Wheels Maintenance Tires Maintenance CAUTION!
To obtain the best performances and
the longest mileage from the tires,
take the following precautions during
the first 310 mi (500 km):
• do not drive at the vehicle’s
maximum speed;
• drive at low speed on curves;
• avoid sudden steering;
• avoid sudden braking;
• avoid sudden acceleration;
• do not drive at high speeds for too
long.
The tires inflation pressure must
correspond
to the prescribed values
(see the chapter “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”) and should be
checked only when the tires have
cooled down. In fact, the pressure
increases as the tire temperature
progressively increases.
Never reduce the pressure if tires are
hot (see “Tires – General Information”
chapter in section “Driving”). Insufficient tire inflating pressure can
cause tire overheating and possible
internal damage.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage it.
Impacts with curbs, holes, and
obstacles
in the road, and prolonged
trips on rough roads can cause tire
damage which may not be visible to
the naked eye.
Check your tires regularly for any signs
of damage (e.g. scratches, cuts, cracks,
bulges, etc.). If sharp objects penetrate
the tires, they can cause structural
damage which is only visible when the
tire is removed.
In any case, any possible damage must
be inspected by an experienced
technician, as it may seriously reduce
the tire life.
Remember that tires deteriorate with
time, even if used little or not at all.
Cracks in the tire tread and sides,
alongside possible bulging, are a sign
of deterioration. WARNING!
• Check the inflating pressure of the
tires when cold, at least every two
weeks and before long trips.
• Have old tires inspected by an
experienced technician, to make
sure they can still be used safely. If
the same tire has been on your
vehicle for 4 or 5 years, have it
inspected anyway by an
experienced technician.
• Never fit tires of uncertain origin.
• “Directional” tires have an arrow on
their side showing the rolling
direction. To keep the best
performance when replacing a tire,
make sure that the rolling direction
corresponds to the one shown by
the arrow.
• During the tire life, the rolling
direction used for the first fitting
should always be observed, also in
case of “nondirectional” tires.
• Check the depth of the tire tread at
regular intervals. The thinner is the
tread, the greater is the risk of
skidding.
• Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.Maintenance and Care

Winter Tires
These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
The specific features of the winter tires
lead to lower performance under
normal environmental conditions or
on long highway trips, compared to
the standard tires.
Therefore, their use should be limited
to the situations and performance for
which they have been type-approved.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide all necessary information
about fitting winter tires on the
vehicle.
NOTE:
• We recommend fitting winter tires
on the vehicle at temperatures below
45 °F (7°C) since the driving
performance of summer tires is
reduced at low temperatures.
Summer tires may be permanently
damaged at extremely low
temperatures.
• Comply with all state and local laws
governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements. Wheel Rims Maintenance All wheel trims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes.
Do not use oven cleaner that may
affect and damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.
Bodywork Maintenance
and Care Protection from Atmospheric
Agents The main causes of corrosion are:
• atmospheric pollution;
• salinity and humidity in the
atmosphere (marine areas or a damp
climate);
• seasonal environmental conditions;
• salt scattered on the roadbed to melt
ice and snow.
The abrasive action of wind-carried
atmospheric dust and sand, mud and
stones should not be underestimated.
On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted
the best technological solutions to
protect the bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
• paint products and systems that give
the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
• use of galvanized (or pre-treated)
metal sheets which are highly
resistant to corrosion in the most
exposed parts;
• spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, insides of wheel
housings, and other structures withMaintenance and Care

Vehicle Stored for Long
Periods If the vehicle is going to be stored for
long periods of time, follow the below
precautions:
• Wash and dry the vehicle
thoroughly.
• Store the vehicle on a level surface in
a covered, dry and, if possible,
ventilated area.
• Select P (Park) and turn off the
engine.
• Disconnect the battery (refer
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) or connect a battery charger
(refer to paragraph “Maintaining
Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery
Statement” in this section).
• Check the battery charge status.
During parking, this check must be
carried out every three weeks.
Recharge the battery if the open
circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
• Check that the parking brake is NOT
engaged.
• Do not empty the engine cooling
system.
• Clean and protect the painted parts
applying protective wax. • Clean and protect polished metal
parts with special products available
on the market.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth
in breathable fabric (available from
an Authorized Maserati Dealer ). Do
not use thick plastic sheets, which do
not allow the humidity on the
vehicle surface to evaporate.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure
which must be 14.5 psi (1 bar) higher
than the normally prescribed one,
and check it at regular intervals.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available “Indoor and
Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought
back to the prescribed value before
reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).Restarting the Vehicle Before restarting the vehicle after a
long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for
any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface
of the vehicle: use a damp cloth.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid
leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake
system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filters and have them
replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking
the charge status (refer to
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) and perform the initializing
procedure if applicable. You can
consult the paragraph “Battery
Reconnection” in this chapter for
further information on this subject.Maintenance and Care
