Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with a Event Data Recorder (EDR)

system. Electronic modules in this vehicle are able to

record detailed data, such as:

• The use of restraint systems, including seat belts by the

driver and passengers.

• Information about the performance of various systems

and modules in the vehicle.

• Information related to engine, throttle, steering, brake

or other system status.

Any of these systems can include information on how the

driver operates the vehicle, measuring vehicle speed -

including recording the value displayed in the instrument

cluster to the driver, steering input, brake and throttle

application. This information may be stored under regular

operation, in a crash or in a near crash event.

This information can be read and used by:

•AstonMartin.

• Service and repair facilities.

• Law enforcement or government agencies.

• Others who may assert a right or obtain your consent

to know such information.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is

required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed.

In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,

such as law enforcement, that have the special

equipment, can read the information if they have access

to the vehicle or the EDR.

Event Data Storage

Any stored event that has resulted in the deployment of a

non-reversible restraint will be locked and cannot be

overwritten. A recorded event between the trigger event

threshold (a change in speed of 8 km/h (5 mph) in 150 ms

or less) and a deployment event will be unlocked and can

be overwritten.

Data will be stored in empty records first. Once all six

records are filled, the oldest unlocked event will be

overwritten first. Once all six events are written and

locked no more events can be recorded.

After four events or more are locked, a fault code will be

logged and a warning message will be shown. Contact

your Aston Martin Dealer.

Anti-Theft Systems

Introduction

This vehicle is protected by an electronic security system

which includes:

• Remote arm and disarm

• Perimeter sensing

• Remote door, deck lid, fuel flap lock and unlock

• Alarm siren with battery backup (Only in markets

where audible sirens are permitted.)

• Random code encryption to prevent electronic

scanning of the vehicle key identity code

• Engine Immobiliser

• Ultrasonic Interior movement sensors

• Tilt (tow-away) sensor

When the security system is armed, any attempt to gain

access by breaking a window or forcibly opening a door,

the deck lid or the bonnet will result in full alarm

operation.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 13 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

2.14 Vehicle Security

Alarm

When the alarm has started a siren will be heard for a

25 seconds cycle (ten cycles maximum) and the direction

indicators flash

for five minutes after which the security

system returns to the armed state.

The doors and deck lid will stay locked throughout.

Stop the alarm at any time by pressing on the vehicle

key or open a vehicle door with keyless entry active.

There is approximately a ten second delay before the

alarm is stopped.

Engine Immobiliser

The engine immobiliser prevents your vehicle from being

started without the correct key.

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.

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 and the deck lid

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 ’Comfort’, page 12.5).

Tow Away Protection

When the vehicle is locked and armed a tilt sensor will

sense if the vehicle is tilted or lifted. For example, if the

vehicle is being raised on a jack or being towed. If the

vehicle tilt sensor detects a tilt, the alarm will start.

Tow Away Protection will activate 60 seconds after

the vehicle is locked and all doors are closed.

All doors, including the deck lid, must be closed

before tow away protection can be activated.

Tow away protection can be set to on or off in the vehicle

settings menu (Refer to ’Comfort’, page 12.5).

Markets where visible alarm signals and audible sirens are

permitted.

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.

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 (10 ft).

The system will automatically disarm when the driver

card is in range of the vehicle.

If your vehicle is driven a set distance 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 16 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Vehicle Security 2.17

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.

A monthly health check message will also be sent to the

Secure Operating Centre to confirm full system

functionality.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 17 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

2.18 Vehicle Security

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.

Driver Card Battery

The battery for each driver card will need replacing

periodically, and you will receive an SMS message

advising you when this is required.

The driver cards use a CR2032 type battery, which can be

purchased from most high street outlets.

To Change the Battery:

1. Remove the cover from the driver card by using a

small screwdriver to gently lever it open at the

corners.

2. Remove the existing battery by sliding it out of the

metal grip and replace it with the new battery.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 18 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Vehicle Security 2.19

After Changing the Battery:

Switch the driver card back on by pressing and holding

the button continuously for 3-5 seconds. During this time

the LED will illuminate. As soon as you release the button

the LED will go out.

The LED should then pulse intermittently approximately

every 4 seconds. Please bear in mind that this pulse can be

significantly dimmer than the light you see when you

press the button. If the LED does not pulse on its own,

please start the process again.

Please make sure that your driver card is switched on at all

times. However, during periods of inactivity such as

holidays or the vehicle being in storage, the card can be

switched off to conserve battery life. Press and hold the

button for 10 seconds to turn the card off. To switch it

back on, press and hold the button for 2-3 seconds until

the LED starts to pulse.

Before Driving 3.5

Headrests

The driver and passenger seats include non-adjustable

head restraints, which limit the rearward travel of the

head in a rear impact and may reduce whip lash injuries.

When sitting in the seats make sure that the seat back is in

an upright position and that the rear of the occupant's

head is positioned in the centre of the head restraint area.

The head restraints are most effective when the distance

between the rear of the occupant's head and the head

restraint is kept to a minimum.

Windows

Warning: Misuse of the window switches, especially

by children, can result in injury due to entrapment in

the window closure. Drivers must advise all passengers

of the possible danger and make sure that all

obstructions are clear before raising the window.

The windows can be operated up to one minute after

the ignition is turned off.

To raise and lower the windows the ignition must on.

Use a window switch on the driver's side (A) or the

To minimise wind noise and to make sure that the window

seal is watertight, a door sealing system is used to provide

a tight fit of the door glass to the seals around the top of

the door opening.

The window automatically lowers a small distance to

clear the door seal when a door is opened. When the door

is closed, the window automatically lifts against the body

frame rubber seals.

Window Anti-Trap

The door windows use an anti-trap mechanism to prevent

accidental closure of a window on vulnerable parts of the

body or other obstructions. When the window motor

senses an obstruction, the window stops closing and then

opens to release the obstruction.

Before Driving 3.11

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.

• 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).

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 11 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.12 Before Driving

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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 12 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Before Driving 3.13

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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 13 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.14 Before Driving

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.

Front 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 off, but the warning symbol will

continue to show until the seat belt is fastened.

Rear Seat Belt Status

If a rear seat belt is unbuckled, regardless of if the rear

seat is occupied, a warning will be shown in the instrument

cluster to show which seat belts are not buckled correctly.

To clear the warning, make sure all rear belts are buckled.

The warning will also be shown at ignition on to test the

system. Press OK or wait 60 seconds for the warning to

clear.

If a belt is unbuckled once the vehicle is in motion, an

audible warning will also be given.

If a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat.

Before Driving 3.15

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 15 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.16 Before Driving

Push the buckle into the belt buckle latch until a positive

click is heard.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 16 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Before Driving 3.17

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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 17 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.18 Before Driving

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

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 18 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Before Driving 3.19

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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 19 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.20 Before Driving

Child Safety

Aston Martin strongly recommends:

• That all children are sat in the rear passenger seats.

• Always use ISOFIX anchors where available.

• Only one child seat be installed to the passenger side

of the vehicle at any time.

• A child, regardless of age, should always be

restrained when travelling in a vehicle.

Your vehicle has the following devices for the installation

of child restraints:

• Front passenger seat with Occupant Classification

System (OCS).

• Rear seat ISOFIX anchors.

• Rear seat tether anchor points (coupe only).

• Passenger seat Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

seat belts.

Warning: The front 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 20 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Before Driving 3.21

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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 21 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.22 Before Driving

Occupant Classification System

The Occupant Classification System (OCS) is part of

Occupant restraints Control (ORC) System and operates

in addition to the restraints system.

OCS uses capacitive measurement to differentiate

between adults, occupied small (1 year old or younger)

child restraint seats, and empty seats. Capacitive

measurement is not weight sensitive and depends on

chemical and physical features to determine if an object

or a person is in the passenger seat. This information is

then sent to the ORC module.

