Owner’s Manual

Dear Customer,

We thank you for having chosen a MASERATI.

This vehicle is the end result of the MASERATI tradition and experience in the design and production of sports, touring and

racing cars.

The purpose of this manual is to provide you with an understanding of the equipment, systems and controls in the car and

to explain how they work.

In the ﬁnal section of this manual you will also ﬁnd instructions for basic maintenance procedures and the complete

Scheduled Maintenance plan, which are needed to maintain steady levels of performance, quality and safe driving. In

addition, keep in mind that proper maintenance is an essential factor contributing to the value of the vehicle over time and

to protection of the environment.

For Scheduled Maintenance or any other intervention, simply contact the

Maserati Service Network

: you can trust our

constantly updated technical staff, which is provided with the equipment required and will ensure that all procedures are

carried out properly and reliably.

For your own safety and the safety of others, we advise you to read this manual carefully before driving the car.

The Owner's Manual is an integral part of the vehicle and therefore it must always be kept on board.

This manual refers to vehicles with two types of transmission: manual gearbox and electronically controlled “Cambiocorsa"

gearbox; therefore, some indications may vary on the basis of the speciﬁc version.
