Three primary driving aspects are
affected by improper tire pressure:
Safety
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires can be
dangerous.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing
and can result in tire overheating.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability
to cushion shock. Objects on the
road and potholes can cause damage
that results in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires
can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side
of the vehicle to the other can cause
the vehicle to drift to the right or
left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated
to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
Economy
Improper
inflation pressures may cause
uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal
wear patterns will reduce tread life
resulting in a need for earlier tire
replacement. Under-inflation also
increases tire rolling resistance
resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Ride comfort and vehicle stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over-inflation
produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
Tire Pressure Checkup The proper cold tire inflation pressure
is indicated on the driver's side rear
door pillar and on the table “Tire
Inflation Pressure” in section “Features
and Specifications”.
Inflation pressure specified on the
table always refers to “cold tire
inflation pressure”. Cold tire inflation
pressure is defined as the tire pressure
after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less
than 1 mi (1.6 km) after a three hour
period.
Check tire pressures more often in case
of significant outside temperature
changes, as tire pressure varies
according to temperature changes.
The pressure should be checked and if
necessary adjusted; tire wear and overall conditions should also be
checked monthly. Tire pressures
change by approximately 1 PSI (0.07
bar) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when
checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F
(20°C) and the outside temperature =
32°F (0°C) then the cold tire inflation
pressure should be increased by 3 PSI
(0.21 bar) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6
PSI (0.13 to 0.4 bar) during operation.
DO NOT reduce this normal pressure
build-up or your tire pressure will be
too low. After inspecting or adjusting
the tire pressure, always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the
valve stem and the TPMS sensor
connected to it.
Tread Wear Indicators Tread wear indicators are in the
original equipment tires to help you
determine when your tires should be
replaced.
These indicators are molded into the
bottom of the tread grooves.Driving

off until the tire pressure is equal or
above the recommended cold inflation
pressure. Once the low tire pressure
warning light
illuminates, you must
increase the tire pressure to the
recommended cold inflation pressure
in order for the TPMS light
to turn
off. The system will automatically
update and the TPMS light
will turn
off once the system acquires the
correct tire pressure.
The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
acquire and process the updated
setting. WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may occur when
using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped
with a TPMS, as damage to the
sensors may result.
• The system can temporarily
experience radio-electric
interference emitted by devices
using similar frequencies.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem and damage the TPMS internal
sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving
on a significantly
underinflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and may lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gage, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS light
.
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMSDriving

with proper maintenance. Have the
exhaust system inspected every time
the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.

vehicle Refueling Fuel Filler Neck Access To access the fuel filler neck, the filler
door must be unlocked. From outside
the vehicle, this can only be done by
pressing the unlock
or the lock
button on the key fob RKE
transmitter, in the same way as if
opening or closing the doors. If any of
the door lock controls is pressed from
inside the vehicle, the filler door will
still remain open to allow refueling.
• Press the indicated area on the filler
door, which is located on the rear left
side of the vehicle: the filler door will
open completely.
Refill the Tank The fuel filler neck is provided with
external cap. • Rotate counterclockwise and remove
the fuel filler cap. The cap hermetic
seal may result in a slight pressure
increase inside the tank. Any hissing
noise while the cap is being opened
is therefore completely normal. The
cap is linked to the filler neck with a
strap, to prevent it from being lost
while refueling.
• When refueling, place the cap in the
proper seat on the filler door hinge.Driving

Fuel Filler Cap Open Warning
Light After refueling the car
performs a check of the fuel
filler cap and the amber
warning light on the TFT
display comes on if it is not correctly
closed, after approximately 10 minutes
also depending on driving conditions.
If the problem is in the fuel system, the
Malfunction Indicator Light
also
comes on.
If the fuel filler cap is locked and the
issue remains in the system, at the next
engine start only the Malfunction
Indicator Light
comes on. In this
case, contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob RKE
transmitter, use the fuel filler door
emergency release located in the
trunk.
• Open the power liftgate (see “Power
Liftgate Operation” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Lift the access cover on the left side
of the trunk. • Pull the release cable moderately to
avoid its possible break. It's not
possible to feel or hear the unlocking
of the fuel filler door actuator.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door.Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to have
the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent themDriving
