Instrument Cluster The instrument cluster is divided into
three main areas displaying
information, signs and text and/or icon
messages.
A Analogue speedometer. It
indicates the vehicle speed.
B Rev Counter.
C TFT display. In this area the
odometer display shows the
total distance covered by the
vehicle.
U.S. Federal Regulations requires that
upon transfer of vehicle ownership,
the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has
been driven.
If your odometer needs to be repaired
or serviced, the repair technician
should leave the odometer reading the
same as it was before the repair or
service. This repair should be
performed by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
The odometer setting should be
maintained following the repair or
service.
Keep a record of the odometer
mileage before any repair or service to ensure that the odometer is properly
reset.

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
temperatures. • 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.Maintenance and Care

318
When the scheduled maintenance has
overdue, the indicator light
and
message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
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.
To check the km/mi and the days that
remain at the inspiration of the next
scheduled maintenance, consult the
“Maintenance” submenu of “VEHICLE
INFO” main menu (see paragraph ”TFT
Dispaly : Warning/Indicator Lights of
the Set Modes/ Functions” in chapter “Instrument Cluster” of section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for more details).
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

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”). Insufficient tire inflating pressure can
cause tire overheating and possible
internal damage.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage it.
Impacts with curbs, holes, and
obstacles
in the road, and prolonged
trips on rough roads can cause tire
damage which may not be visible to
the naked eye.
Check your tires regularly for any signs
of damage (e.g. scratches, cuts, cracks,
bulges, etc.). If sharp objects penetrate
the tires, they can cause structural
damage which is only visible when the
tire is removed.
In any case, any possible damage must
be inspected by an experienced
technician, as it may seriously reduce
the tire life.
Remember that tires deteriorate with
time, even if used little or not at all.
Cracks in the tire tread and sides,
alongside possible bulging, are a sign
of deterioration. WARNING!
• Check the inflating pressure of the
tires when cold, at least every two
weeks and before long trips.
• Have old tires inspected by an
experienced technician, to make
sure they can still be used safely. If
the same tire has been on your
vehicle for 4 or 5 years, have it
inspected anyway by an
experienced technician.
• Never fit tires of uncertain origin.
• “Directional” tires have an arrow on
their side showing the rolling
direction. To keep the best
performance when replacing a tire,
make sure that the rolling direction
corresponds to the one shown by
the arrow.
• During the tire life, the rolling
direction used for the first fitting
should always be observed, also in
case of “nondirectional” tires.
• Check the depth of the tire tread at
regular intervals. The thinner is the
tread, the greater is the risk of
skidding.
• Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.Maintenance and Care
