Maserati Range Technical Updates MY09
0. General information
2009 Range:
The new MY09 version of the Quattroporte was the outcome of a thorough renewal
project, in terms of both styling and engineering. Five years after the model’s launch
and with more than 15,000 cars sold, Maserati decided to offer reinterpretations of the
car, to aim for ambitious new goals.
Pininfarina further refined the Quattroporte’s elegant design with more modern lines
and clearer references to the distinctive features of the GranTurismo family. Under the
bonnet, as well as the 4.2L V8 engine the more powerful 4.7L version now also became
available, still in combination with the automatic 6 speed gearbox.
The GranTurismo S (M145GL) joined the Maserati range exactly one year after the
launch of the GranTurismo, with Maserati revealing the first heir to the famed GT to the
public. Created for those in search of a more dynamic version of the GranTurismo
already on the market, the GranTurismo S, fitted with a 4.7L V8 engine and robotized
rear-mounted gearbox, was more aggressive while still keeping faith with the GT
tradition by delivering high levels of comfort to four occupants during long journeys.
The GranTurismo S Automatic (M145HL) was the logical completion of the Maserati
GranTurismo range. The model presented in 2009 combines the performance of the
4.7L engine, the most powerful in the range, with the unique comfort of ride provided by
the automatic gearbox.
The 2009 range comprises the models listed below:

GranTurismo (M145) Range
• GranTurismo (M145ML)
• GranTurismo S (M145GL) Robotized
• GranTurismo S (M145HL) Automatic
Quattroporte (M139) Range

• Quattroporte (M139HQ)
• Quattroporte S (M139IQ)
• Quattroporte SPORT GTS (M139MQ)
Maserati Academy 4
Quattroporte (M139)
The Quattroporte, the car that reinvented the luxury sports saloon segment, is a real
Maserati masterpiece. Five years after the launch, the new MY09 version was the
outcome of a thorough renewal project, in terms of both styling and engineering.
Pininfarina further refined the Quattroporte’s elegant design with more modern lines and
clearer references to the distinctive features of the GranTurismo family.
Under the bonnet, as well as the 4.2L V8 engine the more powerful 4.7L version now
also became available, still in combination with the automatic 6 speed gearbox.
The new Quattroporte range included three variants:
• Quattroporte: the quintessential Maserati luxury saloon. The car with wet sump
4.2L engine, provides a smooth ride and driving comfort.
• Quattroporte S: the range’s flagship. This car features the 4.7L engine with
improvements to the chassis dynamics to suit this higher-powered unit. With the
Quattroporte S luxury reaches new heights.
• The Quattroporte Sport GT S: launched in January 2009, this was the most
successful synthesis of luxury saloon and high-performance sports car Maserati
had ever produced. The modifications to the chassis, gearbox and exhaust system
maximised handling and performance, for even greater enjoyment at the wheel.
Maserati Academy 5
Exterior
The stylistic changes included: updated front and grille, new front and rear light
assemblies, new rear bumper, new wheel rim design, new rearview mirrors and
completely restyled underdoor moulding covers.
The front and rear light assembles are both of LED type, further underlining the
Quattroporte's dynamic character.
External lights
The Quattroporte MY09 is fitted with new lighting systems at both front and rear. The
front light assemblies now feature beam regulation, a solution similar to that used on
the GranTurismo (self-adapting headlamps).
• Bi-xenon type • 17 LED direction indicators

• Flash to pass headlamp • 12 LED stop function
• Parking light with DRL function • 2 LED parking light
• 10 LED direction indicators • 2 LED rear fog lights
• Integral sidelights • 1 LED integral sidelight
• Headlamp washing system • Reversing light
• Automatic attitude monitoring and
system with automatic beam
adjustment on bends
Maserati Academy 6
Interior
In its interiors, as well as the availability of new combinations for personalising the
finishes, the Quattroporte MY09 features a state-of-the-art InfoTainment system with a
vast range of multimedia functions.
The interior of the new Maserati Quattroporte delivers an even higher level of comfort
thanks to significant changes to the driving seat ergonomics, involving the new seat
shape, the use of the multifunction steering wheel with racing grip, the controls closer
together on the central console, the new graphics of the instrument panel, and a small
storage compartment in the central tunnel.
Quality of life in the rear seats is high, with excellent noise insulation and no vibrations.
The new Quattroporte offers great flexibility in rear seat setup thanks to a large number
of optionals, such as independent electric adjustment: the reach adjustment (10 cm)
and separate tilt setting allow each occupant to find the position they like best, and
travel in complete comfort. Another rear seat optional is heating, which also includes
ventilation and massage.
The new Maserati Quattroporte’s range of navigation and entertainment systems were
completely updated, comprising the New Maserati Multimedia System and the Bose®
Multi Media System.
Developed by Marelli, the Multimedia System includes, as standard: on-board
computer, satellite navigation system (where the digital cartography is available), CD-
ROM and mp3 player, Hard Disk driver, mp3 music file Jukebox, 30 GB hard disk,
voice controls, Bluetooth®, and USB/AUX-in port with USB reader function.
Maserati Academy 7
GranTurismo S (M145LL)
The sports version of the marque’s coupe, the Maserati GranTurismo S (MI45GL) was
intended for those looking for a car with a unique identity. The 4.7 litre V8 engine can
generate a power of 323 kW (440 HP). The Transaxle system is used for engine and
gearbox, the leading-edge of Maserati technology and a feature only used on the
highest-performing cars. The suspensions maximise the Transaxle system’s potential
thanks to the new fixed-setting dampers, with 10% more damping force, with revised
compression and extension ratio and more rigid rear torsion bar.
The braking system, developed in association with Brembo, guarantees constant,
impeccable performance thanks to the Dual Cast technology.
Exterior
The sportscar character of the GranTurismo S is underlined by Pininfarina’s modern,
aggressive line, given added prestige by unmistakable details such as the red trims on
the Maserati Trident and the Saetta logo, matching the standard colour of the brake
calipers, as used on Maserati racing cars.
Maserati Academy 8
The GranTurismo S’s sportier nature is reflected to perfection in the new lines and new
alloy wheels, dark headlamps, new aerodynamic underdoor moulding covers and a
boot spoiler.
Interior
The seats have a central panel upholstered in Alcantara with a new design, with
horizontal piping; as well as the combination of Frau® Leather and Alcantara, the seat
central panels are also available in Pekary leather.
Maserati Academy 9
GranTurismo S Automatic (M145HL)
The GranTurismo S Automatic offers two fundamental innovations: the 4.7 litre 440 HP
engine, and the automatic 6-speed transmission.
The increased engine torque, especially at medium/low rpm, combined with the
automatic six-speed transmission, exalts the car’s genuine GT nature. As on the
GranTurismo S, the Brembo braking system with front calipers with six pistons delivers
even higher performance thanks to the dual-cast technology, where cast iron and
aluminium are used together to offer constant performance also under extreme thermal
stress.
Passenger comfort is further enhanced by the provision as standard of the Skyhook
system, with automatic, continual damper adjustment.
Exterior
The distinctive features of the GranTurismo S Automatic are the new, larger miniskirts
and the new 20” wheels with spokes with their obvious similarity to the Trident logo.
Maserati Academy 10
Interior
The front seats with sporty trim offer roomy comfort and fully electrical adjustment. The
leather upholstery is handmade by Poltrona Frau® .
Maserati Academy 11
1. Engine
Bosch Motronic ME9 Engine Management System (NCM)
The Quattroporte models equipped with 4.7L engine have the new-generation Bosch
Motronic ME 9.1.1 engine management system.
The basic functional principles are unchanged from the previous Motronic ME7 version
of the system. The addition of a number of components to supervise engine
management has not involved any changes to their operating principles, which are still
the same. The most obvious difference concerns the engine ECU.
The Motronic ME9 ECU is located in

the engine compartment, by the left
wheel arch.
The casing protects the unit from
heat and any brake fluid leaks.
Main changes compared to the ME7 system:

