The incorrect disposal of a vehicle (lead-acid) 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. Call your
local authorised recycling centre to find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
Do not dispose of your vehicle battery in the household waste.

Insurance Accreditation
Conforms to the highest European accreditations for stolen
vehicle tracking systems - Thatcham, Incert (formerly Assuralia)
and SCM and is approved by major insurers.
Aston Martin Approved
The only vehicle tracking system approved for all Aston Martin
vehicles.
How the System Works
The Aston Martin Tracking system is supplied with two unique
driver cards. An authorised driver must have a driver card in their
possession when using the vehicle.
Do not leave the driver card inside the vehicle or with the
vehicle key. It should be kept in a safe place and always
separately from your vehicle keys.
The system arms when the vehicle ignition has been switched off
for 70 seconds and the driver card is out of range (approximately
3 metres).
The system will automatically disarm when the driver card is in
range of the vehicle.
If your vehicle is driven approximately 100 metres and the driver
card has not been detected, a silent alert is transmitted to the
Secure Operating Centre to inform the advisors of a potential
unauthorised movement of your vehicle. The advisor will then
contact you.
If the engine has been started and the driver card is not in your
possession, switch the ignition off and call the Secure Operating
Centre for advice to avoid an alert being generated.
The system will additionally send an alert if:
Your vehicle is lifted or towed away without the vehicle key.
Your vehicle battery is disconnected or discharged.
The GPS antenna has been disconnected.
A monthly health check message will also be sent to the Secure
Operating Centre to confirm full system functionality.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 15 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
2.16 Vehicle Security
If your Vehicle is Stolen
After an alert has been received, the Secure Operating Centre
advisor will attempt to contact you using the telephone number(s)
supplied at the time of registration. A minimum of two telephone
numbers must be provided at the time of activation of the
contract.
The Police will not be contacted until the advisors have spoken
with you. This is to comply with Police procedures so that Police
time is not wasted with false alarms.
Once the theft has been confirmed with you, the advisors will ask
you to contact the Police to report the theft and to call the advisor
back immediately with a Police incident number. Receipt of an
alert does not constitute a confirmed theft, as Police Forces
require key holder verification of a theft. The Secure Operating
Centre will then liaise with the relevant Police Force to recover
your vehicle.
If your vehicle is outside the UK, the Secure Operating Centre
work with the Police in their local language across Europe to
recover your vehicle quickly.
In order to prevent your vehicle being moved following a theft,
the Secure Operating Centre (under Police instruction) may
temporarily prevent the vehicle's engine from restarting.
Once the Police have secured the stolen vehicle, arrangements
are made with you for the vehicle to be collected. The Police may
require it to be taken to a secure compound for further
investigation.
You will be liable for any statutory Police recovery and storage
charges, payable directly to the Police.
Additional Information
False Alarms
To avoid unnecessary alerts, contact the Secure Operation
Centre to inform them of any potential false alarm. Excessive false
alerts may result in a charge.
Damage Check
If you are involved in an accident or if your vehicle battery has
been disconnected for any reason (for example, body work repair
or paint re-spray), you must call Aston Martin Tracking Customer
Services so that they can test the system to check that it is still
functioning correctly.
Change of Details
You must call Aston Martin Tracking Customer Services if any of
your personal details change. For example:
Change of address.
Change of mobile phone number.
Changing the registration plate on the vehicle.
Selling the vehicle.
New owner buying a pre-owned vehicle already fitted with
Aston Martin Tracking System.

Garage Door Opener
(Optional)
The garage door opener (HomeLink® Universal Transceiver)
buttons and transceiver are on the rear view mirror. The
transceiver can be programmed to operate up to three
transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates, home lights,
security systems, or other radio frequency operated devices.
Caution: As a security precaution make sure that all
programming is erased in the HomeLink system before selling
this vehicle.
For information or assistance, contact HomeLink at
www.homelink.com or call the HomeLink hot-line:
Toll-free: (0) 0800 046 635 465
or alternatively: +49 6838 907 277 (subject to charge)
(Difficulties may be experienced trying to reach the toll-free
number by some providers in certain countries.)
Alternatively, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: Do not use the transceiver with any garage door
opening system that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature
as required by safety standards. A garage door opening
system which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to
stop and reverse increases risk of serious injury or death.
Warning: When the transceiver is being programmed to a
garage door opening system, make sure that people, the
vehicle and objects are clear to prevent injury or damage as
the garage door or gate will operate during the
programming.
A full list of radio frequency operated devices can be either
obtained via the HomeLink Hot-line or through the HomeLink
compatibility list which is provided on the HomeLink website.
Keep the original transmitter for future use or programming
procedures if, for example, you purchase a new vehicle.
This device may suffer from interference if operated near to a
mobile or fixed station transmitter. This interference can affect the
hand-held transmitter as well as the in-vehicle transceiver.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorised modifications to this
equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

the door glass to the seals around the top of the door opening.
The window automatically lowers a small distance to clear the
door seal when a door is opened. When the door is closed, the
window automatically lifts against the body frame rubber seals.
Window Anti-Trap
The door windows use an anti-trap mechanism to prevent
accidental closure of a window on vulnerable parts of the body
or other obstructions. When the window motor sense an
obstruction, the window stops closing and then opens to release
the obstruction.

Occupant Restraint System
The system provides protection to the driver and all passengers in
a variety of impact conditions.
The system consists of:
Driver and front passenger safety belts with dual pre-
tensioners and load limiting systems.
Driver and front passenger dual-stage airbags.
Driver and front passenger seat side airbags.
Front Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) switch (Market
specific).
Driver and front passenger roof mounted curtain airbag
(coupe).
Driver and front passenger door mounted curtain airbag
(volante).
Driver knee bolster airbag.
Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) (volante)
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 10 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Before Driving 3.11
All of these systems are controlled by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC). In a collision the ORC will analyse information
from various sensors, such as crash and seat occupancy
conditions. Based on this information the system will deploy the
appropriate safety devices. During a crash, the ORC may or may
not operate the safety belt pre-tensioner(s) and none, one, or
both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints.
If the pre-tensioners or airbags do not operate in a collision it
does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather,
it means the system determined the accident conditions (crash
severity, belt usage, etc.) were not appropriate to operate these
safety devices.
Front airbags are designed to operate only in frontal and near-
frontal collisions, not rollovers, side-impacts, or rear-impacts
unless the collision causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
Determining if the System is Operational
The ORC warning symbol is shown in the instrument cluster
to give the condition of the system. A fault with the system is
shown by one or more of the following:
The warning symbol will flash or stay ON.
The warning symbol does not come ON immediately after the
ignition is set to ON.
A message will show in the right side instrument cluster
window with a description of the fault.
If either of these conditions occur, even intermittently, have the
restraint system serviced at your Aston Martin Dealer
immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not operate
correctly in the event of a collision.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 11 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
3.12 Before Driving
Seat Belts
Warning: Seat belts should not be worn with straps
twisted.
Warning: Seat belts are designed for adults; infants and
smaller children must be restrained in an approved child
safety seat.
Warning: Each belt assembly must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being
carried on the passengers lap. Do not put an adult seat belt
around two children.
Warning: When installed, the seat belt webbing must not
contact any sharp edges which could abrade or cut the
webbing during normal use or in an accident. If necessary,
the webbing must be protected.
Warning: Care should be taken to avoid contamination of
the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
Warning: Wearing your seat belt is crucial to your safety.
Not wearing a seat belt increases chance of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident.
Warning: Be sure that you and your passengers always
fasten their seat belts and use them correctly even though
airbags are provided.
Warning: Reclining the seat back decreases protection
provided by the seat belt in the event of a crash. Adjust the
seat back to an upright position. Make sure that the seat
back is locked in place, otherwise it could move forward in
the event of a sudden stop or crash and cause injury.
Warning: Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low across the
front of the pelvis, chest and shoulders; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the abdominal area must be
avoided.
Warning: Never place the shoulder portion of belt under
your arm or behind your back.
Warning: Always remove rigid or breakable objects i.e.
spectacles or a mobile phone, from your pockets. These
items could be trapped under seat belts, possibly causing
injury in the event of an accident.
Warning: Expectant mothers should seek medical advice
on the most appropriate way to wear the seat belt.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 12 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Before Driving 3.13
Warning: Seat belts must be kept clean so that the
retractor works correctly. Make sure that belt webbing is not
twisted, looped, frayed or obstructed in any way. If in doubt
about condition or operation of seat belt installation, have it
checked by your Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent seat belt adjusting
devices from operating, or prevent seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack. Never install accessories on
your seat belts.
Warning: Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.
Warning: It is essential to replace the entire seat belt
assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if
damage to the seat belt assembly is not obvious.
Warning: If it is necessary to replace a seat belt on this
vehicle then it MUST be replaced with an approved seat belt.
The approved seat belts for the front seats must also include
a load limiting system.
Pre-tensioner and Load Limiting
Front seat belts are equipped with dual pre-tensioners and load
limiting systems.
In most moderate frontal or near frontal accidents, the front
airbag and all pre-tensioner systems will deploy simultaneously.
The pre-tensioners take up slack in the seat belts as the airbags
are expanding. The load limiting system releases belt webbing in
a controlled manner to reduce belt force on a passenger’s chest.
In some moderate frontal or near frontal accidents, only the
pre-tensioner system will deploy.
Seat Belt Reminder
The seat belt reminder warning symbol in the instrument
cluster will come ON and warning sound will be heard for
six seconds (approximately) when the ignition is set to ON if the
driver or passenger
1
seat belt is not fastened. (Market
dependent.)
If the driver seat belt is not fastened after 60 seconds or if the
vehicle has reached a speed of 25 km/h, a warning sound will be
heard for 30 seconds, after which the warning sound will go ON
and OFF and the warning symbol will continue to show until the
seat belt is fastened.

