quick coupling from the negative
pole (–) of the battery.
If the battery needs to be removed
from its compartment, you must first
detach the terminal clamp from
negative pole (–) and then the other
terminal clamp from positive pole (+),
after removing the protective cover.
Battery poles are marked positive (+)
and negative (–) and are identified on
the battery case.
Remove the metal clamp indicated in
the picture and then remove the
battery from the trunk compartment.
To Reconnect the Battery
NOTE:
When the battery cables have been
disconnected and the trunk lid has
been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release cable in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release (see
“Open and Close the Trunk Lid”
chapter in section “Before Starting”).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is precisely attached to
the positive pole (+) and the
negative cable is attached to the
negative pole (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal poles and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
radio control buttons on the key.
• Unlock the trunk lid with the radio
control button on the key and then
lock it manually.• Check the seats are working
correctly: in the event of
malfunction, carry out the
initialization operations described in
the chapter “Front Seats” of the
section “Understanding the Vehicle”.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the compressor as
described in chapter "Air
Conditioning Controls" of the section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Setting” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
located next the shift lever to
initialize the electric parking brakes.
In this way the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the key in the ignition switch
turned toMAR (ON)position before
starting the engine, in order to allow
the electronic system that manages
the motor-driven throttles to run a

• To access the fuses inside the control
boxes, remove the covers by levering
up the fastening tabs.
Maintenance and Care

• 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 anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerat 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.
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 know to the State ofCalifornia 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
WARNING!
•Use only refrigerants and
compressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air
conditioning system. Some
refrigerants are flammable and can
explode, causing injuries. Other
unapproved refrigerants or
lubricants can cause the system to
fail, requiring costly repairs.
•The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid risk of personal injury or
damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be
done by an experienced technician.
Maintenance and Care
7
262
Periodically remove any leaves and
insects that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in “Open and Close the
Hood” in section “Before Starting”.
A/C Air Filter Replacement
This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided
that windows and doors are perfectly
closed.
Have your filter replaced at least once
a year at anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer, preferably at the beginning of
the summer period.
If the vehicle is mainly used in the city
traffic, on highways or dusty roads, we
recommend that you replace the
filters more frequently than prescribed
in the "Scheduled Service Plan" of this
section.
CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
conditioning and heating system
efficiency.

Wheels Maintenance
Tires Maintenance
CAUTION!
To obtain the best performances and
the longest mileage from the tires,
take the following precautions during
the first 310 mi (500 km):
• do not drive at the vehicle’s
maximum speed;
• drive at low speed on curves;
• avoid sudden steering;
• avoid sudden braking;
• avoid sudden acceleration;
• do not drive at high speeds for too
long.
The tires inflation pressure must
correspond to the prescribed values
(see the chapter “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”) and should be
checked only when the tires have
cooled down. In fact, the pressure
increases as the tire temperature
progressively increases.
Never reduce the pressure if tires are
hot (see “Tires – General Information”
chapter in section “Driving”).
Maintenance and Care
7
263
Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing, the frequency of which
depends on the conditions of use and
of the environment. For example, if
driving the vehicle in areas where
there is high atmospheric pollution or
the roads are spread with anti-freeze
salt, it is advisable to wash the vehicle
more frequently.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Detergents pollute water. Therefore
the vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for the collection and
purification of the fluids used for
washing.NOTE:
The use of alcohol-based products for
cleaning the metal plates in the engine
compartment and/or the trunk may
deteriorate the painted surface. It is
recommended to use water-based
products and neutral surfactants.
Car Wash
For correct washing:
• wet the bodywork with a low
pressure water jet;
• pass a sponge with a light detergent
solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
• rinse well with water and dry with an
air jet or chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with
the parts that are less visible, such as
the door and lid bays, headlight edges,
in which water can be trapped more
easily.
You are recommended not to take the
vehicle immediately into an enclosed
environment, but leave it in the open
air so as to allow the water to
evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or when the hood
is hot: the paint gloss could be
affected.External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the bodywork.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility
of originating corrosive processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept clear
and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to
avoid damaging it.
• If you are washing the vehicle with
roller brushes, you must protect the
edges of the rear, lateral brand
