, it brakes the slipping wheel
automatically.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
This system completes the ABS system
by optimising the vehicle braking
capacity during emergency brake
manoeuvres. The system detects an
emergency braking situation by
sensing the rate and amount of brake
application and then applies optimum
pressure to the brakes in order to help
reduce braking distances.
The quick brake coupling is optimal
for BAS performances. In order to fully
exploit the system, apply continuous
brake pedal pressure during the entire
vehicle stop sequence. Do not reduce
brake pedal pressure earlier than
required. Once the brake pedal is
released, the BAS is deactivated.
Brake Throttle Override (BTO)
To complete the range of systems
that assist braking, the vehicle is
equipped with BTO, which is designed
to stop the vehicle even when it
is being accelerated. If the brake
pedal is depressed together with
the accelerator, the system does not
consider as “conflict” the sequence
“brake-first-then-accelerator” of pedal
application and it will not engage the
BTO. When the system recognizes that
the accelerator pedal is stuck pressed
and the sequence “accelerator-first
then- brake-pressed” (this sequence is
recognized as a “conflict”), the engine
power will be automatically reduced
and, if the driver continues to depress
the accelerator, the system can make
the vehicle to come to a complete
stop.
Additionally, if the brake pedal is
released when the accelerator is still
stuck pressed, the corresponding
engine torque increase gradually to a
safe value.
The system exits from this strategy
when the accelerator pedal is
completely unstuck.
