Vehicle Battery Disposal

It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner when disposing of

automotive batteries to do it in an environmentally correct

manner.

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.

The immobiliser system is activated when the ignition is set to off

and the driver's door is opened.

Caution: Always take the key with you when you lock the

vehicle. The engine can be started if a valid key has been left

inside the vehicle.

The immobiliser system is always deactivated when the

engine is started.

Interior Motion Sensor

When the vehicle is locked and armed, the interior motion sensor

will sense movement inside the vehicle. If movement is detected

it will start the alarm.

The interior motion sensor will activate 10 seconds after the

vehicle is locked and all doors are closed, and the alarm will be

set after a further 10 seconds of calibration.

All doors must be closed before the interior motion sensor

can be activated.

The interior motion sensor can be set on or off in the vehicle

settings menu (Refer to ’Vehicle Settings’, page 10.2).

European Coverage

Local language Police liaison and stolen vehicle recovery across

Europe.

Countries covered by Aston Martin Tracking System:

Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina,

Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,

Finland, France (Monaco), Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland,

Italy (Vatican City, San Marino), Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,

Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,

Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South

Africa, Spain (Andorra, Gibraltar), Sweden, Switzerland

(Liechtenstein), Turkey, Ukraine and United Kingdom.

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.

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

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.

If a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 13 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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

or door

, only deploy

according to which side has been impacted in a serious side

collision.

Coupe Only

Volante Only

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 16 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

Before Driving 3.17

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.

At ignition ON if the front passenger airbag is set to OFF, then

PASS AIRBAG OFF will show in the message centre.

The PAD switch should be inspected by an Aston Martin Dealer

if any of the following conditions occur:

• The PAD status symbol does not change from to

after six seconds when the ignition is set to ON and the PAD

switch is set to OFF.

• The PAD status symbol does not show when the ignition

is set to on and the PAD switch set to OFF.

• The PAD status symbol does not show when the ignition

is set to on and the PAD switch set to ON.

• No PAD status symbol is shown.

3.22 Before Driving

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.

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 30 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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.

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 may ‘skip’ at low speeds with

summer tyres installed when a high level of steering lock is

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

the safety or performance of the vehicle.

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 4 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 6 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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

) 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.

GT Mode: All Gears.

Sport and Sport+: 1st to 2nd gear.

5.8 Driving

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 9 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

5.10 Driving

Deactivating Cruise Control

Push the cruise control lever away from you to deactivate cruise

control or speed limiter.

The cruise control and speed limiter set speeds will also be

cleared when the ignition is set to OFF.

Cruise control will automatically deactivate when:

• The brake pedal is pressed.

• The park brake is applied.

• Vehicle speed drops below 30 km/h (18mph).

• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.

• The traction control system is activated.

• The variable speed limiter system is activated (LIM indicator

light is ON).

• A fault occurs in the cruise control system. the cruise control

system will not operate until the fault is cleared.

Drive Modes

Vehicle driving characteristics, such as gear changes and throttle

response, can be changed by selecting different drive modes.

Three drive modes are available. Press the S button (A) to cycle

between:

•GT

•Sport

•Sport+

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 10 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

Driving 5.11

The selected mode will be shown in the right instrument cluster

window (B).

Drive modes operate independently of Electronic Stability

Program (ESP) and Adaptive Damping System (ADS) modes.

GT Mode

GT mode provides a default comfort setting, best suited

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

into 2

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 12 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

Driving 5.13

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).

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 13 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

5.14 Driving

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.

Radio Equipment Directive

Hereby, Robert Bosch GmbH declares that the radio equipment

type MRR1Rear is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The

full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 15 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

5.16 Driving

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 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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 16 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 19 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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

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.

Distances can vary depending on driving conditions and frequency of

brake use

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 20 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

Driving 5.21

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

Caution: Secure parking of the vehicle is dependent on

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

on a suitable surface to prevent vehicle movement.

The ignition control must be at position 'I' to release the park

brake. First apply pressure to the foot brake then pull on the park

brake switch and release. The symbol will go off to show the

park brake has been released.

Drive Away Release

Warning: Do not exit the vehicle with the engine

operating and the transmission in D (Drive) or R (Reverse).

Always select P (Park) before exiting the vehicle. If the

transmission is left in D (Drive) or R (Reverse) , the vehicle

can overcome the park brake and start to move.

With the park brake applied, select a forward or reverse gear and

press the throttle pedal. The park brake will release as the vehicle

moves forwards or backwards.

The park brake will not release when moving from stationary if a

vehicle door is open. In this case the park brake must be released

with the park brake switch.

Park Brake Operation While Moving

Warning: Repeated use of the park brake to slow the

vehicle, or driving the vehicle with the park brake applied

can cause serious damage to the brake system.

