Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to stone
breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching
the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove
road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the Light
Clusters
With cold or humid climate, after
a driving rain or after cleaning the
car, the surface of the front and rear
light clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This
is a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity difference
between the lens internal and external
surface, which nevertheless does
not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappear when switching on the lights,
starting from the center of the diffuser
and going gradually to the edges.
Mouldings and Aluminium Trim
• For cleaning mouldings and aluminium
trim, avoid the use of acidic or alkanline
cleaning agents that can destroy the
protecting surface treatment.
• After washing aluminium trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning agent
with a clean tissue or a soft sponge
on the surface. Do not use any other
equipment such as brushes, steel wool,
abrasives or any other equipment for
cleaning.
• After cleaning, please rinse the
aluminium trim with a lot of clear water.
• While cleaning in the car wash please
make sure that the mouldings and
aluminium trim only gets contact with
soft brushes or textiles.
Carbon Fiber
• Before cleaning visible carbon fiber,
always test cleaning solution on hidden
zones. Clean with a opaque dashboard
cleaner. For further information, please
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Do not use products abrasives or
polishes.
•
Have small scratches and marks on
the carbon structure removed by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer. Improper
operations may irreparably damage the
carbon parts.
CAUTION!
Do not use aggressive organic
substances, such as: petrol kerosene,
petroleum acetone or solvents.
Engine Compartment (for MC20 model)
At the end of each winter season,
carefully wash the engine compartment,
remembering to avoid directing the jet of
water for too long on the electric parts.
CAUTION!
Do not directly wash with high
pressure water the engine to avoid the
malfunction of the ignition system.
To perform this operation, you must
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
