A/C System Maintenance
For best performances, the air
conditioning system should be checked
and serviced by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer at the beginning of the warm
season.
This service should include cleaning of
the condenser fins and a performance
test.
During the winter, the air conditioning
system should be operated at least once
a month for about 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air
conditioning system as the chemicals
can damage your air conditioning
components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
WARNING!
•
Use only refrigerants and compressor
lubricants approved by the
manufacturer for your air conditioning
system. Some unapproved refrigerants
are flammable and can explode,
causing injuries. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause
the system to fail, requiring costly
repairs.
•
The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid risk of personal injury or damage
to the system, adding refrigerant
or any repair requiring lines to be
disconnected should be done by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Periodically remove any leaves and
insects that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of the
hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in "Access the Luggage
Compartment" in section "Before
Driving".
