1.8

Before Driving

External Mirrors

Warning: The driver must always drive in such a way that

if the display contents are unclear or the camera system fails,

no other road users or property will be endangered or

injured. It is the driver’s responsibility for awareness of

surrounding objects and vehicles.

Unlike standard road car mirrors, the camera display system

does not change perspective when the driver moves their head.

There may be some initial familiarisation when the system is first

used.

The mirrors for this vehicle consist of externally mounted cameras

and display screens and are always on with the ignition or when

a door is opened.

The screens are not adjustable but provide a wide field of view.

Heated Camera

Caution: Do not manually attempt to remove ice from the

camera lens. This can scratch or otherwise damage the

camera lens and affect the quality of the display image.

The external cameras have a built in heating element which will

automatically remove any moisture and ice at low temperatures.

Decreasing Accommodation

The ability for a drivers eyes to accommodate different

information between forward traffic and rearward traffic shown

in the camera display system is crucial. The eyes capacity to do

this can decrease over time such as on long journey's or due to

age.

To reduce the effects of decreasing eye accommodation, regular

breaks should be taken during long journeys. To reduce the

effects of permanently decreased eye accommodation, regular

eye health checks are recommended.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 10 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Before Driving

1.11

High Voltage Systems

This vehicle is a parallel hybrid vehicle. This means that drive is

provided by both a traditional internal combustion engine and

high voltage electric motor, both of which are connected directly

to the transmission.

The electric motor is between the engine and gearbox and is also

used as a generator, transmission gear synchronisation, reverse

gear and pull away. As a high voltage system is also available, the

air conditioning compressor, cabin heater are electrically

operated rather than engine driven. The power steering pump is

also electrically driven rather than engine driven.

E-Motor

This vehicle features an electric motor that is used to perform

multiple functions on the vehicle to improve performance and

reduce engine load.

Starter Motor

The electric motor itself is used as the starter motor for the

engine. When the engine is first started, this will also synchronise

the engine, electric motor and transmission.

Initial Pull Away

To allow for smoother pull offs, the electric motor allows the

vehicle to move from a stop in first gear up to speeds of 10-15

km/h (6-10 mph) before the clutch is engaged and engine power

applied.

Reverse Gear

The transmission itself does not contain a traditional physical

reverse gear. Instead, first gear is selected and the electric motor

is run backwards to achieve reverse.

Transmission Synchronisation

The electric motor is used to synchronise the speed of the

transmission input shaft to the engine speed.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 11 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

1.12

Before Driving

Generator

To increase engine efficiency, the engine does not have a belt

driven alternator. When excess torque is generated from the

engine, the electric motor is used to charge the battery.

Torque Infill

During gear changes or other areas in the torque curve where

there would usually be a drop in torque, the electric motor

supplies torque to compensate and provide a smoother and more

consistent supply of torque.

Regenerative Engine Braking

When the throttle is lifted, a negative torque is generated to slow

the engine and provide an additional braking effect. The electric

motor amplifies the effect of this negative torque, increasing

aggressiveness depending on the handling mode selected.

ERS Boost

(Track Mode Only)

The Energy Recovery system (ERS) boost can temporarily provide

an on-demand increase of up to 100 Nm operated from the

steering wheel (Refer to ’ERS Boost’, page 3.18).

High Voltage (HV) Safety

Warning: Failure to follow warnings during normal use

and emergency rescue procedures can cause severe or fatal

burns or electric shock. Please read this manual thoroughly

to fully understand the features of this vehicle and to be able

to act correctly in the event of this vehicle being involved in

an accident.

Warning: This vehicle is equipped with systems that make

it possible to access the vehicle safely in special conditions.

However, you must always assume that the high voltage

system in the vehicle is live when approaching a hybrid

vehicle that is damaged, has been involved in an accident or

fire, or in the event or rescue or recovery.

Warning: Never assume that the vehicle ignition system is

off because the engine is quiet. The high voltage system can

be live without the internal combustion engine running.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 12 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Before Driving

1.13

Warning: Never touch cables, connectors or components

of the high voltage system with bare hands as this can cause

severe or fatal burns or electric shock. If you see any high

voltage components that look damaged, contact your Aston

Martin Dealer. Under no circumstances attempt to repair the

damage.

Warning: Risk of serious burns or electric shock resulting

in injuries that can be fatal. The high voltage electrical

system and high voltage battery are dangerous and may

cause burns, other serious injuries or death. Never attempt

to remove or tamper with the high voltage cables (with

orange covering), the high voltage battery, connectors or any

other component in the high voltage system.

High Voltage System Activation

The High Voltage (HV) system is live and energised whenever the

vehicle is in stand-by mode, such as when the vehicle doors are

first opened.

HV Component Identification

Warning: Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace

any high voltage (orange) cables or their connectors. There is

a risk of severe burns and shock that can cause serious injury

or death.

Each component in the HV system is identified by a label

indicating a potential risk of electric shock.

HV cables are identified by having an orange outer layer.

Road Accident Cautions

Emergency Shut Off

When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensors,

the emergency shut off system turns off the HV system. If the

emergency shut off system is activated, the vehicle will not restart.

To have the system reset, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 13 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

1.14

Before Driving

HV Isolation Loop

Trained Persons Only

Warning: The HV isolation loop should never need to be

used except by trained emergency persons, and is included

for reference information only. Interference with the HV

system by untrained persons can cause accidents that can

lead to burns, injury or death.

As an additional failsafe to fully isolate the HV system in this

vehicle in the event of a crash or other road traffic emergency,

this vehicle is equipped with a High Voltage Isolation Loop (HVIL)

(A). Should the HV system need to be deactivated and made safe,

the loops can be cut in the areas marked by the labels. This will

then break the HV interlock, disabling the HV system.

Safety Systems

Safety Harnesses

Never use the lap portion of the belt of the harness

without the shoulder belts and the anti-submarining strap.

Warning: Safety harnesses should not be worn with the

straps twisted.

Warning: Never use safety harnesses to restraint persons

who weighs less than 40 kg or are less than 150 cm in height,

regardless of age.

Warning: Never restrain more than one person in place

with each safety harness.

Warning: Always wear the lap belt portion of the harness

low and tight across the pelvis.

Warning: Pressure of the shoulder straps must be equal

between your shoulders and chest.

Warning: Never wear the belts over heavy clothing as it

can interfere with proper positioning and adjustment of the

belts, reducing the overall effectiveness of the system.

Warning: Never wear the belts over rigid or breakable

objects in or on your clothing, such as eye glasses, pens,

jewellery, keys etc. as these may cause injury.

Warning: Never allow straps to rub against sharp objects.

Warning: Never allow the belts to be damaged by

becoming caught in door or seat hardware.

Before Driving

Harness Condition

Warning: Never use any belt that is cut, torn or damaged

in any way. Replace it immediately, cut the old belt in half,

and discard the old belt so that it cannot be used again. Cuts,

tears and other damage to the belt will greatly reduce its

effectiveness, may cause it to fail. Risk of severe injuries or

death.

To make sure that the restraint webbings are in correct working

order, regularly check the seat belt harnesses. Look for fraying,

cuts, burns and similar problems. Make sure that the latches and

buckles operate correctly. If a seat belt harness is not in good

condition or is not working correctly, contact your Aston Martin

Dealer.

Harness Replacement

Warning: Never use a harness belt that has passed 5 year

from the FIA manufacturing date shown on each individual

belt in the seat harness. Use of expired belts may not offer

full protection in the event of an accident which can result in

either serious injury or death.

Each seat harness belt has an FIA expiration of 5 years after the

1st of January from when the belts was made. Individual belts

should never be used after this date (Refer to ’Harness

Replacement’, page 6.3).

Ear Protection

Warnings: Operating this vehicle at high engine speeds

can result in high noise levels in the vehicle cabin. Exposure

to high levels of noise for an extended period can lead to

hearing damage. To reduce noise exposure, the vehicle is

supplied with headsets that should be worn where permitted

when the vehicle is driven.

To protect occupant hearing, this vehicle is supplied with a pair

of aircraft grade noise-cancelling headsets which should be worn

whenever the vehicle is driven. These headsets also include a

built in intercom to allow the drive and passenger to talk in

comfort and connect to the infotainment system for music,

Driving

Driving Information

Procedures for driving this vehicle may be unfamiliar to many

new owners. To make sure that you have a safe and enjoyable

entry into this new phase of Aston Martin motoring, please take

time to safely acquire the necessary new driving skills. Practice in

safe, lower speed conditions before investigating the high

performance potential of the vehicle.

