compartment, remembering to avoid
directing the jet of water for too long
on the ECUs and other electric parts.
To perform this operation, you must
contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealer.Interior Maintenance and
Care
Interior trim should be cleaned
starting with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.
The leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt
can act as an abrasive and damage the
leather upholstery and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth.
Stubborn soils stains can be removed
easily with a soft cloth and
appropriate products. Avoid soaking
the leather upholstery with any liquid.
Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery.
Application of a leather conditioner is
not required to maintain the original
condition.
Check at regular intervals that there is
no water trapped under the mats (due
to drips off shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which may cause the metal parts to
oxidize.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents
to clean the instrument cluster'stransparent dome, the MTC+ display,
the analog clock and the leather
upholstery. We recommended the use
of “Car Care” products approved by
Maserati for the maintenance and care
of the interior.
Leather Upholstery Treatment
Have the leather upholstery only
treated, as provided in the Scheduled
Service Plan, by anAuthorized
Maserati Dealerwhich has the
required specific products.
Parts in Premium Quality Wood
Remove any dirt with a buckskin
leather or damp cloth.
NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Car
Care” products, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.

Periods
If the vehicle is going to be stored for
over a month, follow the below
precautions:
• Wash and dry the vehicle
thoroughly.
• Store the vehicle in a covered, dry
and, if possible, ventilated area.
• Select P (Park) and turn off the
engine.
• Turn the key in the ignition switch in
STOP (OFF)position.
• Disconnect the battery (refer
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) or connect a battery charger
(refer to paragraph “Maintaining
Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery
Statement” in this section).
• Check the battery charge status.
During parking, this check must be
carried out every three weeks.
Recharge the battery if the open
circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
• Check that the parking brake is NOT
engaged.
• Do not empty the engine cooling
system.
• Clean and protect the painted parts
applying protective wax.• Clean and protect polished metal
parts with special products available
on the market.
• Talc the windshield wiper blades and
raise them from the windshield.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth
in breathable fabric (available from
theAuthorized Maserati Dealer). Do
not use thick plastic sheets, which do
not allow the humidity on the
vehicle surface to evaporate.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure
which must be 1 bar (14.5 psi) higher
than the normally prescribed one,
and check it at regular intervals.
NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
provide you with any information
about the available “Indoor and
Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the

WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought
back to the prescribed value before
reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).

Restarting the Vehicle
Before restarting the vehicle after a
long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for
any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface
of the vehicle.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid
leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake
system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filter and have them
replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking
the charge status (refer to
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) and perform the initializing
procedure if applicable.
• With the transmission in N (Neutral),
let the engine idle for several
minutes.WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is strongly
toxic and potentially lethal.

Battery Statement
Battery Statement Status of
Charge
To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The
warning light on the
instrument cluster (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”), will
indicate any malfunctions in the
recharge circuit or an insufficient
battery charge status (flashing).
The vehicle is fitted with advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the key in
the ignition switch is in theSTOP (OFF)
position and the vehicle is not being
used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and

availability at the mains socket; if LED
or LEDfor “Active” or
“Passive” stage does not turn on
within a few seconds from proper
maintainer connection, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealerto have
vehicle electrical system inspected.
Precautions and Warnings
• Make sure that cables are not
pinched or reach hot surfaces or
cutting edges.
• Do not cover battery maintainer.
• Make sure that mains connector is
not exposed to water/rain.
• Connection to the mains must
comply with prevailing regulations
on high voltage.
• Always check maintainer cables
before use: make sure that cables
and external sheath are free of
cracks.
• Never use a maintainer if cables are
damaged.
• Store and use the maintainer out of
reach of children; do not allowchildren to play with the battery
charge maintainer.
Protection from Overheating
The supplied battery charge
maintainer features a protection
against overheating.
In case ambient temperature
increases, output power is reduced.
Service
• Battery maintainer does not require
any maintenance.
• Do not disassemble the battery
maintainer.
• The maintainer case can be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth or using mild
detergent.
• Always disconnect the maintainer
