MSP System
The vehicle is equipped with the MSP
(Maserati Stability Program) yaw
prevention monitoring system,
encompassing all of the vehicle's
control systems: ABS, EBD, ASR and
MSR. The system is fitted with a unit
that is designed to predict the vehicle's
behavior accurately. 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 the engine
control, in order to create a torque
sufficient to resist the vehicle's yawing
movement.
Activation
The MSP system is activated
automatically every time the engine is
started, and it can be disengaged by
pressing button A for approx. 2
seconds. Press button A again to
reactivate the system.
The dark yellow
warning light on
the instrument panel flashes during all
the activation phases.
Fault indicators
In the event of a fault, the system is
automatically disabled and cannot be
reactivated. This condition is signalled,
while driving, by the amber warning
light
that comes on both on the
instrument panel and on the multi-
function display. On the latter, the
warning light is accompanied by the
message “MSP failure go to dealer”.
When the engine is started, the system
malfunction is indicated by the
illumination of the warning light
.
WARNING: In the event of a fault with
the MSP disabled, the vehicle will react
as if it were not equipped with this
system: have the system checked by
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING: Make sure that the ignition
key is turned to STOP if you have to
tow the vehicle with 2 wheels raised
off the ground. Otherwise, with the
MSP switched on, the respective
control unit will store a malfunction,
resulting in the illumination of the
warning lights
on the instrument
panel and on the display: this requires
the intervention of your local
Authorized Maserati Dealer to restore
the system.
WARNING: In low- and medium-grip
conditions (e.g., rain, snow, ice, sand,
etc.) it is advisable not to activate
SPORT mode, even with the MSP
enabled.
WARNING: Driving on parabolic curves
will deactivate the system.