• the new cast aluminium ECU casing is larger and has new connectors (94 pin car
side connector + 60 pin engine side connector) and a new pinout;
• new module position inside the engine compartment to reduce wiring lengths;
• higher ECU processing capacity thanks to the use of a new, more powerful
processor (GreenOak MPC564 64-bit, 56Mhz CPU);
• elimination of the diagnostics K-line; diagnostic and programming data exchange is
now by means of the C-CAN line, in compliance with the new ISO 15765-4
standard;
• immobilizer function controlled by the engine ECU and body computer solely by
means of the C-CAN line; the backup W-line has been eliminated;
• new hydraulic VVT actuator with range increased to 60 degrees, for smoother
engine operation when idling and better torque transmission at low rpm on the new
Quattroporte with 4.7L engine; the operating principle is unchanged compared to
the existing actuators with range of 50 degrees.
Maserati Academy 12
60º valve timing control devices:
The F136YG and F136YH engines of the Quattroporte S and Quattroporte Sport GT S
are equipped with new valve timing control devices allowing total timing variation of 30º
(60º engine actuation).
These new hydraulic VVT actuators with

operating range increased to 60 degrees
provide smoother idling and higher torque
at low rpm. The operating principle is the
same as for the 50 degree actuators used
previously.
Greater intake/exhaust system aperture for Quattroporte Sport GT S

The higher rated power of the Quattroporte Sport GT S (440 HP compared to the
430 HP of the Quattroporte S) is achieved thanks to a modification to the intake and
exhaust system, as well as specific engine mapping.
The fact that there is no filter on the

debimeter allows the air flow to circulate
through the engine more freely. This
requires a specific engine management
system setup (similar to that of the
GranTurismo S).
Maserati Academy 13
Like the GranTurismo S, the Quattroporte Sport GT S is fitted with a racing exhaust
system with bypass valves for the rear silencers. These valves are opened and closed
by selecting Sport or Normal mode.
"Normal" Mode - valves closed

In “Normal” mode, the special exhaust valves are closed, forcing the exhaust gases to
take a longer route before being expelled; this routing reduces the energy level and
thus tones down the sound of the engine.
However, “Normal” mode, designed to provide the greatest on-board comfort, limits the
engine's performance.
"Sport" Mode - valves open

In “Sport” mode the valves are open, allowing the exhaust gases to follow a shorter,
more direct route; this enables them to leave the system earlier and lets the engine
express all its power (440 HP).
Selecting “Sport” mode allows the car to perform to full potential.

3. Transmission
ZF 6HP26 Automatic Transmission

The new values and the greater power derived from the torque generated by the 4.7L
engine are supported by a transmission control software specially developed to
optimise acceleration and the gear shift sensation provided by the automatic
transmission.
The driving experience features:
• Excellent acceleration and ideal peak
torque distribution
• New gear shift sensation between 4th
and 5th speeds, peak power available
up to the highest engine speeds
(7,600 rpm).
"MANUAL" mode: gear keeper

• In “MANUAL” mode the driver controls gear shifts directly, and changes are permitted
up to the maximum rpm permitted by the rev limiter.
• The electronic gear shift indicator on the car’s speedometer, inherited from the
GranTurismo S, indicates the best time to change gear; the gear shift paddles (Active
Shifting supplied as standard) behind the steering wheel, with ergonomic “Trofeo”
design (also borrowed from the GranTurismo S) always ensure optimal gear changes,
especially on routes full of bends.
"AUTO SPORT" mode: "Fast Start" strategy for top performance

• To optimise starts from a standstill, the automatic transmission incorporates an
innovative “Fast Start" function, which allows the driver to perform controlled starts with
no limits on its use (refer to the car’s Manual for further information; this function is not
suitable for use on roads, since it requires the MSP function to be deactivated). This
function enables the car to surge from 0 to 100 Km/h in just 5.1 seconds, instead of
5.4 seconds.
"MANUAL SPORT"/"AUTO SPORT" mode: downshifting with "double declutch"

• The use of the “double declutch” technique when downshifting allows the engine to
slow to speeds more suitable for the new gear and, in the case of the Sport GT S,
produces awesome sounds from the exhaust that add to the driving thrill. In “SPORT”
mode, the transmission helps the driver to use the car in racing style, with very fast
gear shift times.

7. Safety devices
Air Bag Node (NAB) New Low Risk Deployment Air Bags
With effect from 2009, Quattroporte and GranTurismo models are equipped with a
new-generation passenger side air bag system featuring an “intelligent” technology
called Low Risk Deployment.
GranTurismo range cars produced in 2009 may have traditional or LRD air bags. The
GranTurismo M145JL model features the dashboard with new passenger air bag, while
the GranTurismo M145ML is equipped with the traditional bag.
The Low Risk Deployment module is a technical innovation of major importance for
passenger safety. In all types of frontal impact, it offers the occupants of the front seat
unbeatable protection, regardless of age or stature: both the smallest children,
travelling in suitable child seats facing the rear of the car, and adults.
Some features of this air bag are designed to enable it to respond appropriately in all
circumstances: special apertures reduce the device’s pressure when the bag
encounters an obstacle near the dashboard, while the bottom part is shaped to fit the
head of a baby in a cradle. The sides are shaped to hold the shoulders, reducing the
pressure on the head and chest.
The air bag has been completely restyled to ensure that its volume, shape,
characteristics and deployment comply with the most severe passenger protection
standards without having to adopt the complex advanced weight sensor (AWS) system
on the markets where this system is required. The new generation air bags are also
more attractive.
N.B.: there have been no changes to the other components of the air bag system.

