assemblies. After replacing all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensors,
drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will
chime, the TPMS light
will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on and the instrument cluster
will display the “Service Tire Pressure
System” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values. Beginning with the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires equipped with TPMS sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the TPMS light
will flash for 75 seconds and then
turn off. The instrument cluster will
then display the “Service Tire Pressure
System” message.
The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes
(--). On the next ignition switch cycle
the “Service Tire Pressure System”
message will no longer be displayed as
long as no system fault exists.

Regulatory Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio and radar frequency devices
can be consulted by accessing the
"Services" section on the website
www.maserati.com.Fuel Requirements The engines are designed to meet all
environmental regulations and provide
excellent fuel economy and
performance when using unleaded
premium gasoline with an AKI octane
rating of 91 or above. AKI (Anti Knock
Index) is an average on the Research
Octane Number, RON, and the Motor
Octane Number, MON (RON + MON/2
gives you the AKI).
For vehicle top performance, use
unleaded premium gasoline with no
less than 93 minimum AKI octane
rating.
Poor quality gasoline can cause
problems such as hard starting,
stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before
considering service for the vehicle at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline that
contain detergents, anti-corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasoline that have these
additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and
maintain vehicle performance.Driving

Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is
required to contain effective
detergent additives. Use of additional
detergents or other additives is not
needed under normal conditions and
they would result in additional cost.
Therefore, you should not have to add
anything to the fuel.
Fuel System Warnings WARNING!
Follow these guidelines to maintain
your vehicle's performance:
• The use of leaded gasoline is
prohibited by Federal and Provincial
law. Using leaded gasoline can
impair engine performance and
damage the emissions control
system.
• The use of fuel additives, which are
now being sold as octane enhancers,
is not recommended. Most of these
products contain high concentrations
of methanol. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels
or additives is not the responsibility
of Maserati. NOTE:
Intentional
tampering with the
emissions control system can result in
civil penalties civil penalties and could
void the vehicle warranty.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust
gases is deadly. Follow the precautions
below to prevent carbon monoxide
poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas, which can kill.
Never run the engine in a closed
area, such as a garage, and never sit
in a parked vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period. If
the vehicle is stopped in an open
area with the engine running for
more than a short period, adjust the
ventilation system to force fresh,
outside air into the vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide
with proper maintenance. Have the
exhaust system inspected every time
the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.
