2019 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE check oil

• Return the cap and dipstick to theirposition and wait for a few minutes
to allow the oil to reach the oil pan.
• Check the level again.
After topping up, the
engine oil
level warning light may not go off for
some time while the system is
performing the necessary checks. This
is normal.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be
replaced with a new filter at every oil
change.
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to perform this service.
Automatic Transmission Oil Check
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer for the oil level check.
Power Steering Fluid Level Check
With the vehicle on a level ground
and the engine cold, check the fluid
level of the power steering reservoir.
• To carry out the check, unscrew the cap, clean the dipstick with a dry and
clean cloth.
• Retighten the cap then unscrew it again and check the level: it should
match the “MAX” notch marked on
the dipstick. In hot oil conditions, the level may even exceed the
“MAX” notch.
• If necessary, top up with fluid making sure that it has the same
characteristics as the one already
used in the system (refer to
“Refillings” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
CAUTION!
Make sure that the power steering
fluid does not come in touch with the
engine hot parts as it is flammable.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the air filters replaced.
Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the wipers in
an active position (right multifunction
lever in any position different than
“OFF”) and with the key in the
ignition switch in the MAR (ON)
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life
expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions
are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodically
with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
Maintenance and Care

245

Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the pan (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Blades Replacement
• Move the right multifunction leverinto “OFF” position, (see chapter
“Windshield Wipers and Washers” in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Lift the end of the arm provided with the blade from the windshield.
• Rotate the blade on the arm in order to access the release latch, shown in
the detail of picture.
• Press the release latch to free the blade.
• Turn and slip off the blade from the arm and replace it. • Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
NOTE:
Due to the difficulty of this operation,
we recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for
replacement of the blades.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
trunk lid and hood, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based
grease, to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear.
Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil and grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear
driver door pillar should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and
Spring. Apply a small amount of high
quality lubricant directly into the lock
cylinder.

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 buckskin
leather or 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.