8. Electrical systems and functions

Restyling of Florence diagram of Quattroporte 4.2L and 4.7L.
There are a number of differences compared to the Florence diagram of the
Quattroporte Automatic up until MY08:
• elimination of CAF front headlight direction control ECU;
• use of master and slave NFA nodes for control of headlights, as on the
GranTurismo;
• elimination of the NSPE node for the AWS system (USA market) further to
adoption of the new LRD air bag;
• elimination of the I-CAN line for the TV and mobile phone unit control node; these
applications are now integrated in the NIT module (TV only available in
combination with optional Bose NIT).
Notes:
(*) Not supplied as standard / depends on version.
The NCM module K-line is only used for Motronic ME7 systems.
Maserati Academy 18
iPod connection to Magneti Marelli NIT:
Cars affected: GranTurismo models with Magneti Marelli NIT, hardware version 8.0 and
8.1.
The iPod interface, standard for the USA and Canada markets on the entire M145
range with Magneti Marelli NIT, allows an iPod to be connected to the USB / AUX IN
socket in the glove compartment.
iPod connection lead (P/N 251221)
If the NIT has a USB charger dock:

The iPod cannot be controlled by means of the NIT; its own controls have to be used.
The AUX IN socket receives the analogue audio signal while the USB dock is only used
to supply the device with power.
If the NIT has a “USB Full” dock (for HW 8.0 and HW 8.1 NITs only):
In this case the iPod can be controlled using the controls of the NIT (Compatibility may
be only partial, depending on the iPod version).
Important note: for this function to be enabled, the NIT must comply with the following
conditions:
1.Software version BR2 or later
2.Function enabled in the car’s Proxi (using the Proxi configuration procedure)
Proxi configuration:
• 034 – Magneti Marelli iPod NIT
• 042 – Magneti Marelli iPod NIT removal (opposite of function no. 034): this Proxi
configuration eliminates the setting of the (optional) iPod connection for the car’s
InfoTainment system (N.B: if the user wishes to remove the iPod function, he can also
do this by simply disconnecting the iPod connection lead).
Maserati Academy 19
2010 range:
The GranCabrio, the third tine of the Maserati Trident, joined the range in 2010.
The GranCabrio, launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September 2009,
completed the Maserati range, with three separate families of models: Quattroporte,
GranTurismo, GranCabrio - in other words: saloon, coupe and convertible.
The GranCabrio is the first Maserati convertible to seat four in comfort.
A major step forward in engine management was achieved by introducing the Bosch
Motronic ME9.1.1 engine management system, first used on the Quattroporte S in
2008.
The new INA valve timing control devices went into production on the entire range of
engines (4.2 L and 4.7 L).

Maserati Academy 20
GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible) (M145BD)
The GranCabrio (better known on some markets as the GranTurismo Convertible)

started an important new chapter in Maserati’s history. This Maserati is different from all
those which went before it.
The name, GranCabrio, recalls the famous Maserati tradition and experience, while
also linking the new car to the GranTurismo concept and re-evoking the GranSport cars
of the past. At the same time, the name underlines how much this car differs from all
previous models. The GranCabrio redefines the idea of the “cabriolet” or convertible.
This four-seater convertible is the natural completion of the Maserati range: customers
in search of outstanding performance combined with luxury and genuine Italian style
can now choose between a four-door saloon, a genuine GranTurismo coupe and the
pleasure of driving with the wind in their hair in an elegant convertible.
The GranCabrio has the same technical profile as the GranTurismo S Automatic. It
shares the same platform and the wheelbase is identical to that of its twin model. Under
the bonnet there is the same wet sump 4.7L engine, capable of delivering a power of
440 HP.
The Maserati GranCabrio is equipped with six-speed ZF automatic transmission and a
hydraulic torque converter that guarantees smooth gear shifts, while also maintaining
the characteristics of the sporty V8 engine.
It is fitted with Skyhook electronic suspension control system as standard. This system
features dampers with aluminium body with constant adjustment of the damping effect.
This solution adapts the car’s attitude to driving style and road conditions instantly, for a
ride of unbeatable comfort.
Maserati Academy 21
Exterior
Styled by the great master Pininfarina, the GranCabrio has a canvas top, a styling
feature that links the car firmly to the Maserati tradition of refinement.
With the top on, the non-existent rear upright is simulated by the elegant forward-
sloping design, which gives the GranCabrio the look of an elegant coupe.
Once the top is down, the Maserati GranCabrio is transformed into a stunning
convertible, a paragon of feline power and grace. The dynamism of the side view is
accentuated by the car’s low ground clearance and a long bonnet with an elegant “V”
profile leading the eye forward to the radiator grille with a large chromed Trident in its
centre.
The sides also feature chromed trims, giving the GranCabrio’s appearance an added
gleam. One particularly attractive touch is the continuous chromed profile which runs
around the edge of the cabin and incorporates the third brake light.
The GranCabrio’s shape is the outcome of lengthy aerodynamic tests performed to
reduce the resistance typical of open-topped cars. The GranCabrio’s Cx coefficient is
amongst the best in its category: 0.35 with the top up and 0.39 with it down. The spoiler
and rear cone both help to generate the highest possible downforce.
Interior
The Maserati GranCabrio is the only true convertible in its class capable of seating four
adults in comfort, in an elegant, luxurious interior. The amount of space in the cabin is
far above average, and assures outstanding comfort even for rear seat passengers.
Maserati Academy 22
The GranCabrio’s interior is attractive to look at and to touch. It has been created using
the very finest materials: the leather is hand-crafted by Poltrona Frau® and the
dashboard, door panel and side panels are in the choicest types of wood. The
craftsmanship and attention to detail are also clear in the chromed rings around the
dashboard buttons and steering wheel, not to mention the Alcantara finishes on the
area of the gear shift panels on the steering wheel.
The on-board comfort level is also increased by the canvas soft-top, in three layers for
excellent soundproofing. With the top down and only two passengers on board, air
flows through the interior can be minimised with the aid of the windstop, specially
designed for the GranCabrio (available on request).
On the Maserati GranCabrio the climate control system has been developed to
guarantee the maximum comfort, whether the top is up or down. The system
automatically recognises the mode in which the car is being used, and reprogrammes
its emissions mixed with air to maintain the set temperature.
N.B.: For a full account of all the car’s technical features, the soft-top
construction type, the important innovative systems and passive and active
safety components, reference should be made to the “Maserati
GranCabrio” manual.

2011 range:
The new GranTurismo MC Stradale (M145OL) and the Quattroporte Sport GTS Awards
Edition (M139PQ) special edition joined the range in 2011.
The GranTurismo MC Stradale became the fastest, lightest and most powerful car in
the Maserati range, inspired by the experience of the Maserati Corse racing team in the
Trofeo Maserati and FIA GT4 championship.
The Quattroporte Sport GTS Awards Edition, born to celebrate the no less than fifty-six
awards won by the Maserati Quattroporte in just six years since its launch, was based
on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, with the aim of combining all the characteristics that
had made the Maserati flagship such a benchmark in the segment in a single car.
An important safety upgrade was introduced across the entire range, with the second
generation TPMS system.

