service interval MASERATI QUATTROPORTE 2019 Owners Manual

It is possible to use the “MIST”
position for a maximum of 3 times
within two minutes, corresponding to
different three blades positions on the
windshield. When completed, bring
the ignition switch in RUN : the arms
will reposition. If necessary move the
multifunction lever to other required
operating positions.
WARNING!
Operate or service the windshield
wiper blades without deactivating the
wipers (“OFF” position), leaving the
ignition switch in RUN can be
dangerous for the operator since the
rain sensor may suddenly activate the
wipers. Always use “Service” position
for any intervention on the
windshield wiper blades. Windshield Washers To use the washer on the windshield,
push the end of the multifunction
lever inward (toward the steering
column) and hold it as long as washer
spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected
intermittent interval.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off (“OFF”
position) the wipers will operate for
three wipe cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!
• Do not start the windshield washer during the cold months until the
windshield has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.
• Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden
icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster
before and during windshield
washer use.
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

System is Faulty
The BSA system cannot properly
operate due to a fault of its
components, or because the area on
the rear bumper fascia where the
radar sensors are located is dirty. In
these cases the amber warning light
and the related message will be
displayed on the instrument cluster.
In these cases do not use the system
and have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com. Active Blind Spot Assist -
ABSA (optional, with ACC
only) ABSA system is only available on
vehicles equipped with ACC system
and represents an addition to the BSA
previously described (see chapter
"Blind Spot Assist - BSA" of this
section).
ABSA adds to the BSA the possibility in
certain circumstances to avoid and or
mitigate side collisions with vehicles
proceeding in the adjacent lanes by
changing the car's direction in order
to try to keep it inside the
detected/estimated lane. A steering
wheel vibration is used as further
feedback to warn the driver that the
lane change is not safe.
The main logic core is the front radar,
whereas the sense inputs are the
radars on the rear bumper fascia used
for sensing the presence of vehicle in
the blind spot areas and the forward
facing camera placed behind the
internal rear-view mirror that instead
is used for lane detection and
estimation.
ABSA is designed to help the driver to
avoid mitigate a collision. Torque and
vibration application is however available in the 37 - 112 mph (60 -
180 km/h) speed interval. All the speed
thresholds related to the BSA remain
still valid, since ABSA as mentioned is
BSA extension.
ABSA is intended as a “hands-on”
function meaning that the driver is
required to stay engaged in the
driving all the time with his/her hands
on the steering wheel, in case hands
are not on the steering wheel for a
certain time there cannot be any
steering torque application vibration
included.
System Availability ABSA is designed for an attentive
driver therefore the system is available
only when his/her hands are on the
steering wheel or with hands off for a
very limited amount of time. When
the system is enabled, it will trigger
cluster warning in case at least one
hand is not detected on the steering
wheel.
The torque application as well as the
vibration are suppressed/inhibited in
case of: high driver torque in the
steering wheel, high lateral
acceleration, hands not on the
steering wheel detected for more than
a certain time.Driving

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

328

The service indicator and message will
illuminate approximately from 620 mi
(1000 km) or 30 days to the next
scheduled maintenance.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
The service indicator will not monitor
the time elapsed from the last
scheduled maintenance. An Authorized Maserati Dealer will
reset the service indicator message
after completing the scheduled
maintenance operations.
Scheduled Service Plan The Scheduled Maintenance services
listed in this manual must be done at
the times or mileages specified to
protect your vehicle warranty and
ensure the best vehicle performance
and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles in operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and
very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be
done anytime a malfunction is
suspected.
Maserati recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed
at an Authorized Maserati Dealer . The
technicians at your dealership know
your vehicle best, and have access to
factory-approved information,
genuine Maserati parts, and specially
designed electronic and mechanical
tools that can help prevent future
costly repairs.Maintenance and Care

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 solvents
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.