If OCS determines an adult is in the passenger seat, the

passenger airbag will be active.

If OCS determines there is a child restraint seats (CRS)

present, or the seat is empty, the passenger airbag will be

automatically switched off.

If it is necessary to modify the advanced restraints

system to accommodate a person with disabilities,

contact your Aston Martin Dealer .

If the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult, the

PASS AIRBAG status symbol will be set to (A).

The passenger airbag will be set to off if:

• The front passenger seat is unoccupied.

• The measured capacitance is less than that of a typical

1 (one) year old infant.

If the airbag is set to off, the PASS AIRBAG status symbol

will also be set to (B).

The symbol will come on for a short period when

the ignition is switched on to confirm it is ready.

Before Driving 3.23

Warnings

Warning: Important OCS components, such as the

capacitive sensor and control unit, are installed in the

front passenger seat. Suitable precautions must be

take to prevent these components from being

damaged. Any damage to the seat trim, such as cuts

that have penetrated the trim material, must be

inspected by an Aston Martin Dealer. The system must

also be checked for corrected functionality. depending

on the level of damage, OCS components may require

replacement and the system checked again. OCS

functionality cannot be warranted if the seat is

damaged.

Warning: To prevent damage to the OCS and other

seat components, do not kneel on, or apply

concentrated pressure to, the front seats. Do not put

sharp items on the seats.

Warning: Never remove the front passenger seat

from the vehicle or remove the seat trim. Never

dismantle, remove parts off the seat or disconnect

wires from the seat. Any incorrect repair or

disassembly of the front passenger seat can prevent

the OCS from functioning correctly.

Warning: Do not install any additional seat

accessories, such as beaded trims or padding, or use

cushions, blankets or similar items on the front

passenger seat. Additional items such as these may

increase the distance between passenger and seat and

cause a the OCS to incorrectly classify the occupant

and give incorrect airbag functionality.

Warning: Use only approved cleaning materials to

clean the vehicle interior surfaces. Solvents or other

incorrect cleaning products on the surface where the

sensor is located (under the leather of the cushion) can

damage the sensor.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 23 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

3.24 Before Driving

Warning: Spilt water or steam cleaning the seat can

cause the OCS to incorrectly classify a seat occupant.

Wait for the seat to dry completely before use. Make

sure that there are no wet objects (such as wet towels),

water or other liquids on the front passenger seat

cushion.

Warning: Do not place objects on the front

passenger seat. The capacitive sensor is not a weight

sensor, but increased weight on the seat can cause the

trim to become thinner and increase capacitance.

Objects on the front passenger seat can cause the OCS

to incorrectly classify a seat occupant and give

incorrect airbag functionality. Always check the

airbag status lamp.

Warning: Do not charge electrical devices on the

passenger seat. This can cause the OCS to incorrectly

classify the capacitance as a seat occupant and give

incorrect airbag functionality. Always check the

airbag status lamp.

Warning: Do not put shopping bags on the

passenger seat. A large amount of liquid, such as

bottled water, can cause the OCS to incorrectly

classify the capacitance as a seat occupant and give

incorrect airbag functionality. Always check the

airbag status lamp.

Warning: Incorrect installation of a child seat may

cause the passenger sensing system to leave the front

airbag set to on. Always make sure that child seats are

correctly installed on the seat. Read the child seat

manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Warning: Even with the advanced restraints system,

children aged 12 and under should be correctly

restrained in the rear seats.

Warning: Do not hang objects off the front seat

backrest if a child is in the front passenger seat.

Warning: Always check the PASS AIRBAG status

symbol for correct airbag status.

Warning: Any alteration or modification to the front

passenger seat may affect the performance of the

OCS.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 24 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Before Driving 3.25

Seating Position

Warning: Always sit upright against the seat

backrest and with both feet on the floor. If you do not

sit correctly or with the seat backrest reclined too far

this can alter the capacitance read by the OCS and

affect the functionality of the front passenger sensing

system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.

After all passengers have adjusted their seats and put on

safety belts, its very important that they continue to sit

correctly. A correctly seated passenger sits upright,

leaning against the seat backrest, and centred on the seat

cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the

floor. Sitting incorrectly can increase the chance of injury

in a crash event. For example, if a passenger slouches, lies

down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or side

ways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury

during a crash is greatly increased.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger’s

seat and the PASS AIRBAG symbol is , it is possible

that the person is not sitting correctly in the seat.

If this happens:

1. Set the ignition to off. Ask the person to place the

seat backrest in the full upright position.

2. Have the person sit upright in the seat, centred on the

seat cushion, with the person’s legs comfortably

extended.

3. Start the engine and have the person stay in this

position for about two minutes. This will let the

system detect that person and set the passenger’s

front airbag to on.

4. If the PASS AIRBAG symbol stays even after this,

the person should be advised to sit in a rear seat. (If

available)

These conditions can cause the weight of a correctly

seated passenger to be incorrectly interpreted by the

front passenger sensing system. The person in the front

passenger seat can appear heavier or lighter due to the

conditions described.

If the PASS AIRBAG symbol stays , this may or may

not be a problem due to the front passenger sensing

system.

Do not attempt to repair or service the system. Take the

vehicle immediately to the nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

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.

Automatic Headlamp Mode

If ambient light fades, headlamps, rear and registration

plate lamps will switch on automatically. If ambient light

then increases, headlamps, rear and registration plate

lamps will automatically go off. Automatic lamps are

market specific.

The automatic headlamp function features an

internal timer that starts when the lamps are turned on.

This prevents the lamps from rapidly changing between

on and off if situations where ambient light can rapidly

change, such as driving between buildings. The

headlamps may show a small delay between when a

suitable amount of ambient light is detected, and the

lamps turning off.

Auto Main Beam

Warning: Auto Main beam is an aid only. The system

cannot allow for road, weather or traffic conditions. it

is the drivers responsibility to make sure the vehicle's

lighting is correct for the driving conditions.

The rain and light sensor may not operate correctly in

low visibility or if obscured such as rain, fog, snow or dirt.

Auto Main Beam is used to automatically switch between

main beam and dipped beam when other road users are

present

. The system uses the rain and light sensor to

determine the range of other vehicles on the road and will

set the headlamps from main beam to dipped beam if

there is a vehicle in range. Once the system no longer

detects a vehicle, it will set the headlamps back to main

beam.

Activating Auto Main Beam

Auto Main Beam is active whenever the main beam

headlamps are used and the master lamp switch is set to

AUTO. Manually select dipped beam with the wiper stalk,

or set the master lamp switch to dipped beam to cancel

Auto Main Beam. When Auto Main Beams are active,

will be shown in the instrument cluster.

The system uses ambient lighting and light from vehicle front

and rear lamps to separate parked vehicles and vehicles being

driven.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 2 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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.

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.

Brakes in Cold Weather

At low temperatures (below 0°C) moisture within the

brake pads may freeze and cause the brake pads to stick

to the brake discs. Additional torque may need to be

applied when the vehicle is first used after extended

periods of being parked, and there may be a noise as the

brake pads become free. Once released, the brakes will

operate as normal.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 3 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.4 Driving

Multi Purpose Camera

The Multi Purpose Camera (A) is mounted at the top of

the windscreen and is used to give external information to

a number of driving systems in the vehicle.

To make sure that these additional driving systems

function correctly, the area of the windscreen in front of

the camera should be kept clean. The camera is under the

swept area of the wiper blades, so will be cleaned as the

wipers are used in poor weather. In long dry periods such

as in summer, the windscreen wipers should be used

periodically to prevent build ups of dirt and dust.

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. If you do, there is a risk of damage to the

engine and transmission.

driver input.

