WARNING: If you need to disconnect
the battery, wait at least 30 seconds
from the last seat movement.
If disconnecting the battery before,
you will have to run the initialisation
procedure described on page 105.
The fl uid contained in the
battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with
the skin and eyes. Do not approach
the battery with open fl ames or
possible sources of sparks: risk of
explosion and fi re!
Batteries contain substances that are
very harmful for the environment. To
replace the battery, please contact
the Maserati Service Network, where
the battery will be disposed of in full
compliance with the regulations in
force and in an environment-friendly
manner.
WARNING: Incorrect assembly of
electrical and electronic accessories
can cause serious damage to the
vehicle.
Useful hints for extending the
life of the battery
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, luggage and engine
compartments are properly closed. All
interior lights should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices on for a
long time (e.g. the radio, the hazard
warning lights, the fan, etc.).
WARNING: If the battery charge
remains below 50% for a long
period of time, it will be damaged
due to sulphating; this will reduce
its performance and starting power
and the battery will be more subject
to freezing (this can happen even at
-10°C).
We recommend that you have the
battery charge condition checked,
preferably at the beginning of the
cold season, to prevent the electrolyte
from freezing.
This check should be performed more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even if when the
ignition key is removed. This applies
above all in the event of after-market
devices.
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please refer to the
chapter “If the vehicle is stored for
long periods”, in this section.
WARNING: If additional systems have
to be fi tted in the vehicle, there is the
risk of creating dangerous branches
on the electric wiring, in particular if
safety devices are involved.