Driving behaviour, such as avoiding aggressive driving, travelling

at lower speeds, correctly inflating tyres, reducing periods of

idling and not carrying excessive weight, will improve fuel

consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.

Running-In

This vehicle is fully hot tested during manufacture and no special

running-in procedures are necessary. Nevertheless it is

recommended to limit engine loads (e.g. by accelerating gently

and by using lower gears on steep hills or when negotiating tight

turns) during the first 1500 km/900 miles.

Vehicle Idling

To protect the drive train components, static idling of the vehicle

should be limited to 30 minutes or less.

Vehicle Power Management

Due to the bespoke nature of the powertrain installed in this

vehicle, the optimal operating window of the engine is narrower

than a traditional power unit and as such care must be taken both

in warming up the vehicle and in cooldown. To manage this, the

vehicle is equipped with a power management strategy which

limits both the rpm and the maximum torque available to the

driver. This strategy is employed both at low and high engine

coolant and oil temperatures and is part of the normal operation

of the powertrain system.

Performance Driving Courses

Performance driving courses are available to enable you to fully

understand the control functions of your vehicle and also the

basic principles of performance driving. Contact your Aston

Martin Dealer for further information.

3.3

Track Days

Caution: The rear license plate should be removed before

this vehicle is used on track to prevent damage from high

exhaust temperatures.

Before using this vehicle on track days contact your Aston Martin

Dealer for vehicle set up, service parts and recommendations.

High Speed Driving Cool Down

When the vehicle is used on track or in sustained high speed

situations, such as de-restricted sections of the Autobahn, the

vehicle should perform a period of cool down running at a

minimum of half speed in as high a gear as possible to allow

critical components the opportunity to cool before the vehicle is

brought to a stop. If driving in this manner and the engine coolant

warning light is illuminated, time should be allowed to cool the

vehicle until the light is no longer illuminated. Consideration

should be given to the traffic scenario, fuel level, and any other

factors which may affect this cool down period.

Wet Conditions

When driving in wet conditions, water can build up under your

tyres so that they ride on a layer of water. This is called

aquaplaning or hydroplaning. When this happens, you have little

or no control. Aquaplaning is more prone to happening at higher

road speeds if there is a lot of water on the road and particularly

if the tyres are also under inflated or approaching minimum tread

depth.

It is important to take bends or curves at a safe, reasonable speed,

particularly when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces.

Slow down when it is raining.

Driving Through Deep Water

If in any doubt whether to drive through deep water, always take

the side of caution to avoid potentially costly damage to the

vehicle's engine or other essential systems.

Caution: Never drive in water deeper than the lower edge

of the front wing in Urban handling mode. Always proceed

with extreme caution, especially when the depth is not

known. Aston Martin recommend that if wading is

unavoidable, that bodylift mode is used.

When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be

limited. Once through the water, always dry the brakes by driving

slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.

3.4

Driving

Tyre Skip At Low Speed

In certain conditions, the front tyres may ‘skip’ at low speeds with

summer tyres installed when a high level of steering lock is

applied. This is a characteristic of the vehicle and does not affect

the safety or performance of the vehicle.

Starting in Cold Conditions

This vehicle will not start if the temperature in the battery cell or

the engine oil is below 1°C (33°F). If the driver attempts to start

the vehicle below 1°C (33°F) then a warning will be shown stating

that starting the vehicle is not possible at this temperature.

Brakes in Cold Weather

At low temperatures (below 0°C / 32°F) moisture within the brake

pads may freeze and cause the brake pads to stick to the brake

discs. Additional torque may need to be applied when the

vehicle is first used after extended periods of being parked, and

there may be a noise as the brake pads become free. Once

released, the brakes will operate as normal.

Drainage Holes

Beneath the centre of the vehicle and each fender are several

drainage holes. As a result, small puddles of water may form

underneath the vehicle after it has been stopped for a period of

time. This is normal and does not show a system leak or

malfunction.

3.5

How To Start The Engine

Warning: The engine can be started by any person in the

vehicle if the brake pedal is pressed down. Care should be

taken that the vehicle is not left unattended with the key

present and occupants such as young children inside.

Caution: Make sure the park brake is applied. This will

prevent the vehicle from moving once the engine has started.

To start the engine, fully press the brake pedal down and press

START/STOP (A). Keep the brake pedal pressed down until the

engine has started.

Stopping The Engine

Caution: When the engine is stopped, the vehicle will

lower to sport ride height (Refer to ’Sport’, page 3.8). Be

aware of kerbs, speed bumps or uneven ground before the

engine is switched off.

Press START/STOP to stop the engine.

Low Temperature Crank Inhibit

To protect the hybrid drivetrain, this vehicle will be unable to

start if either the temperature in the battery cells or the engine oil

is below 1°C (33°F). The State of Charge (SoC) gauge in the

steering wheel will display as empty regardless of actual SoC and

a red warning will be shown in the infotainment system.

To clear the warning and allow the vehicle to start, both the

internal battery temperature and the engine oil must increase

above 1°C (33°F) and the ignition turned off and back on.

Driving

Ultra Urban Mode

Caution: As the engine and clutch are not fully engaged,

the high voltage battery will not be charged at the same rate

as normal vehicle modes. As such, Ultra Urban mode should

be used sparingly and not as a regular driving mode.

Battery State of Charge shown on the instrument cluster must

be at least 50% before starting the vehicle in Ultra Urban mode.

Whilst in Ultra Urban mode, you will not be able to select

handling modes. The vehicle must be come to a halt and exit

Ultra Urban mode, indicated by N (neutral) being shown in the

gear selection indicator in the instrument cluster.

Ultra Urban mode is a specialist vehicle mode that is selected

when the vehicle is first started. In Ultra Urban mode, the clutch

will be open and the engine will not be engaged with the drive of

the vehicle. The engine will only be running at idle speed to

operate the hydraulic system for the gearbox and suspension. The

electric motor provides propulsion for speeds of up to 100 km/h

(62 mph), but this use comes at the cost of accelerated battery

drain.

To select Ultra Urban mode:

• The engine must be off.

• Press both the N (neutral) button on the steering wheel and

pull the downshift paddle at the same time.

• 'Ultra Urban Mode selected' will be shown on the

infotainment screen.

• Start the engine with the START/STOP button.

• To select a forward gear, pull the upshift paddle. This will

then select 6th gear.

Ultra Urban Mode will automatically cancel if the vehicle comes

to a stop. To show that the vehicle is no longer in Ultra Urban

mode, N (neutral) will be shown in the gear selection indication

in the instrument cluster.

Handling Modes

Vehicle driving characteristics, such as suspension damping and

gear changes can be changed by selecting different handling

modes. Use the mode button (A) to select Mode and use the

switch (B) to change between the three drive modes.

Urban

Urban mode provides a default comfort setting, best

suited to casual driving. The vehicle is set to use a base

transmission calibration with slower and softer shifts, lighter

steering and the suspension will be at its softest setting. The

diffuser flaps will remain open to reduce downforce and improve

cooling, and the engine will provide a limited level of engine

braking. To remove distraction during normal driving the shift

lamps will be disabled

Sport

Sport mode provides a more focussed drive aimed

towards the enthusiastic driver. The transmission uses

faster and harsher gear shifts, and there is an increased weighting

to the steering. The shift lamps will also now be active on the

steering wheel to show optimal gearshifts. The suspension has a

stiffer level of damping and ride height will lower by 16 mm. The

diffuser flaps will now be dynamic for maximum downforce and

there will be a greater level of engine braking.

Whilst handling is in Sport mode, ESP is set to Sport (S).

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 8 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Driving

3.9

Track

Track mode increases settings for a track environment

sacrificing comfort for performance. The transmission uses

the fastest and harshest gear shifts, and the steering weight is

further increased. The suspension will also provide the stiffest

level of damping with ride height the same height used in sport

mode. The diffuser flaps will again be dynamic and there will be

the highest level of engine braking.

Whilst in Track mode, TC is adjustable with ESP Off (Refer to

’Traction Control System (TCS)’, page 3.12)with access to the

Urban (U), Sport (S), Track (T) and Off ESP modes. The ERS

function is available to provide an increase in available torque

(Refer to ’ERS Boost’, page 3.18).

