WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves

Brake Fluid Level Check
Check
the fluid level immediately if
the brake system warning light
(USA) and the related message
turn on indicating a low level of brake
fluid.
• Remove the brake fluid reservoir
access cover. • Clean the top of the master cylinder
reservoir before removing the cap.
• Add fluid to bring the level up to the
“MAX” mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir. Use only
manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid (see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Once the correct level is reached,
firmly close the cap.
Normal brake pad wear could cause
the fluid level to fall. However, low
fluid level may be caused by a leak
too, and requires accurate checkup of
the braking system.
CAUTION!
The symbol
on the tank cap
identifies the synthetic type of brake
fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral type. Using mineral fluids damages the special rubber linings of
the brake system irreparably.
WARNING!
• To avoid contamination from foreign
materials or moisture, use only new
brake fluid or fluid that has been in
a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap
secured at all times.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid.
Brake fluid can also damage painted
and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does
not spill over these surfaces.
• Do not allow petroleum based fluid
to contaminate the brake fluid.
Brake seal components could be
damaged.
Adding Washer Fluid
The
reservoir on
the left side of the
engine compartment contains the
fluid to wash the windshield.
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer
fluid appears together with the
related telltale
add more fluid as
soon as possible.Maintenance and Care
7
327

The fluid reservoir may contain nearly
3.7 Quarts (3.5 litres) of washer fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck.
• Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to “Refillings”
in section “Features and
Specifications”) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out
the residual water. • When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield washer system in cold
weather, select a solution or mixture
that meets or exceeds the temperature
range of your climate. This rating
information can be found on most
washer fluid containers.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the Maserati recommended
“Windshield Washer Fluid” with
antifreeze, available in the “Genuine
Accessories” catalog.
WARNING!
• Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable. They
could ignite and burn you. Care must
be exercised when filling or when
working around the windshield
washer system.
• Do not drive with the windshield
washer reservoir empty: the action
of the washer is essential for improving visibility when driving.

Engine Oil Level Check
T
o assure
proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the
warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled
services (see “Scheduled MaintenanceMaintenance and Care

Fluid Level Check for Coolant
Transmission System
The coolant contained in the bottle of
this system is the same as the one used
for the cooling system of the engine.
For the preparation of the mixture of
water and antifreeze and for the
control of the level, proceed as shown
in the “Engine Coolant Level Check” of
this chapter. Engine Air Filters Replacement Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the air filters replaced.
A/C Air Filter Replacement This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided that
windows and doors are closed.
The filter is located under the hood in
the external A/C system air inlet, on
the passenger side of the vehicle, next
to the windshield wipers.
To replace the filter during the
scheduled maintenance services or
after the vehicle has been heavily used
on dusty roads, proceed as follows:
• Remove the access door in the cowl
screen by pressing the retaining clips
indicated.
• Unsnap both ends and lift the filter
retaining cover. • Remove the used filter slipping it off
from within the air intake.
• Install the new filter with arrows
pointing in the direction of airflow,
which is toward the rear of the
vehicle (text and arrows on the filter
will indicate this).
• Close the filter retaining cover and
reinstall the access door.Maintenance and Care

CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
conditioning and heating system
efficiency.
Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting
When the windshield wiper arms are
in rest position it is not possible to
check or replace the blades as they
remain under the engine hood.
To service the blades it is necessary to
move the wiper arms in “Service”
position (see chapter “Wipers and
Washers” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle”). In this way it is possible
to lift the arms for cleaning or
replacing the wiper blades.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the windshield
wipers in an active position (any
position different from “OFF”) and
with the ignition switch in the RUN
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers. Always use the “Service” position for any
intervention on the windshield wiper
blades.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life
expectancy of
wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks on the glass,
water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield/rear
window glasses periodically with a
sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the tank (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement
• Move the wiper arms into “Service”
position, (see chapter “Windshield
Wipers and Washers” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”) and
lift them.
• Press the indicated button, slip off
the blade support from the arm and
replace it.
• Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
• Turn the multifunction lever to one
of the automatic settings (see
chapter “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” in section “UnderstandingMaintenance and Care
