Maintenance and Care
• Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to “Refillings
Table” in this section) 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/headlight 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.
NOTE:
The Maserati Service Network
can provide you with information
about the Maserati recommended
“Windshield Washer Fluid”, available
in the “Genuine Accessories” catalog.
WARNING!
•
Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable.
They could ignite and burn you.
Care must be exercised when
filling or when working around the
windshield/headlight washer system.
•
Do not drive with the windshield/
headlight washer reservoir empty:
the action of the washer is essential
for improving visibility when driving.
Engine Oil Level Check
To assure proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the
warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled
services (see “Scheduled Maintenance
Service” in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The engine of the
MHEV model is not
equipped with oil level dipstick but
there is a sensor that can detect the
oil level which can be viewed on the
TFT display by entering the "Vehicle
Info" menu and choosing the "Engine
Oil" submenu. A critical condition
(e.g.: critical level, oil sensor failure,
etc.) is segnaled by the lighting of
the dedicated warning light and by
pop up messages (see "TFT Display:
Menu and Submenu Content" in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
The best time to check the engine
oil level is about five minutes after a
fully warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings.
CAUTION!
•
Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings Table” in this
section).