3.14 Before Driving
Seat Belt Fastening
When parked on an incline, the seat belt may lock as it is
withdrawn. This is not a fault. If the mechanism locks, release the
belt tension and then pull the belt very gently to avoid operation
of the inertia lock.
Each seat has three point, inertia reel seat belts installed. Items 1,
2 and 3 show the three points of the seat belt. Item 3 is also the
location of the belt buckle.
The inertia belt reels will automatically tension the belts to
provide security with comfort. In the event of a collision or during
severe braking, the belt reels will lock.
To test the locking function of the retractor, quickly pull the seat
belt forward. If the seat belt does not lock, consult your Aston
Martin dealer
Pull out the seat belt, drawing the buckle over the shoulder and
across the chest.
Push the buckle into the belt buckle latch until a positive click is
heard.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 14 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Before Driving 3.15
Pull upwards on the diagonal belt to make sure that the latching
is secure and to remove all slack from the belt.
Check that the lap belt is installed snugly, low down across the
hips, and that there are no twists.
If it is necessary for a passenger to adjust their seat or seating
position during a journey, the belt tension might be disturbed.
The passenger should therefore (as soon as it is safe to do so)
gently pull down the shoulder run of the seat belt to create some
slack and then immediately release it to re-tension the belt for the
new seating position.
Seat Belt Unfastening
Push the button on the buckle. While holding the seat belt
buckle, allow the belt to slowly retract to its stored position.
Warning: Do not allow the belt to twist, or be looped,
frayed or obstructed in any way when the seat belt is
retracted back into its stowage position.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 15 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
3.16 Before Driving
Airbags
The purpose of the airbags is to provide additional protection for
the driver and passengers in the event of a serious impact (front
or side impacts). The airbags are supplementary to the seat belts.
Important airbag safety labels are located on the sun visors and
on the end of the instrument panel (passenger side). Make sure
that the instructions on these labels are read and complied with
before driving the vehicle.
The front driver's (A), passenger (B) and knee bolster airbag (C)
only deploy in a serious front collision.
The side airbags (D) located in the front seats and the curtain
airbag (E), located in the roof trim
1
or door

Airbag Deployment
Warning: The use of accessory seat covers may prevent
the deployment of the seat side airbags and increase the risk
of injury in an accident. Do not use accessory seat covers.
Warning: All passengers, including the driver, should
always wear seat belts, whether or not an airbag is provided,
to decrease the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.
Warning: No objects whatsoever should be attached to,
or placed on, the centre cover of the steering wheel or the
front passenger fascia panel. Such objects could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the
airbags to deploy.
The airbag system is not designed to protect against rear
impacts.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 17 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
3.18 Before Driving
Airbags inflate rapidly and with considerable force; there is
therefore a risk of death or serious injury such as fractures, facial
and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to passengers
who are not correctly restrained by seat belts or are not sitting
correctly when the airbags deploy. The risk of injury from a
deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim panel covering the
airbag.
The whole sequence of events from sensing the impact to full
inflation of the airbag takes place in a fraction of a second.
Do not change, modify or tamper with the steering wheel,
passenger side fascia or any other part of the airbag system. Such
actions could disable the system or cause inadvertent airbag
deployment.
The system will not deploy in the event of minor frontal or side
impacts, such as contacts when parking.
All work on the airbag system must only be carried out by an
Aston Martin Dealer.
Child Safety
Aston Martin strongly recommends:
That all children are sat in the rear passenger seats.
Always use ISOFIX anchors where available.
A child, regardless of age, should always be restrained
when travelling in a vehicle.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 18 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Before Driving 3.19
Warning: The seat belt reminder function is only designed
to recognise an adult sized occupant and will not be
activated by a child seat. If a child seat is to be secured to the
front passenger seat with a seat belt, make sure it is correctly
installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
A child seat that is not correctly restrained can cause an
infant or child to be seriously injured or killed in a crash.
Warning: Accident statistics show that children are
generally safer when correctly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat. A suitable child restraint, correctly
installed and used, provides the highest degree of protection
for infants and small children in most accident situations.
Warning: Do not allow children to travel in a vehicle
without being correctly restrained. An appropriate child seat
or harness should always be used.
Warning: Each seat belt assembly must be used by only
one passenger. It is dangerous to put a seat belt around a
child being carried on the passengers lap.
Warning: Make sure that an installed child seat does not
rest against the door, that the child sits correctly in the seat
and does not lean close to, or against, the door or window.
Your vehicle has the following devices for the installation of child
restraints:
Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD). (Refer to ’Passenger
Airbag Deactivation’, page 3.20)
Rear seat ISOFIX anchors with tether anchor points. (Refer to
’Child Seats - ISOFIX Installation’, page 3.23)
Passenger seat Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belts.
(Refer to ’Seat Position - Seat Belt Installation’, page 3.33)
Child Seat Belt Fastening
Warning: An infant or child that is not correctly
restrained can be seriously injured or killed in a crash. Seat
belts are designed for adults; infants and smaller children
must be restrained in an approved child safety seat.
Make sure that there is no slack in the webbing and that the
restraint installs correctly across the child's rib cage and hips.
These are the parts of the body most able to take the force of
impact.
The lap strap should pass across the top of the child’s thighs,
bearing on the pelvis, not on the abdominal area.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 19 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
3.20 Before Driving
Passenger Airbag Deactivation
Warning: Before installing a child seat on the front
passenger seat, the front passenger airbag must be set to
OFF.
Warning: Before driving always confirm that the PAD
switch is in the appropriate position according to your
requirements.
Warning: With the exception of installing a child seat on
the front passenger seat, never set the PAD switch to OFF.
The front passenger will not receive the added protection of
the airbag. Serious injuries or even death could occur.
The PAD switch does not set the front passenger seat side
impact airbags or the seat belt pre-tensioners to OFF.
Setting the Airbag to ON or OFF
The Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) switch allows the user
to manually set the front passenger airbag to OFF. When the PAD
switch is set to OFF, a child seat can be installed on the front
passenger seat.
The PAD switch is located on the passenger end of the instrument
panel and is accessible when the passenger door is open.
Insert the emergency vehicle key into the PAD switch and turn
clockwise for the OFF position (airbag off) or counter-clockwise
for the ON position (airbag on). Remove the key.

Child Seats and Front Passenger Airbag
Warning: Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion on the front passenger seat if the airbag is
set to ON.
Warning: With the exception of installing a child seat on
the front passenger seat, do not set the PAD switch to OFF,
as the front passenger will not receive the added protection
of the airbag. Serious injuries or even death could occur.
In the event of a serious frontal or side collision the vehicle airbag
system is designed to deploy, to provide additional protection for
the front seat occupants.
If a child seat is to be used in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must be set to OFF (Refer to ’Passenger Airbag
Deactivation’, page 3.20). Make sure that the child seat
manufacturer’s installation instructions are followed correctly.
The PAD switch does not set the front passenger side impact
airbags or the seat belt pre-tensioners to OFF.
Warning Labels
Warning: Extreme Hazard: NEVER use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the Child can
occur.
Warning labels are located on both sides of the passenger sun
visor and on the passenger end of the instrument panel.

on the tether strap between the child seat and the tether
anchor point. Do not place tether strap over any items
between the child seat and the tether anchor point.
Warning: An unsecured child seat is dangerous. In a
sudden stop or a collision it could move, causing serious
injury or death to the child or other passengers. Make sure
the child seat is correctly secured in place according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

3.30 Before Driving
Warning: When installing the child seat, make sure that
there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or around the
ISOFIX anchors. If seat belts or a foreign object prevents the
child seat from being securely attached to the ISOFIX
anchors, the child seat could move in a sudden stop or
collision causing serious injury or death to the child or other
passengers.
Warning: Make sure that the child seat tether strap is
always used when installing a child seat with ISOFIX anchors.
A tether is a strap that connects the top of a child seat to a tether
anchor point on the vehicle to reduce excessive movement of the
child seat in the event of a collision. The purpose of a tether strap
is to provide additional protection for the child seat occupant in
the event of a serious impact. The tether strap is supplementary
to the seat belts.
Your vehicle has a tether anchor point for both rear passenger
seats.
Rear Seats
The tether anchor point for the rear passenger seat is located
behind the top of the rear seats. The covers for the anchors are
embossed with the tether anchor symbol.

Before Driving 3.31
Push down on the front of the cover for the tether anchor to
release the spring clip.
Remove the cover for the tether anchor (B)
Engage the tether clip to the anchor point at the top of the parcel
shelf (C) and make sure that the locking spring has fully closed to
prevent accidental disengagement. Always make sure that the
tether strap length is adjusted to remove any slack.
To refit the cover for the tether anchor, insert the two tabs into
the slots. Push down on the front of the cover to lock.