Track Mode with Track Front Clamshell

Warning: The optional front track clam is not

homologated for road use. Never use this vehicle on the

public highway with the track clam installed.

(Optional)

With the optional track front clamshell installed, this unlocks the

ride height to be dropped by 55 mm on the front and 64 mm at

the rear relative to Urban mode. ESP, active aero, suspension and

steering will now use an unique track calibration for optimum

performance. TPMS will also be calibrated to suit higher tyre

pressures.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely

according to the law and with due regard to prevailing

conditions.

Warning: Electronic Stability Program (ESP) must never

let the driver be tempted into taking risks which could affect

his or her safety or that of other road users. ESP cannot

overcome consequences of applying too much engine power

for prevailing conditions.

ESP is designed to improve driving safety when the tyres are at the

limits of their grip capabilities. This is done by control of engine

torque and application of the brakes at individual wheels.

Caution: If repair or replacement of the steering or other

surrounding equipment is necessary, always refer to your

Aston Martin Dealer. There is a sensor in the steering system

which detects steering angle. If the centre position of the

steering deviates, the ESP may not operate correctly.

Caution: ESP may not operate correctly when using snow

socks.

Caution: Use tyres of the same manufacturer, brand, type,

tread pattern and correct size specified in this handbook for

this vehicle on all four road wheels. Do not mix new and worn

tyres on the same axle.

ESP Modes

ESP has four modes of operation: Urban, Sport, Track and Off.

To set Urban, Sport and Track, use the mode button (A) to select

ESP and use the switch (B) to change between modes.

Urban

ESP defaults to on each time the vehicle is started. Whilst

in Urban, yaw control is limited and ABS is tuned to give

a level of vehicle performance, control and stability under

braking that will cover everyday driving situations and weather.

Traction Control (TC) is not adjustable and set as full intervention.

In the event a wheel loses grip and the traction control system

intervenes, the symbol will flash in the instrument cluster.

Sport

In Sport, yaw control and ABS is more relaxed to allow the

more driver control before intervention. Whilst in Sport,

Traction Control (TC) is not adjustable and set as full intervention.

Driving

3.11

Track

Warning: Track mode is intended for use on a dry track.

Greater driver input will be required to maintain vehicle

stability.

Track mode further reduces the level of yaw control and

the ABS is tuned to allow more experienced drivers to

drive closer to the limits of the vehicle's ability and enjoy its

natural balance in a track environment. Traction Control TC is

now adjustable between 1 (minimum) and 10 (maximum)

Whilst in Track mode, the symbol will be continually shown

in the instrument cluster.

Off

Warning: ESP Off is intended for use on a dry track.

Greater driver input will be required to maintain vehicle

stability.

Press and hold the selector switch to set ESP to Off. With

ESP set to Off, yaw control is disabled and ABS uses a track

dedicated calibration.

In Urban and Sport Modes, TC remains set to 10 and whilst in

Track handling mode, TC is user adjustable. The symbol will

be continually shown in the instrument cluster.

Dynamic Wheel Torque by Brake (DWT-B)

Dynamic Wheel Torque by Brake (DWT-B) uses input signals

such as speed, acceleration and steering angle to monitor vehicle

behaviour during cornering. A small amount of brake pressure

will then be applied to the inside rear wheel to reduce

understeer. DWT-B is always active, but is more responsive when

the ESP is set to either Track or Off.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 11 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

3.12

Driving

Traction Control System (TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS) is used to prevent excessive

wheel spin at standing starts, or during acceleration. Wheel spin

is usually caused by excessive use of the accelerator pedal, or

slippery, loose or bumpy road surfaces. When ESP is set to Urban

and Sport modes, this is set to full intervention. When the ESP is

set to Track or Off

the level of intervention is adjustable to allow

the driver to set the TCS to when they would like it to intervene.

Warning: It is always the drivers responsibility to drive

safely according to the law and with due regard to prevailing

conditions.

Warning: Traction control cannot overcome the

consequences of applying too much engine power for

conditions, and must never let the driver be tempted into

taking risks which could affect their safety or that of other

road users.

To prevent wheel spin and maintain vehicle stability in such

situations, the traction control system will:

• Brake either of the driven wheels when they start to slip.

• Adapt the engine and/or E-motor torque to a level

corresponding to the traction available on the road surface.

These symptoms are normal and will clear as wheel spin is

eliminated and normal engine power is restored.

If traction control operates when driving on extended icy or

slippery surfaces, reduce engine power as necessary until the ESP

warning symbol goes off.

Whilst in Track handling mode

Brakes

Footbrake

Warning: In the event of a brake failure, bring the vehicle

to a stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Do not continue to

drive the vehicle. To do so could result in an accident or

collision resulting in death or serious injury.

Warning: Greater care may be necessary after a long drive

over salted or gritted roads or if driving in heavy rain,

through water or a vehicle wash. Brake action may be

delayed and increased braking pressure may be required.

Warning: Aston Martin recommend that the brake fluid is

replaced before and after the vehicle is used for high

performance driving such as a track day. Failure to do so

may result in greatly reduced brake performance.

Warning: Track day use and high speed driving: For track

use or high speed driving new brake pads must be subject to

specific conditioning. Failure to correctly condition the pads

may result in greatly reduced brake performance.

The high performance brake system used on this vehicle is

designed to provide optimal braking under all operating

conditions. However, an inherent characteristic of this braking

system is some brake noise. Certain combinations of speed,

braking forces and ambient conditions may also cause the brakes

to squeal.

The brakes in this vehicle are not servo assisted, and may have

a different brake feel when first driven.

The footbrake uses a dual (diagonal split) circuit hydraulic system

with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS).

The carbon ceramic brake systems combine low weight with high

performance, offering:

• Reduced unsprung weight (mass of components not

supported by the suspension) to improve vehicle handling,

• Improved rate of wear characteristics,

• Improved braking performance.

The rate of wear of the brake pads and discs will depend on

driving style and usage conditions. Track day usage will increase

the rate of wear of discs and pads.

Brake Throttle Override

If the throttle and brake pedals are both pressed at the same time,

the engine will restrict available torque. Normal functionality will

return when the throttle pedal is pressed without the brake pedal

or the brake pedal is released.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 13 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

3.14

Driving

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Safety

It is always the driver's responsibility to drive safely with regard to

driving conditions and according to the law. The fact that a

vehicle is equipped with ABS must never let the driver be

tempted into taking risks which could affect his or her safety or

that of other road users.

The addition of ABS cannot overcome the consequences of trying

to stop in too short a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or

aquaplaning (where the tyres are prevented from contacting the

road surface by a layer of water).

The driver should always take road conditions into account. A

slippery road surface always requires more braking distance for a

given speed, even with ABS. Stopping distances can increase with

ABS compared to locked wheels on slushy snow, gravel, sand or

certain heavily corrugated or ridged warning sections of road

surfaces.

If any braking system malfunctions, have the braking and ABS

systems checked immediately by an Aston Martin Dealer.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps prevent the road

wheels from locking and causing the vehicle to skid during

emergency braking. This also assists the driver in maintaining

steering and directional stability.

If the braking force exceeds tyre grip in an emergency braking

situation, the ABS operates to prevent the wheels locking. A

pulsating effect is felt through the brake pedal when this happens.

This is a normal effect of the ABS operating.

ABS can have different levels of intervention depending on the

ESP mode the vehicle is in (Refer to ’ESP Modes’, page 3.10).

Brake Warnings

Warning: If either brake warning symbol comes on, you

should immediately be prepared for increased stopping

distances or partial failure of the braking system.

If the brake warning symbol or comes on while driving,

the brake system has a fault and braking performance may be

affected.

A message will also show in the infotainment screen with

further information.

Stop as soon as possible in a safe and convenient place. Apply the

footbrake and make sure that the park brake is fully released. If

the warning symbol stays on, do not drive the vehicle. It is

essential that the brake system is checked immediately. Contact

the nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

ABS and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warnings

Warning: If the ABS and ESP warning symbols come on,

you should be aware that wheels could lock during extreme

braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. Steering

performance can also function differently and there is

increased risk of skidding and/or accident.

If and come on while driving both ABS and ESP have

a fault. The brake system will continue to operate, but without

assistance from either ABS or ESP. Both front and rear wheels

may lock under heavy braking which can result in longer braking

distances in an emergency stop.

A message will also show in the infotainment screen with

further information.