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

speed. The symbol will come on, a warning sound will be

heard and CAUTION PARK BRAKE APPLIED will be shown in the

right instrument cluster window.

Release the switch to cancel the park brake application whilst the

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

the vehicle has stopped movement.

Park Brake Faults

Low Battery Voltage

If the battery voltage is too low, the park brake cannot be put on

or off. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too

low.

System Faults

If a fault in the system is detected, PARK BRAKE MALFUNCTION

will show in the message centre. Contact your nearest Aston

Martin Dealer.

If the battery has been discharged or disconnected, APPLY FOOT

AND PARK BRAKE will show in the message centre when the

ignition is next ON. Press the foot brake down and pull the park

brake switch up to put the park brake ON, this will reset the park

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.

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.

Driving 5.25

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.

Driving 5.27

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 27 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

5.28 Driving

Stop/Start

The Stop/Start function switches the engine off when the vehicle

comes to a stop to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

Setting ON or OFF

Stop/Start is not available when drive mode is set to Sport+.

Stop/Start is controlled by the START/STOP button (A) on the

centre stack. When the system is active the indicator LED on the

button is ON and the

is shown in the instrument cluster.

Engine Stop Conditions

With Stop/Start active, the engine will switch off when the vehicle

is completely stopped, the transmission is in either D (Drive) or N

(Neutral) and if the following conditions are met:

• The vehicle battery condition is suitable.

• The bonnet is closed.

• The driver's door is closed.

• The battery condition would prevent restart.

• The vehicle interior has dropped below or increased above

the temperature set by the climate control system.

Emergency Stops

If the vehicle detects a level of braking that it determines to be an

emergency stop, the stop/start will prevent the engine switching

off.

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 32 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

Driving 5.33

Active Park Assist does not assist with parking in right angle space

if:

• two parking spaces are located directly next to each other

• the parking space is directly next to a low obstacle such as a

low kerb

•forward-parking

Active Park Assist will only display parking spaces on the front-

passenger side as standard.

Parking spaces on the driver's side will be displayed if the turn

signal on the driver's side is on. The indicator must remain on,

until Active Park Assist is confirmed.

Parking with Active Park Assist

When a parking space has been found and is shown in the

instrument cluster, stop the vehicle and select R (Reverse).

• Start Park Assist? will show in the instrument cluster display.

Press OK on the scroll wheel to confirm. To cancel press

or continue to drive away from the space.

• Release the steering wheel and slowly reverse the vehicle,

being ready to brake at all times. Reversing at a speed above 6

mph (10 km/h) will cancel Active Park Assist.

Warning: The vehicle will not automatically brake if an

object is detected.

Additional manoeuvring may be required in tight parking spaces.

If it is necessary for the vehicle to move forward, a message will

show in the right message window. Select D (Drive) while the

vehicle is stationary. Active Parking Assist will then counter-steer

to change the approach angle.

360° Camera System

Caution: The camera system can show a distorted or

incorrect view of obstacles or not at all. Obstacles will not be

shown under, or in very close proximity to, the front or rear

bumpers. Care should also be taken in the blind spots close

to the door mirrors, tailgate or transitional areas between

cameras in the top-down view.

Caution: Objects that are not at ground level can appear

further away than they are. Care should be take when

manoeuvring around items such as tow bars and vehicle

bumpers.

The 360° camera system uses four cameras (front, rear and both

door mirrors) to give a complete view of the vehicle's immediate

surroundings. The system can then be used in a split screen view

to suit different driving scenarios.

malfunction.

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

vehicle is being pressure washed.

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

circulated air’ position should be used temporarily when

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

interior.

• 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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 6 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

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

engine is not operating.

Warning: Avoid skin contact with all exhaust system and

engine components, engine fluids and escaping steam. They

may be hot and can cause scalding or burns.

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

removed before working on a vehicle. Any jewellery should

also be removed before working on a vehicle, especially

work on the electrical system.

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

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

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

not inhale fuel vapour or fumes.

Dangerous Substances

Warning: Dangerous substances should be kept out of

reach of children.

Warning: Many liquids and other substances used in

motor vehicles are poisonous and should under no

circumstances be consumed and should, so far as possible,

be kept from contact with the skin. These substances include

battery electrolyte, antifreeze, oil, brake and clutch fluid,

petrol, windscreen washer additives, lubricants, refrigerant

and various adhesives.

Warning: Particular care should be taken to avoid

unnecessary contact with used engine oil. Always read

carefully the instructions printed on labels or stamped on

components and follow them carefully. Such instructions are

included for reasons of your health and personal safety.

Engine Oil Level Sensing

Caution: The electronic engine oil level sensing system

does not replace the need for the owner to regularly check

the engine oil using the dipstick. Check the engine oil level

every fourth fuel tank fill or weekly - which ever is the

soonest.

