Restarting the vehicle
Before restarting the vehicle after
a long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you perform the
following operations:
Check the tire pressure and
that there are no damage,
cuts or cracks on the tires. If
this is the case, have them replaced.
- Do not dry-dust the exterior of the
vehicle.
- Visually inspect if there are any
fluid leaks (e.g., oil, brake and
clutch fluid, engine coolant etc.).
- Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
- Check the fluid levels in the braking
system, as well as the engine
coolant level.
- Check the air filter and replace it if
necessary.
- Check the conditions of the engine
belts.
- Reconnect the battery after having
checked its charge condition
and perform the initialization
procedures where required. In
this regard, consult the paragraph
“Reconnecting the battery” in this
chapter.
Maintaining battery charge
When the vehicle is not going to be
used for one week or more (or if you
travel approximately 10 mi / 16 km)
per day and/or 3700 mi / 6000 km
per year), Maserati recommends
connecting the battery to a battery
charger, to save you the trouble
of having to recharge the battery.
The battery charger will keep the
battery charged properly and at the
correct voltage levels required by
the systems and devices in the car.
Before using and/or connecting the
battery charger, carefully follow the
instructions provided.
If you do not use a battery charger
to prevent the battery from going
flat when you are not going to use
the vehicle for long periods of time,
you need to check and recharge the
battery at least once every three weeks
(or if you travel approximately 10 mi /
16 km) per day and/or 3700 mi /
6000 km per year). Please note
that allowing the battery to go flat
repeatedly can cause premature wear
on the internal cells and greatly reduce
their life, leading to problems with the
ignition system and other electrical/
electronic systems.
Your
Authorized Maserati Dealer
is available to advise you on how
to recharge you battery correctly
and give you useful information on
battery care and maintenance.
The process of charging
or recharging the battery
produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious personal harm or even
death.
When charging or recharging the
battery, follow the recommended
precautions at all times:
- always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilated
environment;
- never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen: it can explode due
to hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals;
- ensure that any sparks or open
flames are kept well away from the
battery while it is charging;
- before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