Seat Position - Seat Belt Installation
Warning: Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for correct installation. Not following the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions when installing the child
seat is dangerous.
Warning: Seat belt installed child restraints are designed
to be secured by the lap belt and shoulder portion of the
safety belt. Children could be endangered in a crash if their
child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) system is designed to
securely hold child seats. The ALR system temporarily locks a seat
belt that is securing a child seat.
ALR Operation
Gently pull out the seat belt until fully extended. The ALR system
will only engage at the maximum extension point of the seat belt.
Thread the belt tongue through the child seat as per the child seat
manufacturer instructions. Engage the tongue into the belt
buckle.
Adjust the tongue position on the belt to make sure that the lower
belt run is tight and then allow the upper run of the seat belt to
fully retract until the child seat is securely held. The ALR system
will be heard ‘clicking’ as the seat belt retracts.
When fully retracted, pull down on the upper run of the belt to
check that the ALR lock has engaged.
When parked on an incline, the seat belt may lock as it is
withdrawn. This is not a fault. If the mechanism locks, release the
seat belt tension and then pull the seat belt very gently to avoid
operation of the inertia lock.
The ALR system will disengage when the seat belt is fully
retracted. The seat belt may then be worn when required as a
normal seat belt. Once the ALR is disengaged, the seat belt must
be fully extended to re-engage the system on the next occasion
that a child seat is installed.

will stay low as if in night time mode. For example, when parked
in a garage.
The level of brightness can be reduced by using the illumination
dial (A).
Reading Lamps
Two reading lamps are located in the front header trim. To
operate the lamps (on or off) touch the reading lamp bezel (A).
Unless set to off or on they will continue to operate up to six
minutes after the ignition is set to off.
An additional rear reading lamp can be found in the centre of the
rear header.

5.2 Driving
Driving Techniques
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.
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.
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/900miles.
Track Days
Before using this vehicle on track days contact your Aston Martin
Dealer for vehicle set up, service parts and recommendations.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 2 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Driving 5.3
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 bumper. Water can be splashed up into the
engine air intakes located in the front upper grille and cause
extensive damage to the engine or the vehicle may stall.
Always proceed with extreme caution, especially when the
depth is not known.
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.
Waves caused by other vehicles or natural causes can also
splash water in the engine air intakes.
Tyre Skip At Low Speed
In certain conditions, the front tyres mayskip 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.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 3 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.4 Driving
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: In extreme low temperatures (-20°C and below)
do not run the engine above 4000 rpm, while at standstill or
when moving off, until the coolant temperature gauge
reaches normal operating temperature. Revving the engine
before fully warmed up may cause severe engine and
transmission damage.
Caution: Make sure the park brake is applied and the
transmission is in PARK (P).
To start the engine, fully press the brake pedal down and press
START/STOP (A). The button bezel will flash red once and the
steering lock will release.
Once the begins to crank, release START/STOP.
Starting From Cold
The engine management system automatically compensates for
cold or warm start conditions and makes appropriate adjustments
to the fuel and air mixture and ignition timing.
Stopping The Engine
Press START/STOP to stop the engine.
Quiet Start
Push and hold START/STOP for 3 seconds to use the Quiet Start
feature. The button bezel will flash red twice to confirm. In Quiet
Start, the volume of the exhaust note is reduced on engine start.

Driving 5.5
Transmission Controls
The automatic transmission has two main driver modes.
Automatic Mode
In Automatic mode, gearshifts are made using the Park, Reverse,
Neutral and Drive (PRND) buttons mounted on the centre stack.
While driving forward, gearshifts are made automatically
according to various driving parameters, i.e. road speed, current
selected gear and accelerator demands. When the vehicle is
stationary, the transmission will select first gear, ready to move off
immediately when the accelerator is pressed.
While in Automatic mode, move to Touchtronic mode at any
time by pulling back on either the upshift or downshift paddles,
mounted behind the steering wheel. As a paddle is pulled back a
gearshift will occur, which will be an upshift or downshift
according to which paddle is pulled.
Kick-Down
In Automatic mode, kick-down is used in circumstances where
rapid acceleration is required, i.e. when overtaking. Kick-down
operates when the accelerator pedal is quickly and fully
depressed, causing the transmission to change down to the
lowest gear possible to achieve maximum acceleration. The gear
engaged depends on the road speed at the time of kick-down.
Touchtronic Mode
In Touchtronic mode, forward gears and Neutral are selected by
using the paddles located behind the steering wheel. Reverse and
Park are selected by using the PRND buttons.
While in Touchtronic mode, move to Automatic mode at any
time by pressing the D (Drive) button, or by pulling and holding
the upshift (+) paddle until Drive is selected.
Select Neutral by pulling on both the upshift and downshift
paddles at the same time.
Neutral can also be selected by pressing the N (Neutral)
button.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 5 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.6 Driving
PRND Buttons
[1] P (PARK): Press and release to select Park when the vehicle is
stationary. The transmission will mechanically lock.
Caution: Always make sure that the park brake is ON. This
will help to make sure the vehicle will not roll.
It is not possible to select Park above 2 km/h.
[2] R (REVERSE): When stationary and with the footbrake
applied, press and release to select Reverse. When reverse is
selected, the infotainment screen will change to show the reverse
camera display.
[3] N (NEUTRAL): Press and release to select Neutral.
Caution: Do not change from Park or Neutral into Drive
or Reverse at high engine speed. Doing so can damage the
transmission or the engine.
[4] D (DRIVE): When stationary and with the footbrake applied,
press and release to select forward gears.
Vehicle Rocking Motion
If the vehicle speed is less than 4 km/h, reverse may be selected
from drive, without pressing the brake pedal, to create a vehicle
‘rocking’ motion i.e. to enable vehicle movement out of mud,
snow, etc. If 4 km/h is exceeded then the transmission will
automatically select Neutral.

Driving 5.7
Touchtronic Controls
Forward gearshifts are selected by pulling back and releasing the
gearshift paddles mounted on the steering column. Neutral is
selected by pulling back both paddles together and releasing.
P (Park) and R (Reverse) are selected with the centre stack
mounted PRND buttons.
[1] : Downshift Paddle
[2] : Upshift Paddle
Neutral can also be selected by pressing (N) Neutral on the
centre stack.
Pull back on either the upshift (+) or downshift (-) paddle to enter
Touchtronic mode. As the vehicle speed increases and decreases,
make upshifts and downshifts by pulling and releasing the upshift
or downshift paddle.
If no gearshift has been requested by pulling back on a paddle,
upshifts will occur automatically (Drive mode dependant
1
) if the
engine speed rises or lowers to its maximum or minimum
operating limits.
If driving in a high gear, pull and hold the downshift paddle to
select the lowest available gear. For example, if in sixth gear then
second gear is selected.
When stationary, select Neutral by pulling back on both paddles
at the same time. When selecting Neutral from Park, the brake
pedal must be depressed.
When in touchtronic mode, pull back on the upshift paddle for
more than two seconds to move to auto drive mode.
The centre message centre shows the actual gear currently
selected R, D1, D2, etc and the target gear when a gearshift is in
progress (either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, R or P).
Gear Shift Indicator
The centre message window shows the current gear selected with
an up arrow to indicate when a gear change should take place to
obtain better fuel economy. For example, when in third gear and
a higher gear needs selecting 3 ^ is shown in the centre message
window.

Cruise Control with Speed Limiter
Warning: Only use cruise control or the variable speed
limiter if road and traffic conditions are appropriate for
maintaining a steady speed for a prolonged period. If you do
not, this may cause an accident or collision resulting in death
or serious injury.
Warning: Both cruise control and the variable speed
limiter are aids and cannot take into account road, weather
or traffic conditions. You are responsible for vehicle speed,
braking in good time, controlling the distance to any
vehicle(s) in front and for staying in the correct lane.
The cruise control system should not be used when:
road and traffic conditions do not allow you to maintain a
constant speed, e.g. in heavy traffic or on winding roads.
driving on smooth or slippery roads. Braking or accelerating
can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
could then skid.
visibility is poor, such as fog, heavy rain or snow.
Selecting Cruise Control or Speed Limiter
Press the selector button (A) to switch between cruise control and
variable speed limiter function. If the LIM indicator light (B) is set
to ON, variable speed limiter is active.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 8 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Driving 5.9
Operation
Cruise control can be used to maintain a selected vehicle speed
without having to use the accelerator.
The variable speed limiter brakes automatically so that you do
not exceed the set speed. This feature is an aid only and cannot
take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. You are
responsible for vehicle speed, as well braking in good time, the
distance to any vehicle(s) in front and for staying in the lane.
Both cruise control and variable speed limiter only operate at
speeds above 30 km/h
When cruise control or variable speed limiter is active, the
tachometer in the instrument cluster changes to vehicle speed.
Setting A Speed
Lightly push the cruise control lever up to increase speed, or
down to decrease speed in 1 km/h (1 mph) increments. A hard
press in either direction will increase in 10 km/h (5mph)
increments. Pushing the cruise control lever in either direction
will set a new vehicle speed in the cruise control or new vehicle
speed limit.
Cruise control will automatically disengage when the brake
pedal is pressed or when the vehicle speed falls below 30 km/h
(18 mph).
The variable speed limiter is not deactivated when the brake
pedal is pressed.
Resuming the Set Speed
Warning: Set speed should only be resumed if the driver
is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it.
Cruise control will not resume at speeds below 30 km/h.
Pull the cruise lever towards you to resume the set cruise control
speed or speed limit.
If the vehicle is accelerated above the set speed, then the set
cruise speed will be resumed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
If the cruise control is deactivated, or the brake pedal is pressed,
cruise control will disengage but the set speed memory will be
kept. Pull the cruise control lever again and the vehicle will return
to the set speed.