This vehicle has an electronic engine Oil Level Sensing (OLS)

system which records the engine oil level every vehicle start if the

vehicle has been left for 4 or more hours, if the vehicle is on level

ground, and if it is within a pre-set oil temperature range.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the

minimum mark on the dipstick can cause serious engine

damage.

The system may not record an oil level if the engine oil

temperature is low.

For the correct engine oil (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’, page

12.13).

If the engine oil level is approaching the minimum mark the

message OIL LEVEL WARNING CHECK AND TOP UP will show

in the message centre along with an amber warning triangle and

a chime sound. A code will also be stored in the engine

management system. The engine oil level is low and should be

checked and filled to the required level engine oil as soon as

possible. The message will clear when the oil level is filled with a

least 1 litre to the required level and the OLS system has

performed a valid check of the oil level.

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.

Maintenance and Technical Data 12.21

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.

LY73-19A321-AA.book Page 21 Thursday, May 9, 2019 9:25 AM

12.22 Maintenance and Technical Data

• The system provides only a temporary emergency repair for

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

nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

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

away, arrange for collection with Aston Martin Assistance.

• The system will effectively seal a tyre that was puncture

d by

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

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

not remove objects that punctured the tyre if they are still

lodged in the tyre.

• The sealant bottle needs to be exchanged before it expi

res.

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

bottle or casing has been reached. Contact your nearest

Aston Martin Dealer.

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

adapter and do not inflate

objects with a volume grea

ter than

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

system pump air for more than 10 minutes without stopping it

and allowing it to cool down.

Both the hose and the bottle of sealant need to be replaced after

using the system. Sealant deposits in a used hose may cause the

system to operate incorrectly. New bottles of sealant can be

purchased from your Aston Martin Dealer.

Electrical Systems

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

, 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.

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

Maintenance and Technical Data 12.33

For further safety information and operating instructions, refer

to the instructions supplied with the battery conditioner.

Lamps

All external lamps are LEDs and contained in a sealed lamp

cluster unit, one either side of the vehicle. The lamp cluster is not

repairable.

If a lamp fails contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Headlamp

Headlamp Units: Condensation: The headlamp units will

generate condensation under certain conditions. However, this

should clear approximately 10 minutes after the headlamps have

been set to ON.

Other External Lamps

• Rear direction indicators.

• Stop and tail lamps.

• Centre High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL).

• Front direction indicator and parking lamps.

• Side direction indicators (mounted in door mirrors).

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

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,

irected by the detergent manufacturer to one of t

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

aint and scratch it.

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

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

vehicle section by section, starting at the top. Circle

around

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.

Opposite to the country in which your vehicle is registered.

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.

12.38 Maintenance and Technical Data

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.

Vehicle Recovery

Caution: When the vehicle is moved by transporter make

sure that the vehicle is not strapped down by the suspension

control arms.

Caution: Power braking and power steering are not

available with the engine OFF. Substantially higher brake

pedal pressures and steering effort are required.

Caution: If there is a transmission fault, this vehicle must

be transported.

If the park brake was applied and the vehicle has lost power, the

park brake will not release. Call Aston Martin Assistance or your

local Aston Martin Dealer.

Your vehicle should always be recovered on a vehicle

transporter

and should only be towed for short distances, for

example, if it is causing an obstruction or if it requires winching

onto a transporter.

If moving the vehicle in such a situation:

1. Remove the tow eye from its storage location in the vehicle

tool kit (located in the boot storage area). Insert the tow eye

carefully through the grill and install to the exposed female

threads (A) until fully engaged against the vehicle body.

The tow eye has a left hand thread.

Protect vehicle paint work when installing the tow eye.

2. When being towed use the footbrake very gently when

required, to prevent excessive slack in the tow rope.

The recommended method for a recovering vehicle is to have it

transported in a purpose built, covered, vehicle transporter.

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.

12.48 Maintenance and Technical Data

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

demonstration vehicles).

The Vehicle Warranty period of cover is three years with

unlimited mileage.

The Anti-Perforation Corrosion Warranty period of cover is

ten years with unlimited mileage.

Who May Repair the Vehicle

Franchise Holders or Approved Repairers, who are appointed

and receive full technical support from Aston Martin, provide

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

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

damage as recorded in the vehicle documentation by a dealer

at the time of the annual inspection.

inconvenience, loss of transportation, or any other incidental or

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

of a defect covered by this warranty.

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.

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

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.

required. Aston Martin Emergency Assistance will

endeavour to arrange for their assistance on your

service will be given for the breakdown in question.

sole discretion of the Service Provider.

13. The Service Provider may charge you directly for:

off the road, is in a ditch, sunk in soft ground, sand or

shingle or when it is stuck in snow or flood water.

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