• Semi-Automatic Mode:

Gear changes can be controlled with the gearshift

paddles behind the steering wheel. The vehicle will

change gears when required.

• Manual Mode:

Gear changes are only controlled by the gearshift

paddles behind the steering wheel and the vehicle will

not perform gear changes.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 5 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.6 Driving

Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, drive modes are selected with the

transmission selector lever (A) on the lower console.

While driving forward, gearshifts are made automatically

according to various driving parameters such as 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.

Reverse (R)

When reverse is selected, the infotainment screen will

change to show the reverse camera display.

Neutral (N)

Select to engage Neutral gear.

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.

Drive (D)

Select to engage forward gears.

Park (P)

Press the Park switch (B) when the vehicle is stationary.

The transmission will mechanically lock.

Caution: Always make sure that the park brake is on

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 6 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.7

Kick-Down

In Automatic mode, kick-down is used in circumstances

where rapid acceleration is required, such as overtaking.

Kick-down operates when the accelerator pedal is quickly

and fully pressed, 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.

Semi-Automatic Mode

In Semi-Automatic mode, forward gear changes are

made with the paddles located behind the steering wheel.

If engine speed gets too high or low, the transmission

control module will automatically make gear changes.

While in Semi-Automatic mode, move to Automatic

mode at any time by pulling and holding the upshift (+)

paddle until Drive is selected.

Pull back on either the upshift (+) or downshift (-) paddle

to enter Semi-Automatic 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 depending on

the drive mode as 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.

Wet mode sets the vehicle up to a similar calibration to GT

but more suitable for driving in adverse conditions. ESP is

set to a specific wet road tune to maximise grip and the

engine map is also set to a unique calibration to provide

predicable power delivery and smooth gear changes.

Wet mode sets the vehicle up to a similar calibration to

Sport but more suitable for driving in adverse conditions.

ESP is set to a specific wet road tune to maximise grip and

the engine map is also set to a unique calibration to

provide predicable power delivery and smooth gear

changes.

Speed Control Systems

Warning: Only use ACC 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, the vehicle may cause an accident or

collision resulting in death or serious injury.

Warning: Both ACC and the variable speed limiter

are aids and cannot take into account road, weather or

traffic conditions. The driver is always responsible for

vehicle speed, braking, controlling the distance to any

vehicle(s) in front and for staying in the correct lane.

Active Brake Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control are

disabled when ESP is set to Off.

The speed control systems for the vehicle are made up of

two main user selectable systems:

• Variable Speed Limiter

Used to set a manual speed limit for the driver.

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Used to set the vehicle to a set speed which can adapt

to the road conditions around it.

ACC and Variable Speed Limiter Controls

[1] CANCEL: Tap to cancel the set speed.

[2] ADJUST DISTANCE: Swipe to increase or decrease

the set distance between the vehicle in front and your

vehicle when ACC is active.

[3] RESUME: Tap to resume the set speed, or set the

speed to the speed limit detected by the Traffic Sign

Recognition system.

[4] SPEED SET DIAL: Use the roller dial to increase or

decrease the set speed.

[5] ACC/LIM SELECT: Tap to switch between ACC

and variable speed limiter functions.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 14 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.15

Setting A Speed

Scroll the speed selector dial (4) up to increase speed, or

down to decrease speed in 2 km/h (1 mph) increments.

Pressing the switch in either direction will set a new

vehicle speed in the cruise control or new vehicle speed

limit.

Once a speed has been set, this will be shown above the

vehicle's speed in the instrument cluster.

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.

Press (3) to resume the set ACC speed or variable

speed limit.

If the ACC is deactivated, or the brake pedal is pressed,

ACC will disengage but the set speed memory will be

kept. Press the speed selector switch again and the

vehicle will return to the set speed.

Variable Speed Limiter

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 and for staying in the lane.

The variable speed limiter operates up to 180 km/h

(112 mph).

Deactivation

Set speeds will also be cleared when the ignition is set

to off.

Press to deactivate the variable speed limiter. Any set

speed will also be cleared if ACC is selected.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 15 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.16 Driving

ACC with Speed Limiter Adaption

Operation

Warning: ACC may not always be able to

differentiate vehicles when they become stationary

from static obstacles. To help prevent collisions, ACC

should be avoided in heavy traffic.

ACC can be used to maintain a selected vehicle speed

without having to use the accelerator and maintains a set

distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of

you.

ACC operates up to 180 km/h (112 mph).

The ACC system should not be used when:

• road and traffic conditions do not allow you to

maintain a constant speed, such as 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.

Setting a Distance Between Vehicles in ACC

Warning: ACC does not compensate traffic, road or

weather conditions. The driver is responsible for

vehicle speed and braking in emergency situations. Do

not use ACC in conditions that do not permit a

constant speed such as heavy traffic, winding roads or

slippery roads due to weather conditions.

The ACC system will maintain a set distance from the

vehicle in front. If the vehicle begins to brake, your vehicle

will also slow down to match, and increase speed to

match up to the speed set in the cruise control. The

distance between the two vehicles can be set with the

distance controls (2).

The ACC system may not be able to detect narrow

vehicles such as motorcycles or vehicles driving on a

different line. Detection of obstacles can also be affected

by dirty or obscured sensors.

Speed Auto-Resume

If your vehicle comes to a stop as a result of the vehicle in

front of you stopping with ACC active, it can

automatically resume speed if the vehicle in front drives

off again within 3 seconds. If your vehicle is stationary for

more than 3 seconds, press or the accelerator pedal to

resume ACC.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 16 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.17

Speed Limit Adaption

The speed limit adaption does not limit the speed of

the vehicle, but adapts the set speed for the ACC to suit

the speed limit of the road. The driver can always vary

the speed of the vehicle with through the accelerator

pedal.

ACC can adapt its set speed to match the speed limit of

the road if one is detected by the Traffic Sign Assist

system. This can be done manually or automatically when

the vehicle is driven into an area with a change in speed

limit.

• Manual Operation:

When the vehicle is driven into an area with a new

speed limit, a pop up window will be shown. Press

to set the cruise control to the new speed limit.

• Automatic Operation:

When the vehicle is driven into an area with a new

speed limit, the vehicle will automatically adapt the

speed limit for the road.

To set ACC to manual or automatic mode, (Refer to

’Adaptive Cruise Control’, page 12.3).

Deactivation

Set speeds will also be cleared when the ignition is set

to off.

Press to deactivate ACC.

ACC will automatically deactivate when:

• The brake pedal is pressed.

• The park brake is applied.

• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.

• The traction control system is activated.

• The variable speed limiter system is activated.

• A fault occurs in the ACC system. The system will not

operate until the fault is cleared.

• ESP is set to Off.

Lane Assist Systems

Safety Warnings

Warning: The lane assist systems may not always

be able to correctly detect lane markings and it is

possible it may give incorrect warnings. These systems

are an aid only and does not replace the need for driver

awareness. It is the driver's responsibility to be aware

of their surroundings. Always make sure that there is a

suitable distance to the side of your vehicle for other

road users and obstacles.

Warning: The lane assist systems cannot allow for

road, traffic and weather conditions. The driver is

responsible for the vehicle speed, braking in good time

and staying within their lane.

Lane assist systems are only available at speeds

between 60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).

The lane assist system uses the multi purpose camera to

detect lane markings in front of the vehicle, and is split

into systems that increase in level of assistance offered:

• Lane Departure Warning.

• Lane Keep Assist.

System Limitations

Lane Keep Assist may not function correctly in the below

conditions:

• The area around the multi purpose camera is dirty,

damaged or otherwise covered.

• There is a short distance to the vehicle in front.

• There are lots of lane markings that change quickly

such as, merging or crossing lanes.

• The road is very narrow and winding.