to casual and motorway driving.
The transmission is set to use a base transmission
calibration when in Drive to suit a touring style of driving. In
Touchtronic mode, gear shifts take place automatically if engine
speed exceeds 6800rpm.
Cylinder Deactivation (Refer to ’Cylinder Deactivation’, page
5.27) and Stop/Start (Refer to ’Stop/Start’, page 5.28) functions
are available to improve fuel economy.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 11 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.12 Driving
Sport Mode
Sport mode uses a more aggressive transmission
calibration, but still with a level of comfort when
changing gear.
The transmission now uses a more aggressive calibration when in
Drive, yet still comfortable enough to be used for general driving.
In Touchtronic mode, the transmission will only automatically
make a change from 1
st
into 2
nd
gear.
The exhaust bypass valves operate at lower engine speed to give
a sense of increase driver involvement.
Cylinder Deactivation is disabled in Sport mode, but engine Stop/
Start is still available to use.
The Stop/Start(Refer to ’Stop/Start’, page 5.28) function is
available to improve fuel economy.
Sport+ Mode
Sport+ mode further increases transmission and engine
response.
The transmission is now set to use an even more
aggressive calibration than used in Sport, with the exhaust bypass
valves also revised to open at lower engine loads and speed.
Gearshifts are not done automatically from 2nd gear onwards in
Touchtronic mode, allowing the driver to hold on to individual
gears.
Both Cylinder Deactivation and engine Stop/Start functions are
disabled in Sport+ mode
Sport+ mode also adds a transmission temperature gauge (C) to
the left instrument cluster window.

Blind Spot Assist
Warning: Blind Spot Assist is for visual aid only and does
not replace the need for driver awareness. It is the driver's
responsibility to be aware of their surroundings and make
sure it is safe to complete a lane change. Always make sure
that there is a suitable distance to the side of your vehicle for
other road users and obstacles.
Warning: The Blind Spot Assist system can not react to
vehicles which approach and overtake you at a greatly
different speed. In these situations, the Blind Spot Assist
system cannot provide warning to drivers. Always pay
attention to the road traffic around you.
Blind Spot Assist is used to help a driver know if a vehicle is in
their blind spot so that a lane change action can be safely
completed.
The BSA system uses two rear-facing radar units to monitor the
area up to 3.5m (12 ft) behind your vehicle and 3m (10 ft) directly
next to your vehicle.
If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approximately 30 km/h
(18 mph) and enters the monitoring range directly next to your
vehicle, the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will illuminate
amber. If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in the lateral
monitoring range and you switch on the turn signal indicator in
that direction, an acoustic warning signal sounds once. The
amber warning lamp in the outside mirror will flash. If the turn
signal indicator remains on, all other detected vehicles are
indicated only by the flashing of the amber warning lamp. If you
overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is given.
The system can monitor vehicles when driving around curved
roads.
Operation Conditions
For the Blind Spot Assist system to operate the below conditions
must be met:
Transmission must be in D (Drive).
The vehicle must be travelling at a speed of more than 30 km/
h (18 mph).
Vehicles in the blind spot area must be travelling at speeds of:
more than 5 km/h (3 mph).
between 5 km/h (3 mph) slower and 35 km/h (22 mph)
faster that your vehicle.
The minimum width for a vehicle to be detected is 0.7m wide
(a motorcycle for example).

System Limitations
The BSA system can be limited in its operation in the below
situations:
The sensors are dirty or obstructed such as snow or mud on
the bumpers.
Poor visibility weather conditions (snow, fog, heavy rain etc).
Warnings may be incorrectly displayed near to crash barriers
or long solid barriers.
Warnings can be interrupted when driving alongside long
vehicles such as vehicles with long trailers.
System activation
The BSA system can be activated or deactivated in the instrument
cluster menu (Refer to ’Instrument Cluster Menu’, page 4.12).
Blind Spot Warnings
Stage One Warning
When the BSA system detects a vehicle in the driver's blind spot
area, an amber LED triangle (A) will be shown in the top outer
corner of the door mirror.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 14 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Driving 5.15
Stage Two Warning
The BSA system will be set to stage two if:
A vehicle is detected in the blind spot area.
The indicator is used to signal movement into that lane.
When this happens, the below actions will take place.
The amber triangle in the door mirror will flash.
An audible warning chime will sound.
A warning symbol will show in the instrument cluster (changes
for direction of lane change).
Fault Conditions
In the unlikely event of a fault in the BSA system, a warning
message will also show in the instrument cluster. Contact your
Aston Martin Dealer.

Adaptive Damping
The Adaptive Damping System (ADS) uses sensors to
continuously monitor vehicle body movement and driver inputs,
such as steering, braking and throttle input. The system then
adjusts the suspension damping characteristics to suit the
conditions.
Three adaptive damping modes are available. Press the
DAMPING button (A) to cycle between:
GT (Default setting)
•Sport
•Sport+
ADS will be set to GT mode at each ignition on.
ADS modes operate independently of Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) and drive modes.
The selected adaptive damping mode is shown in the left
instrument cluster window (B). The ADS mode will also be briefly
shown in the right instrument cluster window when the ignition
is set to ON or when the ADS mode is changed.
GT
GT mode provides a default comfort setting for the
suspension, suitable for everyday use.
Sport
Sport mode changes the damping characteristics with
increased body control and a firmer ride. Steering weight
is also increased to enhance steering response and
feedback.
Sport+
Sport+ mode further increase the stiffness of the
damping, more suitable for track focused driving.

Driving 5.17
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. Contact
your Aston Martin Dealer.
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. Contact
your Aston Martin Dealer.
If vacuum boost or a brake circuit fails, the footbrake will
still operate, but with greater pedal pressure, increased pedal
travel and longer stopping distances. Contact your Aston
Martin Dealer.
Vacuum boost is only available with ignition at position II or
while the engine is running.
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 footbrake uses a vacuum boosted, 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
for over 3 seconds, the engine will restrict available torque.
Normal functionality will return when the throttle pedal is
pressed without the brake pedal.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 17 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.18 Driving
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 comes ON while driving, the
brake system has a fault and braking performance may be
affected.
If the brake warning symbol comes ON while driving:
The brake booster system has a fault and braking performance
may be affected.
The brake fluid level is insufficient.
A message will also show in the right instrument cluster
window 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 Warnings
Warning: If the ABS warning symbol comes ON, you
should be aware that wheels could lock during extreme
braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
ABS is monitored for correct operation while the ignition is ON.
If a fault is detected, the will come ON and the ABS will be
either partly or fully OFF. Normal braking will continue to
function without ABS.
In the event of an ABS fault, have the braking and ABS systems
checked immediately by an 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 right instrument cluster
window with further information.
Drive on carefully and have the braking and ABS systems
checked immediately by an Aston Martin Dealer.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 18 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Driving 5.19
Anti-Lock Braking System
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.
Two-Stage ABS
The ABS features two levels of calibration that change depending
on Electronic Stability Program (ESP) setting (Refer to ’ESP
Modes’, page 5.22).
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 your Aston Martin Dealer.

5.20 Driving
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
1
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 the park brake switch (A) in
and release. The warning symbol in the instrument cluster
will come on when the park brake is applied. The stop lamps will
not come ON.

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.
The Electronic Stability Program (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 tyre
chains.
Caution: Use tyres of the same manufacturer, brand, type,
tread pattern and correct size specified in this handbook
(Refer to ’Summer Tyres’, page 12.20)for this vehicle on all
four road wheels. Do not mix new and worn tyres on the
same axle.
ESP Modes
ESP has three modes of operation:
ON:
ESP defaults to ON each time the engine is started. The will
flash in the instrument cluster when in operation. ABS is set to
stage one. Engine torque and application of the brakes at
individual wheels will be controlled by ESP to aid stability.
TRACK MODE:
Warning: TRACK MODE and is intended for use on a dry
track. Greater driver input will be required to maintain
vehicle stability.
Track mode raises the thresholds at which the ESP operates and
allows greater wheel slip from the Traction Control System (TCS).
Active Yaw Control (AYC) is also modified to allow a higher level
of yaw. ABS is set to stage two. When the ESP is set to track, the
message ESP TRACK will be shown in the left instrument cluster
window.
OFF:
ESP no longer controls engine torque, and both TCS and AYC are
disabled. ABS will remain in stage two. ESP OFF will show in the
left instrument cluster window when the ESP is set to off.

