the next scheduled maintenance is
due or has already overdue.
When the scheduled maintenance has
overdue, the indicator light
and
message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
The service indicator and message will
illuminate approximately from 620 mi
(1000 km) or 30 days to the next
scheduled maintenance.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible. NOTE:
The service indicator will not monitor
the time elapsed from the last
scheduled maintenance.
To check the mi/km and the days that
remain at the inspiration of the next
scheduled maintenance, consult the
“Maintenance” submenu of “VEHICLE
INFO” main menu (see paragraph ”TFT
Dispaly : Warning/Indicator Lights of
the Set Modes/ Functions” in chapter
“Instrument Cluster” of section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for more details).
An Authorized Maserati Dealer will
reset the service indicator message
after completing the scheduled
maintenance operations.Scheduled Service Plan The Scheduled Maintenance services
listed in this manual must be done
within the times or mileages specified
to protect your vehicle warranty and
ensure the best vehicle performance
and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles in operating
conditions, such as dusty areas,
extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures and very short trip
driving.
Inspection and service should also be
done anytime a malfunction is
suspected.
Maserati recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed
at an Authorized Maserati Dealer . The
technicians at your dealership know
your vehicle best, and have access to
factory-approved information,
genuine Maserati parts, and specially
designed electronic and mechanical
tools that can help prevent future
costly repairs.Maintenance and Care

Check:
• engine coolant;
• brake fluid;
• windshield washer fluid level;
• tire inflation pressure and condition; • operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard warning flashers, etc.);
• operation of windshield
washer/wiper system and wear of
windshield wiper blades.
Every 1,900 mi (3,000 km)
Check and top up, if required, the
engine oil level. WARNING!

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

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.

minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a

Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, hood, liftgate and flaps
are properly closed. All interior lights
should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing. We recommend you to have the
battery
charge condition checked,
preferably
at the beginning of the cold
season, to prevent the electrolyte from
freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power-absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This applies
above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times.
• Before using a charger device always
check that this tool is suitable for the
installed battery, with constant
voltage (lower than 14.0 V) and low
amperage (maximum limit 15 A). • Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
• Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery.
• Ensure that any sparks or open
flames are kept well away from the
battery while it is charging.
• Before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
It is possible to recharge the battery
without
disconnecting the cables
of
the vehicle electrical system.
• To access the battery lift the ground
coverage of the trunk compartment
(see chapter “Tool Kit” section “In an
Emergency”) and remove the storage
box.
• Remove the protection cover and
connect the terminal clamp of the
charger positive cable (typically in
red) to the positive post (+) of the
battery.
• Connect the terminal clamp of the
charger negative cable (typically in
black) to the nut located by theMaintenance and Care
