2019 MASERATI LEVANTE tire type

Trailer Towing In this section you will find safety tips
and information on limits to the type
of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle.
NOTE:
• On the TROFEO version you can not
install the trailer tongue.
• Using original Maserati equipment
offers an advantage, compared to
aftermarket one, in terms of driving
safety and utilizing the vehicle
potential under all conditions,
especially considering that ESC and
AWD systems feature specific
settings for trailer towing. Further to
this, if vehicle use conditions so
allow, the original trailer tongue
allows use of the driver assist systems
present on-board.
• To maintain the new vehicle limited
warranty coverage, follow the
requirements and recommendations
in this chapter. Trailer Tongue Weight Maximum load of tow vehicle is
reduced by the trailer tongue weight
and the load on the same due to the
trailer. Trailer tongue weight increases
vehicle weight.
Do not exceed the maximum GVWR of
the tow vehicle, the one for each axle
(GAWR) and the mass that the vehicle
is rated to tow (GTW) specified on the
nameplate located on the rear of the
drivers door opening.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed
the maximum allowed overall GVWR
and GTW. A dangerous driving
condition can result if either rating is
exceeded.
If you use aftermarket Kit for towing,
the maximum trailer load must not
exceed 6000 lb (2700 kg).
Arranging Load on Trailer Arrange load at the bottom and as
close as possible to trailer wheel axle.
In this way the trailer center of gravity
will be lower, thereby increasing the
driving safety of the vehicle-trailer
assembly. Always load a trailer with 60% of the
weight in the front of the trailer.
Loads bearing more on wheel axle, or
heavier in the rear of the trailer, can
cause the trailer to sway severely
side-to-side which could cause loss of
control of vehicle and trailer.
WARNING!
Failure to load trailers heavier in front
is the cause of many trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue
weight stamped on your trailer hitch.
Tire Pressure Adjustment Proper tire inflation pressures of your
vehicle and trailer are essential to the
safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle while driving and in
maneuvers.
Check for signs of tire wear or visible
tire damage on trailer and vehicle
before towing a trailer.
For more information on vehicle tires,
see “Tires – General Information” in
this section.
When a trailer must be towed, inflate
vehicle tires to full load recommended
pressure (FLC) indicated in chapter
“Tire pressure” in section “Features
and Specifications”.Driving

“Driving”). The thinner is the tread,
the greater is the risk of skidding.
• Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.
Winter Tires
These tires are specially
designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
The specific features of the winter
tires lead to lower performance under
normal environmental conditions or
on long highway trips, compared to
the standard tires.
Therefore, their use should be limited
to the situations and performance for
which they have been type-approved.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide all necessary information
about fitting winter tires on the
vehicle.
NOTE:
• We recommend fitting winter tires
on the vehicle at temperatures
below 45 °F (7°C) since the driving
performance of summer tires is
reduced at low temperatures.
Summer tires may be permanently
damaged at extremely low
temperatures.
• Comply with all state and local laws governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.
Wheel Rims Maintenance All wheel trims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes.
Do not use oven cleaner that may
affect and damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.Bodywork Maintenance
and Care Protection from Atmospheric
Agents The main causes of corrosion are:
• atmospheric pollution;
• salinity and humidity in the
atmosphere (marine areas or a damp
climate);
• seasonal environmental conditions;
• salt scattered on the roadbed to
melt ice and snow.
The abrasive action of wind-carried
atmospheric dust and sand, mud and
stones should not be underestimated.
On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted
the best technological solutions to
protect the bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
• paint products and systems that give
the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
• use of galvanized (or pre-treated)
metal sheets which are highly
resistant to corrosion in the most
exposed parts;
• spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, insides of wheel
housings, and other structures withMaintenance and Care
