Maserati Levante 2023 Interior Maintenance User Manual

Introduction

Here at Maserati Levante 2023, we combine luxury with performance. To keep your Maserati Levante’s interior comfortable and elegant over time, regular maintenance is essential. In this manual, we’ll go over the crucial facets of interior upkeep that will enable you to keep your Maserati Levante in immaculate shape. The Maserati Levante 2023’s inside is a work of art, with high-end materials and painstaking attention to every last detail. Every component screams luxury and refinement, from the plush leather seats to the gorgeous wood and metal embellishments. Regular upkeep and attention are required to preserve this opulent atmosphere. The most important thing to keep the interior of your Maserati Levante looking beautiful is routine cleaning. Cleaning the surfaces with a soft, microfiber cloth will remove dust and avoid scratches, while vacuuming the carpets and upholstery will get rid of dirt and debris. Use only specialized cleaning and conditioning products made for the materials used in the interior of your car, such as leather or Alcantara.

Consider utilizing sunshades or window tints to shield the interior from excessive sunshine and heat to preserve the upholstery and avoid fading. When feasible, park your Maserati Levante in places with shade to reduce potential UV radiation damage. Finally, it’s important to keep the inside atmosphere light and inviting. To guarantee fresh and odor-free airflow, replace the cabin air filters on a regular basis. The driving experience can be improved and a welcome environment can be created by using air fresheners made exclusively for cars. You can make sure that your Maserati Levante 2023 continues to be a refuge of luxury and comfort for many years to come by adhering to these interior care suggestions. Keep in mind that a well-kept interior conveys your appreciation for life’s finer things and keeps the true spirit of Maserati’s excellent craftsmanship.

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. The 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 analog 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 damp cloth.

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

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 fiber 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 lever , 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. check the air conditioning filter and 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 periods of time, 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) and turn off the engine.
4. Disconnect the battery or connect a battery charger (refer to paragraph “Maintaining Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery Status and Maintenance” in this section).
5. Check the battery charge status. During parking, this check must be carried out every three weeks. Recharge the battery if the open circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
6. Check that the parking brake is NOT engaged.
7. Do not empty the engine cooling system.
8. Clean and protect the painted parts by applying protective wax.
9. Clean and protect polished metal parts with special products available on the market.
10. 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.
11. 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 using the vehicle again ( : 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 initializing procedure if applicable.
8. With the transmission in N (Neutral), 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 Modes” in the section “Starting and Driving”).

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