Maintenance Procedures
The following pages contain the
“required” maintenance standards
determined by Maserati engineers.
Besides those maintenance items
specified in the “Scheduled Service
Plan”, there are other components
which may require service or
replacement in the future.
To perform most of the services, it is
necessary to open the hood (see
“Open and Close the Hood” in section
“Before Starting”).
The following images show the
position of all components involved in
the maintenance service.
CAUTION!
• Failure to properly maintain your
vehicle or perform repairs and
service when necessary could result
in more costly repairs, damage to
other components or negatively
impact vehicle performance.
Immediately have potential
malfunctions examined by an
Authorized Maserati Dealeror a
qualified repair center.
• Your vehicle has been equipped with
improved fluids that protect the
performance and durability of yourvehicle and also allow extended
maintenance intervals. Do not use
chemical flushes for washing as the
chemicals can damage your engine,
transmission, power steering or air
conditioning. Such damages are not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. If a flush is needed
because of component malfunction,
use only a specific product for the
flushing procedure.

Level Checks
ENVIRONMENTAL!
•The engine oils and fluids used
contain substances that are
dangerous for the environment. For
replacement you are advised to
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer, where all the necessary
equipment is available to dispose of
the used oil and fluids in compliance
with the regulations in force and in
an environment-friendly manner.
•All equipment used for fluids
replacement (gloves, cloths,
containers, etc) must be disposed in
compliance with the regulations in
force.
Engine Coolant Level Check
Your vehicle has been equipped with
an improved engine coolant
(antifreeze) that offers high protection
against corrosion, freezing and allows
extended maintenance intervals. To
prevent reducing extended
maintenance periods, it is important to
use original engine coolant
(antifreeze) when adding coolant
throughout the life of your vehicle.

• Return the cap and dipstick to their
position and wait for a few minutes
to allow the oil to reach the oil pan.
• Check the level again.
After topping up, the
engine oil
level warning light may not go off for
some time while the system is
performing the necessary checks. This
is normal.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be
replaced with a new filter at every oil
change.
Contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerto perform this service.
Automatic Transmission Oil Check
Contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerfor the oil level check.
Power Steering Fluid Level Check
With the vehicle on a level ground
and the engine cold, check the fluid
level of the power steering reservoir.
• To carry out the check, unscrew the
cap, clean the dipstick with a dry and
clean cloth.
• Retighten the cap then unscrew it
again and check the level: it should
match the “MAX” notch marked on
the dipstick. In hot oil conditions,the level may even exceed the
“MAX” notch.
• If necessary, top up with fluid
making sure that it has the same
characteristics as the one already
used in the system (refer to
“Refillings” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
CAUTION!
Make sure that the power steering
fluid does not come in touch with the
engine hot parts as it is flammable.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Contact anAuthorized Maserati
Dealerto have the air filters replaced.
Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the wipers in
an active position (right multifunction
lever in any position different than
“OFF”) and with the key in the
ignition switch in the MAR (ON)
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions
are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodically
with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
