can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know 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
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:

CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by the
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts (or equivalent) and the
prescribed fluids. Shall this not be the
case, do not carry any operation on
your own and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Onboard Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions suited to current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
MIL is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
the Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required.
Spare Parts Use of genuine parts for normal or
scheduled maintenance and repairs is
highly recommended to ensure
excellent performance.
Damage or failures caused by
non-genuine spare parts used for
maintenance and repairs will not be
covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.Maintenance and Care

Maintenance Procedures The following pages contain the
“required” maintenance standards
determined by Maserati engineers.
Besides those maintenance items
specified in the “Scheduled Service
Plan”, there are other components
which may require service or
replacement in the future.
To perform most of the services, it is
necessary to open the hood (see
“Open and Close the Hood” in section
“Before Starting”).
The following images show the
position of all components involved in
the maintenance service.
CAUTION!
• Failure to properly maintain your
vehicle or perform repairs and
service when necessary could result
in more costly repairs, damage to
other components or negatively
impact vehicle performance.
Immediately have potential
malfunctions examined by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer or a
qualified repair center.
• Your vehicle has been equipped with
improved fluids that protect the
performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended
maintenance intervals. Do not use
chemical flushes for washing as the
chemicals can damage your engine,
transmission, power steering or air
conditioning. Such damages are not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. If a flush is needed
because of component malfunction,
use only a specific product for the
flushing procedure. Maintenance and Care

Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The reservoir on the left side of the
engine compartment contains the
fluid to wash the windshield and
headlights.
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.
The fluid reservoir may contain nearly
1.58 US gallons (6 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck extension.
• 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” range.
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/headlight washer
system. • Do not drive with the windshield/
headlight washer reservoir empty:
the action of the washer is essential
for improving visibility when
driving.

the related message of low oil level
displays, or during scheduled services
(see “Scheduled Maintenance Service”
in this section) it is necessary to check
the engine oil level.
The vehicle should be parked on level
ground to improve the accuracy of the
oil level readings.
CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil, other
than leak detection dyes. Engine oil
is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.

unapproved refrigerants or
lubricants can cause the system to
fail, requiring costly repairs.
• The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid risk of personal injury or
damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be
done by an experienced technician. Periodically remove any leaves and
insects
that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in “Open and Close the
Hood” in section “Before Starting”.
A/C Air Filter Replacement This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided
that windows and doors are perfectly
closed.
Have your filter replaced at least once
a year at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer , preferably at the beginning of
the summer period.
If the vehicle is mainly used in the city
traffic, on highways or dusty roads, we
recommend that you replace the
filters more frequently than prescribed
in the "Scheduled Service Plan" of this
section.
CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
conditioning and heating system
efficiency. WARNING!

Interior Maintenance and
Care Interior trim should be cleaned
starting with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.
The leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt
can act as an abrasive and damage the
leather upholstery and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth.
Stubborn soils stains can be removed
easily with a soft cloth and
appropriate products. Avoid soaking
the leather upholstery with any liquid.
Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery.
Application of a leather conditioner is
not required to maintain the original
condition.
Check at regular intervals that there is
no water trapped under the mats (due
to drips off shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which may cause the metal parts to
oxidize.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents
to clean the instrument cluster's transparent dome, the MTC+ display,
the analog clock and the leather
upholstery. We recommended the use
of “Car Care” products approved by
Maserati for the maintenance and care
of the interior.
Leather Upholstery Treatment Have the leather upholstery only
treated, as provided in the Scheduled
Service Plan, by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer which has the
required specific products.
Parts in Premium Quality Wood Remove any dirt with a buckskin
leather or damp cloth.
