2019 MASERATI GRANTURISMO check oil

Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the pan (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Blades Replacement
• Move the right multifunction lever
into “OFF” position, (see chapter
“Windshield Wipers and Washers” in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Lift the end of the arm provided with
the blade from the windshield.
• Rotate the blade on the arm in order
to access the release latch, shown in
the detail of picture.
• Press the release latch to free the
blade.
• Turn and slip off the blade from the
arm and replace it. • Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
NOTE:
Due to the difficulty of this operation,
we recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for
replacement of the blades.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
trunk lid and hood, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based
grease, to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear.
Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil and grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear
driver door pillar should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and
Spring. Apply a small amount of high
quality lubricant directly into the lock
cylinder.Maintenance and Care

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 .
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.

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. WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is strongly
toxic and potentially lethal.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle Battery Statement Battery Statement Status of
Charge To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The
warning light on the
instrument cluster (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”), will
indicate any malfunctions in the
recharge circuit or an insufficient
battery charge status (flashing).
The vehicle is fitted with advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the key in
the ignition switch is in the STOP (OFF)
position and the vehicle is not being
used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly andMaintenance and Care
