Refueling; Carbon Monoxide Warnings - Maserati Ghibli Owner's Manual

(Continued)
• The use of fuel additives, which are
now being sold as octane enhancers,
is not recommended. Most of these
products contain high
concentrations of methanol. Fuel
system damage or vehicle
performance problems resulting
from the use of such fuels or
additives is not the responsibility of
Maserati.
NOTE:
International tampering with the
emissions control system can result in
civil penalties being assessed against
you.

Carbon Monoxide Warnings

WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust
gases is deadly. Follow the
precautions below to prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a
colorless and odorless gas, which
can kill. Never run the engine in a
closed area, such as a garage, and
never sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running for an extended
period. If the vehicle is stopped in
an open area with the engine
running for more than a short
period, adjust the ventilation system
to force fresh, outside air into the
vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide
with proper maintenance. Have the
exhaust system inspected every time
the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.

Refueling

To access the fuel filler neck, the filler
door must be unlocked. From outside
the vehicle, this can only be done by
pressing the unlock or the lock
button on the key fob RKE
transmitter, in the same way as if
opening or closing the doors. If any of
the door lock controls is pressed from
inside the vehicle, the filler door will
still remain open to allow refueling.
Once the fuel filler door is unlocked,
proceed as follows:
• Press the indicated area on the filler
door, which is located on the rear
left side of the vehicle: the filler
door will open completely.
There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper
door inside the filler seals the
system.
• Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler – the nozzle opens and holds
the flapper door while refueling.