GranTurismo MC Stradale (M145OL)
In 2011 Maserati drew on the excellent performance of the GranTurismo S and the
experience gained on the racetracks with the Trofeo and GT4 to launch the
GranTurismo MC Stradale. This model made full use of the experience of the Maserati
Corse racing team, as its name clearly indicates.
It therefore became the link between the road car range and the racing sector, and is
the perfect example of Maserati’s ability to develop a product equally suited to the road
and the racing circuit.
The GranTurismo MC Stradale weighs an impressive 110 kg less than the
GranTurismo, with an overall weight of 1,770 kg. This characteristic reflects the benefits
of the Maserati cars in the racing range, maintaining optimal weight distribution (48%
front, 52% rear), to guarantee balanced handling and even tyre wear.
With 331 kW, the 4.7 litre V8 engine gives the car higher power (450 HP against 440)
than the GranTurismo S, while the 510 Nm of torque is also an improvement of 20 Nm.
These characteristics help to cut acceleration times from 0 to 100 km/h, which the
Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale achieves in just 4.6 seconds, and increasing the to
speed to 301 km/h.
The state-of-the-art electronics on board drastically reduce the gear shifting times of
the new MC Race robotized transmission to just 60 milliseconds.
It was the first Maserati in history to have a dedicated Race mode, combined with the
upgrades of the Auto and Sport modes, with a simplified control layout on the
dashboard.
Maserati Academy 32
Exterior
The MC Stradale’s front miniskirts, air intakes and spoilers are larger than those of the
GranTurismo. Experience on the race track and fluid dynamic research have led to the
development of package with greater aerodynamic efficiency. In particular, the front
spoiler, side miniskirts and slots in the front fenders combine to push the front of the
car down at high speeds, cool the brakes, extract hot air from the brake circuits as well
as delivering downforce to the entire car.
Overall, the MC Stradale is 48 mm longer than the GranTurismo and is 10 mm closer
to the ground at the front and 12 mm at the rear, generating a 25% increase in front
and 50% in rear downforce at 200 km/h.
Interior
Maserati Academy 33
The MC Stradale became the only two-seater in the current Maserati range; the rear
seats were eliminated to save weight.
The front seats are extremely lightweight and comfortable, with carbon fibre shell, high-
tech upholstery and the Trident logo stitched on the headrest. Their body-hugging
shape provides the torso and legs with perfect support during high-speed cornering on
the race track, as well as all the comfort needed for long road journeys.
They can be adjusted by hand to move the base backwards or forwards and tilt the
back. They can also have three different heights, set on request.
N.B.: For a general view of all the car’s technical features and the
information needed for diagnostics and the performance of service and
repairs on the car, reference should be made to the ”Technical
Presentation: GranTurismo MC Stradale” manual, 2011 edition.
Maserati Academy 34
Quattroporte Sport GTS Awards Edition (M139PQ)
The special “Awards Edition”, based on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, aimed to combine
all the characteristics that have made the Maserati flagship such a benchmark in the
segment in a single car:
• the unique, elegant style, mixed with a touch of racing verve thanks to the distinctive
external and internal fittings;
• driving enjoyment, because the Quattroporte “Awards Edition” is based on the
Quattroporte Sport GT S, a car with top-class handling and performance;
• hand-crafted details that make every car a one-off.
Exterior
It is immediately recognisable from the outside thanks to the new “Quarzo fuso” finish,
an exclusive for this model.
The burnished finish of the chromed external parts, the side air intakes and the radiator
surround, match the 20” Multi Trident wheels in satin-finish dark grey.
Maserati Academy 35
The dual cast braking system, similar to that of the Quattroporte Sport GT S, is given
added lustre by the hand-polishing of both the front and the rear calipers. With the
Quattroporte Sport GT S “Awards Edition”, for the first time Maserati and Brembo
offered the market a precision-engineered polished brake caliper, half-finished to a
mirror-like shine which also highlights its racing connotations.
A special “Awards Edition” badge features on the car’s exterior.
Interior
The interior also reflects the Maserati flagship’s famed combination of racing élan and
craftsmanship. The Poltrona Frau® leather of the seats is used alongside perforated
Alcantara with a new wave pattern. The roof lining is also in Alcantara. The interior is
completed by the special brushed aluminium underdoor moulding covers and the satin
finish Piano Black wooden mouldings.
The black-lined boot is ornamented with chromed details and also has a leather side
pocket. The attention to details even reaches to the mats, in an even richer, softer
material.
Maserati Academy 36
1. Engine
The improvements introduced in the MY11 range related to the new engine of the
GranTurismo MC Stradale, the F136YK, derived from the F136 YE version.
This V8 engine with displacement of 4.7 L has power of 331 kW at 7,000 rpm
(10 horsepower more than the GranTurismo S); the torque curve is even more
accentuated at low rpm and the maximum torque is 510 Nm at 4,750 rpm (20 Nm
higher than the GranTurismo).
The majority of the improvements derived from the “Low Friction Program” which
redesigned the fluid dynamics of the oil sump and the DLC (Diamond-Like Coating)
finish of the hydraulic tappets and camshaft lobes. This improved the engine’s power
and consumption efficiency, thus reducing its emissions.
F136YK Engine Technical Data

Displacement: 4,691 cc
Bore and Stroke 94 mm x 84.5 mm
Compression ratio: 11.25:1
Maximum power: 331 kW (450 HP) at 7,000 rpm
Maximum torque: 510 Nm at 4,750 rpm
Maximum rpm: 7,500 rpm
Maserati Academy 37
Specific engine components for F136 YK
• Camshafts with special surface “Tribofinishing”;

• Crankshaft with special surface “Tribofinishing”;
• Specific connecting-rods with modified seats for new big end bearings and new
small end bushing;
• Special lead-free big-end bearings;
• Pistons with phosphating surface treatment on skirt and special piston rings;
• Oil pump with higher pressure setting increased by 0.5 bar;
• Modified engine block with special reed valves.
The most noticeable, highest-impact change is the reduction in internal friction due to
the development of a system of reed valves in the engine block which simulate the dry
sump system even though no recovery pump is installed. The four reed valves return
the excess oil to the upper area where the crankshaft operates. The pressure balancing
achieved simulates a dry sump effect.

7. Safety devices
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (NTP)
Foreword
The European Commission has ruled that all new cars introduced onto the market with
effect from 2012 and new cars put on sale from 2014 must be fitted with a TPMS as
standard.
The first legislation making the installation of a TPMS on all new cars put on sale
compulsory was introduced in the United States, from 2008. In Europe, safety reasons
have been reinforced by environmental considerations, a fundamental factor in the
decision to make TPMS compulsory. In association with its supplier Beru, Maserati has
had a TPMS system for years.
The system measures the pressure of all four tyres in real time and alerts the driver in
the event of a drop in pressure.
This system was now introduced in a new version (TPMS 2.5), intended to improve its
efficacy and reliability; the differences compared to the previous version (TPMS 1.5) will
be illustrated below.
Cars affected
M139 and M145 as an optional until the legislation comes fully into effect (already
standard on USA, Canada and Japan versions and for some market specifications).

