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
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times:
• always charge or recharge the battery in a well-ventilated
environment;
• never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen;
• ensure that any sparks or open
flames are nowhere near the battery
while it is charging;
• before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly. Maintenance and Care

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 information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
Engine Oil Identification
Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Maserati only
recommends API Certified engine oils.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the chemicals can damage your engine. Damage caused by use of
non-approved chemicals is not covered by the new Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 10W-60 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil
filler cap location, refer to chapter “Maintenance Procedures” in section “Maintenance and Care”.

Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure value under the following loading conditions listed in the table below:
• PLC (Partial Loading Condition): considering 2 passengers + luggage.
• FLC (Full Loading Condition): considering 4 or 5 passengers + luggage.
(*) Speed driving higher than
124 mph (200 km/h)
Load PLC FLC PLC - FLC
Wheel Front and rear Front and rear Front and rear
Pressure 220 kPa – 32 PSI (2.2 bar) 260 kPa – 38 PSI (2.6 bar) 260 kPa – 38 PSI (2.6 bar)
Spare tire pressure 350 kPa – 51 PSI (3.5 bar)
(*) Not for winter and all-season tires.
NOTE:
• The pressure values indicated in the table are also indicated on the driver-side door pillar information label.
• For more information about the pressure check methods, see “Tires – General Information” in section “Driving”.
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire overheating and failure.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes can cause damage that results
in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.Features and Specifications
