you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditionsand wear;
• check cleanliness of hood and trunk locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (trunks - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter of the A/C system;

CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by the
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original
Maserati
spare parts (or equivalent) and the
prescribed fluids. Shall this not be the
case, do not carry any operation on
your own and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
Onboard Diagnostic System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions suited to current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs. Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer
for service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the
MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
MIL is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
the Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required.
Spare Parts
Use of genuine parts for normal or
scheduled maintenance and repairs is
highly recommended to ensure
excellent performance.
Damage or failures caused by
non-genuine spare parts used for
maintenance and repairs will not be
covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.

• 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.

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.
