Trunk Safety
WARNING!
Do not allow children to have access
to the trunk. Always close the trunk
lid when your vehicle is unattended.
Once in the trunk, young children may
not be able to escape. If trapped in
the trunk, children can die from
suffocation or heat stroke.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release
from inside the Trunk
As a security measure, an internal
trunk emergency release lever is
connected to the trunk latching
mechanism. In the event of a person
trapped inside the trunk, the trunk lid
can be simply opened by pulling on
the phosphorescent handle shown in
figures.
Open and Close the Hood
Opening
From inside the vehicle, pull the hood
release lever located under the left
lower side of the dashboard.
Move to the outside and stand in
front of the vehicle front grille.
Slightly lift the hood and lift the
safety lever as indicated by the arrow.
The safety lever is located in the
center of the front lid contact area.

Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the pan (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Blades Replacement
• Move the right multifunction lever
into “OFF” position, (see chapter
“Windshield Wipers and Washers” in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Lift the end of the arm provided with
the blade from the windshield.
• Rotate the blade on the arm in order
to access the release latch, shown in
the detail of picture.
• Press the release latch to free the
blade.
• Turn and slip off the blade from the
arm and replace it.• Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
NOTE:
Due to the difficulty of this operation,
we recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealerfor
replacement of the blades.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
trunk lid and hood, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based
grease, to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear.
Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil andgrease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear
driver door pillar should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and
Spring. Apply a small amount of high
quality lubricant directly into the lock
cylinder.
