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

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

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

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

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
