warning MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

short daily trips (approximately 10
miles/16 km) which correspond to an
annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km.
Please note that allowing the battery
to go dead repeatedly can cause
premature wear on the internal cells
and greatly reduce their life, leading
to problems with the ignition system
and other electrical/electronic systems.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to advise you on how to
recharge your battery correctly and
give you useful information on battery
care and maintenance.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Battery
Charger and Conditioner”, available in
the “Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times:
• always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilated environment;
• never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen;
• ensure that any sparks or open
flames are nowhere near 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.Maintenance and Care

Wheels NOTE:
• Maserati recommends Maserati Genuine Tires marked with “MGT” logo specifically designed for its models.
• In order to maintain high performance and safety level, Maserati recommends to use tires equivalent to the original
size.
• Optionally tires may have "ZR" in the size description combined with speed index (e.g. 265/45 ZR20 104Y).
• In case of staggered tires, front and rear rims cannot be swapped.
• Only 19” rear tires can be equipped with special chain with front anchorage. Snow chains cannot be used (all tires).
WARNING!
• The maximum speed reachable with the tires is indicated by the tire manufacturer. Always comply with the regulations
in force in the Country you are driving in.
• Never exceed the maximum speed indicated for the tires: failure to respect the max. speed may damage these tires.
Danger: risk of accident!

Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure value under the following loading conditions listed in the table below:
• PLC (Partial Loading Condition): considering 2 passengers + luggage.
• FLC (Full Loading Condition): considering 4 or 5 passengers + luggage.
• CC (Comfort Condition) : not more than 80 mph (130 km/h).
NOTE:
• For more information about the pressure check methods, see “Tires – General Information” in section “Driving”.
• Tire inflation pressure values are also indicated on the information label applied to the driver's side rear door pillar.
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire overheating and failure.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes can cause damage that results
in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.Features and Specifications