Maserati Academy 47
Data communication
The NTP is connected to the B-can line for data exchange with other nodes for
diagnostic communication.
The NTP uses a dedicated LIN line to receive data from the wheel antennas.
Description of the system
The second generation TPMS consists of the following components:

• NTP ECU (version 2.5)
• 4 wheel ECUs, integrated in the wheel valves (specific sensors Gen 2.3)
• 4 Triggers
• 2 digital antennas
• TPMS warning light
The second generation has new digital antennas and new wheel sensor, while the
transmission frequency is unchanged at 433MHz (315MHz for the Japanese market).
The second generation TPMS ECU has the same shape and size as the old version,
but the connector and PIN OUT are different.
TPMS 2.5 TPMS 1.5
Operation:
The new system has two antennas, in the left front and right rear of the car respectively.
The two antenna system improved signal reception performance, meaning that a new
ECU, capable of managing two antennas and four triggers, had to be introduced.
The new system functions by a different method from the previous generation. The
system uses a Trigger installed in each wheel arch, which polls the pressure sensor in
the valve when the vehicle is at a standstill. When the car is on the move, the system
enables the pressure sensor to switch to automatic data transmission mode, and the
data are transmitted every 3 seconds. If the system detects that the data from a
specific sensor have been lost, it uses the wheel’s trigger to poll the sensor and force it
to transmit data.
Maserati Academy 48
Electric system diagram
Description
The NTP receives power at +15 (controlled by the ignition key).
The sensors mounted inside the wheel rims, next to the tyre inflation valve, monitor the
tyre pressure (they also monitor the temperature value, not shown on the display).
The NTP acquires the tyre pressure and temperature data from the two wheel
antennas fitted in the front left and rear right wheel arches. The antennas receive this
information from the wheel ECU by means of radio waves (RF transmission).
Each wheel ECU, incorporated in the tyre valve, has an ID code, which is transmitted
together with the temperature and the pressure data. This means that each tyre is
monitored separately.
The ECU acquires the tyre status, processes the data and sends a series of data about
the tyre pressure status and any system errors to the on-board control panel by means
of the B-CAN line.
The NTP also receives the following information on the B-CAN line:
• Acquisition of the calibration command acceptance signal from the B-CAN network;
• Car speed (from NBC);
• Engine rpm (from NBC);
Instrument panel node (NQS):
• It acquires the signals on the B-CAN network and processes the tyre pressure status
data;
• It controls the calibration command by means of the specific menu and transmits the
signal on the network;
• It acquires the calibration command acceptance signal from the B-CAN network.
Maserati Academy 49
Operation:
Once the calibration procedure has been requested (see System calibration), if the
system has received data from all the wheel sensors in that ignition cycle and all the
pressures detected are above 0.6 [bar], the NTP starts the calibration procedure. If any
of the tyres has a pressure of less than 0.6 bar, calibration is not permitted.
The system takes the maximum pressure of each axle as the rated pressure and
calculates the Soft Warning and Hard Warning threshold pressure for each axle using
the following formulae:
• Soft Warning threshold = rated pressure - 0.3 [bar]

• Hard Warning threshold = 75% of rated pressure
N.B.: It is fundamental to bear in mind that the pressure considered for calculating the
Soft and Hard Warning thresholds is the Absolute Pressure and not the manometric
pressure.
Absolute Pressure = Manometric pressure + Atmospheric pressure (e.g. Absolute P.
(3.3 bar) = Manometric P. (2.3 bar) + Atmospheric P. (1 bar) ).
The TPMS will warn the driver if any of the following conditions occurs:
• Soft Warning: The Soft Warning alert message is activated as soon as one of the tyre
pressures drops below the Soft Warning threshold.
• Hard Warning: The Hard Warning alert message is activated as soon as one of the
tyre pressures rises above the Hard Warning threshold.
• Rapid loss of pressure: If the pressure of a tyre falls at a rate of more than 0.35
[bar/min] the Hard Warning alert message is activated.
• Run Flat Warning: The Hard Warning alert message is activated as soon as one of the
tyre pressures falls below 0.6 [bar].
• Over Temperature Warning: if the temperature measured by a wheel sensor exceeds
105ºC (221ºF) the system will activate the over temperature warning, which will
disappear as soon as the temperature reading returns to 100ºC (212ºF) or less.
• Change in wheel position: If the system detects that even just one of the wheel
sensors has changed its position since the last ignition cycle (if the position of a wheel
has changed), the TPMS will ask the driver to recalibrate the system. This enables the
TPMS to recalculate the alarm thresholds.
Maserati Academy 50
Reset conditions:
The Soft/Hard Warning alert is deactivated when the pressure reading obtained by the
wheel sensor that activated the alert message exceeds the Soft/Hard Warning
threshold.
A Hard Warning alert triggered by a rapid drop in pressure is deactivated at the next
ignition cycle if the conditions which activated the alarm no longer apply.
The Run Flat Warning alert is deactivated when the pressure reading obtained by the
wheel sensor that activated the alert message exceeds the Run Flat Warning
threshold.
Calibrating the system:

The system requires calibration after:
• replacement of one or more tyres;
• swapping of wheels;
• if uncertain whether at least one of the above has been performed.
There is no need for recalibration if a tyre has simply been topped up to the correct
pressure.
To calibrate the system, select the “TPMS Calibration” screen on the multifunction
display by pressing the “MODE” key A.
Then hold down the “+” B key to start calibration.
This operation can be carried out with the key turned to MAR and the engine off. The
system will take a few seconds to complete the process, during which the display
shows the green symbol and the message “Calibration activated”. If the informative
screen showing the pressure values of each tyre is recalled, dashes “--.--“ will appear
instead of the values.
Maserati Academy 51
Interference may cause problems in TPMS calibration if it is carried

out in a zone with large amounts of RF radiation. In case of
difficulties with calibration, try performing the procedure on the
open road, outside the town centre.
TPMS 2.5 system wheel ECUs are not interchangeable with first
generation (TPMS 1.5) wheel ECUs.
N.B.: For further information about the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(NTP), refer to the “Advanced Electronics 2” manual.

Head liner Node (NIM)
Description
There have been SW upgrades to the Head liner Node (NIM) ECU on both the
Quattroporte and the GranTurismo.
The upgrade was necessary across the entire range because the new TPMS (2.5) does
not require the dedicated TPMS calibration key (the first generation TPMS had a
calibration key on the light fitting in the middle of the roof, connected to the NIM node
wiring).
In addition, the description of the operating mode of the analogue clock was modified
on the Quattroporte range, to bring it into line with the clock’s real mode of operation.

