2019 MASERATI LEVANTE service schedule

may then indicate that the system is
now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's
OBD II system is ready or not, if the
MIL
is illuminated during normal
vehicle operation you should have
your vehicle serviced before going to
the I/M station. The I/M station can fail
your vehicle because the MIL
is on
with the engine running.
Spare Parts Use of genuine Maserati 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. Dealer Service An Authorized Maserati Dealer has the
qualified service personnel, special
tools, and equipment to perform all
service operations in an expert
manner. Service Manuals are available
which include detailed service
information for your vehicle. Refer to
these Service Manuals before
attempting any procedure yourself.
Intentional tampering with emissions
control systems may void your
warranty and could result in civil
penalties.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on
or around a motor vehicle. Take your
vehicle to an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.

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

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
“Hood Operation” in section “Before
Starting”).
The following images show the
position of the 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 the specified fluid for the
flushing procedure. 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

NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the Maserati recommended
“Windshield Washer Fluid” with
antifreeze, available in the “Genuine
Accessories” catalog.
WARNING!
• Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable.
They could ignite and burn you.
Care must be exercised when filling
or when working around the
windshield/headlight washer
system.
• Do not drive with the windshield/
headlight washer reservoir empty:
the action of the washer is essential
for improving visibility when
driving.

Engine Oil Level Check
T
o assure proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the
warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled
services (see “Scheduled Maintenance
Service” in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings. CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
• Remove the inspection cover on the
right
engine bank (3.8
V8 Engines, in
picture GTS Version).
• Remove the dipstick and clean it
with a dry and clean cloth. 3.8 V8 EnginesMaintenance and Care

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

MTC+ Touch Screen • Do NOT attach any object to the
touch screen, doing so can result in
damage to the touch screen.
• Do not touch the screen with any
hard or sharp objects (pen, USB stick,
jewelry, etc.) which could scratch the
touch screen surface.
• Do not spray any liquid or caustic
chemicals directly on the screen! Use
a clean and dry micro fiber lens
cleaning cloth in order to clean the
touch screen. If necessary, use a
lint-free cloth dampened with a
cleaning solution, such as isopropyl
alcohol, or an isopropyl alcohol and
water solution ratio of 50:50. Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s
precautions and directions.
