Power steering fluid

WARNING: Make sure that the power 
steering fluid does not come into 
contact with the engine hot parts as it 
is flammable.

With the vehicle on a level ground 
and the engine cold, check that the 
fluid level corresponds with the MAX 
reference notch on the tank cap 
dipstick. 
To perform the check, unscrew the 
cap, clean the dipstick, replace and 
tighten the cap, then remove it again 
and check the level. 
When the oil is hot the level may also 
exceed the MAX notch.
If necessary, top up with fluid 
making sure that it has the same 
characteristics as the one already used 
in the system.

Brake fluid 

Check that the fluid level in the tank 
is at the maximum level. If the level 
goes below the minimum level, with 
the ignition key turned to MAR (ON), 
the warning light 

 illuminates on 

the instrument panel.
If additional fluid is needed, use only 
the type classified as DOT4.

WARNING: The brake fluid is 
hygroscopic (i.e., it absorbs humidity). 
For this reason, if the vehicle is used 
mainly in areas with a high rate 
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid 
should be changed more frequently 
than indicated in the Maintenance 
Schedule. 

WARNING: Do not let the brake fluid, 
which is highly corrosive, come into 
contact with the paintwork. If this 
should happen, wash the paintwork 
immediately with water. 

WARNING: The symbol 

 on the 

container identifies the synthetic 
type of brake fluid, distinguishing it 
from the mineral type. Using mineral 
fluids irreparably damages the special 
rubber linings of the braking system.

WARNING: If you need to disconnect 
the battery, wait at least 30 seconds 
from the last seat movement.  
If disconnecting the battery before, 
you will have to perform the 
initialization procedure described on 
page 107.

The fluid contained in the 
battery is poisonous and 
corrosive. Avoid contact with 

the skin and eyes. Do not approach 
the battery with open flames or 
possible sources of sparks: risk of 
explosion and fire! 

Batteries contain substances that are 
very harmful for the environment. 
To replace the battery, please 
contact your Authorized Maserati 
Dealer, where the battery will be 
disposed of in full compliance with 
the regulations in force and in an 
environment-friendly manner. 

Battery posts, terminals and 
related accessories contain 
lead and lead compounds. 

Wash your hands after handling.

WARNING: Incorrect assembly of 
electrical and electronic accessories 
can cause serious damage to the 
vehicle.

WARNING: Ventilation hose: The 
battery generates hydrogen gas, 
which is flammable and explosive. 
The battery is fitted with a ventilation 
hose which vents hydrogen gas out of 
the battery compartment through a 
ventilation opening in the bottom of 
this compartment. If the battery must 
be replaced, it is essential that the 
ventilation hose is properly connected 
to the battery and that it is routed 
through the ventilation opening 
provided.  
Make sure the ventilation hose is 
free of debris. Only use replacement 
batteries equipped with a ventilation 
hose. Consult your local Authorized 
Maserati Dealer.

Useful hints for helping to 
extend the life of the battery

When parking the vehicle, make sure 
that the doors, luggage and engine 
compartments are properly closed. All 
interior lights should be off. 
When the engine is turned off, do not 
keep the connected devices on for a 
long time (e.g., the radio, the hazard 
lights, the fan, etc.).

WARNING: If the battery charge 
remains below 50% for a long 
period of time, it will be damaged 
due to sulphating; this will reduce 
its performance and starting power 
and the battery will be more subject 
to freezing (this can happen even at 
14°F/-10°C).

We recommend that you have the 
battery charge condition checked, 
preferably at the beginning of the 
cold season, to prevent the electrolyte 
from freezing. 

This check should be performed more 
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly 
for short trips or if it is equipped with 
power absorbing devices that remain 
permanently on even if when the 
ignition key is removed. This applies 
above all in the event of after-market 
devices. 

If the vehicle is not used for long 
periods of time, please refer to the 
chapter “If the vehicle is stored for 
long periods”, in this section.

WARNING: If additional systems have 
to be fitted in the vehicle, there is the 
risk of creating dangerous branches 
on the electric wiring, in particular if 
safety devices are involved.

WARNING: Incorrect installation or 
modifications to the radio and alarm 
systems may interfere with the proper 
operation of the ECUs.

