Use of the Engine

Breaking-In
Today’s most modern production methods are designed to provide extremely precise construction and assembly of components. However, moving parts do undergo a settling process, basically in the first hours of vehicle operation.
Do not drive keeping at a constant high speed rate for a prolonged time.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, see “Refilling Table” in section “Maintenance and Care”.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of malfunction.

Specific Requirements
Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first 620 mi trip (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has warmed up sufficiently (coolant temperature:
149-158 °F /65 70 °C).

While Driving
Never travel with the tachometer indicator approaching the peak rpm, not even downhill. When the tachometer indicator is approaching the peak rpm (red colored zone), take precautions to avoid exceeding that limit.

Ensure proper operation of different devices checking their respective control telltales.

CAUTION!
Under normal conditions, all red warning lights on the instrument cluster display should be off. When they come on, they indicate a malfunction. Refer to “Warning and Indicator Lights” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.

WARNING!
Continuing to drive when a red warning light is on could cause serious damage to the vehicle and affect its performance.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated on-board diagnostic system. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems. When these systems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions well within current local regulations of various countries.
If any of these systems require service, the system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes and other information to assist which your Authorized Maserati Dealer will use to service your vehicle. Although the vehicle will still be drivable and not need towing, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

• Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause further damage to the emissions control system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability. The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions tests can be performed.
• If the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is flashing while the engine is running, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss could occur. Immediate service is required at an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
• After the problem has been solved, the Authorized Maserati Dealer personnel will perform specific tests on the test bench for a complete check of the system and, if necessary, also road tests, even on long distances.

Spare Parts
Use of genuine parts for normal or scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to ensure excellent performance.
Damage or failures caused by non-genuine spare parts used for maintenance and repairs will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
