Maserati Grecale 2023 Owner's Manual page 285

WARNING!
• Check the inflating pressure of the
tires when cold, at least every two
weeks and before long trips.
• Have the old tires inspected by an
experienced technician, to make sure
they can still be used safely. If the
same tire has been on your vehicle for
4 or 5 years, have it inspected anyway
by an experienced technician.
• Never fit tires of uncertain origin.
• "Directional" tires have an arrow on
their side showing the rolling direction.
To keep the best performance when
replacing a tire, make sure that the
rolling direction corresponds to the
one shown by the arrow.
• During the tire life, the rolling
direction used for the first fitting shall
always be observed, also in case of
"nondirectional" tires.
• Check the depth of the tire tread
at regular intervals. The minimum
allowed value is 0.06 in (1.6 mm) or
0.16 in (4 mm) for winter, all-season
and snow tires, at that point the wear
indicators on the tire will be visible
( : chapter "Tires Information"
in section "Safety"). The thinner is
the tread, the greater is the risk of
skidding.
•
Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning.
Winter Tires
These tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
The functions of these tires are
significantly reduced in winter when
tread depth is less than 0.16 in (4 mm). In
this case, they should be replaced.
The specific functions of the winter tires
lead to lower performance under normal
environmental conditions or on long
highway trips, compared to the standard
tires.
Therefore, their use should be limited to
the situations and performance for which
they have been type-approved.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide all necessary information about
fitting winter tires on the vehicle.
NOTE:
• We recommend fitting winter tires on
the vehicle at temperatures below 45
° F (7 ° C) since the driving performance
of summer tires is reduced at low
temperatures. Summer tires may be
permanently damaged at extremely
low temperatures.
Maintenance and Care
• Comply with all state and local laws
governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.
Wheel Rims Maintenance
All wheel rims should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water. To
remove heavy soil and/or excessive
brake dust, use a nonabrasive, non-
acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not
use oven cleaner that may involve and
damage the brake calipers.
Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that
may damage the wheel rim protective
finish.