WARNING: Changes or repairs to 
the electrical system performed 
incorrectly or without taking into 
account the technical specifications 
of the system may cause operating 
anomalies with the risk of fire. 

WARNING: If you need to wash the 
engine compartment, do not direct 
the jet of water for too long directly 
on the engine compartment ECU. 

Electronic control units

No special precautions are required 
for the normal use of the vehicle. 
In the case of repairs to the electrical 
system or in an emergency starting, 
the following instructions must be 
strictly followed:
-  Never disconnect the battery from 

the electrical system when the 
engine is running. 

-  Disconnect the battery from the 

electrical system when recharging 
it (see page 193 “If the battery is 
dead”). 

WARNING: If you need to disconnect 
the battery, wait at least 30 seconds 
from the last seat movement.  
If disconnecting the battery before, 
you will have to perform the 
initialization procedure described on 
page 107.

WARNING: When the battery is 
disconnected, you must first detach 
the negative pole terminal (–) and 
then the positive pole one (+). 

WARNING: The battery is secured to 
the vehicle with a metal clamp, so be 
extremely careful not to let the clips 
on the end of the cables come into 
contact with the clamp.

WARNING: When the battery is 
reconnected, you must first attach 
the positive pole (+), remembering to 
cover it with the cap provided, and 
then the negative one (–).

-  Never perform the emergency 

starting procedure using a battery 
charger: always use an auxiliary 
battery. 

-  Take special care when connecting 

the battery to the electrical system, 
checking both that polarity is 
correct and that the connection is 
properly working. 

-  Do not connect or disconnect the 

terminals of the ECUs when the 
ignition key is at MAR (ON).

-  Do not check the electric polarities 

through sparking. 

-  Disconnect the ECUs in the event 

of electrical welding on the

Spark plugs

In order to help ensure that the 
engine works efficiently and to keep 
polluting emissions at a minimum 
level, it is essential that the spark 
plugs are sound and clean. 

WARNING: The spark plugs must be 
changed at the intervals indicated in 
the Maintenance Schedule. Only use 
the prescribed spark plugs: faults may 
arise if the heat rating is unsuitable, 
or if the specified service life is not 
guaranteed. 

Wheels and tires

The Maserati Granturismo S 
is a performance automobile. 
Tire wear must be checked 

regularly and worn tires must be 
replaced. Tire wear will vary and 
depends on driving habits and 
condistions. To help obtain optimal 
performance and the longest service 
life from the tires, comply with the 
following precautions during the first 
300 mi (500 km):

-  do not drive at the maximum speed 

of the vehicle

-  drive on curves at low speed
-  avoid sudden steering
-  avoid sudden braking
-  avoid sudden acceleration
-  do not drive long at high speeds 

for too long. 

How to use the tires

WARNING: The tires must be always 
maintained in good conditions to help 
ensure safe driving.

Tire inflation pressure must 
correspond to the prescribed values 
and should be checked only when the 
tires are cold: tire pressure increases 
as the tire temperature progressively 
increases.
Never reduce the pressure if the tires 
are hot.
Insufficient tire inflating pressure can 
cause tire overheating and possible 
internal damage, which may even 
lead to tire destruction.

Check the tire inflating 
pressure at least every two 
weeks and before long trips.

8

222

During the tire life the rolling 
direction of the first fitting 
shall always be observed, 

also in case of “non-directional” tires.

Check the depth of the tire 
tread at regular intervals 
(minimum allowed value 

0.06 in / 1.6 mm). As the tread wear 
increases, there is a greater risk of 
skidding.

Drive carefully on wet 
roads to decrease the risk of 
aquaplaning.

Impacts with curbs, holes, and 
obstacles in the road, and prolonged 
trips on rough roads can cause tire 
damage which may not be visible to 
the naked eye.
Check your tires regularly for any 
signs of damage (e.g., scratches, cuts, 
cracks, bulges, etc.).
If sharp objects penetrate the tires, 
they can cause damage, which is only 
visible when the tire is removed.
In any case, any possible damage must 
be inspected by an experienced tire 
fitter, as it may seriously reduce tire 
life.
Remember that tires deteriorate with 
time, even if used little or not at all.
Cracks in the tire tread and sides, 
alongside possible bulging, are a sign 
of deterioration.

