proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you operate
the controls (see “Lights” chapter in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (see “Instrument Cluster”
chapter in section “Dashboard

reaching the set threshold an acoustic
signal will be heard.
If the warning light switches on while
driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it
off. Also, shift the transmission into N
(Neutral) and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature does not return to
normal, immediately turn the engine
off and contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer . Check “Engine Overheating” in
section “In an Emergency” for more
information.
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
Under normal conditions, the
warning light illuminates
when the ignition device is
turned to RUN and goes off as
soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light stays or turns on
while driving, the engine oil pressure is too low. The warning light is
combined with a displayed message
and an acoustic signal that will last 4
minutes. In this case, turn the engine
off immediately and carry out the
necessary checks.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
problem has been corrected. This light
does not indicate the oil level. The
engine oil level must be checked with
the dipstick located under the hood
(see “Maintenance Procedures” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Engine Oil Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that the
engine oil is overheated. The
warning light is combined
with the related displayed
message. In this case, drive carefully
until the temperature drops back to
normal level and the light warning
light turns off.
If the problem persists, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Low Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This warning light and the
related displayed message,
indicate a low engine oil level.

Engine Oil Level Check
T
o assure
proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the
warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled services (see “Scheduled Maintenance
Service” in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings.
CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
• Remove the inspection cover on the
right
engine bank
(V8 Engine). • Remove the dipstick and clean it with
a dry and clean cloth. V8 Engine
