Maintenance and Care
level may be caused by a leak and
a requires accurate checkup of the
braking system.
CAUTION!
The symbol on the tank cap
identifies the synthetic type of brake
fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral type. Using mineral fluids
damages the special rubber linings of
the brake system irreparably.
NOTE:
• To avoid contamination from foreign
materials or moisture, use only new
brake fluid or fluid that has been in
a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap secured
at all times.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid.
Brake fluid can also damage painted
and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does
not spill over these surfaces.
• Do not allow petroleum based fluid
to contaminate the brake fluid. Brake
seal components could be damaged.
Brake Fluid Replacement
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the brake fluid
replaced.
Adding Windshield Washer Fluid
The reservoir on the left side of the
luggage compartment contains the
fluid to wash the windshield.
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer
fluid appears, add more fluid as soon
as possible.
The fluid reservoir may contain nearly
0.264 UK gal (1.2 litres) of washer
fluid.
• Lift the reservoir cap in the engine
compartment.
• Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to "Refillings
Table" in this section) and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush
out the residual water.
• When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield washer system in cold
weather, select a solution or mixture
that meets or exceeds the temperature
range of your climate.
This rating information can be found
on most washer fluid containers.
WARNING!
•
Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable. They
could ignite and burn you. Care must
be exercised when filling or when
working around the windshield
washer system.
•
Do not drive with the windshield
washer reservoir empty: the action
of the washer is essential for
improving visibility when driving.
Engine Oil Level Check
To assure proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level. If
the warning light illuminates and
the related message of low oil level
displays, or during scheduled services
(see "Scheduled Maintenance Service"
in this section) it is necessary to check
the engine oil level.
