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

CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
conditioning and heating system
efficiency.
Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting
When the windshield wiper arms are
in rest position it is not possible to
check or replace the blades as they
remain under the engine hood.
To service the blades it is necessary to
move the wiper arms in “Service”
position (see chapter “Wipers and
Washers” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle”). In this way it is possible
to lift the arms for cleaning or
replacing the wiper blades.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the windshield
wipers in an active position (any
position different from “OFF”) and
with the ignition switch in the RUN
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers. Always use the “Service” position for any
intervention on the windshield wiper
blades.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life
expectancy of wiper
blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks on the glass,
water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield/rear
window glasses periodically with a
sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the tank (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement
• Move the wiper arms into “Service”
position, (see chapter “Windshield
Wipers and Washers” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”) and lift
them.
• Press the indicated button, slip off
the blade support from the arm and
replace it.
• Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
• Turn the multifunction lever to one
of the automatic settings (see
chapter “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle”) and move the ignitionMaintenance and Care

To Reconnect the Battery CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using one
more time the Key fob RKE
Transmitter.
• Close manually the liftgate unlock it
lid with the key fob RKE transmitter
and then lock it manually on more time. If the vehicle is equipped with
power liftgate, manually perform
the complete closure. Then move the
lid automatically, using the buttons
on the outer edge of the left trunk,
performing a complete cycle of
opening and closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and
pressing the “AUTO” control as
described in chapter “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position.
• If the car is equipped with power
sunshades on rear door windows, carry out the teach mode cycle
described on chapter “Power
Sunshades on Rear Door Windows”
in section “Before Starting”.
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is
reconnected the warning light
flash for about 10 seconds and then
go off.

A/C System Maintenance For the best performance, the air
conditioning system should be
checked and serviced by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer at the
beginning of the warm season.
This service should include cleaning of
the condenser, check of the drive belt
tension and a performance test.
During the winter, the air conditioning
system should be operated at least
once a month for about 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air
conditioning system as the chemicals
can damage your air conditioning
components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
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:

WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and
compressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air
conditioning system. Some
unapproved refrigerants are
flammable and can explode, causing
injuries. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause
the system to fail, requiring costly
repairs.
• The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid risk of personal injury or
damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be
done by an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Periodically remove any leaves and
insects
that may build
up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in “Hood Operation” in
section “Before Starting”.Maintenance and Care
