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+.

WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids 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 mainlyMaintenance and Care

on the sun visors are LED powered and
cannot be replaced by the owner.
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to replace them.
Trunk Compartment Light To replace the bulbs (W5W) inside the
trunk, proceed as follows after trunk
lid opening.
• Remove the light fixing frame by
levering it out gently at the
indicated point with a screwdriver.
• Raise the lens cover. • Replace the pressure-fitted bulb.
• Refit the lens cover, inserting first
the electrical connector side and
then pressing on the other side.
A/C System Maintenance For the best performance, the air
conditioning system should be
checked and serviced by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer at the
beginning of the warm season.
This service should include cleaning of
the condenser, check of the drive belt
tension and a performance test.
During the winter, the air conditioning
system should be operated at least
once a month for about 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air
conditioning system as the chemicals
can damage your air conditioning
components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Battery Statement Battery Statement Status of
Charge To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The warning light
on the
instrument cluster, will indicate any
malfunctions in the recharge circuit or
an insufficient battery charge status
(example in figure).
The vehicle contains advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which consume power even when the
ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the vehicle is not being used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and
that all the electrical/electronic systems
in the vehicle work efficiently.
Maintaining Battery Charge If you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 miles/16 km), which
correspond to an annual total of 4000
miles/6000 km, or when the vehicle is
not going to be used for one week or
more, Maserati recommends
connecting the vehicle to a battery
charger, to save you the trouble of
having to recharge the battery. The
battery charger will keep the battery
charged properly and at the correct
voltage levels required by the systems
and devices in the vehicle.
Before using and/or connecting the
battery charger, carefully follow the
instructions provided.
If you do not use a battery charger to
prevent the battery from going dead
when you are not going to use the
vehicle for long periods of time, you
need to check and recharge the
battery at least once every three
weeks. Make this check if you perform short daily trips (approximately 10
miles/16 km) which correspond to an
annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km.
Please note that allowing the battery
to go dead repeatedly can cause
premature wear on the internal cells
and greatly reduce their life, leading
to problems with the ignition system
and other electrical/electronic systems.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to advise you on how to
recharge your battery correctly and
give you useful information on battery
care and maintenance.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Battery
Charger and Conditioner”, available in
the “Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times:
• always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilatedMaintenance and Care
