Level Checks ENVIRONMENTAL!
• The engine oils and fluids used
contain substances that are
dangerous to the environment. For
replacement you are advised to
contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer, where all the necessary
equipment is available to dispose of
the used oil and fluids in compliance
with the regulations in force and in
an environment-friendly manner.
• All equipment used for fluids
replacement (gloves, cloths,
containers, etc) must be disposed of
in compliance with the regulations in
force.
Engine Coolant Level Check
Your vehicle has been equipped with
an improved engine coolant
(antifreeze) that offers high protection
against corrosion, freezing and allows
extended maintenance intervals. To
prevent reducing extended
maintenance periods, it is important to
use original engine coolant
(antifreeze) when adding coolant
throughout the life of your vehicle. When adding engine coolant
(antifreeze) use pure water only, such
as distilled or deionized water when
mixing the water/engine coolant
(antifreeze) solution. The use of
impure water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the engine
cooling system.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50%
engine coolant (antifreeze) and
distilled water. Use higher
concentrations (do not exceed 70%)
if temperatures below −35°F (−37°C)
are forecast.
Please note that it is the owner's
responsibility to maintain the proper
level of protection against freezing
according to the temperatures
occurring in the circulation area of the
vehicle.
The coolant bottle provides a quick
visual method to determine that the
coolant level is adequate. As long as
the engine operating temperature is
satisfactory, the coolant bottle only
needs to be checked once a month.
With the engine off and cold, the level
of the coolant in the bottle on the left
side of the engine compartment
should be between the ranges
indicated on the bottle and inside the
filler neck. • When additional engine coolant
(antifreeze) is needed to maintain
the proper level, it should be added
to the coolant bottle after removing
the cap. Do not overfill.
• Once the desired level is reached,
reassemble and firmly close cap of
the bottle.
• If frequent engine coolant
(antifreeze) additions are required,
or if the level in the coolant recoveryMaintenance and Care

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
information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
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

Fluid Level Check for Coolant
Transmission System
The coolant contained in the bottle of
this system is the same as the one used
for the cooling system of the engine.
For the preparation of the mixture of
water and antifreeze and for the
control of the level, proceed as shown
in the “Engine Coolant Level Check”
of this chapter.
Engine Air Filters Replacement Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the air filters replaced.
A/C Air Filter Replacement This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided
that windows and doors are closed.
The filter is located under the hood in
the external A/C system air inlet, on the passenger side of the vehicle, next
to the windshield wipers.
To replace the filter during the
scheduled maintenance services or
after the vehicle has been heavily used
on dusty roads, proceed as follows:
• Remove the access door in the cowl
screen by pressing the retaining clips
indicated.
• Unsnap both ends and lift the filter
retaining cover. • Remove the used filter slipping it off
from within the air intake.
• Install the new filter with arrows
pointing in the direction of airflow,
which is toward the rear of the
vehicle (text and arrows on the filter
will indicate this).
• Close the filter retaining cover and
reinstall the access door.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
