CAUTION!
• 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.
• If the battery is completely
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.
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully
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.
NOTE:
If
you need
to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, see
“Maintenance — Free Battery” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).

vehicle 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

Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing, the frequency of which
depends on the conditions of use and
of the environment. For example, if
driving the vehicle in areas where
there is high atmospheric pollution or
the roads are spread with anti-freeze
salt, it is advisable to wash the vehicle
more frequently.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Detergents pollute water. Therefore
the vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for the collection and
purification of the fluids used for
washing. NOTE:
The use of alcohol-based products for
cleaning the metal surfaces in the
engine compartment and/or the trunk
may deteriorate the protective paint.
It is recommended to use water-based
products.
Car Wash
For correct washing:
• wet the bodywork with a low
pressure water jet;
• pass a sponge with a light detergent
solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
• rinse well with water and dry with
an air jet or chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with
the parts that are less visible, such as
the door and lids bays, headlight
edges, in which water can be trapped
more easily.
You are recommended not to take the
vehicle immediately into an enclosed
environment, but leave it in the open
air so as to allow the water to
evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or when the hood
is hot: the paint gloss could be
affected. External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the bodywork.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of originating corrosive
processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept
clear and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to
avoid damaging it.Maintenance and Care
