CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, this indicates a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.
Onboard Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current local
regulations of various countries.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information, which your Authorized Maserati Dealer will use to
service your vehicle. Although the
vehicle will still be driveable and not
need towing, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer for service as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause further damage
to the emissions control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
• After the problem has been solved,
the Authorized Maserati Dealer
personnel will perform specific tests
for a complete check of the system
and, if necessary, road tests.Driving

NOTE:
Any change made to tire dimensions
affects performance of Adaptive Cruise
Control and Front Collision Warning
(FCW), if equipped.
The ACC is not activated in the
following conditions:
• When braking.
• When parking brake is activated.
• When automatic transmission is in P
(Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral).
• When vehicle speed is out of preset
speed range
• When brakes are overheated.
• When driver door is open.
• When the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled.
• When the road is particularly steep
(both uphill and downhill) at low
speed.
• When drive mode
(ESC OFF) is
selected.
• When the door is opened at low
speed.
• When there has been an ESC event in
the last 5 seconds, or is still active.
• When there is an object too close in
front of the vehicle.
It is possible that more than one
system is active at the same time such as ACC and ABSA just to mention
some.
While activation of ACC and CC at the
same time is impossible.

Jump-Start Procedure WARNING!
• Stay clear of the radiator cooling fan
whenever the engine hood is raised.
It can start anytime the ignition
switch is on. You could be injured by
the moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical
contact. You could be seriously
injured.
• Do not allow the vehicles involved in
the jumpstarting operation to touch
each other as this could establish a
ground connection and cause
personal injury.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary
electrical accessories.
•
Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into P (Park)
and turn the ignition to OFF .
• If using another vehicle to jumpstart
the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is off. • Connect one terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable to the positive
(+) remote post of the vehicle with
the discharged battery after lifting
the protection cap of the cable
indicated on the external side of the
integrated power module.
• Connect the other terminal clamp of
the positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
negative jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
• Connect the other terminal clamp of
the negative (-) jumper cable to the
remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery
as rendered. • Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the
engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with
the discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster, wait a few
seconds after connecting the cables,
before starting the booster vehicle.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
negative (-) jumper cable from the
remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Disconnect the other terminal clamp
of the negative jumper cable from
the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster
battery.In an Emergency

• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
• check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter. CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as
well as engine emissions suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to “Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
driveability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
• If the MIL
is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required.
Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs In some localities, it may be a legal
requirement to pass an inspection of
your vehicle's emissions control system.Maintenance and Care

• Re-insert the dipstick completely and
remove: the oil level should maintain
between the MIN and MAX
reference ranges (SAFE range).
• If a refilling is necessary, unscrew the
filler neck cap. • Adding 1.5 Quarts / 1.4 Litres (V8
Engine), 1.1 Quarts / 1 Litre (V6
Engine) of oil when the level is at
the bottom of the SAFE range will
result in the level being at the top of
the SAFE range.
• Return the cap and dipstick to their
position and wait for a few minutes
to allow the oil to reach the oil pan. • Check the level again.
• Refit the inspection cover (V8
Engine).
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be
replaced with a new filter at every oil
change.
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer to perform this service.
Automatic Transmission Oil Check
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer for the oil level check.
Fluid Level Check for Coolant
Transmission System
The coolant contained in the bottle of
this system is the same as the one used
for the cooling system of the engine.
For the preparation of the mixture of
water and antifreeze and for the
control of the level, proceed as shown
