Starting and Driving
Ensure proper operation of different
devices checking their respective
control telltales.
CAUTION!
•
Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, they indicate a
malfunction. Refer to "Warning
and Indicator Lights" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and
Controls".
•
Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
5
affect its performance.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on-board diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current local
regulations of various countries.

If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes
and other information, which your
Authorized Maserati Dealer will use
to service your vehicle. Although the
vehicle will still be driveable and not
need towing, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer for service as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
•
Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on
could cause further damage to the
emissions control system. It could also
affect fuel economy and drivability.
The vehicle must be serviced before
any emissions tests can be performed.
•
If the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
•
After the problem has been solved,
the Authorized Maserati Dealer
personnel will perform specific tests
for a complete check of the system
and, if necessary, road tests.
Spare Parts
Use of genuine Maserati parts for
normal or scheduled maintenance
and repairs is highly recommended to
ensure excellent performance.
Damage or failures caused by
non-genuine spare parts used for
maintenance and repairs will not
be covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.