Drive on carefully and have the braking and ABS systems

checked immediately by an Aston Martin Dealer.

Brake Pad Conditioning

Warning: For track use or high speed driving, new brake

pads must be correctly conditioned. Failure to correctly

condition the pads may result in greatly reduced brake

performance. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer for further

information.

When new brake pads are installed the brake discs and pads

need to be conditioned. During this time, brake performance will

be reduced.

Avoid excessive braking, such as hard stops from high speed and

steep descents, for the first few hundred miles or kilometres

after

new brake pads are installed.

Park Brake

Park Brake Operation

Warning: If the brake system warning symbol is on or

flashing, do not rely on the park brake to hold the vehicle

stationary. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

When the vehicle is stationary, push and hold the park brake

switch (A) in until the park brake releases. The warning

symbol in the instrument cluster will come on when the park

brake is applied. If the park brake is applied whilst the vehicle is

moving, the stop lamps will come on.

Distances can vary depending on driving conditions and frequency of

brake use

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 16 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Driving

3.17

The park brake operates on the rear wheels of the vehicle.

Caution: Secure parking of the vehicle is dependent on

being on a hard and stable surface. The rear wheels must be

on a suitable surface to prevent vehicle movement.

The ignition must on to release the park brake. First apply

pressure to the foot brake then pull on the park brake switch and

release. The symbol will go off to show the park brake has

been released.

Park Brake Operation While Moving

Warning: Repeated use of the park brake to slow the

vehicle, or driving the vehicle with the park brake applied

can cause serious damage to the brake system.

In an emergency, push and hold the park brake switch to reduce

speed. The symbol will come on and a warning sound will

be heard.

Release the switch to cancel the park brake application whilst the

vehicle is moving. The park brake will only apply as normal once

the vehicle has stopped movement.

Park Brake Emergency Operation

If the switch for the park brake fails, there is a secondary method

of release. When the brake pedal is pressed whilst a gear is

selected, the park brake will then release. While in this

emergency mode the park brake will automatically apply each

time the vehicle is stationary and the transmission is in neutral (N)

for more than 1 second.

Driving Functions

ERS Boost

ERS boost is only available in Track handling mode

The Energy Recovery system (ERS) boost can temporarily provide

an on-demand increase of up to 100 Nm. To active this boost

press and hold the ERS button (A) on the steering wheel with

heavy throttle application.

Launch Control

Launch control optimises elements of the high voltage system to

accelerate the vehicle as fast as possible from a standing start.

When a launch is performed, the E-motor will output maximum

power on pull away and the gearshifts will be as quick as possible,

and will continue to provide an ERS boost throughout the launch.

Activation

To activate launch control:

1. Press the launch control button (A) with a forward gear

selected.

2. The vehicle will enter charging mode, shown by the launch

control icon flashing white in the steering wheel

display.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 18 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Driving

3. Stop the vehicle (if the vehicle is not already stationary) and

fully press the brake pedal.

4. When charging is complete the launch control icon

will be shown in solid white.

5. Once charged, fully press the accelerator pedal whilst

keeping the brake pedal pressed. The launch control icon

will now turn green. To launch the vehicle, release the

brake pedal.

Once launch control is active, there will be no rise in engine

speed as initial launch is completed by the e-motor. Power from

the engine is applied once the vehicle is in motion.

Cancellation

Before a Launch: Launch control will be cancelled if the brake is

released or the throttle is pressed before the system is charged

(launch control icon is solid white). The system will also be

cancelled if Neutral (N) or Reverse (R) gears are selected.

After a Launch: Launch control can be cancelled after a launch

by:

• Pressing the brake pedal.

• Releasing the throttle pedal.

• Changing gear (if this would cause engine speed top drop

below rpm threshold).

• Selecting neutral gear.

• Pressing the launch control button.

Driving

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning: Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre

causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Over-

inflation and under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and

tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and

stopping ability.

Warning: The TPMS is not a substitute for correct tyre

maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain

correct tyre pressures, even if under-inflation has not

reached the level to set the TPMS tyre pressure indicator

symbol to on.

A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is installed as a safety

feature. This system will display the tyre pressures for each tyre

and provide warnings if pressure is below a specified pressure for

each tyre.

Each tyre should be checked at least once every two weeks when

cold, and inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer or on the tyre pressure label. If your vehicle has

tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the tyre

pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre pressure for

those tyres.

For recommended tyre pressures for this vehicle (Refer to ’Wheel

and Tyre Information’, page 6.15)

Tyre Pressure Display

The TPMS display can be shown in the infotainment screen and

can be found in the Vehicle menu. The screen itself shows the

pressure in each tyre as well as a temperature display. If a tyre is

below the minimum pressure this will be shown in red as well as

the symbol being illuminated in the steering wheel display.

Tyre pressures can also be seen in the drop down quick

access menu.

Tyre pressures will be displayed in the infotainment display

after the vehicle has been driven for a few minutes.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 20 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Driving

3.21

Warning: When a tyre pressure warning is detected,

reduce the vehicle speed to a safe level. Stop in a safe and

convenient place and inspect the tyre(s).

The tyre pressures may be displayed in the wrong positions

for a short time if the wheels have been moved on the vehicle.

After a few minutes of driving, the TPMS will calibrate and the tyre

pressures are displayed in the correct positions.

TPMS with Track Clamshell

When the Track Clamshell is installed, TPMS calibration will be

switched to match the higher pressures required for sustained

high speed driving.

TPMS Malfunction Warning

If the TPMS malfunctions due to a system failure or tyre

transmitter fault, will flash for approximately 75 seconds

and then remain lit.

A malfunction of the tyre pressure monitor can take up to ten

minutes to be shown. The TPMS warning lamp will go out when

the fault has been resolved and after several minutes of driving.

A TPMS malfunction can be cause by:

•A defective TPMS sensor.

• Wheels and tyres installed that do not have TPMS sensors.

•Unapproved item interfering with the TPMS.

• TPMS system or software fault.

If the system shows there is a TPMS fault, continue at a reduced

speed of 30mph / 48 km/h maximum. Contact your Aston Martin

Dealer.

Headsets

Warnings: Operating this vehicle at high engine speeds

will created high volume levels in the vehicle cabin which

can damage hearing. The supplied headsets should be worn

when the vehicle is driven.

This vehicle is supplied with a pair of aircraft grade noise-

cancelling headsets which should be worn whenever the vehicle

is driven. The headsets include a built in intercom to allow the

drive and passenger to talk in comfort and connect to the

infotainment system for music, navigation instructions and

telephone calls.

Connection

To connect the headsets to the vehicle, plug the connector from

the headset(s) into the fly leads found by the inner shoulders of

the seats. Once connected the headsets will be powered

whenever the infotainment system is on.

Adjustment

For the headsets to correctly provide hearing protection, the

headsets must be adjusted correctly. The headset should be worn

so that the head pad lightly touches the top of the head. The

vertical sliding assembly can then be adjusted to fit. The memory

foam on the ear pads will then shape to provide a seal around the

ears.

To adjust the microphone, move the boom up and down or in

and out by rotating and flexing the boom as necessary. The ideal

position for the microphones is approximately 3mm (1/8") from

the lips

Intercom and Infotainment

The headsets are permanently set to work as an intercom

between the driver and the passenger when the vehicle

infotainment is on. The infotainment also sends audio such as the

radio, music and phone, through to the headsets.

Care and Maintenance

To remove the ear pads, gently pull off the headset. To install,

carefully stretch over the lip of of the earpiece.

To remove the head pad, gently pull off from the headpiece of

the headset. To install, align the head pad with the head band

and push on to attach.

Climate System Operation

The air conditioning compressor and heater will only be

available whilst the engine is running.

Powertrain systems such as the high voltage battery, inverter,

dc-dc converter and e-motor use the same air conditioning

system as the cabin. To make sure the vehicle operates as

intended, these systems will take priority over cabin cooling. If

any of these systems become too hot, cabin cooling will be

decreased to make sure these critical powertrain components

can be sufficiently cooled.

The climate control system for this vehicle uses a compressor

driven by the high voltage electrical system and a Positive

Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater to provide cabin heating,

replacing the need for a traditional circulated coolant system.

Automatic Climate Control

The temperature is maintained at a set level in automatic mode.

The climate system will automatically control the temperature,

airflow and the air distribution according to the interior and

exterior conditions.

To set a temperature for automatic operation:

• Set a temperature.

•Press

• The LED indicator lamp will switch on.

