• Refit the access cover making sure to
engage the two projecting elements
indicated by the arrow fully home
into the bumper.
• Push cover lower end toward
bumper until the two retainers click
in place.
Towing Tips • Before setting out on a trip, check
operation of trailer rear lights and stop lights to ensure you do not
jeopardize other road users' safety.
• Make certain that the load is secured
in the trailer and will not shift
during travel. When trailering cargo
that is not fully secured, dynamic
load shifts can occur that may be
difficult for the driver to control.
• When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your vehicle
or trailer. Overloading can cause a
loss of control, damage to brakes,
driveline, steering, suspension or
tires.
• Safety metal wire must always be
used between your vehicle and
trailer. Always connect the wire to
the hook retainers of the trailer and
vehicle hitch. Cross the wire under
the trailer tongue and allow enough
slack for turning corners.
• Comply with local applicable speed
limits.
• Towing any trailer will increase your
stopping distance. When towing,
you should allow for additional
space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do
so could result in an accident.
• For towing use “Normal” ride
height. • Do not exceed maximum specified
pressure for vehicle and trailer tires.
• Vehicles with trailers should not be
parked on a steep grade. When
parking, put the tow vehicle
transmission in P (Park) and apply
the parking brake on the tow
vehicle. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
• Do not use electronic Cruise Control
(CC and/or ACC) when driving on
slopes or when carrying heavy loads.
• The D (Drive) gear must be selected
when towing. The transmission
controls include a drive strategy to
avoid frequent shifting when
towing. However, if frequent
shifting does occur while in D
(Drive), if provided, you can use the
paddle shift switches to manually
select a lower gear.
• Using a lower gear while operating
the vehicle under heavy loading
conditions, will improve
performance and extend
transmission life by reducing
excessive shifting and heat buildup.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.Driving

Scheduled Maintenance
Service Correct maintenance is clearly the best
way to guarantee vehicle performance
and safety features, ensure respect for
the environment and low operating
costs.
NOTE:
Also remember that the observance of
the maintenance procedures is
essential for keeping your vehicle
operating properly. Not adhering to
the “Scheduled Service Plan” can
impact your vehicle’s warranty.
Interval Running Coupons Maserati has therefore provided for a
series of checks and maintenance
operations involving the 1 st
service and
subsequent when the vehicle reaches
mileage/years reported on the
“Scheduled Service Plan” in this
section.
After the last service, maintenance
must be restarted with the operations
scheduled for the 1 st
,2 nd
and 3 rd
service. CAUTION!
The Scheduled Maintenance services
are prescribed by the Manufacturer.
Failure to have the services carried out
can affect your warranty.
The Scheduled Maintenance service is
provided
by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer . In the event that, when a
service is performed, further
replacements or repairs are found to
be necessary in addition to the
scheduled operations, these can be
carried out only with the specific
consent of the Customer.
CAUTION!
You are advised to notify the
Authorized Maserati Dealer of any
minor operating problem, without
waiting for the next scheduled service. NOTE:
• Change
your engine oil more often if
you drive your vehicle off-road for an
extended period of time or short
trips without reaching operating
temperatures. Even the use of the
vehicle with extremely hot or cold
ambient temperatures and with
trailer tow may make more frequent
engine oil changes necessary.
• Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed
mileage/years reported on the
“Scheduled Service Plan” in this
section.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in
damage to the vehicle.
Scheduled Maintenance

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
Heavy-Duty Vehicle Use If the car is mainly used under one of
the following conditions:
• towing a trailer;
• off-road;
• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear; • check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter.
CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as
well as engine emissions suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.Maintenance and Care
