Auxiliary Jump-Start
Procedure If your vehicle has a discharged battery
it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery of another
vehicle or by using a portable battery
booster. It is necessary to have proper
jumper cables in order to connect the
booster battery to the remote posts of
the discharged battery. Booster cables
have usually positive and negative
terminal clamps and are identified by a
different sheath color (red = positive,
black = negative). Maserati provides
on request jumper cables created for
its models and content in a practical
case.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”,
available in the “Genuine Accessories”
range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done improperly so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully. NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster
pack, follow the battery
manufacturer’s operating instructions
and precautions.
CAUTION!
• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage the
electronic systems, particularly the
control units managing the ignition
and fuel supply functions.
• If the battery is completely
discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window. WARNING!
• Using booster packs that have not
been checked, which could therefore
release a too high charging voltage
(higher than 14 V), in extreme
environmental conditions (for
example: closed areas or without
proper ventilation and temperatures
higher than 122°F/50°C or lower
than -4°F/-20°C) create the right
conditions for ignition which could
then cause the battery to explode.
Therefore you shall always perform
jump-starting operations using the
adequate tools and in the best
environmental conditions, taking all
necessary precautions.
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the
discharged battery is frozen. It could
rupture or explode during jump start
and cause personal injury.
• Do not carry out this procedure if
you have not done it before:
incorrect maneuvers can originate
high electrical discharges and even
cause the battery to explode.
• To avoid the risk of explosion or fire,
do not approach the battery withIn an Emergency
6
214

open flames or cigarettes that could
generate sparks.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, see
“Maintenance - Free Battery” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
Access the Battery The battery is stored in the trunk.
• Open the trunk lid (see “Open and
Close the Trunk Lid” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Remove any luggage from the trunk
compartment.
• Remove the floor panel from the
trunk compartment.
• Remove the inside covering panel
from the battery compartment. Remove the cover from the right side
of the battery which protects the
positive pole.
Jump-Start Procedure WARNING!
• The battery is secured to the vehicle
with a metal clamp (indicated in the
picture), so be extremely careful not
to let the clips on the end of the
cables come into contact with it.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical
contact. You could be seriously
injured.
• Do not allow the vehicles involved
in the jump-starting operation to
touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and
cause personal injury.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary
electrical accessories.
• Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into P (Park)
and turn the key in the ignition
switch to STOP (OFF) position.
• If using another vehicle to jump start
the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is off.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable to the positive
(+) pole of the discharged battery.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) pole of the booster
battery.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
negative jumper cable to the
negative (–) pole of the booster
battery.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the negative (–) jumper cable to
the negative (–) pole of the
discharged battery.
• Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the
engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle withIn an Emergency

215

the discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster, wait a few
seconds after connecting the cables,
before starting the booster vehicle.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
negative (–) jumper cable from the
negative (–) pole of the discharged
battery.
• Disconnect the opposite terminal
clamp of the negative jumper cable
from the negative (–) pole of the
booster battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) pole of the booster
battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable from the
positive (+) pole of the discharged
battery.
• After starting the engine of the
vehicle with a discharged battery,
avoid turning it off immediately
because the engine running can help
recharge the battery if the latter is
not broken and if the charging
system is not faulty. NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required to
start your vehicle you should have the
battery and charging system inspected
at an Authorized Maserati Dealer .

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Use If the car is mainly used under one of
the following conditions:
• dusty roads;
• short, repeated journeys (less than
4-5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently thanMaintenance and Care

227

When adding engine coolant
(antifreeze) use pure water only, such
as distilled or deionized water when
mixing the water/engine coolant
(antifreeze) solution. The use of
impure water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the engine
cooling system.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50%
engine coolant (antifreeze) and
distilled water. Use higher
concentrations (do not exceed 70%)
if temperatures below -35°F (-37°C)
are forecast.
Please note that it is the owner's
responsibility to maintain the proper
level of protection against freezing
according to the temperatures
occurring in the circulation area of the
vehicle.
The coolant tank provides a quick
visual method to determine that the
coolant level is adequate. As long as
the engine operating temperature is
satisfactory, the coolant bottle only
needs to be checked once a month.
With the engine off and cold, the level
of the coolant in the tank on the right
side of the engine compartment
should be between the MIN or MAX
reference notches indicated on the
tank. • When additional engine coolant
(antifreeze) is needed to maintain
the proper level, it should be added
to the coolant bottle after removing
the cap. Do not overfill.
• Once the desired level is reached,
reassemble and firmly close cap of
the tank.
• If frequent engine coolant
(antifreeze) additions are required,
or if the level in the coolant recovery
tank does not drop when the engine
cools, the cooling system should be
pressure-tested for leaks by a Service
Center
• Keep the front of the radiator and
the condenser clean.
WARNING!
• Never add engine coolant
(antifreeze) when the engine is hot. Do not loosen or remove the cap of
the engine coolant bottle to cool a
hot engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not
remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
• When adding coolant do not use a
pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.

Brake Fluid Level Check
Check
the fluid level immediately if
the brake system red warning
light and the related message turn on
indicating a low level of brake fluid.
• Clean the brake fluid reservoir area
around the cap before removing it.
• 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.
The brake pads wear could cause the
fluid level to fall. However, low fluid
level may be caused by a leak and a 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. Brake fluid in an open
container absorbs moisture from the
air resulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil
unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in
sudden brake failure. This could
result in an accident.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid on
hot engine parts, causing the brake
fluid to catch fire. 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, causing partial or
complete brake failure. This could
result in an accident.Maintenance and Care
