Maintenance and Care
With the engine off and cold, the level
of the coolant in the reservoir should
be between the ranges indicated on
the reservoir.
• When additional engine coolant
(antifreeze) is needed to maintain
the proper level, it should be added
to the coolant reservoir after
removing the cap. Do not overfill.
• Once the desired level is reached,
firmly close cap of the reservoir.
• If frequent engine coolant
(antifreeze) additions are required, or
if the level in the coolant recovery
reservoir does not drop when the
engine cools, the cooling system
should be pressure tested for leaks by
an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
• Keep the front of the radiator and
the condenser clean.
WARNING!
•
Never add engine coolant
(antifreeze) when the engine is hot.
Do not loosen or remove the cap of
the engine coolant reservoir to cool a
hot engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not
remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
•
When adding coolant do not use
a pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
CAUTION!
Do not pour coolant on the engine to
avoid the malfunction of the ignition
system.
Brake Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level immediately
if the brake system warning light
(United States market) or
(Canadian market) and the related
message turn on indicating a low level
of brake fluid.
• Remove the brakes fluid reservoir
access cover.
• Clean the top of the master cylinder
area before removing the cap.
• Add fluid to bring the level up to
the "MAX" mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir. Use only
manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid (see "Refillings Table" in this
section).
• Once the correct level is reached,
firmly close the cap.
The brake pads wear could cause the
fluid level to fall. However, low fluid
