Windshield Washers and
Headlight Washers To use the washer, pull toward the
steering wheel the right-hand
multifunction lever (toward the
steering wheel) and hold it as long as
washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for a few wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected
intermittent interval.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off (OFF)
the wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off. WARNING!
• Do not start the windshield washer
during the cold months until the
windshield has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.
• Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden
icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster
before and during windshield
washer use.

The
right-hand multifunction lever
also operates the headlight washers
when the key in the ignition switch is
in MAR (ON) position and the
headlights are turned on.
The headlight washers will spray a
timed high pressure spray of washer
fluid when the windshield washer is
started.
The headlight washers are deactivated

“--,--” will be displayed in the place of
the values.
NOTE:
•The system will not perform
calibration if the pressure is below 2
bar (29 psi).
• To allow the system to acquire the
sensors’s data, after the startup of
the car, if possible avoid to stop.
During this interval the TFT display
can show screen page with dashes
“--,--” in the place of the pressure
levels of each tire.
• If calibration is not completed within
10 minutes of driving the car, the
instrument cluster shows “TPMS
Malfunction” pop-up message and
“Tire Pressure” screen disappear. The
warning light remains light on.
TPMS Malfunction
Screen page shown in picture may
appear in the following cases:
• malfunction in the ECU
system/wiring;
• no signal reception by one or more sensors due to malfunctioning,
broken or dead battery;
• ECU malfunction. The display procedure follows the
usual logic of malfunctions. Therefore,
after 30 seconds, the display will show
the screen page that was active before
the malfunction occurred.
In addition to screen page being
displayed, the
amber warning
light, which is permanently
illuminated on the instrument cluster,
will flash for 85 seconds, after which it
will remain permanently on until the
situation is corrected. The information
page that shows the pressure value for
each tire cannot be recalled.
Fuel Requirements
The engines are designed to meet all
environmental regulations and
provide excellent fuel economy and
performance when using unleaded
premium gasoline with an AKI octane
rating of 91 or above. AKI (Anti Knock
Index) is an average on the Research
Octane Number, RON, and the Motor
Octane Number, MON (RON + MON/2
gives you the AKI).
For vehicle top performance, use
unleaded premium gasoline with no
less than 93 minimum AKI octane
rating.
Poor quality gasoline can cause
problems such as hard starting,
stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before
considering service for the vehicle at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline
that contain detergents, anti-corrosion
and stability additives are
recommended. Using gasoline that
have these additives may help improve
fuel economy, reduce emissions, and
maintain vehicle performance.

Maintenance Procedures
The following pages contain the
“required” maintenance standards
determined by Maserati engineers.
Besides those maintenance items
specified in the “Scheduled Service
Plan”, there are other components
which may require service or
replacement in the future.
To perform most of the services, it is
necessary to open the hood (see
“Open and Close the Hood” in section
“Before Starting”).
The following images show the
position of all components involved in
the maintenance service.
CAUTION!
• Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or perform repairs and
service when necessary could result
in more costly repairs, damage to
other components or negatively
impact vehicle performance.
Immediately have potential
malfunctions examined by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer or a
qualified repair center.
• Your vehicle has been equipped with improved fluids that protect the
performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended
maintenance intervals. Do not use
chemical flushes for washing as the
chemicals can damage your engine,
transmission, power steering or air
conditioning. Such damages are not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. If a flush is needed
because of component malfunction,
use only a specific product for the
flushing procedure.

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.