• There are no lane markings or the markings are unclear

in the lane, such as when the lane markings are worn

away, a mix of old and new markings or many colour

changes in road surface.

• Weather conditions such as snow, rain, fog or spray

which can cause low visibility or hide road markings.

This can also include reflective roads surfaces due to

rain.

• Glare into the multi purpose camera from the sun or

other road users' headlamps.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 18 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.19

System Status

The status of the lane assist systems is shown at the

bottom of the instrument cluster:

• Grey: System is active but no lane markings have

been detected.

• Full Green: System is active and valid lane

markings have been detected.

• Green with Red Marker: System is active and has

detected the vehicle has crossed a lane marker.

The line shown in red represents which lane has been

crossed.

• Amber: System has a fault and is not available.

Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

• White: System has been manually deactivated.

Lane Departure Warning

This warning can occur earlier, for example if you

begin to approach the other lane marking when on a

bend or are on wider lanes such as a motorway.

If one of the front wheels passes over a lane marking, Lane

Departure Warning will first warn if you leave your lane

with a vibration through the steering wheel and a warning

on the instrument cluster. If you do not react to the

warning, the vehicle will escalate to Lane Keep Assist to

briefly brake a corner of the vehicle to pull the vehicle

back into the correct lane.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 19 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.20 Driving

Lane Keep Assist

Warning: Lane Keep Assist cannot always cause the

vehicle to move back into it's lane. Acceleration,

steering and brake input should always be completed

by the driver.

Warning: Lane Keep Assist does not allow for other

road users and cannot detect traffic conditions. In

some circumstances, the system may steer when not

needed, such as driving over a solid lane marking or

pulling out past an obstruction. Corrective steering in

these circumstances can be interrupted by gently

steering in the opposite direction. Always make sure

that there is enough space for other traffic.

Lane Keep Assist will only happen once for each time

the vehicle leaves it's initial lane. Additional corrective

steering will not happen again until the vehicle has

returned to it's initial lane.

If the vehicle continue to pass over the lane markings,

Lane Keep Assist will make the vehicle briefly steer to one

side to help move the vehicle back to it's initial lane. If this

corrective steering happens, a warning icon will be shown

in the instrument cluster. For the system to operate, lane

markings must be on both sides of the vehicle.

Lane Keep Assist will not happen in the below conditions:

• There is clear and deliberate steering, braking or

acceleration input.

• A turn indicator is switched on.

• The TPMS has detected a fault with a tyre.

• The traction control system is activated.

• The transmission is not in D (Drive).

• An obstruction has been detected in your lane.

• Corners are taken at high speeds or high rates of

acceleration where sudden brake application could

unbalance the vehicle.

To override Lane Keep Assist intervention:

• Activate the turn indicator.

• Apply the brakes.

• Accelerate.

• Gently steer in the opposite direction.

5.22 Driving

Traffic Sign Assist

Traffic Sign Assist is an aid only. Traffic Sign Assist

may not always be able to correctly display road

restrictions. It is the drivers responsibility to be aware of

the traffic signs and restrictions for the road being driven

on. Traffic signs always take precedent over the display

from Traffic Sign Assist.

The Traffic Sign Assist system works with the

navigation system to determine the road speed limit.

The Traffic Sign Assist function shows maximum

permitted speeds for the road in the instrument cluster.

The system will also give indication of any overtaking

restrictions and give a warning if the vehicle is driven

down a one way street the wrong way. When you drive

past a traffic sign that applies to the road you are on, this

information will be updated in the instrument cluster.

The Traffic Sign Assist display will update without a visible

traffic sign when you change roads such as joining another

road that has a different speed limit. This will be

accompanied by an audible beep and the speed will flash

to show the change in road speed. If vehicle speed

exceeds the stated speed for a road, an audible warning

will be given.

If Traffic Sign Assist cannot determine a maximum

permitted speed for the road, no speed limit is shown in

the instrument cluster.

If a traffic sign is passed that gives the end of a road

restriction, such as a speed limit, this information is

shown for five seconds. Applicable traffic regulation will

continue to be shown in the instrument cluster.

Additional Restrictions

Traffic Sign Assist is capable of detecting traffic signs that

have additional restrictions such as alternative speed

limits in wet conditions.

Additional restrictions will only be displayed if there is a

regulation that must be followed with the restriction, or

Traffic Sign Assist is cannot correctly determine if the

restriction is in effect.

Assist’, page 12.3).

System Limitations

Traffic Sign Assist may not function correctly in the below

conditions:

• The area around the multi purpose camera is dirty,

damaged or otherwise covered.

• The traffic signs are hard to detect due to insufficient

lighting or obscured by dirt, ice, snow etc.

• Weather conditions such as snow, rain, fog or spray

which can cause low visibility or hide road signs.

• Glare into the multi purpose camera from the sun or

other road users' headlamps.

• The traffic signs are unclear or obscured, such as signs

on construction areas.

• The information in the navigation system is incorrect

and requires an update.

Driver Attention Assist

Warning: Driver Attention Assist is for aid only and

does not replace the need for driver awareness. It is

always the driver's responsibility to be aware of their

surroundings and make sure to take break if necessary.

Driver Attention Assist is a function to help driver focus on

extended road journeys. Driver Attention Assist regularly

looks for signs of fatigue or lapses in concentration and

will suggest to take a break.

The below information is shown in the Driver Attention

Assist screen in the instrument cluster:

• The time since a break was last taken during the

journey.

• The level of attention determined by Driver Attention

Assist:

If Driver Attention Assist cannot calculate an

attention level or show a warning, a message will be

shown in the instrument cluster and will be shown.

When the vehicle is driven for a continuous period of time,

a pop up window will be shown and a warning symbol

in the instrument cluster.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 23 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.24 Driving

System Limitations

Driver Attention Assist is always enabled when the

vehicle is driven at speeds of 70 km/h (43 mph).

There are certain scenarios where Driver Attention Assist

may not operate or have a delay in providing notifications,

such as:

• If the vehicle has been driven for less than 30 minutes.

• Poor road condition such as potholes or uneven road

surfaces.

• Enthusiastic or sporty driving style such as high

cornering speeds or sharp acceleration.

• Frequent lane changes and changes in speed.

Driver Attention Assist is reset when resuming a journey in

the below conditions:

• The vehicle ignition is switched off.

• The driver's seat belt is unbuckled and the driver's

door is opened.

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 3.5 m (12 ft) behind your vehicle

and 3 m (10 ft) directly next to your vehicle.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 24 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.25

If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approximately 30

km/h (18 mph) and enters the monitoring range directly

next to your vehicle, will illuminate amber in the

exterior mirror. 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 will flash in

the outside mirror. If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no

warning is given.

The system can not 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 moving at 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 0.7

m wide (a motorcycle for example).

If the BSA system detects a vehicle that is

approaching fast enough to be in the blind spot, it will

include this in its detection range.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 25 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

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

infotainment system/vehicle settings (Refer to ’Blind Spot

Assist’, page 12.3).

Blind Spot Warnings

Stage One Warning

When the BSA system detects a vehicle in the driver's

blind spot area, will be shown in the bottom outer

corner of the door mirror.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 26 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.27

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.

• will flash in the door mirror.

• A warning will show in the instrument cluster (changes

for direction of lane change).

Door Exit Warning

Door Exit Warning is available when the vehicle is

stationary and the transmission is in P (Park) or D (Drive).

The feature operates up to 3 minutes after the engine is

switched off.

The Door Exit Warning function is a subfunction of the

BSA system and detects if a vehicle or bicycle is passing

that may come into contact with the door when it is

opened.

When the door is opened

the BSA radars will check for

any approaching vehicles. If there is a risk of collision, then

an audible warning will be heard as the door is opened. In

addition, if a front door is opened then will be

illuminated in the door mirror.