GranTurismo MC (M145PL) USA and Canada markets
The unique style of the new Maserati GranTurismo MC MY12 is inherited from the
family to which the GranTurismo range belongs. The GranTurismo MC raises the
GranTurismo S to an even higher level; this sports version of the coupe, designed by
Pininfarina and powered by a V8 4.7L engine, is the epitome of exclusiveness and
performance.
Stylistically, the GranTurismo MC reproduces the look of the GranTurismo MC Stradale.
This car, intended for the USA and Canada markets, has a V8 engine that generates
450 HP at 7,000 rpm and 510 Nm of torque at 4,750 rpm. The ZF 6 speed automatic
transmission has MC Auto Shift: rev limiter gear keeper, double declutch, launch
control, digital rpm counter, sporty accelerator map and valve opening control software
in Sport mode.
Suspensions with single racing setup are supplied as standard, with Skyhook version
on request.
Exterior
The exterior of the GranTurismo MC retains the sporty style of the GranTurismo MC
Stradale (bumpers, miniskirts, silencers and wheels).
Maserati Academy 55
Interior
The seats are upholstered in fine Poltrona Frau® Italian leather and the combination of
leather and Alcantara used for the interior finishes also helps to restyle the dashboard.
The front seats provide excellent support in all driving conditions while the rear seats
allow four adults to be transported in comfort.
The general style of the dashboard is very different from that of the GranTurismo S:
in keeping with the car’s more sporty concept, the luxury chromed trims have been
replaced with a more streamlined look in black. Alcantara is used on the central
console, the central armrest, the door panel armrests, the handles and the dashboard.
Maserati Academy 56
GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible) Sport (M145DD)
The GranCabrio Sport, introduced in MY12, extends an important chapter in Maserati’s

history, that of the convertible able to seat four in comfort, with docile, smooth power
always ready to respond, with an unmistakable style combined with an unrivalled
elegance.
Alongside the elegant, already high-performing GranCabrio, first introduced in MY10,
the launch of an even more sporty, dynamic version is typical of our marque’s
philosophy. The GranCabrio and GranCabrio Sport are similar in soul but with different
details.
The throbbing heart of the GranCabrio Sport delivers 450 HP thanks to a series of
innovations to improve its operation. It was designed with important innovations to
reduce friction, such as the use of DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) for the tappets and
camshaft loads. The 6 speed ZF automatic transmission has MC Auto Shift: rev limiter
gear keeper, double declutch, launch control, digital rpm counter and sporty
accelerator map.
The GranCabrio Sport’s outstanding performance is achieved thanks to a series of
special design features introduced on this model. The car’s standard outfit includes
Skyhook suspensions with dampers with continual variation of the damping effect, with
a special setup for this version.
There was a major modification to the suspension system:
• The rear stabiliser bar is now solid, with diameter of 20 mm;

Maserati Academy 57
Exterior
The GranCabrio Sport has a radiator grille with black vertical strips, and the internal
surround of the headlamps is also black, with white direction indicators. The usual
Trident in the centre of the grille has red details: a feature that only appears on the
most powerful models in the Maserati range.
The front flick-ups, the door handles and rear-view mirror casings are coloured to
match the car’s body, like the miniskirts, supplied as standard, that underline the
model’s aggressive spirit and play an important role in its aerodynamics.
A black finish is also used along the shadow line, accentuating the car’s dynamic
personality. The oval tailpipes are also black; they make the new model unmistakable
and are also available in carbon fibre on request.
Interior
The new front seats have a lumbar region adjustment system.

The gear shift paddles on the steering wheel are of Trofeo Design type (standard outfit
on this model); integral with the steering column, they are longer than usual to ensure
they can easily be operated with the wheel at any angle. On the GranCabrio Sport the
pedals are in perforated aluminium, designed to meet the needs of a sporty driving
style.

GranCabrio Fendi Limited Edition
After the great success of its worldwide premier at the Frankfurt International Motor
Show in 2011, the GranCabrio Fendi has made its entrance onto the market of
reference in a limited edition of 50 cars.
All fifty cars are identified by a badge on the right-hand side of the dashboard, beside
the GranCabrio logo. The badge carries the Maserati Trident, the Fendi logo and the
car’s production number. The GranCabrio Fendi is powered by a 4.7L V8 that delivers
440 HP at 7,000 rpm and a torque of 490 Nm at 4,750 rpm.
Exterior
All fifty cars in this limited edition are in the special “Grigio Fiamma Fendi” colour, a very
special “flame grey” with golden highlights, chosen like the rest of the car’s details by
Silvia Venturini Fendi, and recalling the yellow and grey colours of the Fendi brand. The
exterior equipment is completed by the 20” Trident Design wheels with the Fendi double
"F" logo in the centre, yellow brake calipers and a special badge on the roof.
Maserati Academy 59
Interior
The colours and the materials used for the interior have been produced exclusively for
this model. The interior is adorned with FENDI Pergamena yellow walnut, featured on
the dashboard, the door panels and the gear lever knob.
The brow of the instrument panel, the gear lever and the mat trims are in Roman
leather.

Cars affected: GranTurismo S (M145HL), GranTurismo S (M145LL), GranTurismo MC
(M145PL), GranCabrio (M145BD), GranCabrio Sport (M145DD), Quattroporte S
(M139IQ), Quattroporte SPORT GT S (M139MQ) and Quattroporte Sport GTS Awards
Edition (M139PQ).
The “Low Friction Program” package has been applied to the entire range of 4.7 litre
engines; this package improves performance and reduces fuel consumption by about
6%.
Most of the improvements are generated by the technology used for the GranTurismo
MC Stradale (M145OL); they involve the redesign of the oil sump fluid dynamics and
the use of Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) on the tappets and camshaft lobes.
The result is an engine with lower fuel consumption and emissions that maintains its
performance in terms of power and torque: 323 kW (440 HP) at 7,000 rpm and 490 Nm
at 4,750 rpm.

2013 Range:
At the 2012 Geneva Motor show, Maserati presented the new GranTurismo Sport, a car
that reaches new heights in sporty elegance.
Drawing on the success of a model that has provided the benchmark in the Gran
Turismo sector until now, the new GranTurismo Sport stands out from the crowd thanks
to its thorough restyling and a series of new technical features that further reinforce its
sporty character, in terms of both performance and design, inside and out.
With its dual personality, the GranTurismo Sport offers the handling of a real high-
performance sports car on the one hand, without any detriment to its elegance and
passenger comfort, features no Maserati can be without.

GranTurismo (M145) Range:
• GranTurismo Sport (M145HL/LL) NEW
• GranTurismo MC Stradale (M145OL)
• GranTurismo MC Auto (M145PL)
• GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible) Sport (M145DD)
Quattroporte (M139) Range:

