you can run the date and time set up

• Every time the battery is
reconnected the
and
warning lights will flash for
about 10 seconds and then go off.
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

Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids and
flaps are properly closed. All interior
lights should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing (this can happen even at
14°F/-10°C).
We recommend you to have the
battery charge condition checked,
preferably at the beginning of the
cold season, to prevent the electrolyte
from freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This appliesabove all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times.
•Before using a charger device
always check that this tool is
suitable for the installed battery,
with constant voltage (lower than
14.8 V) and low amperage
(maximum limit 15 A).
•Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
•Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery: it can explode due to
hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals.
•Ensure that any sparks or open

The signal failure of an external light
(turn signal, low beam and high beam,
license plate light, reverse light, brake
light and rear fog light) is
communicated to the instrument
cluster that displays on the TFT screen
the
oramber warning light
and a text message indicating which
light is faulty.
Front Headlights
The light bulbs of the headlight
clusters are arranged as follows:
1Bi-Xenon low-beam/high-beam
bulb.
2Position light and DRL (*) LED.
3Turn signal light bulb.
4FTP bulb, headlight flashing.
5Side marker bulb.
(*) On vehicles for the Canadian
market DRL are always enabled.
CAUTION!
Due to the complexity of the
operation, for the replacement of the
headlight clusters light bulbs, we
recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
WARNING!
The headlamps are a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch and the ignition
switch off. Because of this, you should
not attempt to replace a headlamp
bulb yourself, but take the vehicle to
an Authorized Maserati Dealer for
service.

• Refit the domelight inserting first the
electrical connector side and then
pressing the other side until it is
firmly secured in place.
Courtesy Mirror Light
To replace the bulb (12V - 5W
“torpedo” type):
• Remove the fixing frame from the
sun visor by levering it out gently at
points indicated in picture.
• Replace the bulb located on the back
of the mirror frame.
• Refit the fixing frame by pressing it
on the sun visor.
Trunk Compartment Light
To replace the bulb (W5W) inside the
trunk compartment, proceed as
follows after trunk lid opening.• Remove the light fixing frame by
levering it out gently at the indicated
point with a screwdriver.
• Raise the lens cover.
• Replace the pressure-fitted bulb.
• 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.

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

NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
give you all details concerning the
battery charge maintainer, available
from the "Genuine Accessories" range
with four types of socket, and its use.
Instructions for Use
First connect the battery charge
maintainer to vehicle socket: this
trigger the “Active” stage and the
maintainer can stay connected to
vehicle for a few months with no
problem.
Position the device outside the vehicle,
leaving trunk lid slightly open,
avoiding to squeeze the cable that
gets out of the luggage compartment
and/or damaging the edge seal.
WARNING!
Set the battery maintainer in view,
away from any heat source and out of
reach of children.
Battery charge maintaining process
can be stopped at any time by
disconnecting the power cable from
the mains.
Always disconnect the power cable
mains end first and then remove it
from vehicle socket.
The battery maintainer features three
LED identified by the following
symbols:
: error light;
: active stage light: indication;
: maintaining light: charge
maintenance.When LED
is steady on: it indicates
a fault of the vehicle electric system or
battery.
When LED
is steady on: it indicates
that maintainer is in “Active” stage. At
this stage the battery is brought from
a poor charge level to an excellent
charge level.
When LED
is steady on: it indicates
that the battery is fully charged and
maintainer is in “Passive” stage. At this
stage the device keeps battery charged
to an excellent level.
When LED
and LEDare
alternatively blinking:
• if they blink a few times per second,
probably the battery is sulfated;
• if blinking continues for over 60
minutes, the battery must be
replaced;
• if they blink with an interval of a few
minutes, it means that the
percentage of battery self-discharge
is considerable and it might be
necessary to replace it.
When no light is on, you might find
the following scenarios:
• maintainer cables are disconnected;
• the battery is not duly connected to
vehicle system;
• the battery is faulty;
