Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you operate
the controls (chapter "External
Lights Controls" chapter in section
"Instruments and Controls").
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (chapter "Warning and Indicator
Lights" in section "Instruments and
Controls").
Door Latches
• Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking of doors and trunk lid (see
specific chapters).
Fluid Leaks
• Check area under vehicle after
overnight parking for recent fluid leaks
(oil, fuel, etc.).
• If fuel fumes are detected or fluid leaks
are suspected, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
Car Cleaning and Sanitizing
According to what is prescribed by the
health authorities in each country, after
using the car it is necessary to clean all
surfaces that may have been touched by
other people (example: steering wheel,
transmission buttons, air vents, seat
belts, keys, handles, etc.).
To carry out this operation safely and
correctly, trying to avoid possible
damage to the internal surfaces of the
car, here are some useful tips:
• perform the operation if possible
outdoors or in any case in a sufficiently
ventilated area;
• wear all personal safety devices:
gloves, mask and goggles using new or
sanitized devices;
• clean the surfaces with a microfiber
cloth moistened with an alcoholic
sanitizing solution, avoiding to apply
or spray said solution directly on
the surface. The use of hydrogen
peroxide, bleach and disinfectant is not
recommended as they can develop
too aggressive action on leather and
plastic;
• check the air conditioning filter and
sanitize the vents that circulate the air
in the passenger compartment;
• vacuum the dust from the upholstery
and the mats, or wash them with the
appropriate detergent products.
A good habit to take, is to always
have clean hands, both before and
after driving, as it will help to keep the
steering wheel and other surfaces more
frequently touched inside cleaner car.
Keys
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronic key with a Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter, synthetically
called "key fob", to enter and protect the
vehicle.
The key fob communicates with a
Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) positioned
on the steering wheel left side, through
which it is possible to switch on the
vehicle instrumentation and start the
engine (see “Ignition Device” in this
section).
The vehicle is provided with two
programmed key fobs.
In addition to the RKE transmitter the key
fob also contains a metal insert with the
function of emergency key.You can keep
the emergency key with you when using
valet parking. For use of emergency key
see “Get into the Car” in this section.
WARNING!

When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
