2019 MASERATI GHIBLI instrument cluster

To Reconnect the Battery NOTE:
When the battery cables have been
disconnected and the trunk lid has
been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release lever in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release fold
one of the rear seatbacks (see “Cargo
Area” chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
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 the
Key fob RKE Transmitter.
• Close manually the boot lid, unlock it
with the key fob RKE transmitter and
then lock it manually one more time. If the vehicle is equipped with Power
Boot Lid/Hand Free, manually
perform the complete closure. Then
move the lid automatically, using the
buttons on the lid itself, 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 “Dashboard Instruments
and Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position. CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is reconnected
the warning light
flash for about
10 seconds and then go off.

Bulb Replacement The signal failure of an external light
(turn signal, low beam and high beam,
number plate light, reverse light and
brake light) is communicated to the
instrument cluster that displays on the
TFT screen in a graphical form and
with a text message which light is
faulty (see example in the figure).
Front Headlights The lights are arranged as follows:
Bi-Xenon Version
1 Low-beam/high-beam light:
Bi-Xenon bulb 25W.
2 Position and DRL light LED.
3 Direction indicator LED.
4 Side-marker LED.
5 Side reflex-reflector. CAUTION!
Due to the complexity of the
operation, for the replacement of the
headlight clusters light bulbs, we
recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
The Bi-Xenon bulbare a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the
ignition switch off. Because of this,
you should not attempt to replace a
Bi-Xenon bulb yourself, but take the
vehicle to an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for service. Full-LED Version

External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the bodywork.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility
of originating corrosive processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept clear
and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to
avoid damaging it. Glass Surfaces
All
glass surfaces
should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
When cleaning is performed, keep all
metal objects at a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the
Light Clusters
With cold or humid climates, after a
driving rain or after cleaning the car,
the surface of the front and rear light
clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity differences
between the lens internal and external
surface, which nevertheless does not
indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappears when switching on the
lights, starting from the centre of the
diffuser and gradually going to the
edges.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not useMaintenance and Care

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