Have the old tires inspected 
by an experienced tire fitter, 
to make sure they can still 

be used safely. If the same tire has 
been on your vehicle for 4 or 5 years, 
have it inspected anyway by an 
experienced tire fitter.

 
Never fit tires of uncertain 
origin.

“Directional” tires have an 
arrow on their side showing 
the rolling direction. To help 

maintain optimal performance when 
replacing a tire, make sure that the 
rolling direction corresponds to the 
one marked by the arrow.

223

Windshield wipers

Clean the rubber parts regularly using 
the appropriate products.
Change the blades if the edge of the 
rubber is deformed or worn. In any 
case, the blades should be changed 
about once a year.

Traveling with worn wiper 
blades is very dangerous 
because it reduces the 

visibility in the event of poor 
atmospheric conditions.

The arms of the wiper 
blade have to be replaced 
with new ones after 

two disassembling operations. 
The special arm fixing system 
helps ensure optimal mechanical 
stability only after the first two 
refitting operations, provided that 
the specified tightening torque is 
observed.

We recommend therefore 
that you have any operations 
involving the removal of the 

windshield wiper arms performed by 
your Authorized Maserati Dealer. 

Some simple measures may reduce the 
possibility of damage to the blades.
-  In the case of temperatures below  

32°F (0 °C), check that ice has not 
stuck the rubber part against the 
windshield glass. If necessary, 
release with an anti-ice product.

-  Remove any snow on the 

windshield: in addition to 
protecting the blades, this avoids 
forcing and overheating the electric 
motor. 

-  Do not activate the windshield 

wipers when the windshield is dry.

Spray nozzles

If the jet does not work, first check 
that there is fluid in the pan (see 
“Level checks” in this section) then 
check that the nozzles are not 
clogged.

Replacing the wiper blades

Due to the difficulty of this operation, 
we recommend that you contact 
your Authorized Maserati Dealer for 
replacement.

8

224

Air conditioning system

During the winter, the air 
conditioning system should be 
operated at least once a month for 
about 10 minutes.
Before the summer season, have the 
system efficiency checked by your 
Authorized Maserati Dealer. 

WARNING: The system uses R134a 
type coolant that, in the event of 
accidental leakage, is not harmful 
for the environment. Under no 
circumstances should you use R12 
fluid that, in addition to being 
incompatible with the system 
components, contains chloro-fluoro-
carbons (CFCs). 

Bodywork

Protection from atmospheric 
agents

The main causes of the corrosion 
phenomena are: 
- atmospheric 

pollution

-  salinity and humidity in the 

atmosphere (sea areas or humid 
climate)

-  seasonal environmental conditions.
-  salt scattered on the road surface to 

melt ice and snow.

The abrasive action of atmospheric 
dust and wind-carried sand, mud and 
stones should not be underestimated. 
On your vehicle, MASERATI has 
adopted the best technological 
solutions to protect the bodywork 
from corrosion. 
The main measures are:
-  Paint products and systems 

that provide the vehicle with 
high-resistance features against 
corrosion and abrasion. 

-  Use of galvanized (or pre-treated) 

metal sheets whose most exposed 
parts are highly resistant against 
corrosion. 

-  Spraying of the underbody, engine 

compartment, internal part of 
the wheelhouse and of other 

parts using highly protective wax 
products. 

-  Spraying of the plastic material 

most exposed parts with protective 
function: under the doors, inside of 
the fenders, edges, etc. 

-  Use of ventilated box sections 

treated with wax products, to 
prevent water condensation and 
pooling, which may lead to the 
internal formation of rust.

Tips for keeping the bodywork 
in good condition

Paint

Paint does not only have an aesthetic 
function but also serves to protect the 
metal sheets. In the event of abrasions 
or deep scratches, we recommend 
that you have the necessary touch-ups 
made immediately, to avoid any rust 
formation.
Touch-ups do not feature particular 
difficulties, even on metallic finishes. 
For all paint touch-ups, use only 
genuine products indicated on 
the label applied on the engine 
compartment lid. 
Normal paint maintenance consists 
in washing, the frequency of which 
depends on the conditions of use and 
of the environment. For example, in 
areas where there is high atmospheric 

8

225

pollution or if traveling on roads 
spread with anti-freeze salt, it is 
advisable to wash the vehicle more 
frequently. 

