WARNING!
• The spare wheel is narrower than
standard wheels and must only be
used to travel the distance required
to reach a service station, where the
punctured tire can be repaired or
replaced.
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare wheel; when this
limit is exceeded, the stability, road
holding and braking of the vehicle
will be compromised. Avoid
accelerating to full speed, heavy
braking and fast cornering.
• The compact spare wheel must be
inflated to the recommended tire
pressure (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”). • For safety reasons, it is absolutely
forbidden to drive with more than
one compact spare wheel fitted on
the vehicle.
• Snow chains cannot be fitted on the
compact spare wheel.
• The spare wheel can travel a
maximum of 1,800 mi (3.000 km).
To Refit the Standard Wheel with
Repair
ed or
Replaced Tire
• Following the procedure and the
caution described above, raise the
vehicle and remove the compact
spare wheel reusing the supplied
wrench with adapter, suitably
extended.
• Fit the standard wheel with repaired
or replaced tire.
• Tighten the original bolts on the
wheel.
• Lower the vehicle and remove the
jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately
tightening diametrically opposite. WARNING!
Observe the tightening torque for the
bolts securing the wheels (72 ± 7 lbf·ft
/ 98 ± 10 Nm). Check the correct
tightening torque as soon possible
contacting an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.

• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage
the electronic systems, particularly
the control units managing the
ignition and fuel supply functions.

discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window.

applying the parking brake, before
activating the manual park release.
Activating the manual park release
could allow your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the parking
brake. Activating the manual park
release on an unsecured vehicle could
lead to serious injury or death for
those in or around the vehicle.

and the transmission is still operable, a
RWD vehicle may be flat towed (with
all four wheels on the ground) under
the following conditions.
• The shift lever must be in N
(Neutral).
• The distance to be traveled must not
exceed 30 mi (50 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed
30 mph (50 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or
the RWD vehicle must be towed faster
than 30 mph (50 km/h) or farther than
30 mi (50 km) (for example on a
highway), tow with the rear 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
when the vehicle mileage reaches
12,500 mi (20,000 km) or after 1 year
of the vehicle's life, and subsequently
every 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or every
year.
After the 6 th
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 vehicle's oil if it has
been 1 year since your last oil
change.
• 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
temperature. • Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed 12,500 mi
(20,000 km) or at least after 1 year.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in
damage to the vehicle.
Scheduled Maintenance
(Service) Indicator The service indicator system will
remind you the deadline for the
maintenance program.
The indicator light
on the
instrument cluster flashes for approx. 5
seconds displaying the message backed
by a beeping sound, indicating that
the next scheduled maintenance is due
or has already overdue (see paragraph
”TFT Display: Warning/Indicator Lights
of the Set Modes/ Functions” in
chapter “Instrument Cluster” of
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for more details).Maintenance and Care
7
328

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. 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 at
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 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
