engine MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

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
Maserati for the maintenance and
care of the interior.
Leather Upholstery Treatment Have the leather upholstery only
treated, as provided in the Scheduled
Service Plan, by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer which has the
required specific products.
Parts in Premium Quality Wood Remove any dirt with a damp cloth.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Car
Care” products, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.
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
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:

MTC+ Touch Screen • Do NOT attach any object to the
touch screen, doing so can result in
damage to the touch screen.
• Do not touch the screen with any
hard or sharp objects (pen, USB stick,
jewelry, etc.) which could scratch the
touch screen surface.
• Do not spray any liquid or caustic
chemicals directly on the screen! Use
a clean and dry micro fiber lens
cleaning cloth in order to clean the
touch screen. If necessary, use a
lint-free cloth dampened with a
cleaning solution, such as isopropyl
alcohol, or an isopropyl alcohol and
water solution ratio of 50:50. Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s
precautions and directions.

Vehicle Stored for Long
Periods If the vehicle is going to be stored for
long periods of time, follow the below
precautions:
• Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly.
• Store the vehicle on a level surface in
a covered, dry and, if possible,
ventilated area.
• Select P (Park) and turn off the
engine.
• Disconnect the battery (refer
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) or connect a battery charger
(refer to paragraph “Maintaining
Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery
Statement” in this section).
• Check the battery charge status.
During parking, this check must be
carried out every three weeks.
Recharge the battery if the open
circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
• Check that the parking brake is NOT
engaged.
• Do not empty the engine cooling
system.
• Clean and protect the painted parts
applying protective wax. • Clean and protect polished metal
parts with special products available
on the market.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth in
breathable fabric (available from an
Authorized Maserati Dealer ). Do not
use thick plastic sheets, which do not
allow the humidity on the vehicle
surface to evaporate.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure
which must be 14.5 psi (1 bar) higher
than the normally prescribed one,
and check it at regular intervals.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available “Indoor and
Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought
back to the prescribed value before
reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).Restarting the Vehicle Before restarting the vehicle after a
long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for
any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface
of the vehicle: use a damp cloth.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid
leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake
system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filters and have them
replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking
the charge status (refer to
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) and perform the initializing
procedure if applicable.
• With the transmission in N (Neutral),
let the engine idle for several
minutes.
In this way, the pneumatic suspension
system will be able to reach theMaintenance and Care

operating pressure and lift the car to
the Entry/Exit height (for further
details, see “Drive Modes” in section
“Driving”).
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

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