Any changes to the air distribution or airflow speed will cancel

automatic climate control.

Climate Control Operating Tips

• Moisture which forms on the evaporator in the air

conditioning unit is discharged via a drain tube onto the road.

After stopping, small puddles of water may form underneath

the vehicle. This is normal and does not show a system

malfunction.

• Set the climate system to off when in a car wash or if the

vehicle is being pressure washed.

• Windows can fog up easily in humid weather. Use the climate

control system to demist the windows.

• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the

bonnet and the air inlet below the windscreen to improve the

system efficiency.

• Use the ‘outside air’ position in normal conditions. The ‘re-

circulated air’ position should be used temporarily when

driving on dusty roads or for quick cooling or heating of the

interior.

• Operate the climate control system at least once a month to

keep internal parts lubricated.

• Have the climate control system checked before the weather

gets hot. If the climate control system is low on refrigerant or

has a malfunction, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

• Mist may come out from the vents when using the air

conditioning. This is humid air being suddenly cooled and not

a sign of a malfunction.

Parts and Lubricants

Aston Martin recommends that when performing a servicing task,

the recommended lubricants and parts are used.

Caution: If oils or lubricants are used which do not meet

the required fluid specification, vehicle components may

experience excessive wear, a build-up of sludge and deposits

or cause increased pollution. If it is evident to Aston Martin

that use of products other than those which are

recommended by the manufacturer have caused damage to

the vehicle or engine, Aston Martin may refuse to authorise

the repair of such damage under the terms of the

manufacturer’s warranty.

Electronic Fuel Injection

Warning: If the fuel system is allowed to run dry, the fuel

pump(s) can be permanently damaged.

Warning: Any modifications or additions to the fuel

system not specifically designed by Aston Martin are

prohibited. If installed, they can cause damage to the fuel

system which, in some circumstances, could cause fire. All

Service Action and Safety Recall Actions must be undertaken

by an Aston Martin Dealer.

The electronic fuel injection system requires specialist equipment

and test facilities to set up and maintain so that the vehicle gives

maximum performance, coupled with economy, reliability and

safe vehicle emissions. You are, therefore, strongly advised to

Harness Replacement

Each seat harness belt has an FIA expiration of 5 years after the

1st of January from when the belts was made. Individual belts

should never be used after this date

Both shoulder straps in each harness has an elastic alignment

strap to make sure that when the belts are adjusted, the belts are

kept in line to reduce the risk of belt slippage. This must be

replaced annually.

For more information on the replacement of seat harness belts,

contact you Aston Martin Dealer.

Servicing Precautions

To avoid personal injury, the following safety precautions must be

observed when the engine cover is open and the engine is

operating or the ignition is on.

Warning: Protect yourself against dangerous substances.

Warning: Keep hands, hair, tools, items of clothing and

jewellery clear of all drive belts, pulleys and operating

mechanisms. The cooling fan may operate even though the

engine is not operating.

Warning: Avoid skin contact with all exhaust system and

engine components, engine fluids and escaping steam. They

may be hot and can cause scalding or burns.

Warning: Any loose objects, such as ties, should be

removed before working on a vehicle. Any jewellery should

also be removed before working on a vehicle, especially

work on the electrical system.

Warning: Catalytic converters convert harmful exhaust

gasses into less noxious substances and so reduce

environmental pollution. They operate at high temperatures

and continue to radiate a considerable amount of heat after

the ignition has been set to off.

Warning: Do not work beneath the vehicle with a vehicle

lifting jack as the only support. Place suitable stands under

the vehicle.

Warning: Keep children and pets clear of the vehicle. Do

not let anyone inside the vehicle unless specifically working

to your instructions.

Warning: Whenever possible, work in the engine

compartment with the engine cool, the ignition off and the

vehicle battery disconnected.

Warning: Petrol is highly flammable and, in confined

spaces, is also explosive and toxic. In the event of spillage,

set the engine to off. Do not use a flame or spark near fuel or

fuel vapour. Do not smoke near fuel or fuel vapour. Do not

inhale fuel vapour or fumes.

Warning: Before any work is started on this vehicle's high

voltage system, the high voltage disconnect in the front

storage compartment must be removed and the battery

made safe. If you do not there is risk of severe burns injury

and death.

Maintenance and Technical Data

Fuel Filler Bowl

During fuel filling check that the fuel filler bowl drain pipe is free

from debris which may block the pipe. If the pipe is blocked,

water can not drain from the bowl and can overflow into the fuel

tank.

Engine Oil Level

Caution: It is important to check the engine oil level

regularly. Running the engine with engine oil below the lower

mark or above the upper mark can cause serious engine

damage.

Check the engine oil level every fourth fuel tank fill or weekly -

which ever is the sooner.

Suspension Sweep

Caution: Activating the suspension sweep function will

perform a complete sweep of all the ride height actuators on

this vehicle which will cause the ride height of the vehicle to

fluctuate. Before a suspension sweep is initialised, make sure

that there are no objects beneath the vehicle, as this can

damage the vehicle as the suspension is cycled.

If the vehicle is not regularly used, the system must be cycled

monthly for the active suspension systems to operate in the best

condition. To perform a suspension sweep, the vehicle must be

started, and the Suspension Sweep function initiated in the

Settings menu in the infotainment system (Refer to ’Settings

Menu’, page 4.14). This will cycle the suspension actuators to

lubricate the seals and prevent them from drying out.

For a suspension sweep to be started, the below conditions must

be met.

• Hydraulic supply must be available.

• The vehicle must be stationary.

• The transmission must be in N (neutral).

If any of the above conditions change or the suspension sweep is

turned off manually, the suspension sweep function will be

deactivated.

Whilst the suspension system cycles, this allows for the HV

battery to be charged to prevent it from draining over time. If

charging the battery as well, the vehicle should be run for a

minimum of 15 minutes.

cause severe burns.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the

lower mark or above the upper mark can cause serious

engine damage.

Caution: This vehicle's warranty may be invalidated if

damage is caused by the use of incorrect engine oil. Low

quality or obsolete oils do NOT give the protection required

by modern, high performance engines.

Caution: Failure to use engine oil that meets the required

specification can cause excessive engine wear, a build up of

sludge and deposits, and increased pollution. It could also

lead to engine failure.

Caution: Care must be taken when oil is checked or

added. If oil drips onto any of the engine hoses, this can cause

them to swell and become damaged over time.

Engine Oil Level Check

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Run the engine until the oil temperature is 75°C or higher.

Engine oil temperature can be checked in the infotainment

system (Refer to ’Vehicle Menu’, page 4.13).

3. Once the oil temperature is at least 75°C, increase the

engine speed to 3000 rpm and hold for 30 seconds.

4. Turn the engine off.

For the oil level check process, the oil temperature must be

between 75°C and 85°C

5. Between 10 and 20 seconds after the engine is turned off,

unscrew the oil filler cap. Withdraw and wipe the dipstick

with a clean lint free cloth.

6. Fully insert the dipstick into the oil tank, and withdraw the

dipstick again.

Tyre Pressures

Make sure that correct tyre pressures are carefully maintained.

Road holding, steering, braking and tyre wear are especially

vulnerable to incorrect tyre pressures.

Check tyre pressures regularly and before starting any journey,

and adjust accordingly.

Tyre pressures increase slightly when the tyres are hot. For an

accurate reading, tyre pressures should be checked when the

tyres are cold. After adjusting the tyre pressures, make sure that

the valve caps are securely replaced to provide an additional air

seal and to prevent the ingress of dirt.

Maintenance and Technical Data

Tyre Information

Tyres of the correct type, manufacturer and dimensions, with

correct cold inflation pressures are an integral part of every

vehicle’s design. Regular maintenance of tyres contributes not

only to safety, but to the designed function of the vehicle.

Road holding, steering and braking are especially vulnerable to

incorrectly pressurised, badly installed or worn tyres.

Tyres of the correct size and type, but made by different

manufacturers can have widely varying characteristics.

Damage

Because of the high performance potential of this vehicle,

Aston Martin strongly recommend replacement of any damaged

or worn tyre.

Tyres should be examined at regular intervals for wear and

damage. Inspect the tyre treads and sidewalls for damage, i.e.

bulges in the tread or the sidewalls, cracks in the tread groove and

separation in the tread or the sidewalls. If damage is observed or

suspected have the tyre inspected by a tyre professional.