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.

Opened is classed as when door ajar switch is activated and the

interior lamps are switched on.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 27 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.28 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

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.

If ADS is changed from GT, this will be shown in the right

side of the instrument cluster.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 28 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.29

Brakes

Footbrake

The footbrake uses a vacuum boosted, dual (diagonal

split) circuit hydraulic system with Anti-lock Brake

System (ABS).

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.

Caution: 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.

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.

Brake Throttle Override

If the throttle and brake pedals are both pressed at the

same time, the engine will restrict available torque.

Normal functionality will return when the throttle pedal is

pressed without the brake pedal or the brake pedal is

released.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 29 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.30 Driving

Carbon Ceramic Brakes

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.

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 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 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 30 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.31

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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 31 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.32 Driving

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.

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

Warning: AEB is an aid only and does not replace the

need for driver awareness. It is the driver's

responsibility to be aware of their surroundings.

Always make sure that there is a suitable braking

distance for your vehicle.

AEB is disabled when ESP is set to Sport+ or Off

AEB is used to reduce the risk of an accidental collision

with a pedestrian, cyclists or another vehicle. This is

achieved by showing the symbol in the instrument

cluster and audible warnings when a collision risk is

detected. If the driver does not react to the risk of a

collision, the system can also automatically apply the

brakes.

AEB warnings and braking intervention will continue as

long as the risk of collision is present. The system can be

overridden by pressing the accelerator pedal or by

turning the steering wheel.

Driving 5.33

Warning: If the driver does not react, and the vehicle

is required to apply the brakes, this will happen for a

maximum of 1.8 seconds. The purpose of the system is

to gain the driver's attention to control the vehicle,

and reduce the risk of rear impact from vehicles

behind.

AEB is set to on for each ignition cycle at the

previously set sensitivity level.

The sensitivity of warnings for AEB can be adjusted in the

infotainment between Early and Late warnings or set to

off (Refer to ’Automatic Emergency Braking’, page 12.3).

If AEB is set to off, will be shown in the instrument

cluster.

System Limitations

AEB may not function correctly in the below conditions:

• The area around the multi purpose camera is dirty,

damaged or otherwise covered.

• Glare into the multi purpose camera from the sun or

other road users' headlamps.

• A pedestrian's outline is concealed, or the system

cannot determine a pedestrians outline due the

background.

• The vehicle in front is either too narrow, such as a

motorbike or the vehicle in front is offset and not

following the same driving line.

• Vehicles rapidly moving into radar range or complex

traffic.

• There is lots of background radar reflection such as a

multi-storey car parks.

• The background environment changes frequently or

rapidly.

• The driver is clearly engaged in the driving task by

having a high activity on the accelerator pedal or

steering wheel.

In addition, the braking performance of AEB is strictly

related to vehicle conditions (such as worn tyres, and

brake pads), road conditions (such as wet or other road

surfaces with low grip) and weather conditions (such as

snow and heavy rain).

Fault Conditions

In the unlikely event that there is a fault that prevents safe

operation of AEB, the system will be automatically

deactivated, and a warning message will be shown in the

instrument cluster along with the symbol. Contact

your Aston Martin Dealer.

Brake Pad Conditioning

Warning: For track use or high speed driving, new

brake pads must be correctly conditioned. Failure to

correctly condition the pads may result in greatly

reduced brake performance. Contact your Aston

Martin Dealer for further information.

When new brake pads are installed the brake discs and

pads need to be conditioned. During this time, brake

performance will be reduced.

Avoid excessive braking, such as hard stops from high

speed and steep descents, for the first 300 km (200 miles)

after new brake pads are installed. For further

information contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Distances can vary depending on driving conditions and

frequency of brake use

Driving 5.35

Park Brake

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.

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 park brake operates on the rear wheels of the

vehicle.

The park brake is automatically applied when P

(Park) is selected.

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.

The engine must be started, the driver's side door

must be closed and the driver's seat belt must be buckled

for Drive Away Release to operate.

With the park brake applied, select D (Drive) or R

(Reverse) and press the throttle pedal. The park brake will

release as the vehicle moves forwards or backwards, and

the symbol will go off to show the park brake has

been released.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 35 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.36 Driving

Manual Park Brake Application

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.

Manual Park Brake Release

The ignition control must be on to release the park

brake.

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

brake switch and release. The symbol will go off to

show the park brake has been released.

Emergency Operation

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 a warning message will be shown

in the instrument cluster.

Release the switch to cancel the park brake application.

The park brake will only apply as normal once the vehicle

has stopped movement.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 36 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.37

Cold Weather Operation

At low temperatures such as below 0°C (32°F) moisture

within the brake pads may freeze and cause the brake

pads to bind to the brake discs when the park brake is

applied. Additional torque may need to be applied when

the vehicle is first used after extended periods of being

parked, and there may be a noise as the brake pads

become free. Once released, the brakes will operate as

normal.

If the vehicle is parked in wet and cold conditions for an

extended period of time, the vehicle should be parked on

a stable, flat surface where possible. If it is safe to do so,

the park brake should be manually released.

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, a warning message will

be shown in the instrument cluster. Contact your nearest

Aston Martin Dealer.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to drive

safely according to the law and with due regard to

prevailing conditions.

Warning: 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 ’Wheels and Tyres’, page 13.16)for

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

worn tyres on the same axle.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 37 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.38 Driving

ESP Modes

ESP has four modes of operation:

Wet

Wet mode delivers the highest level of stability and

traction control on low friction road surfaces experienced

in wet driving conditions as well as snow and icy

conditions. This mode is calibrated to provide predictable

torque control and avoid harsh brake interventions to

maximise stability. will flash in the instrument cluster

when in operation.

ESP On

ESP On is the default setting each time the engine is

started. will flash in the instrument cluster when in

operation. Engine torque and application of the brakes at

individual wheels will be controlled by ESP to aid stability.

ESP On is suitable for most driving conditions, however

for increased stability Wet mode is recommended.

ESP Track

Warning: ESP TRACK 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 traction

control and reduced yaw stabilisation. When ESP Track is

selected, will be shown in the instrument cluster.

ESP Off

In ESP off, traction control is set to be user adjustable.

will show in the instrument cluster along with the set

level of slip from traction control .

For more information, (Refer to ’Traction Control’, page

5.39).

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 38 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.39

To Change ESP Mode

To change the ESP modes the engine ignition must be on

with the transmission in gear.

Press (A) for to change from ESP On to ESP Track.

To set the ESP mode to Off, press and hold .

Press and hold with ESP Off to set back to ESP On.

If drive mode is set to Wet, ESP mode will

automatically change to Wet. Press again to set ESP

On.

Traction Control

Traction control 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, traction control 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 traction control operates when driving on extended icy

or slippery surfaces, reduce engine power as necessary

until goes off.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 39 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.40 Driving

Adjustable Traction Control

When ESP is set to Off, traction control set to be user

adjustable. Use the drive mode select dial to adjust the

level of slip allowed by the traction control between 1

(least slip) to 9 (traction control off).

The set level will be shown and a set level reminder

notification will be given in bottom of the instrument

cluster.

Engine torque reductions are used to maintain a

controlled slip condition. When TC is set to level 1, engine

torque reduction will be at it's strongest to keep the slip

level low. The level of engine torque reduction decrease

as the TC level increases up to level 9. At level TC 9 (TC

Off) there is no engine torque reduction.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) will change its

operation depending on conditions.

When ESP is set to On or Wet, 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).

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. Braking performance is given greater

priority over stability.

