Vehicle Stored for Long
Periods
If the vehicle is going to be stored for
over a month, follow the below
precautions:
• Wash and dry the vehiclethoroughly.
• Store the vehicle in a covered, dry and, if possible, ventilated area.
• Select P (Park) and turn off the engine.
• Turn the key in the ignition switch in STOP (OFF) position.
• Disconnect the battery (refer “Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) or connect a battery charger
(refer to paragraph “Maintaining
Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery
Statement” in this section).
• Check the battery charge status. During parking, this check must be
carried out every three weeks.
Recharge the battery if the open
circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
• Check that the parking brake is NOT engaged.
• Do not empty the engine cooling system.
• Clean and protect the painted parts applying protective wax. • Clean and protect polished metal
parts with special products available
on the market.
• Talc the windshield wiper blades and raise them from the windshield.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth in breathable fabric (available from
the Authorized Maserati Dealer ). Do
not use thick plastic sheets, which do
not allow the humidity on the
vehicle surface to evaporate.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure which must be 1 bar (14.5 psi) higher
than the normally prescribed one,
and check it at regular intervals.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available “Indoor and
Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought
back to the prescribed value before
reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
Restarting the Vehicle
Before restarting the vehicle after a
long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface of the vehicle.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filter and have them replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking the charge status (refer to
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) and perform the initializing
procedure if applicable.
• With the transmission in N (Neutral), let the engine idle for several
minutes.

NOTE:
In order to maintain high performance
and safety level, Maserati
recommends to use tires equivalent to
the original size.
WARNING!
• The maximum speed reachable with
the tires (including winter tires) is
indicated by the tire manufacturer.
Always comply with the regulations
in force in the Country you are
driving in.
• Never exceed the maximum speed
indicated for the tires (including
winter tires): failure to respect the
max. speed may damage these tires.
Danger: risk of accident!

Tire Inflation Pressure
TirePressure
Front and rear 220 kPa - 2,2 bar -32psi
Spare wheel
(optional) 350 kPa - 3,5 bar
-51psi
NOTE:
• For more information about the
pressure check methods, see “Tires –
General Information” in section
“Driving”.
• The tire inflation pressure value are
also indicated on the driver's side at
the base of the rear door pillar.
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are
dangerous and can cause collisions.
• 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 result 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. You could lose
control of your vehicle.
• 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.
