2019 MASERATI LEVANTE brake fluid

bottle does not drop when the
engine cools, the cooling system
should be tested by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
• Keep the front of the radiator and
the condenser clean.
WARNING!
• Never add engine coolant
(antifreeze) when the engine is hot.
Do not loosen or remove the cap of
the engine coolant bottle to cool a
hot engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not
remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
• When adding coolant do not use a
pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
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 known 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

Brake Fluid Level Check
Check
the fluid level immediately if
the brake system warning light
and the related message turn
on indicating a low level of brake
fluid.
• Remove the brake fluid reservoir
access cover. • Clean the top of the master cylinder
reservoir before removing the cap.
• Add fluid to bring the level up to the
“MAX” mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir. Use only
manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid (see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Once the correct level is reached,
firmly close the cap.
Normal brake pad wear could cause
the fluid level to fall. However, low
fluid level may be caused by a leak
too, and requires accurate checkup of
the braking system.
CAUTION!
The symbol
on the tank cap
identifies the synthetic type of brake
fluid, distinguishing it from the
(Continued)Maintenance and Care

mineral type. Using mineral fluids
damages the special rubber linings of
the brake system irreparably.
WARNING!
• To avoid contamination from foreign
materials or moisture, use only new
brake fluid or fluid that has been in
a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap secured
at all times.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid.
Brake fluid can also damage painted
and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does
not spill over these surfaces.
• Do not allow petroleum based fluid
to contaminate the brake fluid.
Brake seal components could be
damaged.
Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The
reservoir on the
left side of the
engine compartment contains the fluid
to wash the windshield, the window
liftgate and headlights (if equipped).
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.
Depending on the system installed in
the vehicle, the fluid reservoir may
contain nearly 5.3 Quarts (5 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid or
nearly 3.7 Quarts (3.5 liters) of washer
fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck. • 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/headlight 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.Maintenance and Care

Vehicle Stored for Long
Periods If the vehicle is going to be stored for
long periods of time, follow the below
precautions:
• Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly.
• Store the vehicle on a level surface in
a covered, dry and, if possible,
ventilated area.
• Select P (Park) and turn off the
engine.
• 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.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth in
breathable fabric (available from an
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 14.5 psi (1 bar) 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: use a damp cloth.
• 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 filters 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.
In this way, the pneumatic suspension
system will be able to reach theMaintenance and Care
