ESP MASERATI QUATTROPORTE 2019 Manual Online

CAUTION!
• Maserati strongly recommends the
use of Premium unleaded fuel ONLY.
Use of lesser grade fuel (other than
Premium) will lead to reduced
engine performance, and poor fuel
economy and can lead to the
Malfunction Indicator Light
illuminating on the instrument
cluster. Continued use of lesser grade
fuel (other than Premium fuel) can
lead to engine misfire problems and
possible catalytic converter damage.
• The anti-pollution devices of the
vehicle require unleaded fuel to be
used at all times. Under no
circumstance, not even in an
emergency, should leaded fuel be
supplied to the fuel tank, not even a
minimum quantity. This would
irreparably damage the catalytic
converters. An inefficient catalytic
converter results in noxious exhaust
emissions which damage the
environment.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the
use of cleaner burning gasoline,
referred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline
contains oxygenates and are
specifically blended to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality.
Maserati supports the use of
reformulated gasoline. Properly
blended reformulated gasoline will
provide excellent performance and
durability of engine and fuel system
components.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded
gasoline with oxygenates such as
Ethanol. Fuels blended with
oxygenates may be used in your
vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use gasoline containing
Methanol or gasoline containing more
than 10% Ethanol. Use of these blends
may result in starting and driveability
problems, damage critical fuel system
components, cause emissions to
exceed the applicable standard, and/or
cause the Malfunction Indicator Light
to illuminate (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”. Pump
labels should clearly communicate if a
fuel contains greater than 10% Ethanol.
Problems that result from using
gasoline
containing Methanol or
gasoline containing more than 10%
Ethanol are not the responsibility of
Maserati and may not be covered
under warranty.
MMT in Gasoline MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl
Manganese Tricarbonyl) is a
manganese containing metallic
additive that is blended into some
gasoline to increase octane.
Gasoline blended with MMT provides
no performance advantage beyond
gasoline of the same octane number
without MMT.
Maserati recommends gasoline
without MMT to be used in your
vehicle. The MMT content of gasoline
may not be indicated on the gasoline
pump; therefore, you should ask the
gasoline station operator whether or
not the gasoline contains MMT.
It is even more important to look for
gasoline without MMT in Canada,
because MMT can be used at levels
higher than those allowed in the
United States. MMT is prohibited in
Federal and California reformulated
gasoline.Driving

Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is
required to contain effective
detergent additives. Use of additional
detergents or other additives is not
needed under normal conditions and
they would result in additional cost.
Therefore, you should not have to add
anything to the fuel.
Fuel System Warnings WARNING!
Follow these guidelines to maintain
your vehicle's performance:
• The use of leaded gasoline is
prohibited by Federal and Provincial
law. Using leaded gasoline can
impair engine performance and
damage the emissions control
system.
• The use of fuel additives, which are
now being sold as octane enhancers,
is not recommended. Most of these
products contain high concentrations
of methanol. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels
or additives is not the responsibility
of Maserati. NOTE:
Intentional
tampering with the
emissions control system can result in
civil penalties civil penalties and could
void the vehicle warranty.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust
gases is deadly. Follow the precautions
below to prevent carbon monoxide
poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas, which can kill.
Never run the engine in a closed
area, such as a garage, and never sit
in a parked vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period. If
the vehicle is stopped in an open
area with the engine running for
more than a short period, adjust the
ventilation system to force fresh,
outside air into the vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide
with proper maintenance. Have the
exhaust system inspected every time
the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.
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

Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to
have the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers,
etc.) is obstructing the pedals
movement; • carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent them
from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any
case, it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below. • Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention.
• Reduce your speed, especially on
roads with no streetlights.
• Stop at early signs of drowsiness.
Continuing to drive would be a risk
for yourself and for others. Have a
rest before continuing your trip.
• Keep the vehicle at a greater
distance from vehicles in front of
you than you would during the day:
it is difficult to assess the speed of
other vehicles when you only see the
lights.
• Use the high beams only outside of
densely-populated areas and when
you are sure that they will not
disturb other drivers.
• When another vehicle is
approaching, switch from high
beams (if on) to low beams.
• Keep lights and headlights clean.
• Outside of densely-populated areas,
beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On
a wet road all maneuvers are more
difficult since wheel grip on the road
is significantly reduced. This means
that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.Driving

Hazard Warning Flashers The hazard warning flashers switch is
located in the central console in front
of the transmission lever.
Press the switch to turn on the hazard
warning flashers to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. When these
lights illuminate, the turn signals, the
related warning lights on the
instrument cluster and the button
start flashing.
Press the switch a second time to turn
off the hazard warning flashers.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the hazard warning
flashers will continue to operate even though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
CAUTION!
• When the hazard warning flashers
are activated, the turn signals
control is disabled.
• With extended use the hazard
warning flashers may wear down
your battery.
In the Event of an
Accident It is important always to keep calm.
• If not directly involved, stop at a safe
distance of at least ten yards
(meters) away from the accident
area.
• If on a highway, stop without
obstructing the emergency lane and
be especially careful if you need to
exit the vehicle.
• Turn off the engine and switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
• At night, illuminate the accident
area with the headlights.
• Always act with caution to avoid the
risk of being crashed into by other
drivers.
• Indicate that an accident has
occurred by placing the emergency
triangle (if equipped) in a well
visible position and at the prescribed
distance.
• Call the emergency services,
providing as much information as
possible. On the highway, use the
special call boxes.
• Remove the ignition key (if present)
from the vehicles involved.In an Emergency