WARNING: Detergents pollute water. 
Therefore the vehicle should be 
washed in areas equipped for the 
collection and purification of the 
fluids used for washing.

WARNING: If you are washing the 
vehicle with roller brushes, you must 
protect the edges of the rear, lateral 
brand symbol with tape, to prevent it 
from being detached by the revolving 
brushes.

For correct washing: 
-  Wet the bodywork with a low-

pressure water jet. 

-  Run a sponge soaked in a neutral 

detergent solution over the 
bodywork, remembering to rinse 
the sponge frequently.

-  Thoroughly rinse with water and 

dry with a jet of air or suede. 

When drying, take particular care 
with the parts that are less visible, 
such as the door bays, front lid, 
headlight edges, in which water can 
be trapped more easily. 
You are recommended not to take the 
vehicle immediately into an enclosed 

environment, but leave it in the 
open air so as to allow the water to 
evaporate. 
Do not wash the vehicle after it has 
been left in the sun or when the 
engine compartment lid is hot: the 
paint gloss could be affected. 
External plastic parts must be cleaned 
with the same procedure followed for 
the normal washing of the vehicle. 
Avoid, as far as possible, parking 
the vehicle under trees; the resinous 
substances that very often drop 
from the trees give the paint a 
dull appearance and increase the 
possibility of originating corrosive 
processes. 

WARNING: Bird droppings must 
be washed off immediately and 
thoroughly, since their acidity is 
particularly corrosive.

WARNING: To provide enhanced 
protection for the paint, polish the 
vehicle at regular intervals, with a 
suitable product leaving a protective 
film on the paint.

WARNING: If the vehicle is washed 
using high-pressure water jets or 
cleaners, it is important that the 
nozzle of the jet be kept at a distance 
of at least 15.8 in (40 cm) from the 

bodywork to avoid damaging it. 

Windows

To clean the windows use special 
detergents. 
Only use clean cloths so as not to 
scratch the windows or rendering 
them less transparent. 

WARNING: To avoid damaging the 
elements on the inside of the heated 
rear window, gently wipe in the same 
direction as the elements.

WARNING: When cleaning the plastic 
lenses of the headlights, do not use 
aromatics (e.g., gasoline) or ketones 
(e.g., acetone).

8

226

Interiors

WARNING: Do not use alcohol, fuel or 
solvents to clean the transparent part 
of the instrument panel.

Do not keep aerosol 
bottles in the vehicle. 
Risk of explosion! Aerosol 

bottles should never be exposed to 
temperatures above 122°F (50°C). The 
temperature inside the vehicle when 
exposed to the sun may easily exceed 
this value. 

Check at regular intervals that there 
is no water trapped under the mats 
(e.g., due to drips off shoes, umbrellas 
etc.) which may cause the metal parts 
to oxidize. 

Cleaning the leather upholstery

-  Remove the dried dirt with a 

slightly damp deerskin or a cloth, 
without rubbing too hard. 

-  Remove any liquid or grease stains 

with a dry absorbent cloth, without 
rubbing. 

-  Then run a soft cloth or deerskin 

damped with water and neutral 
detergent.

-  If the stain persists, use specific 

products carefully following the 
instructions for use. 

WARNING: Never use alcohol, alcohol-
based products or solvents. 

Leather upholstery treatment

Have the leather upholstery 
only treated as provided in the 
Maintenance Schedule and by your 
Authorized Maserati Dealer , where 
specially designed products will be 
used.

Parts in premium quality wood

Remove any dirt with a deerskin 
leather or damp cloth.

Engine compartment 

At the end of each winter 
season, carefully wash the engine 
compartment, remembering to not 
direct the jet of water for too long 
on the ECUs and on the relay and 
fuse boxes on the right-hand side 
of the engine compartment (driving 
direction). To perform this operation, 
contact your Authorized Maserati 
Dealer. 

WARNING: Wash only when the 
engine is cold and with the ignition 
key turned to STOP (OFF). After 
washing, make sure that the various 
protections (e.g. rubber boots/caps, 
guards etc.) have not been removed 
or damaged. 

