Never polish and never use polishing
agents on the vehicle with matte
finish paint or on parts of it.
Hard water (over 30 °f) could leave

limestone residues.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window on the liftgate equipped
with electric defrosters. Do not use
scrapers or other sharp instrument that
may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
When cleaning is performed, keep all
metal objects at a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the
Light Clusters
With cold or humid climates, after
a driving rain or after cleaning the
car, the surface of the front and rear
light clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This
is a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity differences
between the lens internal and external
surface, which nevertheless does
not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappears when switching on the
lights, starting from the centre of the
diffuser and gradually going to the
edges.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can

destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not use
any other equipment such as brushes,
steel wool, abrasives or any other
equipment for cleaning.
• After cleaning, please rinse the
aluminum trim with a lot of clear
water.
• While cleaning in the car, please
make sure that the moldings and
aluminum trims only get in contact
with soft brushes or textiles.
Engine Compartment
At the end of each winter
season, carefully wash the engine
compartment, remembering to avoid
directing the jet of water for too long
on the electric parts.
To perform this operation, you must
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
Pre-Short Drop Function
When in a car wash, if the driver keeps
the key fob in his/her pocket, or in any
place outside the vehicle within 3.3
ft (1 m) distance, the front windows
will perform a pre-short drop. This is a
shorter drop compared to the normal