Driving 5.23
Two-Stage Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) will change its operation
depending on ESP mode.
Stage One
When ESP is set to ON, the ABS is tuned to give a level of vehicle
performance, control and stability under braking that will cover
everyday driving situations and weather (dry, wet, ice and snow).
Stage Two
When ESP is set to Track or OFF, 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.
When the ABS is set to stage two, the ABS is applied in the
following ways:
The Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) increases
braking force to the rear of the vehicle. This is done by
allowing a greater level of slip at the rear axle and a quicker
increase in pressure in the rear brakes. Cornering agility will
be enhanced when braking, but the driver will experience
more vibration through the brake pedal.
The ABS will allow more slip when the tyres are at a higher
working temperature, such as when the vehicle is driven on a
track. The driver will have more control over brake
performance before the ABS is activated.
Braking performance is given greater priority over stability in
areas with different friction surfaces. Increased steering input
is required to maintain the direction of travel, but optimum
vehicle deceleration is achieved.
The ABS provides a more aggressive pressure increase for
situations where a wheel can become temporarily unloaded,
such as in track sections featuring fast, tight corners, strong
cambers or high-speed crests.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 23 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.24 Driving
Dynamic Torque Vectoring (DTV)
Dynamic Torque Vectoring (DTV) 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. DTV is always active, but is more responsive when
the ESP is set to either Track or OFF.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) is a function of ESP and 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.
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 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 cruise control is on it will automatically go OFF when ESP is
operating.
If traction control operates when driving on extended icy or
slippery surfaces, reduce engine power as necessary until the ESP
warning symbol goes OFF.

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 (Refer to ’Tyre Pressures’, page 12.18) 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.
Tyre Pressure Display
The TPMS display is shown in the right window of the instrument
cluster. Use the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel to
navigate to Service and select Tyre Pressure.
Tyre pressures will be displayed in the instrument cluster after
the vehicle has been driven for a few minutes.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 25 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.26 Driving
Tyre Pressure Indicator
If an under-inflated tyre is detected by the system, the TPMS
symbol is solidly illuminated.
The message centre will also display one of the below messages:
Please Rectify Tyre Pressures: At least one tyre has too low a
pressure. Tyre pressures should be checked and corrected
when possible.
Check Tyre(s): At least one tyre has significantly low pressure.
The tyre pressures must be checked and corrected as soon as
possible.
Warning Tyre Defect: At least one tyre has lost pressure very
suddenly. The vehicle should be stopped as safely as possible
and the tyres checked.
Once the message has been acknowledged an image of the
vehicle will be displayed in the message centre showing which
tyre(s) have low or high air pressure and the current tyre pressure.
When the tyre pressure indicator comes ON, stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate or deflate them to the
correct pressure.
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 Reset
All warning messages are erased and warning lamps go out
when the TPMS is reset. The TPMS will use the new tyre pressure
values as reference values.
To reset the TPMS tyre pressure values:
Use the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel to navigate to
Service.
•Navigate to Tyre Pressure
•Select Use Current Pressures as New Reference Values
The TPMS will now reset. After a short period of driving, the
system checks if the tyre pressures are within the specified
range. The new tyre pressures are then used as the new
reference values.

TPMS Malfunction Warning
If the TPMS malfunctions due to a system failure or tyre
transmitter fault, will flash for approximately one minute
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.
Radio Equipment Directive
Hereby, Schrader Electronics Ltd., declares that this TPMS is in
compliance with the essential requirements and other provisions
of directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be

Eco Driving Features
Cylinder Deactivation
Cylinder deactivation is only available when drive mode is set
to GT.
Cylinder deactivation is used to shut off one bank of the engine
when it is under light load. The system will operate at speeds
between 30 mph (48 km/h) and 80 mph (130 km/h) from 4th
gear and above, so is well suited to motorway driving.
When cylinder deactivation is in operation, the engine switches
which bank is disabled to keep the catalysts at correct operating
temperatures. Both banks will then become active immediately
during acceleration, with no delay in engine performance.

Park Assist Systems
Warning: The park assist systems are for aid only. It is the
driver's responsibility to be aware of their surroundings
when parking or reversing.
Park Distance Control
Caution: It is always the driver’s responsibility to detect
obstacles and estimate the vehicle’s distance from them.
Some overhanging objects, barriers, thin obstructions or
painted surfaces which could possibly cause damage to the
vehicle may not be detected by the system. Always be aware
of your surroundings when using the park assist systems.
Caution: Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp
objects. This can damage the sensors.
For reliable operation, the sensors in the front and rear
bumpers should be kept free from ice, frost and grime. If a high
pressure spray is used to clean the vehicle, the sensors should
only be sprayed briefly and not from a distance of less than 200
mm.
The Park Distance Control (PDC) system will give a series of
warning tones if objects are detected within range of the vehicle.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 29 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.30 Driving
Activation
PDC will activate automatically at ignition on and when D
(Drive), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral) is selected. The sensors
activated depend on which gear is selected.
Deactivation
PDC will deactivate when the vehicle speed exceeds 11 mph (18
km/h). The system is reactivated automatically when the vehicle
speed is lower.
To manually deactivate PDC press . The indicator LED will
be set to off to show the system is deactivated.
Operation
Caution: In heavy rain or similar adverse conditions, the
PDC sensors may not always be able to accurately measure
distance to close objects. A fully laden vehicle or irregular
obstacles may also cause inaccurate measurements. Take
extra care in these circumstances.
If an obstacle is detected to the front or rear of the vehicle, a
series of warning tones will be heard from the front or rear
speaker respectively. The frequency of the warning tones
increase as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The beep becomes a continuous tone when an obstacle is
detected at or within approximately 300 mm from the rear or
250 mm from the front of the vehicle.
The LED will flash if a fault is detected in the system and a single
three second tone will be heard (only once per ignition cycle).
The system is automatically disabled when a fault is detected.
If an ultrasonic frequency using the same frequency band as
the sensors is detected, the PDC system can give spurious
warning tones.
The PDC system uses inner and outer sensors. When
manoeuvring forward into a garage, the front outer sensors will
cease detection if they detect a stationary or receding object for
three seconds or more. This allows detection directly in front or
behind the vehicle in this type of manoeuvre.
(D) Drive Front sensors only.
(R) Reverse, (N) Neutral Front and rear sensors.
(P) Park Sensors off.

Active Park Assist
(Optional)
Active Park Assist measures the road on both sides of the vehicle
to locate a parking space the vehicle will fit in. The active park
system will also provide vehicle steering to assist parking in
spaces.
Important Safety Information
Active Park Assist is only an aid. It is the driver's responsibility to
be aware of their surroundings when parking or reversing. Make
sure that no persons, animals or objects are in the vehicle's path.
Active Park Assist is not available if PDC is deactivated or not
functioning.
Warning: While parking, the vehicle can move into areas
of oncoming traffic. This can cause a collision with other
road users. Stop the vehicle or cancel the Active Park Assist
parking procedure if necessary.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 31 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
5.32 Driving
Caution: Parking spaces that are partially occupied may be
measured incorrectly. Examples of partially occupied parking
spaces can be trailer draw bars, over grown parking spaces or
incorrect measurement due to heavy rain or snow. Care
should be taken to make sure the space is clear.
Caution: Active Park Assist will not be able to detect
objects above the sensor height range when a parking space
is measured. These object will not be included when the
parking procedure is calculated. Active Park Assist should not
be used around objects such as overhanging loads or tail
sections of goods vehicles.
Active Park Assist can be cancelled at any time by manually
controlling the steering wheel.
Active Park Assist may also display parking spaces that are not
suitable such as prohibited parking zones, driveways or
unsuitable road surfaces.
Active Park Assist should only be used for roads that are
parallel or at right angles to the direction of travel and on the
same road level. The system should not be used for measuring
spaces on bends or on raised footpaths.
Parking Space Detection
Active Park Assist operates at speeds of up to approximately
22 mph (35 km/h).
Active Park Assist is activated automatically when driving
forwards and independently locates and measures parking spaces
on both sides of the vehicle.
At speeds below 18 mph (30 km/h), will show in the
instrument cluster. When a parking space has been detected that
the vehicle will fit into, a left or right arrow will show which side
of the vehicle the space is on.
Active Parking Assist will only detect parking spaces:
that are parallel to the direction of travel and at least 1.5 m
wide and 1 m longer than your vehicle.
that are at right angles to the direction of travel and at least 1
m wider than your vehicle.
Active Park Assist is not able to measure the depth of a
parking space if it is at right angles to the vehicle. You must judge
if your vehicle will fit in the parking space
The system automatically determines if the parking space is
parallel or at right angles to the direction of travel.
A parking space is displayed while you are driving past it, until
you are approximately 15 m away from it.

Air conditioning may not function when the outside
temperature approaches -6°C (indicator stays ON even when
system is OFF).
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 theoutside 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.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot
weather, open the windows to let warm air escape, then close
the windows and operate the climate control system.
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.

