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”).

CAUTION

1. 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 checked by an Authorized Maserati Dealer or a qualified repair center.
2. Your vehicle has been equipped with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals. Do not use chemical flushes for washing as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, electric 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

1. 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 environmentally-friendly manner.
2. All equipment used for fluids replacement (gloves, cloths, containers, etc) must be disposed of 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. When adding engine coolant (antifreeze) use pure water only, such as distilled or deionized water when mixing the water/engine coolant (antifreeze) solution. The use of impure water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system.

Mix a minimum solution of 50% engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water. Use higher concentrations (do not exceed 70%) if temperatures below− 35°F (−37°C) are forecasted. (see : “Refilings Table” in section “In an Emergency”) Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of protection against freezing according to the temperatures occurring in the circulation area of the vehicle. The coolant reservoirs provide a quick visual method to determine that the coolant level is adequate. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory, the coolant reservoirs only need to be checked once a month. With the engine off and cold, the level of the coolant in the reservoir on the left and right side of the engine compartment should be between the ranges indicated on the reservoir and inside the filler neck.

1. When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant reservoir after removing the cap. Do not overfill.
2. Once the desired level is reached, reassemble and firmly close cap of the reservoir.
3. If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are required, or if the level in the coolant recovery reservoirs does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system should be tested by an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
4. Keep the front of the radiator and the condenser clean.

WARNING

1. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is hot. Do not loosen or remove the cap of the engine coolant reservoir to cool a hot engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pressure cap while the system is hot or under pressure.
2. When adding coolant do not use a pressure cap other than the one specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or engine damage may result.

Brake Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level immediately if the brake system warning light (United States market) or (Canadian market) and the related message turn on indicating a low level of brake fluid.

1. Remove the brakes fluid reservoir access cover.
2. Clean the top of the master cylinder reservoir before removing the cap.
3. Add fluid to bring the level up to the “MAX” mark on the side of the master cylinder reservoir. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid (see : “Refilling Table” in section “In an Emergency”).
4. Once the correct level is reached, firmly close the cap.

Normal brake pad wear could cause the fluid level to fall. However, the low fluid level may be caused by a leak too, and requires accurate checkup of the braking system.
If necessary, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.

CAUTION!
The symbol on the tank cap identifies the synthetic type of brake fluid, distinguishing it from the mineral type. Using mineral fluids damages the special rubber linings of the brake system irreparably.

CAUTION

1. To avoid contamination from foreign materials or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container. Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times.
2. Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid. Brake fluid can also damage painted and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does not spill over these surfaces.
3. Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged.

Adding Windshield Washer Fluid
The reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment contains the fluid to wash the windshield and the window liftgate.
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 4,33 Quarts (4,1 liters) of washer fluid.

1. Lift the reservoir cap in the engine compartment.
   
2. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (refer to “Refilling Table” in the section “Technical Specifications) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.
3. 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.

WARNING

1. 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 washer system.
2. Do not drive with the windshield washer reservoir empty: the action of the washer is essential for improving visibility when driving.

Engine Oil Level Check
To assure proper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level.
If the warning light illuminates and the related message of low oil level displays, or during scheduled services (see “Scheduled Maintenance Service” in this section) it is necessary to check the engine oil level. The engine is equipped with a sensor that can detect the oil level which can be viewed on the MIA display by entering the “Vehicle” menu and choosing the “Oil Level” submenu in the “Functions of MyCar Menu on MIA”. A critical condition (e.g.: critical level, oil sensor failure, etc.) is signaled by the lighting of the dedicated warning light and by pop-up messages (see “Instrument Cluster Pop-Up Messages” in the section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The vehicle should be parked on level ground and then follow the instructions on the MIA display.

CAUTION

1. Do not top up with oil with different characteristics than the engine one (refer to : “Refilling Table” in the section “In an Emergency”).
2. Overfilling or underfilling the sump will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine.
3. Do not add any supplemental materials to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product, and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.

NOTE:
A Dipstick check is only allowed by the Authorized Maserati Dealer (not a reference for oil level check).

1. The oil level should maintain between the “min” and “max” marks indicated at the ends of the bar of the “Oil Level” submenu (refer to : “Refilings Table” in section “In an Emergency”).
2. If  refilling is necessary: unscrew the filler neck cap.
3. Adding 1 Quart/1 liter (3.0 V6 Engine) of oil when the level is at the bottom of the Safe range will result in the level being at the top of the SAFE range.
4. Return the cap to his position and wait for a few minutes to allow the oil to reach the sump.
5. Check the level again.

Engine Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter at every oil change. Contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer to perform this service.
Automatic Transmission Oil Check Contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for the oil level check.

Fluid Level Check for Transmission Cooling System
The coolant contained in the reservoir of this system is the same as the one used for the cooling system of the engine. For the preparation of the mixture of water and antifreeze and for the control of the level, proceed as shown in the “Engine Coolant Level Check” of this chapter.

Engine Air Filters Replacement
Contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the air filters replaced.

A/C Air Filter Replacement
Contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the A/C air filter replaced.

Wiper Maintenance and Blades Replacement

Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting
When the windshield wiper arms are in rest position it is not possible to check or replace the blades as they remain under the engine hood.
To service the blades it is necessary to move the wiper arms in “Service” position. To activate this function, deactivate the windscreen wiper (ring in position 0) before setting the ignition device to STOP. This function can only be activated within 2 minutes of setting the ignition device to STOP. To activate this function, move the lever upwards (unstable position) for at least three seconds.

In this way it is possible to lift the arms for cleaning or replacing the wiper blades.
If, after using the function, the ignition device is set back to ON with the blades in a position other than rest position (at the base of the windscreen), they will only return to rest position following a command given using the stalk (stalk upwards, into unstable position) or when a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) is exceeded.

WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service the wiper blades with the windshield wipers in an active position (any position different from “0”) and with the ignition device in the ON position. The rain sensors may suddenly activate the wipers. Always use the “Service” position for any intervention on the windshield wiper blades.

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 on the glass, 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/rear window glasses 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. 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 tank (see paragraph “Level checks” in this section) then check that the nozzles are not clogged.

Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement

1. Move the wiper arms into “Service” position, (see “Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting” in this section) and lift them.
2. Press the indicated button, slip off the blade support from the arm and replace it.
3. Return the blade to its original position on the windshield.
4. Turn the multifunction lever to one of the automatic settings (see chapter
   “Wipers and Washers Control” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”) and move the ignition device in ON position: the wiper arms will return to the resting position.

NOTE:
Due to the difficulty of this operation, we recommend that you contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for replacement of the blades.

Rear Window Blade Replacement

1. To replace the rear window wiper blade on the liftgate, remove the cap at the bottom of the wiper arm.
2. Lift the wiper arm with blade up to the stop position
   
3. Turn the blade to the position indicated in the figure.
4. Hold the arm steady and pull the blade, by holding it from the central support, until it is removed.
5. Replace the blade.
6. Insert the pivot, present inside the blade central support, in the fork-shaped end of the arm until hearing the click indicating that it is engaged.
   
7. Stretch the arm and put the blade back in contact with the liftgate window repositioning the cap at the bottom of the wiper arm.
