CAUTION!
• When the key on the key in the
ignition switch is in theMAR (ON)
position and if the indicator light
does not switch on or if it switches
on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealeras soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.
Parking Lights Indicator
With the key removed from
the ignition switch, it indicates
that the parking lights are on.
Transmission Failure Warning Light (*)
Depending on the message
displayed it signals:
• a transmission failure. If the
failure permits, slowly drive
to the nearestAuthorized
Maserati Dealer;• a too high temperature of the
transmission oil. In this case, slow
down until the temperature goes
down to the normal values for use
(the warning light goes off).
For further information see chapter
“Automatic Transmission” in section
“Driving”.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the
transmission temperature warning
light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or failure.
WARNING!
If the transmission temperature
warning light is illuminated and you
continue operating the vehicle, in
some circumstances you could cause
the fluid to boil over, come in contact
with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
High Beam Indicator
This indicator lights up when
the high beams are switched
on or when blinking.Low Oil Pressure Warning Light (*)
Under normal conditions, the
warning light illuminates
when the key in the ignition
switch is turned toMAR (ON)
position and goes off as soon as the
engine is started.
If the warning light stays or turns on
while driving, the engine oil pressure is
too low. The warning light is combined
with a displayed message. In this case,
turn the engine off immediately and
carry out the necessary checks.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
problem has been solved. This light
does not indicate the oil level. The
engine oil level must be checked with
the dipstick located under the hood
(see “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Headlight On Indicator
This indicator will illuminate
when the position lights or
headlights are turned on.

you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
• check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (trunks - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter.
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 outyourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, originalMaserati
spare parts (or equivalent) and the
prescribed fluids. Shall this not be the
case, do not carry any operation on
your own and contact anAuthorized
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 Dealerfor 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
theAuthorized Maserati Dealeris
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.

• Return the cap and dipstick to their
position and wait for a few minutes
to allow the oil to reach the oil pan.
• Check the level again.
After topping up, the
engine oil
level warning light may not go off for
some time while the system is
performing the necessary checks. This
is normal.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be
replaced with a new filter at every oil
change.
Contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerto perform this service.
Automatic Transmission Oil Check
Contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerfor the oil level check.
Power Steering Fluid Level Check
With the vehicle on a level ground
and the engine cold, check the fluid
level of the power steering reservoir.
• To carry out the check, unscrew the
cap, clean the dipstick with a dry and
clean cloth.
• Retighten the cap then unscrew it
again and check the level: it should
match the “MAX” notch marked on
the dipstick. In hot oil conditions,the level may even exceed the
“MAX” notch.
• If necessary, top up with fluid
making sure that it has the same
characteristics as the one already
used in the system (refer to
“Refillings” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
CAUTION!
Make sure that the power steering
fluid does not come in touch with the
engine hot parts as it is flammable.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerto have the air filters replaced.
Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the wipers in
an active position (right multifunction
lever in any position different than
“OFF”) and with the key in the
ignition switch in the MAR (ON)
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions
are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodically
with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
