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 (or equivalent)
and the prescribed fluids. Shall this
not be the case, do not carry out any
operation on your own and contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on-board 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
section "Instruments and Controls").
The system stores as well diagnostic
codes and other information to assist
your service technician by performing
repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.
