Scheduled Maintenance Service

Correct maintenance is clearly the best way to guarantee vehicle performance and safety functions, ensure respect for the environment and low operating costs.

NOTE:
Also remember that the observance of the maintenance procedures is essential for keeping your vehicle operating properly. Not adhering to the “Scheduled Service Plan” can impact your vehicle’s warranty.

Interval Running Coupons
Maserati has therefore provided for a series of checks and maintenance operations involving the 1st service and subsequent when the vehicle reaches mileage/years reported on the “Scheduled Service Plan” in this section. After the last service, maintenance must be restarted with the operations scheduled for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd service.

CAUTION!
The Scheduled Maintenance services are prescribed by the Manufacturer. Failure to have the services carried out can affect your warranty.

The Scheduled Maintenance service is provided by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. In the event that, when a service is performed, further replacements or repairs are found to be necessary in addition to the scheduled operations, these can be carried out only with the specific consent of the Customer.

CAUTION!
You are advised to notify the Authorized Maserati Dealer of any minor operating problem, without waiting for the next scheduled service.

NOTE:

1. Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time or short trips without reaching operating temperatures. Even the use of the vehicle with extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures and with a trailer tow may make more frequent engine oil changes necessary.
2. Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed mileage/years reported on the “Scheduled Service Plan” in this section.

CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

Scheduled Maintenance (Service) Indicator
The service indicator system will remind you the deadline for the maintenance program.
The indicator ligh on the instrument cluster flashes for approx. 5 seconds displaying the message backed by a beeping sound, indicating that the next scheduled maintenance is due or has already overdue.

When the scheduled maintenance has overdue, the indicator light  and message will be displayed on the instrument cluster.

The service indicator and message will illuminate approximately 620 mi (1000 km) or 30 days to the next scheduled maintenance.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.

NOTE:
The service indicator will not monitor the time elapsed from the last scheduled maintenance.

To check the mi/km and the days that remain at the inspiration of the next scheduled maintenance, consult the “Maintenance” submenu of the “Vehicle Info” main menu (see paragraph ”TFT Display: Menu and Submenu Content” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for more details). An Authorized Maserati Dealer will reset the service indicator message after completing the scheduled maintenance operations.

Scheduled Service Plan

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done within the times or mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in operating conditions, such as dusty areas, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also
be done anytime a malfunction is suspected. Maserati recommends that these maintenance intervals be performed at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. The technicians at your dealership know your vehicle best and have access to factory-approved information, genuine Maserati parts, and specially designed electronic and mechanical tools that can help prevent future costly repairs.

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Use
If the car is mainly used under one of the following conditions:

1. towing a trailer;
2. off-road;
3. short, repeated journeys (less than 4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside temperatures;
4. the engine often idling or driving long distances at low speeds or long periods of idleness;

you should perform the following inspections more frequently than recommended on the “Scheduled Service Plan”:

1. check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
2. check the cleanliness of hood and trunk locks, cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
3. visually inspect conditions of the engine, transmission, pipes, and hoses (exhaust – fuel system – brakes) and rubber elements (boots – sleeves – bushes -etc.);
4. check battery charge;
5. visually inspect the condition of the accessory drive belts;
6. check and, if necessary, change the engine oil and replace the oil filter;
7. check and, if necessary, replace the pollen filter of the A/C system;
8. check and, if necessary, replace the air cleaner filter.

CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the vehicle must be carried out by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. For routine and minor maintenance operations which you can carry out yourself, make sure that you have the necessary experience and always use suitable equipment, original Maserati spare parts, and the prescribed fluids. Shall this not be the case, do not carry any operation on your own and contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. 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 suited to current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light on the instrument cluster display (refer to “Warning and Indicator Lights” in the section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The system stores as well diagnostic codes and other information to assist your service technician in performing repairs. Although the vehicle will be driveable and will not need towing, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION

1. Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause further damage to the emissions control system. It could also affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions tests can be performed.
2. If the MIL  is flashing while the engine is running, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss could occur. Immediate service at an Authorized Maserati Dealer is required.

Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration. For states that require an Inspection and Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the “Malfunction Indicator Light ” is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is ready for testing. Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system should be determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test. To check if your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready, you must do the following:

1. Press the ignition device to the RUN position, but do not crank or start the engine.
2. As soon as you press the ignition device to turn the engine On, you will see the MIL remain illuminated for 15 seconds, this is a normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:
   1. The MIL  will remain illuminated and a message error will appear on your instrument cluster. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.
   2. The MIL  will turn Off. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an Authorized Maserati Dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready. Regardless of whether your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL  is on with the engine running.

Spare Parts
The use of genuine Maserati 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.

Dealer Service
An Authorized Maserati Dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner. Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these Service Manuals before attempting any procedure yourself. Intentional tampering with emissions control systems may void your warranty and could result in civil penalties.

WARNING!
You could be injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