Stones or other objects which have become lodged in the tyre

treads should be carefully removed.

Flat Spots

It is a characteristic of high performance tyres that temporary ’flat

spots’ may develop if the vehicle is left standing in high or low

ambient temperatures for any length of time.

These ’flat spots’ will manifest themselves as minor vibrations

when the vehicle is first driven from cold. As the tyres warm up

to operating temperature, normal tyre shape should be restored

and the vibrations cease. If vibrations persist, consult your

Aston Martin Dealer.

Age

Local regulations on tyre life may apply.

Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It

is recommended that tyres generally be replaced after six years of

normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high

loading conditions can accelerate the aging process.

New Tyres

Each wheel and tyre unit must be balanced dynamically and

measured for Radial Force Variation (RFV) to make sure of

efficient steering, optimum tyre wear and maximum ride

comfort. Because of the potentially high speeds, it is essential that

wheel balancing is carried out when new tyres are installed.

Contact your Aston Martin Dealer for more information.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 16 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data

6.17

Running-In New Tyres

When new tyres have been installed, speed should be limited,

particularly during the first 80 km or so of driving. Fast cornering,

hard braking, and harsh acceleration should also be avoided

during this period.

Tread Wear Marks

Tread wear marks (A) are

incorporated into the

construction of all tyres. These

marks are integral moulded ribs

spaced at regular intervals around

the circumference of the tyre and

extend across the full width of the

tread, in all primary grooves.

When a tyre has worn causing one or more of the marks to be

flush with the outer face of the tread the tyre has reached its wear

limit. It then becomes illegal in certain countries and must be

replaced.

Summer Tyres

The recommended tyres for this vehicle are asymmetrical and

must be installed to the wheel with the tyre mark ‘OUTSIDE’ on

the outside of the wheel rim.

The tyres are also of different sizes on the front and rear axles,

therefore complete wheels cannot be swapped between axles.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 17 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

6.18

Maintenance and Technical Data

Winter Tyres

The tyres installed as original equipment are designed with a

rubber compound, tread pattern and width specially suited for

high speeds in normal road conditions, but they are less suitable

during extremes of low temperatures, snow and ice. The use of

winter tyres will considerably improve handling during these

conditions.

Warning: The maximum speed limit of the vehicle should

be reduced when winter tyres are installed. Winter tyre

speed limits and information should be provided upon

installation. Please consult your Aston Martin Dealer for

more information.

Winter tyres can not be fitted if the optional track clam is

installed.

Winter tyres must be used in vehicle sets, that is, installed on all

four wheels. Do not exceed the tyre speed rating when using

winter tyres.

Snow Traction Devices

Warning: The maximum speed when using snow traction

devices is 50 km/h (31 mph). Remove the snow traction

devices immediately when the roads are clear of snow.

These are for temporary use when driving in heavy snow

conditions. Snow traction devices should only be installed to the

rear (driven) wheels. For more information regarding the correct

snow traction device to fit to your vehicle, contact your Aston

Martin Dealer.

Electrical Systems

Fuses

The electrical systems are protected by fuses. If any lamps,

accessories, or controls do not function, inspect the applicable

fuse.

If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted. If the same

fuse blows again, avoid using that system and consult your Aston

Martin Dealer as soon as possible.

Battery Warnings

Warning: Do not allow flames, sparks or lighted

substances to come near the battery. Exposing battery cell to

excessive heat, fire or over voltage condition may cause a

leak, fire, hazardous vapors and hazardous decomposition

products. Damaged or opened cells or batteries can result in

rapid heating and the release of flammable vapors.

Warning: Never place metal objects on the battery or

allow the positive terminal of the battery to contact parts of

the vehicle body. This can create a spark or a short circuit

which can ignite gases created when the battery is charged.

Warning: Never use a damaged battery. If a battery has

leaking fluids, do not touch the fluids. Contact an Aston

Martin Dealer for advice on safe disposal of the battery. In

case of skin contact with fluid, immediately wash thoroughly

with water for at least 30 minutes, until no evidence of the

fluid remains. Seek medical attention

Warning: In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub

eyes. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at

least 30 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no

evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention

Warning: Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Caution: The engine must never be run with the vehicle

battery disconnected. This can cause damage to vehicle

electrical modules.

Vehicle Battery: Super-B AMV Battery 12.9 Ah

HV Battery

Warning: The HV battery must never be used in a jump

start scenario to either supply or receive power. There is risk

of serious damage to the batteries and the electrical system

on one or both vehicles, which can cause injury or death.

Warning: Never connect external electrical equipment,

such as a battery charger, to the HV battery. There is risk of

serious damage to the batteries and the electrical system,

which can cause injury or death.

HV Battery:

The 300V battery is the main vehicle power source and acts as an

energy store to power the electronic components of the hybrid

drive system and is maintenance free. This battery must only be

checked by your Valkyrie Service Centre and is not user

serviceable.

Charging

The HV battery is not charged within the first two minutes

after each vehicle start.

The HV battery is charged using the E-Motor by using excess

engine power. There is no direct external charge point for the HV

battery. If the HV battery is drained down to 0% the vehicle must

be recovered to an Aston Martin Dealer.

12V Battery Level Protection

Using vehicle electrical systems such as the infotainment system,

with the ignition on, but the engine off, will drain the battery

charge.

To prevent battery voltage falling below the level required to start

the vehicle, the vehicle's battery monitoring system will shut

down non-essential electrical systems before this happens.

After approximately 2 to 10 minutes (dependent on the rate of

battery charge drain) a message is shown in the infotainment

display.

If a low battery warning message shows, connect the supplied

battery charger or conditioner. If running the engine to charge the

HV battery, allow the vehicle to idle for approximately 15

minutes. This will be sufficient to recharge the battery from 0% to

80%.

Vehicle Battery Disposal

The incorrect disposal of a vehicle battery can be extremely

hazardous to health and the environment. Most batteries contain

materials that, when disposed of incorrectly, may leak into the

environment. This can contribute to soil and water pollution and

endanger wildlife.

Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.

Follow your local authorised standards for disposal. Contact your

Aston Martin Dealer to find out more about recycling automotive

batteries. Do not dispose of your vehicle battery in the household

waste.

Battery Conditioner

Caution: Do not attempt to start the vehicle with a battery

conditioner connected to the mains supply.

The battery conditioner is only used to charge the 12V

battery.

If this vehicle is not going to be used for a period of time, and

mains power is available, use the supplied battery conditioner to

maintain the charge level of the 12V battery. When connected,

the battery conditioner will maintain a small trickle charge to

keep the 12V battery in a fully charged state. The battery

conditioner is designed for conditioning of partially or fully

charged batteries. It will not effectively charge a discharged

battery.

To attach the battery conditioner, remove the cover plate (A) and

attach the conditioner to the circular connector (B).

For further safety information and operating instructions, refer

to the instructions supplied with the battery conditioner.

Vehicle Care

Washing

Warning: Washing and polishing agents containing

silicone should not be applied to glass. This will reduce the

efficiency of the windscreen wipers, causing smears which

will reduce visibility, particularly during darkness and in the

rain.

Caution: Commercially operated automatic vehicle

washes are not recommended. Parts of the bodywork may

become damaged as the vehicle was not designed for use in

automatic car washes. The detergents used can also contain

certain chemicals which may, over time, be detrimental to

some exterior parts of the vehicle.

Caution: Jet washes and power operated mops are not

recommended. Prolonged usage of power operated mops

will also cause fine scratches in the paint surface.

Before this vehicle is washed, make sure the tow eye or front

jack adapter is not installed. The threaded hole for the tow eye

also functions as a drainage hole for the front clamshell.

Aston Martin are able to supply a range of products to clean and

protect your vehicle. Contact you Aston Martin Dealer for further

information.

During the winter months, it is advisable to wash the vehicle

more frequently, paying particular attention to the underside to

combat the detrimental effects of any salt and sand

contamination picked up from treated roads.

To delay the onset of corrosion developing on the brake

components, Aston Martin recommend that after washing this

vehicle, the vehicle should be driven a short distance to make

sure that all water and cleaning products have dried off.

For best results:

• Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunlight. Let the vehicle

cool before washing.

• Do not use household soaps or detergents.

• Do not direct water hoses at full force around the door and

seals.

• Do not use a brush on the car body as this will leave little

scratches.

Suggested washing method:

1. Fill two buckets with water. Add a mild neutral detergent, as

directed by the detergent manufacturer to one of the

buckets.

