alternator MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE 2020 Owners Manual

NOTE:
After an emergency staring, you
should contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealeras the emergency
starting procedure will have to be
carried out every time you want to
start the engine.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:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
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!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is strongly
toxic and potentially lethal.
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
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

Battery Statement
Battery Statement Status of
Charge
To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The
warning light on the
instrument cluster (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”), will
indicate any malfunctions in the
recharge circuit or an insufficient
battery charge status (flashing).
The vehicle is fitted with advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the key in
the ignition switch is in theSTOP (OFF)
position and the vehicle is not being
used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly andthat all the electrical/electronic 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 4000
