Windshield Wipers and
Washers
The multifunction lever on the
right-hand side of the steering column
operates the windshield wipers and
washer when the key in the ignition
switch is turned inMAR (ON)position.
The windshield washer and headlight
washer share the same fluid reservoir,
and a low fluid level is indicated by the
same warning light and by the
message on the instrument cluster.
To refill the fluid, see “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”.
Windshield Wipers
Starting from the not-active position
"OFF", the right-hand multifunction
lever can be moved downward (threestable positions) or upward (one
unstable position).
AUTOAutomatic operation. In this
position the rain sensor
adapts the windshield wiper
frequency to the intensity of
the rain.
1Slow continuous operation.
2Fast continuous operation.
– Fast temporary operation by
pushing the multifunction
lever upward.
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when
driving through an automatic car
wash. The windshield wipers may bedamaged if the wiper control is left
in any position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the windshield wiper
blades from returning to the off
position. If the windshield wiper
control is turned off and the blades
cannot return to the off position, the
wiper motor may be damaged.

Windshield Washers and
Headlight Washers
To use the washer, pull toward the
steering wheel the right-hand
multifunction lever (toward the
steering wheel) and hold it as long as
washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for a few wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected
intermittent interval.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off (OFF)
the wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off.WARNING!
•Do not start the windshield washer
during the cold months until the
windshield has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.
•Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden
icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

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.

Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The reservoir on the left side of the
engine compartment contains the
fluid to wash the windshield and
headlights.
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer
fluid appears together with the
related telltale add more fluid as
soon as possible.
The fluid reservoir may contain nearly
1.58 US gallons (6 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck extension.
• Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to “Refillings”
in section "Features and
Specifications") and operate thesystem for a few seconds to flush out
the residual water.
• When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield washer system in cold
weather, select a solution or mixture
that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate.
This rating information can be found
on most washer fluid containers.
NOTE:
TheAuthorized Maserati Dealercan
provide you with information about
the “Maserati recommended
Windshield Washer Fluid” with
antifreeze, available in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
•Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable.
They could ignite and burn you.
Care must be exercised when filling
or when working around the
windshield/headlight washer
system.•Do not drive with the windshield/
headlight washer reservoir empty:
the action of the washer is essential
for improving visibility when
driving.

Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the pan (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Blades Replacement
• Move the right multifunction lever
into “OFF” position, (see chapter
“Windshield Wipers and Washers” in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Lift the end of the arm provided with
the blade from the windshield.
• Rotate the blade on the arm in order
to access the release latch, shown in
the detail of picture.
• Press the release latch to free the
blade.
• Turn and slip off the blade from the
arm and replace it.• Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.
NOTE:
Due to the difficulty of this operation,
we recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealerfor
replacement of the blades.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
trunk lid and hood, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based
grease, to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear.
Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil andgrease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear
driver door pillar should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and
Spring. Apply a small amount of high
quality lubricant directly into the lock
cylinder.
