Fuse Replacement
Used Fuses Characteristics
When an electrical device is not
functioning, check that the
corresponding fuse is in proper
working order (intact).
AFuse intact
BFuse blown
Replace the faulty fuse with a new
one featuring the same rating, by
using appropriate forceps.The color identifies the value of the
fuses in amperes which is also
reported on them.
The vehicle is endowed with mini- and
maxi-fuses.
The table shows the match between
color and amperage of mini and maxi
fuses.

CAUTION!
• Never replace a blown fuse with
anything other than a new and
suitable fuse (same rating).
• After replacing a fuse, if the fault
recurs, contact anAuthorized
Maserati Dealer.
Position of Fuses
The fuses are located in three parts of
the vehicle, namely:

Fuses in Trunk Compartment
• To access the fuses, remove the floor
panel.• Remove the inside covering panel of
the battery compartment.
There are two control boxes.
• To access the fuses inside the control
boxes, remove the covers by levering
up the fastening tabs.
Maintenance and Care

255

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.
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 of
California 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:

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

NOTE:
•We recommend fitting winter tires
on the vehicle at temperatures 45 °F
(7 °C) since the driving performance
of summer tires is reduced at low
temperatures. Summer tires may be
permanently damaged at extremely
low temperatures.
•Comply with all state and local laws
governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.
Wheel Rims Maintenance
All wheel trims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes.
Do not use oven cleaner that may
affect and damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.
Bodywork Maintenance
and Care
Protection from Atmospheric
Agents
The main causes of corrosion are:
• atmospheric pollution;
• salinity and humidity in the
atmosphere (marine areas or a damp
climate);
• seasonal environmental conditions;
• salt scattered on the roadbed to
melt ice and snow.
The abrasive action of wind-carried
atmospheric dust and sand, mud and
stones should not be underestimated.
On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted
the best technological solutions to
protect the bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
• paint products and systems that give
the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
• use of galvanized (or pre-treated)
metal sheets which are highly
resistant to corrosion in the most
exposed parts;
• spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, insides of wheel
housings, and other structures withwax products having high protective
power;
• spraying of plastic materials, with a
protective function, in the most
exposed points: underneath the
doors, inside part of the mud guards,
edges, etc.;
• use of ventilated box sections,
coated with protective wax products,
to avoid condensation and trapped
water which could encourage the
formation of internal rust.
Useful Advice to Keep the
Bodywork in Good Condition
Paint
The paintwork does not only have an
aesthetic function but also protects
the underlying metal sheets. In the
event of abrasions or deep scratches,
we recommend to have the necessary
touch-ups made immediately, to avoid
any rust formation. Touch-ups do not
feature particular difficulties, even on
metallic finishes.
For all paint touch-ups, use only
original products indicated on the
plate applied inside the hood.

Brakes
Self-ventilating disc brakes on the four
wheels.
• Front disc diameter: 14.1 in (360
mm).
• Rear disc diameter: 13 in (330 mm).
• 6-piston front brake caliper
(Dual-cast technology).
• 4-piston rear brake caliper.
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) acts
on the rear wheels.
Transmission
Electro-hydraulically controlled
automatic transmission with 6 gears
(plus reverse), torque converter,
lock-up clutch and anti-slip function.
TRANSAXLE-type transmission.
Traction system equipped with rear
self-locking differential.
Suspension
Front and rear articulated
quadrilateral suspensions.
Skyhook adjustable damping
suspension (optional on MC version)
that allows the driver to choose two
settings for the shock absorbers,
depending on the road surface
conditions, speed and comfort.
Steering
Hydraulic speed-sensitive steering with
cooling exchanger system.
Steering diameter = 11.7 yd (10,7 m).
No. of steering wheel turns = 1.5 (to
the left and right).
Wheels
NOTE:
In order to maintain high performance
and safety level, Maserati
recommends to use tires equivalent to
the original size.
WARNING!
•The maximum speed reachable with
the tires (including winter tires) is
indicated by the tire manufacturer.
Always comply with the regulations
in force in the Country you are
driving in.
•Never exceed the maximum speed
indicated for the tires (including
winter tires): failure to respect the
max. speed may damage these tires.
Danger: risk of accident!
CAUTION!
• While respecting the specified sizes,
for the safe operation of the vehicle
it is also essential that it is equipped
with the same brand and type of
tires on all wheels.
• Do not use an inner tube with
Tubeless tires.
