Maintenance and Care
manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid (see "Refilling Table" in section
"Technical Specifications").
• Once the correct level is reached, firmly
close the cap.
The brake pads wear could cause the
fluid level to fall. However, low fluid 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 Quarts (1.2 liters) of washer fluid.
•
Lift the reservoir cap in the front
luggage compartment.
• Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to "Refilling
Table" in section "Technical
Specifications") 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.