Maserati Academy 67
GranTurismo Sport (M145HL and M145LL)
The GranTurismo Sport is the evolution of the GranTurismo S and the GranTurismo S
Automatic; this new model combines the two in the Maserati MY13 range.
The GranTurismo range now comprises three main versions:
• GranTurismo (4.2 L Automatic Transmission);
• GranTurismo (4.7 L Automatic/Robotized Transmission);
• GranTurismo MC Stradale (4.7 L Robotized Transmission).
The GranTurismo Sport is available with two types of transmission: automatic 6 speed
(MC Auto Shift) and robotized 6 speed (MC Shift).
With the MC Shift transmission, the GranTurismo Sport has the Transaxle layout,
providing optimal weight distribution (47% front and 53% rear) for even better
performance and more fun at the wheel.
The MC Auto Shift version (automatic transmission) has slightly different weight
distribution, with 49% at the front and 51% at the rear.
Maserati Academy 68
Exterior
The restyling operation has focused mainly on the front of the car. The extreme
personality of the GranTurismo MC Stradale has been reinterpreted in terms of sporting
elegance, entirely in keeping with the Gran Turismo concept.
The new headlamps, with LED DRL parking lights, help to reinforce the character of the
car’s front view, with new colours on the internal casing, further enhanced by new
finishes.
The side grilles are larger, with improved performance. On the new GranTurismo Sport
the front bumper has a new central splitter, supplied as standard in matt black but
available in carbon fibre as an optional.
On the GranTurismo Sport the side miniskirts give the car personality and render it
recognisable at a glance. The side miniskirts give the GranTurismo Sport an aggressive
style while also increasing its aerodynamic efficiency. They were developed in the wind
tunnel and help to convey the flow of air to the wheels.
A new central and rear floor has also improved the Cx and Cz coefficients.
Interior
Maserati Academy 69
The aim pursued in the restyling of the interior was to achieve the ideal balance of
comfort and performance, maintaining all functional features by adding character,
making the cabin sportier and more attractive, without sacrificing the luxury and
elegance key to the Maserati brand.
The most importance change is to the seats, which make the car more recognisable
even from the outside. The steering wheel has a more racing shape and the seats are
shaped more closely to the body. Their form has been specially designed for the
GranTurismo Sport, for a discerning driver in search of style and performance, with
ergonomics an important factor.
The Maserati GranTurismo Sport states

its intentions at once with the introduction
of new, more sporty front seats with
integral headrest.
Special care has been taken over
ergonomic aspects, which have
generated considerable improvements in
terms of space and convenience.
The seats are now even more comfortable, with the seat size increased to 300 mm. To
provide the lateral support required for a more sporty driving style, the side of the shell
has been modified to increase the volume of the retaining padding, creating a
comfortable, body-hugging seat that provides better support even at the side when
driving conditions require.
The rear seats have also been completely renewed in the same style as those at the
front. The philosophy applied has improved comfort levels for all passengers while at
the same time giving a sporty, dynamic look. The use of the new sporty front seats with
back cover has also considerably increased the space available for the rear occupants.
The introduction of the new front and rear seats has increased the space inside the car,
with an extra 20 millimetres of leg room for rear passengers.
Maserati Academy 70
New sporty steering wheel:

The new sporting steering wheel is designed to give the driver the best driving
experience, thanks to its new ergonomic shape.
The steering wheel’s dimensions have been changed, flattening the top and bottom.
The new GranTurismo Sport has two

standard contents intended to make driving
this car a uniquely thrilling experience:
• Maserati "Active Shifting" (Trofeo design):

the steering wheel paddles are longer than
those available on the other models in the
Maserati range. Their ergonomic shape
makes shifting gears easier on winding
roads.
• Perforated aluminium pedals.
Maserati Academy 71
1. Engine
The engine of the new GranTurismo Sport (F136YS for automatic transmission version
and F136YQ for robotized transmission) features the “”Power Increase” package which
introduces major changes to the engine, continuing the series of technological
developments Maserati has adopted over the last few years, since the launch of the
GranTurismo MC Stradale.
The Power Increase package has been applied to the following cars: GranTurismo MC
Stradale, GranTurismo MC, GranTurismo Sport and GranCabrio Sport (GranTurismo
Convertible Sport).
The increased performance (+10 HP and 20 Nm of torque) has been achieved in
SPORT mode and at engine speeds above 5,500 rpm. These figures were arrived at by
optimising the engine mapping for the use of petrol with at least 98 RON, increasing the
valve overlap above 5,500 rpm thanks to the VVT system and optimal use of timing
advance. In Normal mode, the intake timing control devices are used in the same way
as previously.
The modifications made to the engine to improve performance in terms of power and
torque have not generated any increase in fuel consumption or emissions.
The improvements include the development of new engine mapping to optimise
combustion parameters, improved management of variable valve timing at high rpm
and, last but not least, the redesign of new, reinforced pistons.
These changes, combined with the use of 98 RON petrol to maximise performance,
increase the engine’s maximum power to 338 kW (460 HP) at 7,000 rpm, with a peak
torque of 520 Nm obtained at 4,750 rpm.
Maserati Academy 72
F136YS-YQ Engine Technical Data
Displacement: 4,691 cc
Bore: 94 mm
Stroke: 84.5 mm
Compression ratio: 11.25:1
Maximum power: 338 kW (460 HP)
Engine speed at max power 7,000 rpm
Maximum torque: 520 Nm
Engine speed at peak torque 4,750 rpm
Maximum rpm: 7,200 rpm
The new F136YS and F136YQ engines have a maximum power of 338 kW (460 HP) at
7,000 rpm, meaning 10 horsepower more than the GranTurismo S.
The torque also rises by 10 Nm from the 510 Nm of the GranTurismo S to the 520 Nm
of the GranTurismo Sport at 4,750 rpm.
The improvements introduced by the “Low Friction Program” and the “Power Increase”
package have also helped to improve the performances of the engine installed on the
GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible). The new F136YP engine delivers 10 HP more
than the engine mounted on the GranCabrio MY12. 80% of peak torque is already
available from 2,500 rpm and peak torque is also increased by 20 Nm (from 490 Nm to
510 Nm at 4,750 rpm).

Exhaust By-Pass Valves
The exhaust of the GranTurismo Sport retains the valves on the tailpipes which bypass
the silencer to give a strongly sporty identity. In “Auto Sport” mode, the exhaust valves
open from 2,500 rpm. In Manual Sport mode the valves are open at all times.
In “Normal” mode, the valves are closed, forcing the exhaust gases to take the longest
route, dispersing their energy to reduce noise levels.
Maserati Academy 76
3. Transmission
ZF Automatic Transmission
The ZF six speed automatic transmission includes the super-responsive MC Auto Shift
mode, developed directly from the transmission of the Quattroporte Sport GT S for the
GranTurismo S and the GranCabrio Sport.
There are 5 modes available: Auto-Normal, Auto-Sport, Manual-Normal, Manual-Sport
and Ice.
In Manual Normal mode the driver controls gear shifts and changes are permitted up to
the red area on the rpm counter.
In Auto-Sport mode gear shifting is completely automatic and changes are made more
quickly, for a more sporty handling sensation.
The cars which feature the MC Auto Shift strategy are: GranTurismo Sport (M145HL),
GranTurismo MC (M145PL) and GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible) Sport
(M145DD).
Launch Control (MC Start Strategy):

The new MC Auto Shift includes the Launch Control mode and is active in Auto-Sport
mode.
To optimise standing starts, the automatic transmission offers the MC Start Strategy,
which works with the MSP/ESC off.
The driver has to keep the brake pedal depressed and then press the accelerator pedal
before releasing the brake pedal when the engine reaches the optimal speed (2,300-
2,500 rpm). This fast start strategy, only recommended for use on the racing circuit and
in situations of absolute safety, reduces the time from 0 to 100 [Km/h] (0-62 mph) from
5.0 to 4.8 seconds.
Gear Keeper
As on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, the MC Auto Shift allows the driver to take even
more charge of the car’s performance. In Manual-Sport mode, the chosen gear is
maintained even when the engine reaches the rev limiter setting.
Rpm Counter
For unbeatable driving pleasure, a digital rpm counter that indicates the ideal time to
shift gear is also provided.
Downshifting with “double declutch”

