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
7
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

• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
• check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter. CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as
well as engine emissions suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to “Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
driveability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
• If the MIL
is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required.
Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs In some localities, it may be a legal
requirement to pass an inspection of
your vehicle's emissions control system.Maintenance and Care
7
332

Failure to pass could prevent vehicle
registration. For states that require an
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M), this
check verifies the “Malfunction
Indicator Light
” is functioning
and is not on when the engine is
running, and that the OBD II system is
ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be
ready. The OBD II system may not be
ready if your vehicle was recently
serviced, recently had a dead battery
or a battery replacement. If the OBD II
system should be determined not
ready for the I/M test, your vehicle
may fail the test.
To check if your vehicle's OBD II system
is ready, you must do the following: 1. Press the ignition device to the
RUN position, but do not crank or
start the engine.
2. As soon as you press the ignition
device to turn the engine On, you
will see the MIL remain
illuminated for 15 seconds, this is a
normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later,
one of two things will happen:
•
The MIL
will remain
illuminated and a message error
will appear on your instrument
cluster. This means that your
vehicle's OBD II system is not
ready and you should not
proceed to the I/M station.
•
The MIL
will turn Off. This
means that your vehicle's OBD II
system is ready and you can
proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready, you
should see an Authorized Maserati
Dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle
was recently serviced or had a battery
failure or replacement, you may need
to do nothing more than drive your
vehicle as you normally would in order
for your OBD II system to update. A
recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is
now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's
OBD II system is ready or not, if the
MIL
is illuminated during normal
vehicle operation you should have
your vehicle serviced before going to
the I/M station. The I/M station can fail
your vehicle because the MIL
is on
with the engine running.
Spare Parts Use of genuine Maserati parts for
normal or scheduled maintenance and
repairs is highly recommended to
ensure excellent performance.
Damage or failures caused by
non-genuine spare parts used for
maintenance and repairs will not be
covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.
Dealer Service An Authorized Maserati Dealer has
the qualified service personnel, special
tools, and equipment to perform all
service operations in an expert
manner. Service Manuals are available
which include detailed service
information for your vehicle. Refer to
these Service Manuals before
attempting any procedure yourself.Maintenance and Care

Intentional tampering with emissions
control systems may void your
warranty and could result in civil
penalties.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on
or around a motor vehicle. Take your
vehicle to an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