11.2 Convertible Roof
Roof Operation
Warning: Before raising or lowering the roof, make sure
that all occupants are clear of the tonneau panel, the
windscreen frame and door windows.
Warning: Misuse of the roof switch, especially by
children, can result in injury due to entrapment in the roof
mechanism and locking points.
Caution: Aston Martin recommend that the roof is not
operated at temperatures of 0°C and below.
Caution: Make sure that the roof is always fully raised or
fully lowered.
Caution: Do not attempt to lower the roof if any objects or
clothing are laying on top of the roof or tonneau panel.
Caution: Before closing or opening the roof, make sure
that there are no objects placed on the rear sloping deck area
which could interfere with the folded, stored roof, especially
the heated rear windscreen glass. Even small objects can
cause damage.
Caution: Continuous use of the roof without the engine
operating will cause the vehicle battery to rapidly discharge.
To Operate The Roof
Warning: Keep the vehicle road speed down to a
minimum until the roof has completed its operation.
Caution: Aston Martin recommend that the roof is only
operated while the vehicle is stationary and that the engine is
always running when operating the roof mechanism to
maintain optimal battery performance.
Caution: Do not open the deck lid when the convertible
roof is being raised or lowered, or if paused in the middle of
a cycle. Wait until the roof movement operation is complete.
This will prevent damage to the deck lid and the tonneau
cover.
Before operating the convertible roof:
The deck lid must be closed.
The ignition must be ON and the engine must be running.
Outside temperature must be above -10°C.
The variable load device must be in the lower position.
Headroom (A) 1795 mm is available for the roof
to raise or
lower.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 2 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Convertible Roof 11.3
Operation
Warning: If roof movement is not complete the message
"Open/close top completely" will be shown in the instrument
cluster.
To operate the roof use the switch (B) in the centre console.
To Lower the Roof: Pull and hold the switch backwards to lower
the roof.
To Raise the Roof: Push and hold the switch forwards to raise the
roof.
Once roof movement is complete, a confirmation sound will be
heard from the instrument cluster.
Window Operation
The windows can be lowered and raised independently of the
roof. When the roof is fully lowered or raised use the roof switch
to lower and raise the rear quarter windows:
Roof Fully Lowered: Pull back and hold the roof switch to lower
or raise the door and rear quarter windows.
Roof Fully Raised: Push and hold the roof switch to lower or
raise the rear quarter windows.
Roof Relaxation
The roof system continually monitors the roof position. If the roof
is in a position between fully open and fully closed for 7 minutes
with the ignition on, the roof will close. there will be a warning
sound and the roof will relax and close to it's stowage position to
its lowest position.
If the key is removed from the vehicle ignition, the roof system
will not wait the 7 minutes and will close after the audible
warning.
Warning: The roof can fall rapidly as the roof system loses
hydraulic pressure. Keep away from the roof mechanism
when the audible warning begins, to prevent injury or
entrapment.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 3 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
11.4 Convertible Roof
Over-speed Operation
Vehicle speed should be below 50 km/h (30 mph)
If the vehicle speed exceeds 55 km/h (32 mph), the convertible
roof will stop opening or closing. This can restrict the view from
the rear of the vehicle and can cause an accident. Reduce the
vehicle speed to below 50 km/h (30 mph). Press the roof switch
again to continue roof operation.
When safe to do so, continue the roof movement. If the roof is
left in it's paused position for seven minutes, hydraulic pressure
will be lost in the roof mechanism. The roof and tonneau lid will
relax and drop down. Powered roof operation will be stopped
until the roof has been manually fully raised.
Roll-Over Protection System
Warning: Do not attempt to service or modify the
deployable roll-bar system.
Warning: Do not allow any person to sit on the
deployable roll-bar covers at any time.
Warning: Do not place any objects on the top of the
deployable roll-bar covers.
Warning: Do not attempt to reset the deployable roll-bar
system after it has deployed.
Warning: Do not attempt to raise or lower the roof after
the deployable roll-bar system has deployed.
Caution: If the roof is raised the deployable roll-bars will
break through the rear glass.
Caution: Extreme manoeuvres may cause the vehicle
system to predict a roll-over event and activate the roll-over
protection system. If such driving is anticipated by the
customer (track day driving, for example) the roof should be
fully lowered so the roll-bars can be deployed without
damaging the vehicle.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 4 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Convertible Roof 11.5
The roll-over protection system has electronic sensors mounted
to the vehicle body that monitor and determine if a roll-over has
taken place. If the system senses a rollover, two roll bars mounted
under trim panels in the tonneau lid, will deploy to protect
vehicle occupants.
If the roll-bars are deployed the door mounted airbags will
also be deployed to further protect vehicle occupants.
Warning Labels
Do Not Cover is embossed into tonneau cover above the roll
bars.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 5 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
11.6 Convertible Roof
Wind Deflector
The wind deflector can be used to greatly reduce wind
turbulence when the roof is lowered. It is easily installed to
mounts in the vehicle and can be left in place with the roof raised
or lowered.
Caution: Take care when adjusting the driver or passenger
seat position with the wind deflector installed. Make sure that
the seats do not come into contact with the wind deflector.
Storage
The wind deflector can easily be folded and stowed away when
not used. When the wind deflector is not required, remove it
from the vehicle and place it in the storage bag. Place the storage
bag in the vehicle boot.
Installation
To install the wind deflector:
1. Remove the wind deflector from the storage bag.
2. Unfold the base panels.

3. Open the main net panel and join the two base panels with
the snap connectors.
Caution: Do not try to join the base panels with the snap
connector before folding down from their stored position. If
you do, you will damage the snap connectors.
4. Insert the two locating tabs into the rear seat belt openings.
Use the two slide bolts to lock the wind deflector above the
rear seats.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 7 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
11.8 Convertible Roof
When the wind deflector is installed it can used in the raised or
lowered position. Grab the top bar of the wind deflector to raise
or lower the panel until it clicks into position.
Caution: Do not use the wind deflector to store items. This
can cause damage to the wind deflector such as a rip in the
net area.
Caution: Do not grab the main net panel. Sharp objects
can pierce or otherwise damage the net.
Removal
To remove the wind deflector, do the installation procedure in
reverse.
Emergency Roof operation
In the unlikely event of the roof failing during raising or lowering,
it can be manually raised and locked.
Warning: Make sure the ignition is set to off before you
begin this procedure. This will prevent accidental operation
of the roof which can cause injury.
Warning: Aston Martin recommend that a minimum of
two people are required to manually raise and lock the roof.
The roof mechanism is heavy and will move very slowly when
being raised manually.
Warning: Keep fingers clear of the roof linkage when
moving the roof manually.
Caution: Vehicle Security: If the roof fails, always raise and
lock the roof. Do not lower the roof as tonneau lid locks will
not be available.
If the roof fails in the stored position it can stay stored and
locked if required. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
If the roof fails after the tonneau locks have been released the
message "Open/close top completely" will show in the instrument
cluster and a continuous audible warning will sound until the roof
has been locked in the raised position.

12.2 Maintenance and Technical Data
Introduction
Each item in the service schedules must be performed on time as
failure to do so may void the new vehicle warranty or other
warranties. It is the owner’s responsibility to see that the vehicle
is maintained correctly and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s service schedules.
Due to the sophistication of the various systems and the
specialised equipment required to maintain this vehicle, owner
maintenance should be restricted to the routine procedures
described in this owner’s guide.
If you think that this vehicle is not functioning correctly, please
return it to an Aston Martin Dealer to be checked professionally.
Restraint Systems
Aston Martin recommend that the inflatable restraint systems
(airbags) and seat belt components installed to this vehicle are
replaced at 10 year intervals from the date of manufacture on the
certification label.
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
entrust all service work to an Aston Martin Dealer.
Catalytic Converters
Warning: Do not park over dry grass, leaves or other
combustible material. Significant fire risk exists because of
residual heat in the catalytic converters.
Warning: Do not drive through deep water. Rapid cooling
of catalysts may cause them to break up.
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.

Maintenance and Technical Data 12.3
Parts and Lubricants
Aston Martin recommends that when performing a servicing task,
the recommended lubricants (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’, page
12.13) 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.
Servicing Precautions
To avoid personal injury, the following safety precautions must be
observed when the bonnet 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

12.18 Maintenance and Technical Data
Tyres
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.
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.
Tyre Information
Damage
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.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 18 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Maintenance and Technical Data 12.19
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.
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.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 19 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
12.20 Maintenance and Technical Data
Summer Tyres
Because of the high performance potential of this vehicle,
Aston Martin strongly recommend replacement of any damaged
or worn tyre.
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.
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.
Only use Aston Martin approved winter tyres - contact your Aston
Martin dealer for more information.
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 must be installed to the correct winter wheels.
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 48 km/h. 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.

