In the Event of an
Accident
It is important always to keep calm.
• If not directly involved, stop at a safedistance of at least 10 yards away
from the accident area.
• If on a highway, stop without obstructing the emergency lane and
be especially careful if you need to
exit the vehicle.
• Turn off the engine and switch on the hazard warning flashers.
• At night, illuminate the accident area with the headlights.
• Always act with caution to avoid the risk of being crashed into by other
drivers.
• Indicate that an accident has occurred by placing the emergency
triangle (if equipped) in a well
visible position and at the prescribed
distance.
• Call the emergency services, providing as much information as
possible. On the highway, use the
special call boxes.
• Remove the ignition key (if present) from the vehicles involved.
• If fuel or other chemical products can be smelled, do not smoke and ask people around you to put their
cigarettes out.
• To extinguish fires, even small ones, use a fire extinguisher, blankets,
sand or earth. Never use water.
• In multiple accidents occurred on highways, particularly where
visibility is poor, there is a high risk
of being involved in other collisions.
Leave the vehicle immediately and
move away from the area.
In case of Injured Persons
• Never leave the injured personalone. Persons not directly involved
in the accident are also required to
give assistance.
• Do not crowd around injured persons.
• Reassure the injured person that help is on the way.

Emergency Starting with
Maserati Code
If the Maserati CODE fails to
deactivate the engine immobilizer, the
CODE warning light will illuminate
permanently, while the
MIL
warning light will go off after four
seconds and will turn on again
immediately afterward: the engine will
not start.
To start the engine, follow the
emergency starting procedure.
Emergency Starting Procedure
NOTE:
We recommend that you carefully read
the entire procedure before
performing it. If you make a mistake,
turn the key in the ignition switch to
STOP (OFF) position and repeat the
operations from the first step.

• Read the 5-digit electronic code found
on the CODE card.
• Turn the key in the ignition switch to MAR (ON) position: at this moment
the
CODE andMIL warning
lights are on.
• Push and hold down the accelerator pedal. Approximately 8 seconds later,
the
MIL warning light will go off.
Release the accelerator and get
ready to count the number of times
the
MIL warning light flashes.
• Wait until the number of flashes is equal to the first digit of your CODE
card, then push and hold down the
accelerator pedal until the
MIL
warning light goes off, after about 4
seconds, then release the accelerator
pedal. • The
MIL warning light starts
flashing again. As soon as the
displayed number of flashing is equal
to the second digit of your CODE
card, press down the accelerator
pedal and hold it.
• Proceed in the same manner for the remaining digits in the code on the
CODE card.
• When the last digit has been entered, hold the accelerator pedal
pushed down. The
MIL warning
light comes on for 4 seconds and
then goes off; you can now release
the accelerator pedal.
• When the
MIL warning light
flashes fast (for about 4 seconds) it
confirms that the procedure has
been performed correctly.
• Start the engine by turning the key in the ignition switch from MAR (ON)
position to AVVposition.
If the
MIL warning light remains
on, turn the key to STOP (OFF)position
and repeat the procedure from the
first step. This procedure can be
repeated an unlimited number of
times.

temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long distances at low speeds or long

Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The reservoir on the left side of the
engine compartment contains the
fluid to wash the windshield and
headlights.
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer
fluid appears together with the
related telltale add more fluid as
soon as possible.
The fluid reservoir may contain nearly
1.58 US gallons (6 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the engine compartment and lift the
filler neck extension.
• Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (refer to “Refillings”
in section "Features and
Specifications") and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out
the residual water.
• When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield washer system in cold
weather, select a solution or mixture
that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate.
This rating information can be found
on most washer fluid containers.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the “Maserati recommended
Windshield Washer Fluid” with
antifreeze, available in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
• Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable.
They could ignite and burn you.
Care must be exercised when filling
or when working around the
windshield/headlight washer
system. •
Do not drive with the windshield/
headlight washer reservoir empty:
the action of the washer is essential
for improving visibility when
driving.

Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids and
flaps are properly closed. All interior
lights should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing (this can happen even at
14°F/-10°C).
We recommend you to have the
battery
charge condition checked,
preferably at the beginning of the
cold season, to prevent the electrolyte
from freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This applies above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times.
• Before using a charger device
always check that this tool is
suitable for the installed battery,
with constant voltage (lower than
14.8 V) and low amperage
(maximum limit 15 A).
• Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
• Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery: it can explode due to
hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals.
• Ensure that any sparks or open

Bulb Replacement
The signal failure of an external light
(turn signal, low beam and high beam,
license plate light, reverse light, brake
light and rear fog light) is
communicated to the instrument
cluster that displays on the TFT screen
the
oramber warning light
and a text message indicating which
light is faulty.
Front Headlights
The light bulbs of the headlight
clusters are arranged as follows:
1 Bi-Xenon low-beam/high-beam
bulb.
2 Position light and DRL (*) LED.
3 Turn signal light bulb.
4 FTP bulb, headlight flashing.
5 Side marker bulb.
(*) On vehicles for the Canadian
market DRL are always enabled.
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 headlamps are a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch and the ignition
switch off. Because of this, you should
not attempt to replace a headlamp
bulb yourself, but take the vehicle to
an Authorized Maserati Dealer for
service.
Tail-Light Clusters Light Bulbs
The taillight bulbs are arranged as
follows:
1 Position light guide LED.
2 Stop light LED.
3 Turn signal LED.
4 Reverse light bulb.
5 Rear fog light bulb.
Tail-Light Clusters Bulbs
Replacement
Most of the lamps of the taillight are
LED powered and cannot be replaced
individually. The only exceptions are
the reverse and the rear fog light
bulbs for which you find below the
replacement procedure.
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to locate the correct parts and
replace them.