The ABS will adapt 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 40 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.41

Electronic Differential (E-Diff)

This vehicle features an Electronic Rear Differential (E-

Diff), which works with the ESP system to adjust and

control how the engine’s power is delivered to the rear

wheels. Electronic management controls how the rear

differential lock operates, using sensors around the

vehicle to detect how the car is behaving. The system is

then calibrated for how it should react in relation to the

vehicle movement and is able to adjust for driver inputs.

At any given road speed it can detect very subtle changes

in dynamic behaviour which may indicate understeer or

overseer. The system can then increase or decrease

locking torque across the rear axle to maximise

performance whilst keeping the vehicle stable and under

control.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning: Driving on a significantly under-inflated

tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre

failure. Over-inflation and under-inflation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may

affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Warning: The TPMS is not a substitute for correct

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

maintain correct tyre pressures, even if under-inflation

has not reached the level to set the TPMS tyre pressure

indicator symbol to on.

A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is installed as

a safety feature. This system will display the tyre

pressures for each tyre and provide warnings if pressure is

below a specified pressure for each tyre.

Each tyre should be checked at least once every two

weeks when cold, and inflated to the pressure

recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or on the tyre

pressure label. If your vehicle has tyres of a different size

than the size indicated on the tyre pressure label, you

should determine the proper tyre pressure for those

tyres.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 41 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.42 Driving

Tyre Pressure Display

The TPMS display can be shown in the instrument cluster

display in the Vehicle menu. The screen itself shows the

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

tyre is below the minimum pressure this will be shown in

red as well as the symbol being illuminated at the

bottom of the screen.

Tyre pressures will be displayed after the vehicle has

been driven for a few minutes.

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, press and hold

the OK button on the steering wheel. Press OKto confirm

the new pressures.

Driving 5.43

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 48 km/h (30 mph) maximum. Contact

your Aston Martin Dealer.

Eco Driving Features

Stop/Start

The Stop/Start function switches the engine off when the

vehicle comes to a stop to reduce fuel consumption and

emissions.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 43 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.44 Driving

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 transmission is in either D (Drive) or N (Neutral).

• The vehicle battery condition is suitable.

• The bonnet is closed.

• The driver's door is closed.

• The driver's seatbelt is fastened.

• The engine is at operating temperate.

• The outside temperature is within a suitable range.

• The vehicle climate temperature has reached the set

temperature.

• The engine has been on for a minimum of 20 seconds.

If any of the above conditions are not met when the

engine attempts a stop/start event, the symbol will

be shown, otherwise will be shown when the system

is active.

When the engine is switched off, all the remaining vehicle

systems will continue to operate (navigation, media etc).

Engine Start Conditions

The engine will automatically start again when:

• The engine has been switched off for 3 minutes.

• The engine goes above or below operating

temperature.

• The throttle pedal is pressed.

• The brake pedal is released.

• The steering wheel is turned.

• If has been pressed on the centre stack.

• R (Reverse) is selected.

• Sport+ is selected for drive mode.

• The driver's seatbelt is unfastened.

• The driver's door is opened.

• The vehicle begins to roll.

• 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.

Driving 5.45

Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)

The GPF system is used to reduce particulate emissions

from the exhaust system. Particulates are stored in the

exhaust system, and are burned off as the filter is filled in

an event called regeneration, which happens

automatically as the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is only

driven on short journeys or in cold environments where

more particulates are generated during cold starts, a

warning may be shown in the instrument cluster.

Stage 1 Warning

Regeneration should be completed in GT mode and

without cruise control active.

When the stage 1 warning is shown, the vehicle should be

driven on a motorway or similar road where a constant

and steady speed can be held for several minutes. As the

vehicle is driven, the engine calibration is altered to

increase the temperature in the exhaust and the filter

element until it is high enough to burn the soot. After

several minutes of driving, the throttle pedal should be

released for a few seconds at a time (or when leaving a

motorway junction). This will then enable the soot to be

burned from the exhaust system. Repeat this procedure

until the warning symbol is no longer shown in the

instrument cluster.

If, after a period of driving and doing the above

instructions, the warning lamp is still shown, contact your

Aston Martin Dealer.

Stage 2 Warning

If the stage 2 warning is shown, there is a fault with the

GPF system that means the vehicle cannot perform a

regeneration. This can be a fault with the GPF electrical or

pressure systems, or the filter itself, or that the

accumulated particulate mass is too high, and cannot be

safely burned. If this warning symbol is shown, contact

your Aston Martin Dealer as soon as possible.

5.46 Driving

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.

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.

Gear Selected Sensors Activated

(D) Drive Front sensors only.

(R) Reverse, (N) Neutral Front and rear sensors.

(P) Park Sensors off.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 46 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.47

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 0.3 m (1 ft) from the

front or 1 m (3.3 ft) from the rear of the vehicle.

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.

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.

5.48 Driving

360° Camera System

Caution: The camera system can show a distorted,

delayed 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 48 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Driving 5.49

Activation

To activate the 360° camera, press the button on the

lower console. The camera will show the split screen with

either the front or rear view, depending on the

transmission selection.

The camera system will be disabled when the vehicle

speed exceeds 16 km/h (10 mph). At higher speeds the

camera display will still be selected, but no image will be

shown.

The system will display images again when the vehicle

speed drops below 11 km/h (7 mph).

The ignition must be on for the cameras to operate.

Activation by Reverse

The rear view can be set to activate automatically when

reverse is selected (Refer to ’Parking’, page 12.5).

View Selection

Select a view from view selection bar. The split-screen

views that can be shown are:

• Rear view (select from narrow and wide view).

• Front view (select from narrow and wide view).

Park Distance Control with Top View (Front and Rear

views)

To aid with parking the vehicle, a dynamic overlay screen

will be shown over the camera image. The overlay screen

adjusts with steering angle and shows the following

information:

1. Distance markers

• Red Line: 0.35 m (1.1 ft) behind the vehicle.

• Yellow Markers: 1 m (3.3 ft) behind the vehicle and

the 0.5 m (1.6 ft) intervals.

2. Projected tyre path.

3. Maximum vehicle width guideline (includes door

mirrors).

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Warning: Rear Cross Traffic Assist is an aid only. The

system cannot detect pedestrians walking behind the

vehicle. It always is the driver's responsibility to be

aware of their surroundings when parking or reversing.

The Rear Cross Traffic Assist (RCTA) uses the blind spot

assist radar modules to alert the driver when a moving

vehicle or bicycle approaches behind your vehicle

When reverse gear is selected the RCTA system searches

for moving objects behind the vehicle. If an object or

vehicle is detected, an audible warning is given and a

warning is shown on the infotainment screen in the

direction of the detected vehicle.

If the driver does not intervene and there is still the risk of

a collision, then the vehicle will automatically apply the

brakes.

RCTA can be set to on or off in the vehicle setting menu

(Refer to ’Rear Cross Traffic Assist’, page 12.4).

RCTA only operates for moving vehicles. Static obstructions

will not be detected but will activate the parking sensors instead.

Emergency Call System

ECall SOS

The eCall system provides the user with an emergency

call system. The system uses the GPS satellite network to

provide an accurate location for emergency services to

find the site of an accident.

In both automatic and manual activation, when a call is

connecting the red status LED in the button will flash.

Once a voice connection is established the button

will also illuminated.

When the ignition is set to on, the red status LED will

illuminate while the system is performing a self-test. If

there are no errors the status LED will go off. If the red

LED stays on, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Manual Operation

The system can also be activated manually by pressing

and holding the button (A) for 2 to 4 seconds. This

can be used in the event of a accident that was not severe

enough to deploy airbags, but still requires assistance

from the emergency services. The system can also be

used if you witness and want to report a severe accident

but are not actually involved in the incident.

Once a call has started, only the operator can end the

call.