Tyre Inflation Kit
Warning: Do not use the system to seal a tyre that was
damaged while driving with insufficient air pressure (e.g.
tyre cuts, cracks, bumps or similar damage). Do not use the
system to seal tyres with side wall damage. Only punctures in
the tread area of tyres may be sealed.
Warning: Do not stand directly beside the tyre while the
compressor is pumping. Watch the side wall of the tyre. If
there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage set the
compressor to OFF. The journey should not be continued.
Contact your nearest Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: If a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar (26 Psi) cannot be
reached then the tyre can not be sealed. Do not attempt to
re-inflate the tyre. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: If the pressure in the tyre after driving for 3 km
is below 1.3 bar (19 Psi) the tyre has not been effectively
sealed. The journey should not be continued. Contact your
nearest Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: After a longer period of rest, the tyre pressure
should be rechecked.
Caution: The tyre sealant kit only provides temporary
mobility. Always refer to local laws and regulations on the use
and repair of tyres that have been treated with any form of
temporary mobility aid. Consult a tyre specialist for advice.
Inform the tyre specialist that the tyre contains sealant.
Remains of liquid sealant must be handed over to your dealer
or disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal
regulations. Dispose of empty sealant bottles together with
normal household waste.
Operation
Remove the tyre sealant kit from its location in the boot. 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.
It will be necessary to use two canisters (supplied) to repair a
tyre on this vehicle.
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.

Battery Information
Battery Warnings
Warning: Do not allow flames, sparks or lighted
substances to come near the battery. Batteries normally
produce explosive gases when charged or when jump
started. When working near the battery, always make sure
that neither you nor the battery is electrostatically charged.
Always have sufficient ventilation.
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: When lifting a plastic cased battery, excessive
pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through
the vent caps, resulting in personal injury, damage to the
vehicle or battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite corners.
Warning: Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Warning: Batteries contain sulphuric acid. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when working
near the battery to protect against possible splashing of acid
solution. In case of acid contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, get
medical help immediately.
Caution: The engine must never be run with the vehicle
battery disconnected. This can cause damage to vehicle
electrical modules.
Caution: Apart from vehicle recovery, this vehicle must
not be driven if the vehicle battery is incapable of starting the
engine. In this case the vehicle battery must be replaced.
Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 31 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
12.32 Maintenance and Technical Data
Battery Level Protection
Caution: If the battery is not capable of starting the engine,
replace the battery as soon as possible.
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 models.
If a low battery warning message shows, start the engine and let
it idle so the battery can recharge
1
, or connect a suitable battery
charger or conditioner.
Battery Conditioner
(Optional)
Caution: Do not attempt to start the vehicle with a battery
conditioner connected to the mains supply.
The Aston Martin battery conditioner is suitable for use on all
types of 12 volt AGM and lead acid batteries.
If this vehicle is not going to be used for a period of time, and
mains power is available, use a battery conditioner to maintain
the battery charge level. When connected the battery
conditioner will maintain a small trickle charge to keep the
battery in a fully charged state. A battery conditioner is designed
for conditioning of partially or fully charged batteries. It will not
effectively charge a discharged battery.
The battery conditioner uses a magnetic disc to attach to the
charger socket (A). To connect the battery conditioner, open the
deck lid and attach the charger plug onto the charger socket. The
deck lid can then be closed and locked with the charger
connected.
1.
If driving the vehicle to recharge the battery, a journey distance of
approximately 30 miles or 48 km will be sufficient to recharge the
battery.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 32 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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, jet washes and power operated mops are not
recommended. The detergents used can contain certain
chemicals which may, over time, be detrimental to some
exterior parts of the vehicle. Prolonged usage of automatic
vehicle washes and power operated mops will also cause fine
scratches in the paint surface.
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 vehicl
e
cool before washing.
Do not use household soaps or detergents.
Do not direct water hoses at full force around the door
and
boot lid 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
d
irected by the detergent manufacturer to one of t
he
bucke
ts.
2. Use a hose to remove all dust and mud residue from the
vehic
le. Don't use a strong jet, as this can rub grit over
the
p
aint and scratch it.
3. Soak a large clean wash mitt or a soft clean sponge in th
e
soapy water, and begin applying it to the vehicle. Wash the
vehicle section by section, starting at the top. Circle
around
th
e car several times, washing lower areas with each round.
Rinse the dirt out of the wash mitt or soft sponge in the
bucke
t 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.

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.
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.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 35 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
12.36 Maintenance and Technical Data
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
whe
n removed.
7. Repairs to the paint work must be completed by an Aston
Martin category A or B 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.
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.
Bodywork Maintenance
Check the drain holes in the bottom face of each door
periodically and clear if necessary.

Upholstery, Trim, Carpets 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.
Caution: Certain types of clothing, such as denim and
vegetable tanned leather, are prone to ‘dye transfer’. This can
cause discolouration in the leather. Make sure that the
affected areas are cleaned and re-protected as soon as
possible.
The seats and soft trimmed components of this vehicle are
covered in natural leather hide. In general, this natural leather
upholstery requires little attention. The seats should be brushed
with a soft brush from time to time and may be cleaned
occasionally with a cloth damped in soap and water.
Do not use detergents, quick cleansers or furniture polishes.
These products may initially give an impressive result, but their
use will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather and will
invalidate the warranty.
Several times a year, a leather conditioner or preservative should
be used. Appropriate care materials are obtainable from your
Aston Martin Dealer.
Alcantara roof linings and other soft trimmed areas may be
brushed with a soft brush. Stains from water based substances
such as coffee, tea or soft drinks should be cleaned as soon as
possible with mild soap and water.
The brushed and anodised aluminium trim should be cleaned
using a dry clean lint free cloth.
Consult your Aston Martin Dealer for instructions on the removal
of more difficult stains such as oil, grease or ballpoint ink.
Carpets should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Any
stains or grease marks should be removed with a good quality
solvent suitable for use on carpets.

Care and Maintenance of Seat Belts
Caution: Do not allow seat belts to be retracted until they
are completely dry.
To make sure that the restraint webbings are in correct working
order, regularly check the seat belts. Look for fraying, cuts, burns
and similar problems. Make sure that the latches and buckles
operate correctly. If a seat belt is not in good condition or is not
working correctly, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.
Any seat belt that has been worn during a serious collision should
be replaced by an Aston Martin Dealer.
To clean the seat belts, use mild soap and water; do not use
bleach, solvents or dyes, as they can weaken the material. Allow
the seat belts to dry thoroughly before use.
Convertible Roof Cleaning
Caution: Do not leave the roof in the lowered (folded)
position for extended periods of vehicle storage. Permanent
damage to the convertible roof fabric may occur including
soiling and fading along folds.
Caution: Do not use automatic vehicle washes. Brushes,
detergents and pressurised water jets may damage the roof
fabric. Do not use power washers. Jets of water may damage
the weather seals and the roof fabric. Do not use spot
cleaners, chemical diluents or any organic cleaners. If in
doubt, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
To maintain the appearance and condition of the roof fabric the
cleaning recommendations given below should be followed. This
is of particular importance in the case of light coloured roof
fabrics.
Always remove bird droppings as soon as possible. The organic
acids in bird lime can adversely affect the roof fabric.
Carefully vacuum clean the roof fabric to remove any loose
particles. Gently, and evenly, wash the roof fabric using a mild
soap solution and a soft brush.
A hard brush will damage the fabric fibres.
Rinse the roof fabric thoroughly with clean water to remove any
traces of soap. Allow the roof fabric to completely dry before
operating the roof.

Fuel
Fuel Level Warnings
There are two stages of fuel level warning:
1. The first fuel level warnings changes the fuel symbol on the
fuel gauge from white to amber. This means that the vehicle
will now be using its reserve fuel level and should be
refuelled at the nearest fuel station.
2. The second fuel level warning will also show a warning
symbol in the right instrument cluster window and replaces
the Range value. The vehicle is now down to half of its
reserve fuel level and should be refuelled as soon as
possible.

Fuel Filling
The fuel tank filler neck has a restricted opening which will
only accept the fuel supply nozzle of unleaded fuel pumps.
Open the fuel flap by pressing down on the rear edge of the fuel
flap. If the filler flap will not open use the fuel filler flap
emergency release.
The fuel system will not let the fuel tank overfill but there will be
times when the fuel nozzle will shut OFF prematurely. If this
happens only try to fill the fuel tank one more time, continued
attempts will result in fuel spillage. Wait 10 seconds before
removing the refuelling nozzle.
Fuel Filler Bowl
To stop water gathering in the fuel filler bowl and flowing into the
fuel tank, the fuel filler bowl has a pipe to let the water drain from
the bowl. During fuel filling, check and make sure that any debris
which may block the pipe is removed.
Fuel Cut-Off
In the event of a vehicle accident the vehicle electronics will
enter crash mode. Power to the fuel pumps will stop, thereby
reducing fire risk.

