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

bottle does not drop when the
engine cools, the cooling system
should be tested by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
• Keep the front of the radiator and
the condenser clean.
WARNING!
• Never add engine coolant
(antifreeze) when the engine is hot.
Do not loosen or remove the cap of
the engine coolant bottle to cool a
hot engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not
remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
• When adding coolant do not use a
pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.

Brake Fluid Level Check
Check
the fluid level immediately if
the brake system warning light
and the related message turn on
indicating a low level of brake fluid.
• Remove the brake fluid reservoir
access cover.
• Clean the top of the master cylinder
reservoir before removing the cap. • Add fluid to bring the level up to the
“MAX” mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir. Use only
manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid (see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Once the correct level is reached,
firmly close the cap.
Normal brake pad wear could cause
the fluid level to fall. However, low
fluid level may be caused by a leak
too, and requires accurate checkup of
the braking system.
CAUTION!
The symbol
on the tank cap
identifies the synthetic type of brake
fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral type. Using mineral fluids
damages the special rubber linings ofMaintenance and Care
