information on battery care and
maintenance.
NOTE:
The Maserati Service Network can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved "Battery

WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times:
•
always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilated
environment;
•
never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen: it can explode due
to hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals;
•
ensure that any sparks or open
flames are nowhere near the battery
while it is charging;
•
before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
A/C System Maintenance
For best performances, the air
conditioning system should be checked
and serviced by the Service Network at
the beginning of the warm season.
This service should include cleaning of
the condenser fins and a performance
test. Drive belt tension should also be
checked at this time.
During the winter, the air conditioning
system should be operated at least
once a month for about 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air
conditioning system as the chemicals
can damage your air conditioning
components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
WARNING!
•
Use only refrigerants and
compressor lubricants approved
by the manufacturer for your
air conditioning system. Some
refrigerants are flammable and
can explode, causing injuries.