B.2 Aston Martin Warranty
Vehicle Warranties
Aston Martin gives a Warranty for each new Aston Martin 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.
For the purposes of this Owner’s Guide, Region means one of the
following territories:
the Americas, including the United States, Canada, and South
America; or
the United Kingdom, Europe, Russia and South Africa; or
the Middle East, North Africa and India; or
Asia Pacific, including China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
'Serviced Countries' means either: (a) any country in the Region
from which your Aston Martin vehicle was purchased, where
there is an Aston Martin authorised dealer or repairer; 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.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 2 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Aston Martin Warranty B.3
Exchange Parts Under Warranty
New parts will only be used for repairs at PDI and during the first
three months or 5000 km/3000 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.
Anti Perforation Corrosion Protection Warranty
The vehicles bodywork is protected by an Anti Perforation
Corrosion Warranty. Should any part of the bodywork of the
Aston Martin vehicle be perforated, the panel(s) affected by the
perforation will be repaired or replaced.
The term ‘perforation’ means a hole that penetrates through a
body panel from the inside.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 3 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
B.4 Aston Martin Warranty
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 (first registered keeper shall mean the Dealer in the context of

unlimited mileage.
The Anti-Perforation Corrosion Warranty period of cover is

facilities for the servicing and repair of Aston Martin motorcars.
Only such Franchise Holders or Approved Repairs will under the
terms of this warranty, repair replace or readjust, free of charge
to the owner, any part or assemble proved to Aston Martin's
satisfaction to show a defect in materials or workmanship within
the applicable period.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 4 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Aston Martin Warranty B.5
Wear and Tear Items
Items that are subject to wear and tear are generally divided into
two categories, namely those specified for replacement or
adjustment during scheduled maintenance and those that
require replacement or adjustment dependent upon conditions
of use.
Scheduled Maintenance Items
The items listed below are covered by the Vehicle Warranty up
to the first scheduled change point that replacement or
adjustment is required during scheduled maintenance
operations. The customer literature supplied with the new
Vehicle includes a service book setting out such scheduled
maintenance operations.
Drive belts
Spark plugs
Oil, air, pollen and fuel filters.
The period of warranty cover for any item may not exceed the
time and distance limitation of the vehicle warranty.
Wear and Tear Items
The items listed below are recognised as having a limited service
life or are subject to wear or damage. However, these items are
covered by the vehicle warranty for up to one year or the first
service, which ever occurs first.
Wiper blades.
Wheel alignment and balancing.
Adjustments, including but not limited to: headlamp and
hinged panel adjustments, suspension tightening, steering
geometry adjustments, emission and fuel systems checks and
park brake cable adjustments.
Vehicle key batteries.
Brake pads, brake discs, clutches and other friction related
components are not covered when replacement is due to wear
and tear, but they are covered against manufacturing defects
(whether in material or workmanship) for the duration of the
Vehicle Warranty.
Consumables
Replacement or top up of consumable fluids, e.g. oils, antifreeze,
brake fluid, windscreen wash solution and refrigerant, will only
be covered when they are used as part of a warranty repair.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 5 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
B.6 Aston Martin Warranty
What is Not Covered
Vehicle Warranty
Aston Martin is not responsible for any repair or replacement that
is required as a direct result of:
Normal wear and tear.
Friction related components, e.g. clutch, brake pads and
brake discs.

sport or track events or for any other purpose other than
normal private or commercial use.
•Any vehicle that has had its vehicle identification number

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 6 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Aston Martin Warranty B.7
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
unsuitable cleaning agents).

damage as recorded in the vehicle documentation by a dealer
at the time of the annual inspection.

of a defect covered by this warranty.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 7 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
B.8 Aston Martin Warranty
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 a dealer 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.
Warranty Coverage when Touring
Aston Martin has a comprehensive service network in most parts
of the world. Any authorised Aston Martin Dealer can carry out
repairs under the terms of the vehicle warranty. Under normal
circumstances, the customer should not be required to pay for
any warranty work performed by an Aston Martin Dealer.
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.
LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 8 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM
Aston Martin Warranty B.9
Aston Martin Extended Warranty
Aston Martin Extended Warranty is specifically designed to
provide the customer with first class after-sales protection from
unexpected repair costs when the vehicle warranty has expired,
and the knowledge that your Aston Martin will be repaired by
trained technicians using only genuine Aston Martin parts.
Contact your Aston Martin Dealer for more information on the
benefits and protection provided by the Aston Martin Extended
Warranty.
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.

C.10 Aston Martin Assistance
European Autoroute Restrictions
If assistance is required on a French Autoroute or on certain
Autoroutes in other European countries, you must use the official
SOS boxes at the side of the road in order to arrange initial
assistance or recovery. You will be connected to the authorised
Autoroute Assistance Service because these roads are privatised.
Neither Aston Martin Emergency Assistance nor any other
assistance organisations are allowed to assist on these roads.
Once your Aston Martin has been recovered from the Autoroute,
you should contact Aston Martin Emergency Assistance at the
earliest opportunity to make sure that any further assistance
arrangements you require can be made on your behalf.
Aston Martin Emergency Assistance will advise you how to
reclaim costs incurred for recovery from the Autoroute.
What is not Covered
Aston Martin Emergency Assistance is thorough and
comprehensive; however, claims cannot be met as a result of any
of the following:
1. Where you, or anyone else acting on your behalf, make
repair or service arrangements without authorisation (and a
file number) from Aston Martin Emergency Assistance.
2. Where any loss, theft, damage, death, bodily injury, cost or
expense that is not directly associated with the incident that
caused you to claim, unless expressly stated in this policy.
3. If the Breakdown Incident is due to fire, theft, accident or
vandalism, your costs will not be covered by Aston Martin
Emergency Assistance but should be met by third party
insurance covering the incident.
4. Damage or injury intentionally caused by you or resulting
from your participation in a criminal offence.
5. If your Vehicle is kept in an un-roadworthy condition or has
not been serviced in accordance with the Manufacturer’s
recommendations.
6. Any costs that would have been payable by you, such as
petrol, toll charges, parking fees, cost of meals, drinks,
telephone calls and/ or newspapers or any other costs not
specifically stated as being covered by Aston Martin
Emergency Assistance, which may be incurred by you and/
or the other member(s) of your party as a result of and/ or in
connection with the Breakdown Incident.

Aston Martin Assistance C.11
7. Release fees: Should your Vehicle be stolen and
subsequently recovered by the police, you may be asked to
pay a release fee before we can remove your Vehicle to an
authorised Aston Martin Dealer.
8. Specialist charges: In the event that the use of specialist
equipment is required to give assistance when your Vehicle
has, for example, gone off the road, is in a ditch, is standing
on soft ground, sand, shingle, stuck in water or snow or has
been immobilised by the removal of its wheels, we will
arrange recovery but you will be responsible for the costs of
any specialist equipment required. The costs may be
refundable under the terms of your motor insurance policy.
9. Adverse weather conditions: On those occasions when we
experience adverse weather conditions, such as high winds,
snow, floods, etc., external resources may be stretched and
some operations become physically impossible until the
weather improves. At such times, our priority is to make
sure that you and your passengers are taken to a place of
safety and so the recovery of your Vehicle may not be
possible until weather conditions permit.
10. Customer induced breakdown incidents are not covered
under Aston Martin Emergency Assistance. However, Aston
Martin and the Service Provider will, at their sole discretion,
assist you if you request it. However we are not obligated to
provide assistance and you shall be responsible for any
charges resulting from any assistance given caused by a
customer induced fault. In such circumstances, a swipe card
deposit may be taken by the Service Provider. Assistance in
such circumstances will not include additional benefits
(replacement vehicle, onward journey, hotel
accommodation).
Customer induced faults may include, for example, the
following:
Lock-outs / lost keys
Broken keys
Discharged battery
Running out or loss of fuel
Use of wrong fuel (no replacement at the location of
breakdown, only towing)
•Tyre damage
Road traffic accidents.

C.12 Aston Martin Assistance
11. Lockout / lost keys: Whilst we will always try to provide
assistance by the most practical method, should you be
unable to gain entry to your Vehicle, modern security
systems make it extremely difficult for this to be done should
spare keys not be available. If a forced entry is required, you
will be asked to sign a declaration stating that you have
given permission for this to take place and that any costs for
resultant damage will be your sole responsibility.
12. Aston Martin Emergency Assistance shall not be required to
provide services in the following circumstances:
12.1 In respect of Vehicles not displaying a valid road fund

establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Aston Martin
Emergency Assistance that permission has been given by
the relevant owner or occupier.

as a result of neglect or unsuccessful work on the
Vehicle other than on the part of the Service Provider or

part in any 'Motor Sport Event', including, without
limitation, motor racing, rallying, speed or duration tests
or practice thereof, trials or time-trials, auto test (other

roadworthy, road legal cars on public roads), but
excluding 'Concours d'elegance' events, track test days
for road-legal Vehicles or rallies held exclusively on
open public roads where participants are required to
comply with the normal rules of the road (save for Aston
Martin organised and controlled track day events).
12.7 Where the police, highways agency and / or other
emergency service require that your Vehicle be
recovered by a third party.
12.8 Where your entitlement to Aston Martin Emergency
Assistance lapses or if your Vehicle is no longer
considered eligible for Aston Martin Roadside
Assistance, the Service Provider may charge you directly
for the Services provided. Any such charges will be
charged on a 'pay for use' basis and will constitute a
direct contract between you and the Service Provider. If
it is determined that Aston Martin is at fault for the
Vehicle not being recorded as an eligible Vehicle, then
Aston Martin shall pay the relevant charges.

service will be given for the breakdown in question.

sole discretion of the Service Provider.
13. The Service Provider may charge you directly for:
Any replacement component, lubricant and / or fuel (the

performed by the Service Provider (in its absolute
discretion) at your request.

shingle or when it is stuck in snow or flood water.
Any additional charges resulting from the failure to carry
legal and serviceable spare wheel(s) or tyre(s) in the
Vehicle. Aston Martin Emergency Assistance will
endeavour to arrange assistance from a third party on your
behalf but you will be responsible for the costs of the call
out and/ or for any repair.