An emergency call should only be made if you or

others are in need of rescue. Do not make an emergency

call in the event of a breakdown or a similar non-

emergency situation.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 51 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

5.52 Driving

Automatic Operation

The eCall system is directly connected to the Occupant

Restraint Control (ORC) system. If the ORC system

detects a crash scenario and deploys the airbags, the

eCall system will be operated automatically.

When this happens:

• A 2-way voice call is automatically opened with an

eCall operator.

• An automated text message is sent to the Operating

Centre to advise that an accident has occurred and will

provide information such as location.

In the event that the eCall operator attempts to

contact you and there is no answer, such as if the vehicle

occupants are unconscious, the emergency services will

be automatically dispatched to your location.

Malfunction Warning

In the unlikely event of a fault with the eCall system, the

red status LED will stay as constantly red. If the LED is

constantly red when the system is not in use, contact your

Aston Martin Dealer for assistance.

If neither the red status LED or is illuminated during

normal operation, the eCall service is not available.

Climate Control 6.7

Climate Control Operating Tips

• Moisture which forms on the evaporator in the air

conditioning unit is discharged via a drain tube onto

the road. After stopping, small puddles of water may

form underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does

not show a system malfunction.

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

the vehicle is being pressure washed.

• 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.

Convenience Features

Connected Navigation

The navigation system features integrated online

connectivity to enable smarter navigation in real time,

with the ability to dynamically interact both with the

world around your vehicle as well as your lifestyle.

On-Board System

The integrated navigation system offers smarter

mapping by using the latest maps, real time traffic data,

dynamic Point of Interest (POI) searches and AI voice

assistant requests.

Real Time Data

The system will always check the latest real time traffic

data for a planned route. During the journey, data will be

constantly checked and dynamic journey planning will be

updated to provide the quickest time to destination.

Online POI Search

Connected navigation is able to search the internet to

discover appropriate POI’s and their associated

information. For example, you can search restaurants, see

their opening times, location and reviews as well as

choose the POI as a destination.

OTA Map Updates

The system will automatically check for the latest map

data available for its current region up to four times a

year. If an update is available, this will download in the

background and installed automatically. In addition,

rapidly changing map data, such as road closures,

satellite views or regions outside of the main mapping

market, then local maps will be downloaded to provide

seamless mapping.

Mobile App

The Aston Martin mobile app also features navigation

support, such as POI lookup and mapping definition.

These features allow you to plan routes and locations

before a journey, with seamless communication to your

vehicle for a truly effortless and efficient journey at all

times. As part of continuous improvement, further

Theft Alert

Theft Alert is not a replacement for a stolen vehicle

tracking system and is managed through a support call

centre.

In the unlikely event of vehicle theft, attempted break in

or suspected tampering, the Theft Alert function will

notify the vehicle owner or assigned app user that the

alarm has been activated.

If the alarm system is activated whilst the vehicle is locked

and the alarm is armed, a notification alert will be issued in

your personal mobile device's notifications as well.

The location or lock status feature status will be available

in the app menus, but is only a notification function if the

vehicle alarm is triggered.

Vehicle Management Features

Locate

Locate functions rely on GPS information and so

accuracy may be affected if your vehicle is parked

underground, parking structures or dense urban

environments. In such situations, only the last known GPS

position may be given.

The Locate function is used to help find your vehicle when

left in areas such as particularly large car parks or parking

in an unfamiliar area. Tap Locate in the Aston Martin

mobile app to be shown the last location of your vehicle,

and if necessary guided to your vehicle.

Identify

The Identify function is used to help in crowded and dark

places by flashing the indicators and a short sounding of

the horn to provide a visual and audible alert as to your

vehicle's location.

moving, a notification is given in the app and Protect will

be activated next time the vehicle is stationary.

Once active, switching the ignition, or activating privacy

mode will not cancel Protect and will remain active until

disabled by the Primary app user.

In-Vehicle Notification

A notification is given in the vehicle infotainment to alert

the driver that the vehicle has Protect active. If the driver

tries to change any of the limited parameters a pop up will

be shown to explain that the feature is limited during

Protect.

Driver will still be able to set Lane Keep Assist to off.

8.8 Connected Car

Vehicle Services Functions

Privacy mode

To promote privacy, a user must opt into the connected

system before being able to access any connected car

functions. Once opted in, a user will be guided through

how their data is protected within our system. Industry

standard cyber security protection is used on the Aston

Martin cloud servers, as well as encryption of data sent

between your vehicle and app.

Within the app, a user can choose to temporarily sever

connection to the connected ecosystem. Privacy mode is

activated through the infotainment system (Refer to

’System Settings’, page 12.6).

Once disconnected, no data will be sent or received from

the vehicle which can include:

• Online navigation support

• Geo-location data

• Customer contact centre calls

When Privacy mode is deactivated, full connected

services will be reconnected from that point forward. No

historic data will be sent once reconnected so that

anonymity during Privacy mode is maintained.

Over The Air (OTA) Updates

A key benefit of a connected car system is the ability to

remotely update software and certain vehicle modules.

This helps make sure that your vehicle always has the

latest software levels installed without the need to visit an

Aston Martin Dealer. OTA updates are checked for during

each ignition cycle and will seamlessly be delivered

through the integrated GSM connection.

When an update is available, the data package will

download in the background and then notify on the

infotainment screen when it is ready to install.

Subscriptions

A 3 year subscription is included with sale of your vehicle.

In addition to this, a growing portfolio of individual paid

features will be available. To manage subscription levels,

a private section of the app is available to review, renew

and cancel your current or future subscription packages.

Preferred Dealer

A preferred Dealer can be set within the app as a contact

for information and service requirements. If you have any

issues or queries about connected car or app functions

contact your preferred Dealer.

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..

The deck lid will lock and will stay locked during roof

lowering and raising operations.

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.

• A maximum headroom (A) of 1795 mm is available for

the roof to raise or lower.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 2 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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 (A) 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

window switch to operate the windows as normal.

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 in 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 3 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

11.4 Convertible Roof

Over-speed Operation

Vehicle speed should be below 55 km/h (34 mph) when

the roof is operated.

If the vehicle speed exceeds 55 km/h (34 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

(31 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.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 4 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 5 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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 luggage

compartment.

Installation

To install the wind deflector:

1. Remove the wind deflector from the storage bag.

2. Unfold the base panels.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 6 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Convertible Roof 11.7

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 7 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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, 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 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.

13.2 Maintenance and Technical Data

Introduction

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 chapter.

If you think that this vehicle is not functioning correctly,

please contact an Aston Martin Dealer for the vehicle to

be professionally checked.

Parts and Lubricants

Aston Martin recommends that when performing a

servicing task, the recommended lubricants (Refer to

’Fluid Checks and Capacities’, page 13.8) 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 2 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.3

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.

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.

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.

Warning: Catalytic converters convert harmful

exhaust gasses into less noxious substances and so

reduce environmental pollution. They operate at high

temperatures and continue to radiate a considerable

amount of heat after the ignition has been set to off.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 3 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

13.4 Maintenance and Technical Data

Warning: Do not breathe exhaust fumes. Exhaust

fumes contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a

dangerous gas, which is colourless and odourless and

can cause unconsciousness and may be fatal. Never

start or leave the engine running in an enclosed,

unventilated area.

Warning: Do not work beneath the vehicle with a

vehicle lifting jack as the only support. Place suitable

stands under the vehicle.

Warning: Keep children and pets clear of the

vehicle. Do not let anyone inside the vehicle unless

specifically working to your instructions.

Warning: Whenever possible, work in the engine

compartment with the engine cool, the ignition off and

the vehicle battery disconnected.

Warning: Petrol is highly flammable and, in

confined spaces, is also explosive and toxic. In the

event of spillage, set the engine to off. Do not use a

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

near fuel or fuel vapour. Do not inhale fuel vapour or

fumes.

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. Never disregard them.

