Maserati Quattroporte 2023 Interior Care User Manual

Introduction

The interior of the Quattroporte is made of high-end components like premium leather, fine wood veneers, and polished metal accents, all of which need particular care to maintain their beauty. When it comes to interior care, keep in mind the following important factors:

• Routine Cleaning: Routine vacuuming and dusting will help keep the interior surfaces free of dirt, dust, and debris. Surfaces like seats, the dashboard, the console, and the door panels can all be cleaned delicately using a soft brush or microfiber cloth.
• Leather Care: The Quattroporte’s leather interior needs to be properly taken care of to keep its supple and opulent feel. Make use of leather conditioner and cleaner made especially for auto leather. To keep the leather moisturized and stop it from drying out or cracking, apply the cleaner with a soft cloth and then follow it up with a conditioner.
• Wood Veneer Care: The Quattroporte’s interior features elegant wood veneer accents. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust to keep them looking their best; stay away from abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could harm the finish.
• Metal Accents Care: The interior of the Quattroporte has polished metal accents that are susceptible to fingerprints and smudges. To ensure a shiny and spotless appearance, use a non-abrasive metal cleaner and a soft cloth to gently polish and remove any marks.
• Upholstery Protection: To prevent spills and stains, think about spraying the seats and carpets with a fabric or leather protectant. These safeguards establish a barrier that facilitates spill cleanup and helps maintain the interior’s original state.
• Sun protection: Direct sunlight exposure can fade interior surfaces and harm them. Use window coverings or shaded parking spaces whenever you can to shield your Quattroporte’s upholstery and dashboard from damaging UV rays.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: When cleaning the interior, stay away from ammonia-based products, abrasive cleaners, and harsh chemicals. These have the potential to harm materials’ surfaces and lower their quality.
• Detailing: Take into account hiring a pro to detail your Quattroporte on a regular basis. Detailing services can provide a thorough interior clean and restoration, guaranteeing a showroom-quality appearance.

You can take pleasure in the opulent and chic atmosphere of the Maserati Quattroporte 2023 for years to come by adhering to these interior care suggestions and setting aside time for routine maintenance. This will guarantee that every ride is a pleasure in a meticulously cared-for interior.

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 periods of time, follow the below precautions:

• Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly.
• Store the vehicle on a level surface in a covered, dry and, if possible, ventilated area.
• Select P (Park) and turn off the engine.
• Check that the parking brake is NOT engaged.
• Disconnect the battery or connect a battery charger (refer to paragraph
  “Maintaining Battery Charge” of chapter “Battery Status and Maintenance” in this section).
• During parking, battery charge status must be carried out every three weeks. Recharge the battery if the open circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V.
  Do not empty the engine cooling system.
• Clean and protect the painted parts applying protective wax.
• Clean and protect polished metal parts with special products available on the market.
• 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.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure which 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 initializing 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.