2. Use a hose to remove all dust and mud residue from the

vehicle. Don't use a strong jet, as this can rub grit over the

paint and scratch it.

3. Soak a large clean wash mitt or a soft clean sponge in the

soapy water, and begin applying it to the vehicle. Wash the

vehicle section by section, starting at the top. Circle around

the car several times, washing lower areas with each round.

Rinse the dirt out of the wash mitt or soft sponge in the

bucket with plain water frequently.

4. After one section is washed, rinse it with the hose before

moving on, don't let the soap dry on the paint as this can

stain it. Always keep the vehicle wet, this will prevent

droplets from drying on the paint and leaving water-spots.

5. Dry the car with a chamois leather before it air-dries.

Maintenance and Technical Data

Paint Work

Modern water based paints are much safer and more

environmentally friendly than solvent based paints. Water based

paints are however more susceptible to contamination and

marking by corrosive substances. The following list is not

exhaustive but does show the most common contaminants which

may adversely affect your paint work:

• Bird droppings,

•Antifreeze,

•Tree sap,

• Oils and greases,

•Insect remains.

Wash such substances from the vehicle using clean warm water

with vehicle shampoo at the earliest opportunity, especially in

sunny weather which can accelerate contamination.

Other groups of contaminants may be added to this list as

experience of water based paints and finishes increases.

Satin Paint

(Optional)

The Aston Martin new car warranty covers defects in

materials or workmanship of the paint work. The warranty

does NOT cover repairs to your satin or matt paint work

caused by negligence, lack of or improper maintenance such

as waxing or polishing the finish, environmental influences,

or improper repairs or damage that causes the satin finish to

become glossy.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 28 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data

6.29

In comparison to conventional paints with a gloss or metallic

surface, satin paint work must be cared for slightly differently. In

order to avoid damage to the satin paint work, make sure that the

cleaning and care points below are followed:

1. Only use cleaning products recommended by Aston Martin.

Abrasive cleaning products will change the satin appearance

of the paint and must not be used.

2. Do not polish or wax the paintwork. This can lead to

glossing of the paintwork.

3. Do not wash the car in an automatic car wash. This will

avoid particles such as sand and dust, from damaging the

painted surface.

4. Only use a soft sponge to clean the vehicle. Do not use

abrasive cleaning tools.

5. Remove insect remains, bird droppings, resins, tar spots,

fuels and oil immediately. Avoid strong rubbing while

cleaning the vehicle.

6. Any stickers applied to the paint work will leave a mark

when removed.

7. Repairs to the paint work must be completed by an Aston

Martin body shop.

Ceramic Brake Discs

To avoid possible damage to the ceramic brake discs, when

washing the road wheels with products or materials other than a

mild soapy water solution always remove the wheels from the

vehicle.

Road Wheels

To avoid possible damage to the alloy road wheels, wheel nuts

and wheel centre trims, from a build up of brake dust wash and

clean the alloy road wheels frequently, using a mild soapy water

solution only. Do not use chemical alloy road wheel cleaners, as

they can often have a high acid or alkaline content and could

cause discolouration. Always clean one wheel at a time and do

not allow the cleaning solution to dry on the wheel. Fully flush off

with clean water.

Headlamp Lenses

Only use a mild soapy water solution when washing the

headlamp lenses. Do not use cleaning materials which contain

solvents.

Cleaning materials which contain solvents, i.e. tar remover,

petrol, waxes or polishes, may damage the headlamp lens.

Maintenance and Technical Data

Under Bonnet Cleaning

Under bonnet cleaning using high pressure hoses or steam

cleaners should not be carried out. The electronic control

module connections and fuse boxes can be damaged by

indiscriminate use of high pressure cleaning equipment.

Polishing

Approximately twice a year, a good quality polish should be

applied to the body work and then buffed, using a soft lint free

cloth.

The alloy wheel rims should be treated with a cleaner which is

specifically manufactured for this purpose.

Care and Maintenance of Seat Belt Harnesses

To make sure that the restraint webbings are in correct working

order, regularly check the seat belt harnesses. Look for fraying,

cuts, burns and similar problems. Make sure that the latches and

buckles operate correctly. If a seat belt harness is not in good

condition or is not working correctly, consult an Aston Martin

Dealer.

To clean the seat belts, use warm water; do not use bleach,

solvents or dyes, as they can weaken the material. Allow the seat

belts to dry thoroughly before use.

Trim and Seats

Warning: Fumes from cleaning solvents may be

dangerous in confined spaces. Make sure that the vehicle is

well ventilated and follow the manufacturer’s printed

instructions when using these products.

The carbon fibre trim should be cleaned using a dry clean lint free

cloth.

Alcantara®

trimmed areas may be brushed with a soft brush, a

dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner.

To clean Alcantara, dust the material with care; moisten a soft

cloth or a sponge in clean water, wring it thoroughly and run it

over the whole Alcantara material, making sure not to wet it

excessively. Rinse the cloth or sponge and repeat as necessary.

Leave to dry overnight. Once dried, brush it delicately with a soft

bristle brush.

Stains from water based substances such as coffee, tea or soft

drinks should be cleaned as soon as possible with lukewarm

water. If necessary, use lemon juice to remove discolouration.

For stains that may coagulate, such as blood, rinse by dabbing

with clean water instead of warm water.

For stains that are not water soluble, rub with ethyl alcohol and

rinse with water.

Consult an Aston Martin Dealer for instructions on the removal of

more difficult stains such as oil, grease or ballpoint ink.

regulations. Dispose of empty sealant bottles together with

normal household waste.

Operation

Remove the tyre sealant kit from its location in the front stowage

compartment. Follow the instructions detailed on the lid.

Read the following instructions and warnings carefully before

using the tyre sealant kit. Compliance with these instructions is

vital to make sure of vehicle and user safety. Non-compliance

with these instructions means risking severe tyre damage and

hazardous vehicle behaviour which can lead to a road accident

involving damage to property or injury to persons.

• Make sure that the vehicle is parked far enough from traffic so

that there is no danger from passing vehicles and so that you

do not disrupt the traffic.

Warn other vehicles using the warning triangle.

• A maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) may not be

exceeded at any time after sealing the tyre with the system.

• The system provides only a temporary emergency repair for

continuing the journey up to 200 km (125 miles) or to the

nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

• If the nearest Aston Martin Dealer is over 200 km (125 miles)

away, arrange for collection with Aston Martin Assistance.

• The system will effectively seal a tyre that was punctured by

an object with a diameter of up to 6 mm. It is possible that a

tyre, especially with greater damage, will not be sealed. Do

not remove objects that punctured the tyre if they are still

lodged in the tyre.

• The sealant bottle needs to be exchanged before it expires.

Do not use the system after the expiry date on the sealant

bottle or casing has been reached. Contact your nearest Aston

Martin Dealer.

• Do not attempt to inflate other objects without using a system

adapter and do not inflate objects with a volume greater than

50 litre (air mattresses, rubber boats, etc.). Do not let the

system pump air for more than 10 minutes without stopping it

and allowing it to cool down.

Aston Martin Warranty

1 Valkyrie Warranty

Aston Martin gives a Warranty for each new Valkyrie vehicle and

each replacement vehicle or assembly manufactured or supplied

by the Company to be free from defects in material and

workmanship under normal use and service for the applicable

Warranty period.

The warranties provided herein are for the benefit of the original

purchaser and any subsequent owner during the relevant

Warranty Period (defined below) in the Serviced Countries

(defined below).

An Aston Martin vehicle is built and homologated to support the

Region for which it is manufactured and is compliant with the

local regulatory requirements of that Region. As a result, the

warranties cover Aston Martin vehicles that are built for and

supplied to the Region.

Warranty is only valid for region the vehicle is built for. If the

vehicle is imported or exported to another region the warranty

will no longer be valid.

For the purposes of this Owner’s Guide, Region means one of the

following territories:

•The Americas; or

• United Kingdom, Europe, Russia, Ukraine and South Africa;

• Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey; or

•Asia Pacific; or

•China; or

• Any other market that does not have an authorised Aston

Martin Dealer

'Serviced Countries' means either: (a) any country in the Region

from which your Aston Martin vehicle was purchased, where

there is an authorised Aston Martin Dealer; or (b) any country

agreed in writing with Aston Martin.

Tyres are covered separately by the tyre manufacturer.