8

227

If the vehicle is stored for 
long periods

If the vehicle is not used for 
several months, take the following 
precautions: 
-  Wash and dry the vehicle 

thoroughly.

-  Store the vehicle in a covered, dry 

and, if possible, ventilated area. 

- Select 

P (PARK), then turn the key 

to position STOP (OFF).

-  Disconnect the battery (see 

page 193).

-  Check the battery charge condition. 

This check should be performed 
every three weeks while the vehicle 
is stored. Recharge the battery if 
the load-free voltage is below  
12.5 V. 

-  Check that the electric parking 

brake is not applied. 

-  Clean and protect the painted parts 

applying protective waxes. 

-  Clean and protect polished metal 

parts with specific products 
available on the market. 

-  Talc the windshield wiper 

blades and raise them from the 
windshield. 

-  Cover the vehicle with a long cloth 

in transpirating fabric (available at 

your Authorized Maserati Dealer ).  
Do not use thick plastic sheets, 
which do not allow the humidity on 
the vehicle surface to evaporate. 

-  Inflate the tires up to a pressure 

which must be 7.25 psi (0.5 bar) 
higher than the normally prescribed 
one, and check it at regular 
intervals. 

The tire pressure must 
be brought back to the 
prescribed value before 

reusing the vehicle.

-  Do not drain the engine cooling 

system. 

Battery charge status

To avoid problems with ignition and/
or the electrical system in general 
when you are driving, the battery 
charge status is constantly maintained 
and guaranteed by the vehicle’s 
recharge circuit; the main component 
of which is the alternator. This circuit 
is only able to supply voltage to the 
battery when the vehicle is traveling. 
The warning light 

 (see page 66), 

located on the instrument panel, 
will indicate any malfunctions in 
the recharge circuit (solid light) or 
an insufficient battery charge status 
(flashing).

The amount of voltage that is 
supplied to the battery to maintain 
the charge status also depends on 
the amount of charge absorbed by 
the systems used in the vehicle, for 
example: the air conditioning system, 
the lights, windshield wipers, the 
audio system etc. In addition to this, 
even the traffic conditions you are 
driving in can influence the amount 
of charge produced: if, for example, 
you are traveling on the highway, 
the alternator supplies more voltage 
to the battery, while in heavy traffic, 
where the vehicle is continually 
stopping and starting, the alternator 
provides less charge. This also applies 
for the amount of electrical charge 
stored in the battery to power other 
electrical devices while the vehicle is 
traveling.
The vehicle is fitted with advanced 
electronic systems, such as, for 
example, the anti-theft system and 
various electronic control modules, 
which consume power even when 
the ignition switch is in the STOP 
position and the vehicle is not being 
used. Therefore, it is fundamental 
that the battery is properly charged to 
ensure that the engine starts properly 
and that all the electrical/electronic 
systems in the vehicle work efficiently.

8

228

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.

229

-  With the gearshift in neutral (N), let 

the engine idle for several minutes. 

This operation must be 
performed outdoors. Exhaust 
gases contain carbon 

monoxide which is strongly toxic and 
potentially lethal.

Reconnecting the battery

-  Connect the battery.
-  Unlock and lock the doors using the 

remote control.

-  Check that the seats are 

working properly: in the event 
of malfunctioning, perform the 
“initialization” procedures specified 
in the chapter “Seats” contained in 
the section “Before you drive”.

-  Initialize the climate control system 

by activating the compressor, 
as described in the chapter “Air 
conditioning” in the section 
“Before you drive”.

-  Turn on the Multi Media System 

and adjust the system date 
and time setting following the 
instructions given in the chapter 
“Configuration” in the “Multi 
Media System” manual.

WARNING: Each time the battery is 
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds 
with the ignition key in position MAR 
(ON) before starting the engine. This 
enables the electronic system that 
controls the motor-driven valves to 
perform a self-learning procedure. 
The “Multi Media System” setting 
procedure can be performed at the 
same time.

WARNING: Each time the battery 
is reconnected, the

 

 

and 

 

warning lights flash for about 10 
seconds and then go off.
