wax 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.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.
Maintenance and Care
7
256

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 theedges of the rear, lateral brand
symbol with tape, to prevent it from
being detached by the revolving
brushes.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instrument that may
scratch the electric elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducinglight output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not use
any other equipment such as
brushes, steel wool, abrasives or any
other equipment for cleaning.
• After cleaning, please rinse the
aluminum trim with a lot of clear
water.
• While cleaning in the car, please
make sure that the moldings and
aluminum trims only get in contact
with soft brushes or textiles.

that all the electrical/electronic
systems in the vehicle work efficiently.
Maintaining Battery Charge
If you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 miles/16 km), which
correspond to an annual total of 4000
miles/6000 km, or when the vehicle is
not going to be used for one week or
more, Maserati recommends
connecting the vehicle to a battery
charger, to save you the trouble of
having to recharge the battery (see
“Battery Charge Maintainer
Operation” in this chapter).
The battery charge maintainer will
keep the battery charged properly and
at the correct voltage levels required
by the systems and devices in the
vehicle.
Before using the battery charge
maintainer, carefully follow the
instructions provided.
If you do not use a battery charge
maintainer to prevent the battery
from going dead when you are not
going to use the vehicle for long
periods of time, you need to check
and recharge the battery at least once
every three weeks. Make this check if
you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 mi/16 km) which
correspond to an annual total of 4000miles/6000 km. Please note that
allowing the battery to go dead
repeatedly can cause premature wear
on the internal cells and greatly
reduce their life, leading to problems
with the ignition system and other
electrical/electronic systems.
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealeris
available to advise you on how to
recharge your battery correctly and
give you useful information on battery
care and maintenance.
NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved “Battery
Charger and Conditioner”, available in
the “Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times:
•always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilated
environment;•never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen: it can explode due
to hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals;
•ensure that any sparks or open
flames are nowhere near the battery
while it is charging;
•before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.

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;
