Battery

The battery fitted is of the "low
maintenance" type, and is located on
the right side of the luggage
compartment.
To gain access to the battery, open
panel A, which is fastened through a
Velcro strap.
The battery fluid (electrolyte), with the
car on a level ground, must always fall
between the reference marks MIN and
MAX on the battery.
In the event that the level is below the
MIN reference mark, please contact
your Authorized Maserati Dealer to
have the system checked.
To recharge the battery, see the section
"In an emergency" on page 168.
A
The fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with
the skin and eyes. Do not approach the
battery with open flames or possible
sources of sparks: risk of explosion
and fire.
Batteries contain substances that are
very harmful for the environment. To
replace the battery, please contact
your Authorized Maserati Dealer,
where the battery will be disposed of
in full compliance with local
regulations and in an environment-
friendly manner.
Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds.
Wash your hands after handling.
WARNING: Incorrect assembly of
electrical and electronic accessories can
cause serious damage to the car.
WARNING: Before disconnecting the
battery, lower the side windows by at
least 1.5-2 in (4-5 centimeters), in order
to avoid damaging the strips when
opening and closing the doors. When
the battery is connected and loaded,
this operation is carried out
automatically upon opening and
closing the door. The windows must
remain lowered until the battery is
connected once again.
If the battery runs flat when the
windows are fully raised, open the
door only if necessary and taking
utmost care. Do not close the door as
long as the window cannot be
lowered.
WARNING: Each time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition key in the "MAR"
position before starting the engine so
as to allow the electronic system which
operates the motor-driven valves to
perform the self-learning process.
During this time it is essential not to
activate any device.
