Maserati QUATTROPORTE Owner's Manual page 267

CAUTION!
• Make sure that the power steering
fluid does not come in touch with
the engine hot parts as it is
flammable.
• When the engine is running, do not
keep the steering wheel completely
turned for longer than 8 seconds,
unless absolutely necessary. This will
cause a noise and also the
overheating of the hydraulic
steering fluid and could damage the
hydraulic steering system.
Coolant, Transmission and Hydraulic
Steering System Fluid Level Check
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer for this operation.
Engine Air Filters Replacement
Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer to have the air filters replaced.
A/C Air Filter Replacement
This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided
that windows and doors are perfectly
closed.
The filter is located under the engine
lid in the external A/C system air inlet,
on the passenger side of the vehicle,
next to the windshield wipers.
To replace the filter during the
scheduled maintenance services or
after the vehicle has been heavily used
on dusty roads, proceed as follows:
• Remove the access door in the cowl
screen by pressing the retaining clips
indicated.
Maintenance and Care
• Unsnap both ends and lift the filter
access cover.
• Remove the used filter slipping it off
from within the air intake.
• Install the new filter with arrows
pointing in the direction of airflow,
which is toward the rear of the
vehicle (text and arrows on the filter
will indicate this).
