accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlets as this will damage the outlet and
blow the fuse. Damages caused by
improper use of the power outlet are
not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this
type of outlet should be inserted
into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Replacing the fuses that protect
power outlets with others of higher
amperage, there is the risk of fire.

Driving on Snow or Ice
Please consider some general advice
for driving in these conditions, listed
below.
• Maintain a very moderate speed.
• Fit snow chains or specific tires if the
road is covered with snow: see the
paragraphs “Tires – General
Information” in this section.
• We recommend you to activate the
“I.C.E.” mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” in this section).
• During the winter season, even
apparently dry roads can have icy
sections. Be careful when crossing
bridges, viaducts and roads that
have little exposure to the sun and
are bordered by trees and rocks.
They may be icy.
• Keep an ample safe distance from
the vehicles in front of you.
WARNING!
• Rapid acceleration on slippery
surfaces is dangerous. Unequal
traction can cause sudden pulling of
the driving wheels. You could lose
control of the vehicle and possibly
have a collision. Accelerate slowly
and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow,
wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
• Do not drive on or across a road or
path where water is flowing and/or
rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing
water can wear away the road or
path surface and cause your vehicle
to sink into deeper water.
Furthermore, flowing and/or rising
water can carry your vehicle away
swiftly. Failure to follow this
warning may result in injuries that
are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
Although your vehicle is capable of
driving
through shallow standing
water, consider the following Cautions
and Warnings before doing so.
CAUTION!
• Always check the depth of the
standing water before driving
through it. Never drive through
standing water that is deeper than
47 in (150 mm).
• Determine the condition of the road
or the path that is under water and
if there are any obstacles in the way
before driving through the standing
water. • Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This
will minimize wave effects.
• Driving through standing water may
cause damage to your vehicle
drivetrain components. After driving
through standing water, do not drive
if you are not sure about drivetrain
condition. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle
Warranty.
• Getting water inside your vehicle
engine can cause it to lock up and
stall out, and cause serious internal
damage to the engine. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle
Warranty.
• After driving through standing
water always have the fluids (engine
oil, transmission oil, etc) checked for
contamination at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
• Driving through standing water
limits your vehicle traction
capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph
(8 km/h) when driving through
standing water.

• 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
in the “Engine Coolant Level Check”
of this chapter.V6 Engine V8 Engine

• Clean and protect polished metal
parts with special products available
on the market.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth
in breathable fabric (available from
an Authorized Maserati Dealer ). Do
not use thick plastic sheets, which do
not allow the humidity on the
vehicle surface to evaporate.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure
which must be 14.5 psi (1 bar) higher
than the normally prescribed one,
and check it at regular intervals.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available “Indoor and
Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought
back to the prescribed value before
reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”). Restarting the Vehicle Before restarting the vehicle after a
long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for
any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface
of the vehicle: use a damp cloth.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid
leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake
system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filters and have them
replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking
the charge status (refer to
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) and perform the initializing
procedure if applicable. You can
consult the paragraph “Battery
Reconnection” in this chapter for
further information on this subject. • With the transmission in N (Neutral),
let the engine idle for several
minutes.
WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is strongly
toxic and potentially lethal.