Dealers are expected to offer assistance to the customer in

pursuing a claim against the tyre manufacturer.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 2 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Aston Martin Warranty

B.3

1.1 Warranty limitations

The Warranty is the only express Warranty applicable to your

Vehicle. Aston Martin neither assumes, nor authorizes anyone to

assume for it, any other obligation or liability in connection with

the Warranty. No person, including Aston Martin employees or

Valkyrie Service Centres, may modify or waive any part of the

Warranty.

1 a) Limitation of Remedies

Under the Warranty, it is agreed that the sole exclusive remedy

against Aston Martin and its authorised Dealers shall be for the

repair or replacement of defective parts as provided herein. The

sole purpose of this exclusive remedy shall be to provide for the

free repair and replacement of defective parts in the manner

prescribed in this Warranty.

This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its

essential purpose so long as Aston Martin, through its authorised

Dealers, is willing and able to repair or replace defective parts in

the prescribed manner.

Aston Martin and its authorised Dealers are not responsible to the

Owner for any losses, damages, costs or charges arising directly

or indirectly from: (I) any inconvenience or delay of work carried

out under the Warranty; (ii) any loss of transportation or use of

the Vehicle; (iii) the use of rental vehicles, fuel, telephone, travel,

meals or lodging; (iv) any loss of personal or commercial

property; (v) any loss of revenue; and/ or (vi) any other incidental

or consequential damages that may be incurred or suffered.

Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be recovered

unless applicable law prohibits their disclaimer. The Owner shall

not bring any warranty-related claim as a class representative, a

private attorney general, a member of a class of claimants or in

any other representative capacity. Aston Martin shall not be liable

for any damages caused by delay in delivery or furnishing of any

products and/or services.

1 b) Implied Warranties and Consequential Damages

Under the law of some jurisdictions, the Owner may be entitled

to the benefit of the implied warranties of merchantability or

fitness for intended purpose. These implied warranties are

limited to the extent allowed by law to the time period covered

by the written warranties, or the applicable time period provided

by law, whichever period is shorter.

Some jurisdictions do not permit a limitation on how long an

implied warranty will last, or on the exclusion or limitation of

incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may

not apply. The Warranty gives owners specific legal rights, and

they may also have other rights that vary between jurisdictions.

B.4

Aston Martin Warranty

1.2 Warranty Statement

Aston Martin warrants that during the Warranty period, if a

Vehicle is properly operated and maintained by the user in

accordance with the Maintenance section of the Owner’s Guide,

repairs required to correct defects in materials or workmanship

will be performed without charge; any component covered by

the Warranty found to be defective in materials or workmanship

will be repaired, or replaced, without charge. Aston Martin

Dealers will repair the Vehicle with genuine approved Aston

Martin parts.

1.3 Warranty Coverage

The Warranty covers any original or OEM component of the

Vehicle that is defective during the basic Warranty period, with

the exception of tyres, the items listed under paragraph 6.4,

normal maintenance items and regularly scheduled maintenance

parts and labour. The Warranty includes any part scheduled for

routine replacement during the Warranty period only if it is

defective. If a part fails at the same time it is due for replacement

it is not covered by the Warranty.

1.4 Exchange Parts Under Warranty

New parts will only be used for repairs at PDI and during the first

month or 1000 Km (600 miles) (which ever occurs first) from the

date the vehicle is handed over to the first retail customer.

Thereafter exchange parts must be used where available under

Aston Martin’s exchange plan. The Valkyrie Service Centre or

nominated dealer carrying out the warranty repairs will be

familiar with such plan.

2 Anti Perforation Corrosion Protection

Warranty

The Vehicle’s bodywork is protected by an Anti Perforation

Corrosion Warranty. Should any part of the bodywork of the

Vehicle suffer from anti- perforation corrosion during the

applicable warranty period, the panel(s) affected by the

perforation will be repaired or replaced.

The term ‘perforation’ means a hole that is caused by corrosion

that penetrates from the inner surface of a body panel or box

section outwards.

KY9Y-19A321-AA.book Page 4 Wednesday, November 3, 2021 8:41 AM

Aston Martin Warranty

B.5

3 Warranty Period

The period of cover for all types of warranty commences on the

day the vehicle is handed over to the first registered keeper of the

car.

The Vehicle Warranty period of cover is three years with

unlimited mileage.

The Anti-Perforation Corrosion Warranty period of cover is

ten years with unlimited mileage.

4 Who May Repair the Vehicle

Specialist Valkyrie Service Centres will be appointed by and

receive full technical support from Aston Martin. The Valkyrie

Service Centres will provide support and facilities for the servicing

and repair of the Vehicle. Only these specialist Valkyrie Service

Centres will, under the terms of this Warranty, repair or replace,

free of charge to the Owner, any part or assembly proved to

Aston Martin’s satisfaction to show a defect in materials or

workmanship within the applicable period. Additionally,

nominated Aston Martin Dealers may be appointed by Aston

Martin to supplement the Valkyrie Service Centre network.

6.5 Paint Surface and Corrosion Protection

Aston Martin is not responsible for any repair or replacement that

is required as a direct result of the following:

• Failure to properly maintain paint and bodywork by regular

cleaning in accordance with Aston Martin instructions.

• Factors beyond Aston Martin’s control, such as environmental

hazards (including industrial fallout, storm damage, acid rain)

and damage (including stone chips, scratches and use of

6.6 Other Exclusions

The Aston Martin warranty excludes liability for any lost time,

inconvenience, loss of transportation, or any other incidental or

consequential damage you (or anyone else) may incur as a result

of a defect covered by this warranty.

7 Customer Responsibility

This handbook describes the proper care and use of the vehicle.

Proper maintenance and use guard against major repair expenses

resulting from misuse, neglect or inadequate maintenance, and

may help increase the value that the customer may receive when

selling the vehicle.

The Customer is responsible to:

• Make sure that the vehicle is maintained in accordance with

the vehicle service and maintenance guide published in the

customer literature.

Failure to perform maintenance promptly and in accordance

with Aston Martin's specified service intervals will invalidate

warranty coverage on the parts affected.

• The customer is required to take the vehicle to an Aston

Martin Dealer or Valkyrie Service Centre for any warranty

repairs as soon as practicable after a defect is detected.

• Make sure that the Service and Maintenance schedule has

been stamped by the servicing dealer after the completion of

a scheduled service operation.

• Make sure that paint and bodywork is maintained by regular

cleaning in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s

instructions.

• Make sure that the body panels are examined annually by an

authorised Aston Martin Dealer and that this inspection is

recorded in the Owner's Handbook.

B.11

Warranty Coverage when Touring

Aston Martin has a comprehensive service network in most parts

of the world. An Aston Martin Dealer will carry out repairs under

the terms of the vehicle warranty where possible, but due to the

complex nature of this vehicle, work may need to be completed

at a dedicated Valkyrie Service Centre. If such work is required

your Aston Martin Dealer will arrange for your vehicle to be

transported to a Valkyrie Service Centre, providing the vehicle is

in the Region of original sale. Under normal circumstances, the

customer should not be required to pay for any warranty work

performed by an Aston Martin Dealer or Valkyrie Service Centre.

It is the customer’s responsibility to produce the warranty

documentation issued with the new vehicle. This establishes the

customers right to warranty coverage and the relevant

maintenance and service records. If the customer is unable do so,

the Dealer should seek advice from Aston Martin.

Consumer Law

The Warranty is a manufacturer’s warranty that supplements and

does not affect the Owner’s legal rights under the vehicle

purchase agreement or under applicable national legislation

governing the sale of consumer goods.

passengers take alternative onward transport. See Alternative

Travel Arrangements.

hours, Aston Martin Emergency Assistance shall arrange for

secure storage of the Vehicle until the next working day. The

Once the Vehicle is at a Dealership for repair, Aston Martin

Emergency Assistance will keep in contact with the Dealer to

follow the progress of the repair, and if necessary, arrange any

extension of a replacement vehicle with Aston Martin Customer

Service.

Use’ basis and you may be able to claim these back from your

insurance company.

You will be covered for costs of recovery and towing (including

any handling fee) but you may be charged for any costs incurred

if the Vehicle is, for example, disabled by floods or snow-affected

roads, is embedded in sand or mud, or is not easily accessible.

If your Vehicle cannot be repaired and / or recovery is initiated to

an Aston Martin Dealer, the Service Provider will provide

alternative travel options for you. You will be entitled to receive
