Periodically remove any leaves and
insects that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in “Open and Close the
Hood” in section “Before Starting”.
A/C Air Filter Replacement
This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided
that windows and doors are perfectly
closed.
Have your filter replaced at least once
a year at anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer, preferably at the beginning of
the summer period.
If the vehicle is mainly used in the city
traffic, on highways or dusty roads, we
recommend that you replace the
filters more frequently than prescribed
in the "Scheduled Service Plan" of this
section.
CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
conditioning and heating system
efficiency.
WARNING!

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”).

symbol with tape, to prevent it from
being detached by the revolving
brushes.
Glass Surfaces
All
glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instrument that may
scratch the electric elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not use
any other equipment such as
brushes, steel wool, abrasives or any
other equipment for cleaning.
• After cleaning, please rinse the aluminum trim with a lot of clear
water.
• While cleaning in the car, please make sure that the moldings and
aluminum trims only get in contact
with soft brushes or textiles.
Engine Compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully wash the engine
compartment, remembering to avoid directing the jet of water for too long
on the ECUs and other electric parts.
To perform this operation, you must
contact an
Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
