Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost
mode and place the fan system on
high speed (chapter "Air Conditioning
Controls" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls").
You should be able to feel the air
directed against the windshield and
front side windows. Contact the Service
Network for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly secured
so that they cannot slip out of position
and interfere with the pedals or impair
safe operation of your vehicle in other
ways.
NOTE:
The Maserati Service Network can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor mats
included in the "Genuine Accessories"
range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle that
cannot be properly secured to prevent
them from moving and interfering with
the pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
•
Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats and
other coverings will reduce the size of
the pedal area and interfere with the
pedals.
•
Check mounting of mats on a regular
basis. Always properly reinstall and
secure floor mats that have been
removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects cannot
fall into the driver footwall while the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become
trapped under the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal causing a loss of
vehicle control.
Before Driving
•
Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow floor
mat installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal operation causing
loss of control of the vehicle.
Tires
• Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or other
objects lodged in the tread or sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
• Check the tires (see "Tire Inflation
Pressure" chapter in section "Technical
Specifications") for proper cold inflation
pressure.
Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you operate
the controls (chapter "External
Lights Controls" chapter in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls").
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (chapter "Warning and
Indicator Lights" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls").
