tests, even on long distances.
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
To reduce the emissions of particulate
matter, the exhaust system is equipped
with a particulate filter optimized for the
back pressure and with a high filtration
efficiency.
This filter is maintenance-free and self-
regulating and therefore does not require
a regeneration procedure when using the
car. This performance made possible by
the improvement of the filtering support
between engine and silencer.
Spare Parts
Use of genuine parts for normal or
scheduled maintenance and repairs is
highly recommended to ensure excellent
performance.
Damage or failures caused by
non-genuine spare parts used for
maintenance and repairs will not be
covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Driving on the Track
To perform extreme experience,
maximum power and lightning gear
shifting on track, switch the drive mode
selector on the central tunnel in CORSA
mode. (see "Drive Mode" in this section).
NOTE:
Do not use the vehicle on track during
the break-in period.
WARNING!
•
Before using the vehicle on track,
consult an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer
before and after driving it in a track.
Before driving the car on the track and
pushing it to the limit is important to
make sure that all operating parameters
are correct by accessing to the "Vehicle"
status overview (see "Overview" in
chapter "Functions of My Car Menu
on MIA" in section "Instrument and
Controls").
Also check the engine, transmission and
brakes temperature on the instrument
cluster (see "Temperatures Display" in
chapter "Instrument Cluster Contents" in
section "Instrument and Controls").
During CORSA mode, in addiction to
the G-Meter display, a chronometer
management will be available on the
instrument cluster (see "Instrument
Cluster Contents" in section "Instrument
and Controls").
WARNING!
•
Track use refers to occasional track
use of the vehicle. This is a street
vehicle and is NOT intended for more
frequent and continuous use on the
track.
•
Always drive within your limits and
those of the car.
CAUTION!
•
After starting the car, drive along a first
straight section (at least 550 yd) at
constant speed to allow the traction
control and ABS system to calculate
the exactly available grip and the
diameter of the tires (the calculation
resets at each engine stop).
