recommended oil MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE 2019 Owners Manual

Use of the Engine
Breaking-In
Today's most modern production
methods are designed to provide
extremely precise construction and
assembly of components. However,
moving parts do undergo a settling
process, basically in the first hours of
vehicle operation.
Do not drive keeping at a constant
high speed rate for a prolonged time.
While cruising, brief full-throttle
acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle
operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality
grades, see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand
kilometers of operation. This should
be considered as a normal part of thebreak-in and not interpreted as an
indication of malfunction.
Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first
620 trip mi (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not
exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has
warmed up sufficiently (coolant
temperature: 149-158°F/65-70°C).
While Driving
Never travel with the tachometer
indicator approaching the peak rpm,
not even downhill. When the
tachometer indicator is approaching
the peak rpm (red colored zone), take
precautions to avoid exceeding that
limit.
Ensure proper operation of different
devices checking their respective
control telltales.
CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, they indicate a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.
WARNING!
Do not travel downhill with the
engine off, as the servo brake will no
longer function due to the vacuum
decrease and thus after a few braking
attempts, the system becomes totally
inefficient. The power steering will
also lose its efficiency under these
conditions.
Onboard Diagnostic System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,

approximately 44 lb (20 kg) being
placed on the handle of the wrench
supplied when extended for use.
• After refitting the standard wheel,
check the tire pressure.
WARNING!
• The spare wheel is narrower than
standard wheels and must only be
used to travel the distance required
to reach a service station, where the
punctured tire can be repaired or
replaced.
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare wheel; when this
limit is exceeded, the stability, road
holding and braking of the vehicle
will be compromised. Avoid
accelerating to full speed, heavy
braking and fast cornering.
• The compact spare wheel must be
inflated to the recommended tire
pressure (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
• For safety reasons, it is absolutely
forbidden to drive with more than
one compact spare wheel fitted on
the vehicle. •
Snow chains cannot be fitted on the
compact spare wheel.
• The spare wheel can travel a
maximum of 1,800 mi (3.000 km).
NOTE:
The
used wheel may soil the mats if it
is housed in the car: insert the used
wheel in the protective bag housed in
the side pocket of the covering bag.
To Refit the Standard Wheel with
Repaired or Replaced Tire
• Following the procedure and the caution described above, raise the
vehicle and remove the compact
spare wheel reusing the supplied
wrench with adapter, suitably
extended.
• Fit the standard wheel with repaired or replaced tire.
• Tighten the original bolts on the wheel.
• Lower the vehicle and remove the jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately tightening diametrically opposite.
WARNING!
• Observe the tightening torque for
the bolts securing the wheels (72 ±
7 lbf·ft / 98 ± 10 Nm). This is
equivalent to a load of
approximately 44 lb (20 kg) being
placed on the handle of the wrench
supplied when extended for use.
• After refitting the standard wheel,
check the tire pressure.
Once finished:
•
completely deflate the compact
spare wheel by pressing on the valve
with the overhang of the valve cap;
• wrap the power cable and the inflation hose inside the compressor
case;
• place the compressor, the jack, the wrench and the adapter in 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.

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!
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 know to the State of

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.

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.

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