Scheduled Maintenance
Service Correct maintenance is clearly the best
way to guarantee vehicle performance
and safety features, ensure respect for
the environment and low operating
costs.
NOTE:
Also remember that the observance of
the maintenance procedures is
essential for keeping your vehicle
operating properly. Not adhering to
the “Scheduled Service Plan” can
impact your vehicle’s warranty.
Interval Running Coupons Maserati has therefore provided for a
series of checks and maintenance
operations involving the 1 st
service
when the vehicle mileage reaches
12,500 mi (20,000 km) or after 1 year
of the vehicle's life, and subsequently
every 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or every
year.
After the 6 th
service, maintenance
must be restarted with the operations
scheduled for the 1 st
,2 nd
and 3 rd
service. CAUTION!
The Scheduled Maintenance services
are prescribed by the Manufacturer.
Failure to have the services carried out
can affect your warranty.
The Scheduled Maintenance service is
provided
by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer . In the event that, when a
service is performed, further
replacements or repairs are found to
be necessary in addition to the
scheduled operations, these can be
carried out only with the specific
consent of the Customer.
CAUTION!
You are advised to notify the
Authorized Maserati Dealer of any
minor operating problem, without
waiting for the next scheduled service.
NOTE:
• Change
your vehicle's oil if it has
been 1 year since your last oil
change.
• Change your engine oil more often if
you drive your vehicle off-road for an
extended period of time or short
trips without reaching operating
temperature. • Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed 12,500 mi
(20,000 km) or at least after 1 year.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in
damage to the vehicle.
Scheduled Maintenance
(Service) Indicator The service indicator system will
remind you the deadline for the
maintenance program.
The indicator light
on the
instrument cluster flashes for approx. 5
seconds displaying the message backed
by a beeping sound, indicating that
the next scheduled maintenance is due
or has already overdue (see paragraph
”TFT Display: Warning/Indicator Lights
of the Set Modes/ Functions” in
chapter “Instrument Cluster” of
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for more details).Maintenance and Care

Level Checks ENVIRONMENTAL!
• The engine oils and fluids used
contain substances that are
dangerous to the environment. For
replacement you are advised to
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer, where all the necessary
equipment is available to dispose of
the used oil and fluids in compliance
with the regulations in force and in
an environment-friendly manner.
• All equipment used for fluids
replacement (gloves, cloths,
containers, etc) must be disposed of
in compliance with the regulations
in force.
Engine Coolant Level Check
Your vehicle has been equipped with
an improved engine coolant
(antifreeze) that offers high
protection against corrosion, freezing
and allows extended maintenance
intervals. To prevent reducing
extended maintenance periods, it is
important to use original engine
coolant (antifreeze) when adding
coolant throughout the life of your
vehicle. When adding engine coolant
(antifreeze) use pure water only, such
as distilled or deionized water when
mixing the water/engine coolant
(antifreeze) solution. The use of
impure water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the engine
cooling system.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50%
engine coolant (antifreeze) and
distilled water. Use higher
concentrations (do not exceed 70%)
if temperatures below −35°F (−37°C)
are forecast.
Please note that it is the owner's
responsibility to maintain the proper
level of protection against freezing
according to the temperatures
occurring in the circulation area of the
vehicle.
The coolant bottle provides a quick
visual method to determine that the
coolant level is adequate. As long as
the engine operating temperature is
satisfactory, the coolant bottle only
needs to be checked once a month.
With the engine off and cold, the level
of the coolant in the bottle on the left
side of the engine compartment
should be between the ranges
indicated on the bottle and inside the
filler neck. • When additional engine coolant
(antifreeze) is needed to maintain
the proper level, it should be added
to the coolant bottle after removing
the cap. Do not overfill.
• Once the desired level is reached,
reassemble and firmly close cap of
the bottle.
• If frequent engine coolant
(antifreeze) additions are required,
or if the level in the coolant recoveryMaintenance and Care

WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and
compressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air
conditioning system. Some
unapproved refrigerants are
flammable and can explode, causing
injuries. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause
the system to fail, requiring costly
repairs.
• The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid risk of personal injury or
damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be done by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
Periodically remove any leaves and
insects
that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in “Hood Operation” in
section “Before Starting”.
Wheels Maintenance Tires Maintenance CAUTION!
To obtain the best performances and
the longest mileage from the tires,
take the following precautions during
the first 310 mi (500 km):
• do not drive at the vehicle’s
maximum speed;
• drive at low speed on curves;
• avoid sudden steering;
• avoid sudden braking;
• avoid sudden acceleration;
• do not drive at high speeds for too
long.
The tires inflation pressure must
correspond
to the prescribed values
(see the chapter “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”) and should be checked
only when the tires have cooled down.
In fact, the pressure increases as the
tire temperature progressively
increases.
Never reduce the pressure if tires are
hot (see “Tires – General Information”
chapter in section “Driving”).Maintenance and Care