The use of the “double declutch” technique when downshifting allows the engine to
slow to speeds more suitable for the new gear. This strategy is available in Manual
Sport and Auto Sport modes.
Maserati Academy 77
6. Suspensions and wheels

Sport-Skyhook set-up:
In terms of suspensions, the new GranTurismo Sport is equipped as standard with the
Sport Skyhook system, the evolution of the continuous damping control system, which
makes the car even more responsive and enjoyable to drive, while simultaneously
increasing comfort levels for passengers. In SPORT mode, the car is even more
sensitive to inputs from the driver, while in Normal mode it constantly adapts the
damping response to absorb any roughness in the road surface and give smoother
handling.
All this delivers a level of handling response that combines sporty performance and
comfort in all driving conditions.
SKH N: Skyhook Normal Mode

SKH S: Skyhook Sport Mode
In the GranTurismo Sport, the difference between dynamic response in Normal and
Sport modes is even more noticeable than with the previous version of the Skyhook.
The new setup of the GranTurismo Sport’s suspensions has improved the car’s
dynamic behaviour for both transmission types, automatic and robotized, in both Sport
and Normal modes.
Maserati Academy 78
In NORMAL mode, the impact damping response is safe but even smoother, while in
SPORT mode all this car’s sporty, agile personality comes to the fore thanks to an
increase of about 10% in vertical rigidity, emphasising the car’s dynamic performance
and reducing roll.
The change is most noticeable on the GranTurismo Sport with automatic transmission,
where the dimensions of the rear stabiliser bar have been increased by about 12%
(+2 [mm], from 19 to 21 [mm]) compared to the solution previously adopted on the
GranTurismo S Automatic.
The GranTurismo Sport with robotized transmission has benefited from the new setup,
with improved handling, traction and consumption.
GranTurismo Sport Automatic Transmission (M145HL):

• New rear springs
• New rear stabiliser bar
• New Skyhook front and rear dampers with variable setup
• New SW for Skyhook ECU
GranTurismo Sport Robotized Transmission (M145LL):

• New Skyhook front and rear dampers with variable setup
• New SW for Skyhook ECU

Adaptive Headlamps System (NFA)
Cars affected: entire M145 range.
The front light assembly retains its original functions and shape but has been
completely redesigned and upgraded thanks to the addition of the DRL (Daytime
Running Light) LED technology. As well as improving the car’s appearance, the new
LED headlights increase visibility and thus safety. The new LED headlamp is available
on all models in the GranTurismo range.
Unlike the conventional bulb-type headlamp, the new LED lights come on faster and
with greater brightness, last longer, consume less electricity and are able to maintain
their performance intact over time.
The external lights and direction indicators only come on with the ignition key turned to
MAR, except for the parking lights, which can be switched on at all times.
The external lights can be switched on and off manually or automatically, in response to
external light levels.
The switch A has 5 positions:

With the introduction of the LED headlamps for the DRL function, it has become
necessary to adopt a new ECU to control the DRL/Side/Parking function.
The ECU is installed outside the light assemblies, inside the right wheel arch, opposite
to the CSA (Theft Alarm ECU).
The ECU has a specially designed housing to accommodate the interface connectors
and ensure a watertight seal.

NSP parking sensor node:

The new front bumper of the GranTurismo Sport, with integral parking sensors
positioned lower down, has made it necessary to reprogram the NSP ECU.
Driving Position node (NAG)
The NAG, installed underneath the driving seat, now features a new HW10 ECU and a
new SW version 2.1.
The changes relate to:
• Seat movement timer
• EEP function with anti-trapping system. The Passenger Easy Entry system allows the
seat to be moved forward to close to the limit position before the backrest is tilted
forward. The seat moves back into place before the backrest is returned to the driving
position.
"Open door timer" function

When a front door is opened with Key-off the seat can be moved for a certain period of
time (door open timer = 3 min.), after which the ECU switches to standby mode. With
the new modification, whenever both front doors are closed the timer is switched to
30 sec to allow the seat to be moved with the doors closed.
At the timer timeout, the NAG sends a message enabling the network to switch to sleep
mode.
EEP function
Changes have been made to the Passenger Easy Entry (EEP) function as described

For a more complete understanding of the changes made, the main functions of the
EEP are summarised below.
Protection functions:
The EEP function may cause panic, so to avoid this risk the EEP is only enabled if the
anti-trapping system is active and after it has been initialised.
Anti-panic function:
Activation of any button, memory, seat or steering wheel adjustment, immediately stops
the automatic function in progress (memory recall, EEG, EEP or EEP initialisation).
Seat slide anti-trapping function during EEP:

To prevent the seat from squashing the rear seat passengers when it moves back into
place after the EEP routine, the ECU is equipped with a “virtual force sensor”.
Thanks to a mathematical algorithm which processes the seat slide movement data
(speed, acceleration, variation in accelerator, motor power supply current, etc., Bitron
patent), when a force of 164 kg is exceeded in 10 mm of travel, the ECU reverses the
seat travel direction for 208 pulses of the Hall sensor (about 3 cm).
The function is not active in the following cases:

• during initialisation
• during gear motor peak torque (about 1 sec.)
• in the first 5 mm of travel from the electric stop
• during automatic realignment after battery disconnection.
Initialisation allows memorisation of:

• seat slide rear limit stop
• seat slide front limit stop
• reference mapping from seat slide forward to backward positions
• reference mapping from seat slide backward to forward positions.

Changes to operation of the EEP
Anti-panic + Manual Movement during return from EEP:

After triggering of an anti-panic response which stopped a return from the EEP position
(backrest to driving position), if the seat is moved backward or forward using the
manual seat control, the new position is considered to be the “new driving position”.
Speed not valid during EEP:

If the vehicle speed signal is not valid, VehicleSpeedFailSts=1, the EEP will only
operate with Key-OFF and door open.
Systematic mapping realignment:

To prevent the build-up of too many position count pulse errors, and prevent the
motors, actuators and mechanical parts from being subjected to the mechanical/electric
stress of the mechanical limit stop, the EEP function utilises the mechanical limit stop
once and then uses an electronic limit stop, 36 pulses (about 5 mm) earlier, the next 20
times. The 22nd time the mechanical limit stop will again be used. When the
mechanical limit stop is used, the electric limit stop position memory is updated.
Drift correction for repeated easy entries:
To prevent the build-up of counting errors in the event of repeated easy entries, the
return position is only saved if it differs from the current position by +/- 3 pulses.
Anti-trapping current sensor failure:

If a current I< 20050 mA is detected for a time of 1 sec. during initialisation or an EEP,
initialisation/movement of the seat is stopped and the “Current malfunction” is recorded
in the memory.
The EEP function cannot be activated as long as the fault persists.
The test is performed whenever an EEP is activated. If the current measured is
I>20050 the system starts operating correctly again and the disappearance of the fault
is recorded in the memory.
