between the “MIN” and “MAX”
reference ranges (SAFE range). • If a refilling is necessary: unscrew the
filler neck cap.
• Adding 1.6 Quarter /1.4 Liters (3.8 V8
Engines) or 1 Quart /1 Liter (3.0 V6
Engines) of oil when the level is at
the bottom of the SAFE range will
result in the level being at the top of
the SAFE range.
• 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.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be

Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting
When the windshield wiper arms are
in rest position it is not possible to
check or replace the blades as they
remain under the engine hood.
To service the blades it is necessary to
move the wiper arms in “Service”
position (see chapter “Wipers and
Washers” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle”). In this way it is possible
to lift the arms for cleaning or
replacing the wiper blades.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the windshield
wipers in an active position (any
position different from “OFF”) and
with the ignition switch in the RUN
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers. Always use the “Service” position for any
intervention on the windshield wiper
blades.
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 on the glass,
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/rear
window glasses 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.
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 tank (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement
• Move the wiper arms into “Service”
position, (see chapter “Windshield
Wipers and Washers” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”) and lift
them.
• Press the indicated button, slip off
the blade support from the arm and
replace it.
• Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
• Turn the multifunction lever to one

“Driving”). The thinner is the tread,
the greater is the risk of skidding.
• Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.
Winter Tires
These tires are specially
designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
The specific features of the winter
tires lead to lower performance under
normal environmental conditions or
on long highway trips, compared to
the standard tires.
Therefore, their use should be limited
to the situations and performance for
which they have been type-approved.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide all necessary information
about fitting winter tires on the
vehicle.
NOTE:
• We recommend fitting winter tires
on the vehicle at temperatures
below 45 °F (7°C) since the driving
performance of summer tires is
reduced at low temperatures.
Summer tires may be permanently
damaged at extremely low
temperatures.
• Comply with all state and local laws governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.
Wheel Rims Maintenance All wheel trims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes.
Do not use oven cleaner that may
affect and damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.Bodywork Maintenance
and Care Protection from Atmospheric
Agents The main causes of corrosion are:
• atmospheric pollution;
• salinity and humidity in the
atmosphere (marine areas or a damp
climate);
• seasonal environmental conditions;
• salt scattered on the roadbed to
melt ice and snow.
The abrasive action of wind-carried
atmospheric dust and sand, mud and
stones should not be underestimated.
On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted
the best technological solutions to
protect the bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
• paint products and systems that give
the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
• use of galvanized (or pre-treated)
metal sheets which are highly
resistant to corrosion in the most
exposed parts;
• spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, insides of wheel
housings, and other structures withMaintenance and Care
7

any other equipment such as
brushes, steel wool, abrasives or any
other equipment for cleaning.
• After cleaning, please rinse the
aluminum trim with a lot of clear
water.
• While cleaning in the car, please
make sure that the moldings and
aluminum trims only get in contact
with soft brushes or textiles.
Engine Compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully wash the engine
compartment, remembering to avoid
directing the jet of water for too long
on the electric parts.
To perform this operation, you must
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
Pre-Short Drop Function When in a car wash, if the driver keeps
the RKE Transmitter in his/her pocket,
or in any place outside the vehicle
within 3.3 ft (1 m) distance, the front
windows will perform a pre-short
drop. This is a shorter drop compared
to the normal short drop performed by
the “Passive Entry” function when you
grab the door handle to enter the
vehicle. In order to prevent water from
entering the vehicle between the
upper edge of the glass window and
the door outline on the bodywork,
while the car is being washed, it is
advisable to disable the “Passive
Entry” from the MTC+ System, for
further information refer to chapter
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and controls”.
When deactivating the “Passive Entry”,
also the “Pre-Short Drop” function will
be disabled.
Interior Maintenance and
Care Interior trim should be cleaned
starting with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.
The leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt
can act as an abrasive and damage the
leather upholstery and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth.
Stubborn soils stains can be removed
easily with a soft cloth and
appropriate products. Avoid soaking
the leather upholstery with any liquid.
Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery.
Application of a leather conditioner is
not required to maintain the original
condition.
Check at regular intervals that there is
no water trapped under the mats (due
to drips off shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which may cause the metal parts to
oxidize.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solventsMaintenance and Care

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.
