Maintenance and Care
• wear all personal safety devices:
gloves, mask and goggles using new or
sanitized devices;
• 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;
• sanitize the vents that circulate the air
in the passenger compartment;
• 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 period of time, you need to
check first the 12 V battery charge
status and that of the 48 V battery on
the MHEV models (see "Functions
of Electric Vehicle Menu on MIA" in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls", or check the status on the
"Hybrid Info" widget on the left digital
dial). If the charge status of the 48 V
battery is below 50% (value represented
in picture), avoid stopping the engine in
this condition, but keeping it running at
idle in order to recharge the 48 V battery
at least up to 50%, in the case of stops
within 3 months, or 100% for longer
stops.
After this check, 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) mode 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, batterie's 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.
• Talc the wiper blades and raise them
from the windshield and rear windows.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth in
breathable fabric (available from the
Maserati Service Network). 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 1 bar (14.5 psi) higher than the
