Maintenance and Care
•
Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.
Winter Tires
These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
The functions of these tires are
significantly reduced in winter when
tread depth is less than 4 mm (0.16 in). In
this case, they should be replaced.
The specific functions of the winter tires
lead to lower performance under normal
environmental conditions or on long
highway trips, compared to the standard
tires.
Therefore, their use should be limited to
the situations and performance for which
they have been type-approved.
The
Service Network can provide all
necessary information about fitting
winter tires on the vehicle.
NOTE:
• We recommend fitting winter tires on
the vehicle at temperatures below 7
°
C
(45
°
F) since the driving performance
of summer tires is reduced at low
temperatures. Summer tires may be
permanently damaged at extremely
low temperatures.
• Comply with all state and local laws
governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.
Wheel Rims Maintenance
All wheel rims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water. To
remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive, non-
acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not
use oven cleaner that may involve and
damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.
Bodywork Maintenance and
Care
Protection from Atmospheric
Agents
The main causes of corrosion are:
• atmospheric pollution;
• salinity and humidity in the atmosphere
(marine areas or a damp climate);
• seasonal environmental conditions;
• salt scattered on the roadbed to melt
ice and snow.
The abrasive action of wind-carried
atmospheric dust and sand, mud and
stones should not be underestimated.
On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted
the best technological solutions to
protect the bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
• paint products and systems that give
the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
• use of galvanized (or pre-treated) metal
sheets which are highly resistant to
corrosion in the most exposed parts;
• spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, insides of wheel
housings, and other structures with
wax products having high protective
power;
• spraying of plastic materials, with
a protective function, in the most
exposed points: underneath the doors,
