systems in the vehicle work efficiently.
Maintaining Battery Charge
If you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 miles/16 km), which
correspond to an annual total of 4000
miles/6000 km, or when the vehicle is
not going to be used for one week or
more, Maserati recommends
connecting the vehicle to a battery
charger, to save you the trouble of
having to recharge the battery (see
“Battery Charge Maintainer
Operation” in this chapter).
The battery charge maintainer will
keep the battery charged properly and
at the correct voltage levels required
by the systems and devices in the
vehicle.
Before using the battery charge
maintainer, carefully follow the
instructions provided.
If you do not use a battery charge
maintainer to prevent the battery
from going dead when you are not
going to use the vehicle for long
periods of time, you need to check
and recharge the battery at least once
every three weeks. Make this check if
you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 mi/16 km) which
correspond to an annual total of 4000miles/6000 km. Please note that
allowing the battery to go dead
repeatedly can cause premature wear
on the internal cells and greatly
reduce their life, leading to problems
with the ignition system and other
electrical/electronic systems.
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealeris
available to advise you on how to
recharge your battery correctly and
give you useful information on battery
care and maintenance.
NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Battery

WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times:
•always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilated
environment;•never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen: it can explode due
to hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals;
•ensure that any sparks or open
flames are nowhere near the battery
while it is charging;
•before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
