Maserati Grecale 2023 Interior Maintenance User Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the Maserati Grecale 2023 world, where luxury and performance converge. It is crucial to keep your interior spotless so that it continues to reflect your Maserati’s elegance and refinement as its owner of this exquisite vehicle. Maintaining your Grecale’s interior is essential for keeping it attractive and comfortable. Every component of the interior, from the plush leather seats to the sophisticated dashboard design, deserves particular care and attention. You can increase the interior of your Maserati’s lifespan while taking pleasure in a really opulent driving experience by adhering to a few essential maintenance procedures. A vital component of interior care is routine cleaning. Start by wiping away any loose dust or dirt with a microfiber cloth or soft-bristle brush. Pay special attention to any cracks or crannies where dirt likes to collect. Use a premium leather cleaner made especially for automotive purposes on leather surfaces. To get rid of any residue, gently apply the cleanser and wipe it off with a clean, moist cloth.

Finally, it’s crucial to pay close attention to how each inner component functions. Switches, knobs, and buttons should all be frequently tested for functionality, and any problems should be fixed right away to prevent future harm. Consult a licensed Maserati service center if you see any symptoms of wear or damage to ensure that any repairs or replacements are done correctly. You may continue to enjoy the grandeur and sophistication of your Maserati Grecale 2023 for many years to come by following these interior care guidelines. Your carefully maintained interior will continue to enthrall and excite you whether you go on thrilling drives or just enjoy the tranquility of its cabin.

Interior Maintenance and Care

Interior trim should be cleaned starting with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.
The leather upholstery can be best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and should be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils stains can be removed easily with a soft cloth and appropriate products. Avoid soaking the leather upholstery with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean your leather upholstery. Application of a leather conditioner is not required to maintain the original condition. Check at regular intervals that there is no water trapped under the mats (due to drips off shoes, umbrellas etc.) which may cause the metal parts to oxidize.

CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the instrument cluster’s transparent dome, the MIA display, the analogue clock and the leather upholstery. We recommended the use of “Car Care” products approved by Maserati for the maintenance and care of the interior.

Leather Upholstery Treatment
Have the leather upholstery only treated, as provided in the Scheduled Service Plan, by an Authorized Maserati Dealer which has the required specific products.

Parts in Premium Quality Wood
Remove any dirt with a buckskin leather or damp cloth.

Maserati Intelligent Assistant™ and Comfort Display Touch Screen

1. Do NOT attach any object to the touch screen, doing so can result in damage to the touch screen.
2. Do not touch the screen with any hard or sharp objects (pen, USB stick, jewelry, etc.) which could scratch the touch screen surface.
3. Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly on the screen! Use a clean and dry micro fibre lens cleaning cloth in order to clean the touch screen. If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened with a cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol, or an isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50. Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and directions.
4. Prevent any liquid from entering the system: this could damage it beyond repair.

NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with any information about the Maserati-approved “Microfiber Cloth”, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range.

Car Cleaning and Sanitizing
According to what is prescribed by the health authorities in each country, after using the car it is necessary to clean all surfaces that may have been touched by other people (example: steering wheel, transmission buttons, air vents, seat belts, keys, handles, etc.). To carry out this operation safely and correctly, trying to avoid possible damage to the internal surfaces of the car, here are some useful tips:

1. perform the operation if possible outdoors or in any case in a sufficiently ventilated area;
2. wear all personal safety devices: gloves, mask and goggles using new or sanitized devices;
3. clean the surfaces with a microfiber cloth moistened with an alcoholic sanitizing solution, avoiding to apply or spray said solution directly on the surface. The use of hydrogen peroxide, bleach and disinfectant is not recommended as they can develop too aggressive action on leather and plastic;
4. sanitize the vents that circulate the air in the passenger compartment;
5. vacuum the dust from the upholstery and the mats, or wash them with the appropriate detergent products.

A good habit to take is to always have clean hands, both before and after driving, as it will help to keep the steering wheel and other surfaces more frequently touched inside cleaner car.

Vehicle Stored for Long Periods

If the vehicle is going to be stored for long period of time, you need to check first the 12 V battery charge status and that of the 48 V battery on the MHEV models (see “Functions of Electric Vehicle Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”, or check the status on the “Hybrid Info” widget on the left digital dial). If the charge status of the 48 V battery is below 50% (value represented in picture), avoid stopping the engine in this condition, but keeping it running at idle in order to recharge the 48 V battery at least up to 50%, in the case of stops within 3 months, or 100% for longer stops.

After this check, follow the below precautions:

1. Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly.
2. Store the vehicle on a level surface in a covered, dry and, if possible, ventilated area.
3. Select P (Park) mode and turn off the engine.
4. Check that the parking brake is NOT engaged.
5. Disconnect the battery or connect a battery charger (refer to paragraph “Maintaining Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery Status and Maintenance” in this section).
6. Check the battery charge status. During parking, batterie’s charge status must be carried out every three weeks. Recharge the battery if the open circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
7. Check that the parking brake is NOT engaged.
8. Do not empty the engine cooling system.
9. Clean and protect the painted parts by applying protective wax.
10. Clean and protect polished metal parts with special products available on the market.
11. Cover the vehicle with a long cloth in breathable fabric (available from an Authorized Maserati Dealer). Do not use thick plastic sheets, which do not allow the humidity on the vehicle surface to evaporate.
12. Inflate the tires up to a pressure that must be 14.5 psi (1 bar) higher than the normally prescribed one, and check it at regular intervals.

NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with any information about the available “Indoor and Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range.

WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought back to the prescribed value before reusing the vehicle ( : chapter “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Technical Specifications”).

Restarting the Vehicle after a Long Inactivity

Before restarting the vehicle after a long period of inactivity, we recommend that you carry out the following operations.

1. Check the tires for pressure and for any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is the case, have them replaced.
2. Do not dry-rub the external surface of the vehicle: use a damp cloth.
3. Visually inspect if there are any fluid leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid, engine coolant etc.).
4. Have the engine oil and filter replaced.
5. Check the fluid levels in the brake system, as well as the engine coolant level.
6. Check the air filters and have them replaced if necessary.
7. Reconnect the battery after checking the charge status (refer to “Battery Status and Maintenance” in this section) and perform the initialising procedure if applicable.
8. With the transmission in N (Neutral) mode, let the engine idle for several minutes.

In this way, the pneumatic suspension system will be able to reach the operating pressure and lift the car to the Entry/Exit height (for further details, see “Drive Mode” in section “Starting and Driving”).

WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed outdoors. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which is strongly toxic and potentially lethal.
