warning light MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the Maserati recommended
“Windshield Washer Fluid” with
antifreeze, available in the “Genuine
Accessories” catalog.
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.
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 known 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

Engine Oil Level Check
T
o assure proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the
warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled
services (see “Scheduled Maintenance
Service” in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings. CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
• Remove the inspection cover on the
right
engine bank (3.8
V8 Engines, in
picture GTS Version).
• Remove the dipstick and clean it
with a dry and clean cloth. 3.8 V8 EnginesMaintenance and Care

To Reconnect the Battery CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using one
more time the Key fob RKE
Transmitter.
• Close manually the liftgate unlock it
lid with the key fob RKE transmitter
and then lock it manually on more time. If the vehicle is equipped with
power liftgate, manually perform
the complete closure. Then move the
lid automatically, using the buttons
on the outer edge of the left trunk,
performing a complete cycle of
opening and closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and
pressing the “AUTO” control as
described in chapter “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position.
• If the car is equipped with power
sunshades on rear door windows, carry out the teach mode cycle
described on chapter “Power
Sunshades on Rear Door Windows”
in section “Before Starting”.
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is
reconnected the warning light
flash for about 10 seconds and then
go off.

Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, hood, liftgate and flaps
are properly closed. All interior lights
should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing. We recommend you to have the
battery
charge condition checked,
preferably
at the beginning of the cold
season, to prevent the electrolyte from
freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power-absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This applies
above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times.
• Before using a charger device always
check that this tool is suitable for the
installed battery, with constant
voltage (lower than 14.0 V) and low
amperage (maximum limit 15 A). • Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
• Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery.
• Ensure that any sparks or open
flames are kept well away from 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.
It is possible to recharge the battery
without
disconnecting the cables
of
the vehicle electrical system.
• To access the battery lift the ground
coverage of the trunk compartment
(see chapter “Tool Kit” section “In an
Emergency”) and remove the storage
box.
• Remove the protection cover and
connect the terminal clamp of the
charger positive cable (typically in
red) to the positive post (+) of the
battery.
• Connect the terminal clamp of the
charger negative cable (typically in
black) to the nut located by theMaintenance and Care

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle 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, will indicate any
malfunctions in the recharge circuit or
an insufficient battery charge status
(example in figure).
The vehicle contains advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which consume power even when the
ignition switch is in the 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 and
that 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. The
battery charger will keep the battery
charged properly and at the correct
voltage levels required by the systems
and devices in the vehicle.
Before using and/or connecting the
battery charger, carefully follow the
instructions provided.
If you do not use a battery charger 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 performMaintenance and Care