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.5

Engine Oils

Warning: Prolonged and repeated contact with

used engine oils can cause serious skin disorders,

including dermatitis and cancer. Avoid excessive

contact, wash thoroughly after contact. Keep out of

reach of children. When your oil is changed, be sure

that it is done by an experienced person. In addition,

observe all laws regarding the disposal of waste oil

and toxic fluids.

Protect The Environment

Warning: It is illegal to pollute drains, water

courses, or soil. Use authorised waste disposal

facilities, including civic amenity sites and garages

providing facilities for receipt of used oil. If in doubt,

contact your local authority for advice.

Owner Maintenance Checks

In the interests of safety and reliability, it is advisable to

carry out the following checks at the intervals suggested

(more frequently if your vehicle is heavily used or

operating in adverse conditions), and always before

starting on a long journey. Refer to the following pages

for advice and check procedures.

Before Use Check:

• Operation of lamps, horn, indicators, wipers, washers

and warning symbols

• Check there is sufficient fuel for the intended journey,

particularly at night and before entering motorways

• Operation of the seat belts

Fluid Checks and Capacities

Engine Oil Level

Warning: Engine oil or components may be hot and

could cause severe burns.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below

the lower mark or above the upper mark can cause

serious engine damage.

Caution: This vehicle's warranty may be invalidated

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

Low quality or obsolete oils do NOT give the protection

required by modern, high performance engines.

Caution: Failure to use engine oil that meets the

required specification can cause excessive engine wear,

a build up of sludge and deposits, and increased

pollution. It could also lead to engine failure.

Engine Oil Level Sensing

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 level can cause serious engine damage.

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

temperature is low.

If the engine oil level is approaching the minimum mark, a

message will be shown in the instrument cluster along

with a warning symbol. A code will also be stored in the

engine management system. The engine oil level 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.

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.17

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

Because of the high performance potential of this

vehicle, Aston Martin strongly recommend replacement

of any damaged or worn tyre.

Tyres should be examined at regular intervals for wear

and damage. Inspect the tyre treads and sidewalls for

damage, i.e. bulges in the tread or the sidewalls, cracks in

the tread groove and separation in the tread or the

sidewalls. If damage is observed or suspected have the

tyre inspected by a tyre professional.

Stones or other objects which have become lodged in the

tyre treads should be carefully removed.

Flat Spots

It is a characteristic of high performance tyres that

temporary ’flat spots’ may develop if the vehicle is left

standing in high or low ambient temperatures for any

length of time.

These ’flat spots’ will manifest themselves as minor

vibrations when the vehicle is first driven from cold. As the

tyres warm up to operating temperature, normal tyre

shape should be restored and the vibrations cease. If

vibrations persist, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 17 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

13.18 Maintenance and Technical Data

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 (50 miles) 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 18 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.19

Summer Tyres

The recommended tyres for this vehicle are asymmetrical

and must be installed to the wheel with the tyre mark

‘OUTSIDE’ on the outside of the wheel rim.

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

axles, therefore complete wheels cannot be swapped

between axles.

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 19 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

13.20 Maintenance and Technical Data

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) winter wheels. For more information

regarding the correct snow traction device to fit to your

vehicle, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Electrical Systems

Fuses

The electrical systems are protected by fuses. If any

lamps, accessories, or controls do not function, inspect

the applicable fuse.

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

the same fuse blows again, avoid using that system and

consult your Aston Martin Dealer as soon as possible.

Pyrotechnic Safety Switch

The Pyrotechnic Safety Switch (PSS) is designed to

operate in both over-current and crash events. When

activated, the PSS will completely isolate the electrical

system from the battery to reduce the risk of electric

shock or a vehicle fire.

The PSS is a single-use item and will require replacement

if it has been activated.

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.

13.28 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.

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.

Vehicle Battery Disposal

The incorrect disposal of a vehicle battery can be

extremely hazardous to health and the environment.

Most batteries contain materials that, when disposed of

incorrectly, may leak into the environment. This can

contribute to soil and water pollution and endanger

wildlife.

Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.

Follow your local authorised standards for disposal. 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.

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.

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.29

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.

For further safety information and operating

instructions, refer to the instructions supplied with the

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.

Opposite to the country in which your vehicle is registered.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 30 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.31

For best results:

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

vehicle cool before washing.

• Do not use household soaps or detergents.

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

and boot lid seals.

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

little scratches.

Suggested washing method:

1. Fill two buckets with water. Add a mild neutral

detergent, as directed by the detergent

manufacturer to one of the buckets.

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

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

over the paint and scratch it.

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

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

Wash the vehicle section by section, starting at the

top. Circle around the car several times, washing

lower areas with each round. Rinse the dirt out of the

wash mitt or soft sponge in the bucket with plain

water frequently.

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

before moving on, don't let the soap dry on the paint

as this can stain it. Always keep the vehicle wet, this

will prevent droplets from drying on the paint and

leaving water-spots.

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

13.32 Maintenance and Technical Data

Paint Work

Modern water based paints are much safer and more

environmentally friendly than solvent based paints.

Water based paints are however more susceptible to

contamination and marking by corrosive substances. The

following list is not exhaustive but does show the most

common contaminants which may adversely affect your

paint work:

• Bird droppings,

• Antifreeze,

•Tree sap,

• Oils and greases,

•Insect remains.

Wash such substances from the vehicle using clean warm

water with vehicle shampoo at the earliest opportunity,

especially in sunny weather which can accelerate

contamination.

Other groups of contaminants may be added to this

list as experience of water based paints and finishes

increases.

Satin Paint

(Optional)

The Aston Martin new car warranty covers defects in

materials or workmanship of the paint work. The

warranty does NOT cover repairs to your satin or matt

paint work caused by negligence, lack of or improper

maintenance such as waxing or polishing the finish,

environmental influences, or improper repairs or

damage that causes the satin finish to become glossy.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 32 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.33

In comparison to conventional paints with a gloss or

metallic surface, satin paint work must be cared for

slightly differently. In order to avoid damage to the satin

paint work, make sure that the cleaning and care points

below are followed:

1. Only use cleaning products recommended by Aston

Martin. Abrasive cleaning products will change the

satin appearance of the paint and must not be used.

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

glossing of the paintwork.

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

will avoid particles such as sand and dust, from

damaging the painted surface.

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

use abrasive cleaning tools.

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

spots, fuels and oil immediately. Avoid strong

rubbing while cleaning the vehicle.

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

mark when removed.

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

Aston Martin category A or B body shop.

Front Grille

Wash and clean the vehicle's front grille in the same way

as the paint work, but make sure that the front grille is

dried off completely leaving no water droplets on the

grille (wipe the front grille last using a chamois leather):

Chrome polish or other abrasive cleaners must not be

used.

Ceramic Brake Discs

(Optional)

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 33 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

13.34 Maintenance and Technical Data

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, alcohol based cleaners, 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 34 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Maintenance and Technical Data 13.35

Several times a year, a leather conditioner or preservative

should be used. Appropriate care materials are

obtainable from your Aston Martin Dealer.

The brushed and anodised aluminium trim should be

cleaned using a dry clean lint free cloth.

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.

Consult your Aston Martin Dealer for instructions on the

removal of more difficult stains such as oil, grease or

ballpoint ink.

Carpets should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum

cleaner. Any stains or grease marks should be removed

with a good quality solvent suitable for use on carpets.

Care and Maintenance of Seat Belts

Caution: Do not allow seat belts to be retracted until

they are completely dry.

To make sure that the restraint webbings are in correct

working order, regularly check the seat belts. Look for

fraying, cuts, burns and similar problems. Make sure that

the latches and buckles operate correctly. If a seat belt is

not in good condition or is not working correctly, consult

your Aston Martin Dealer.

Any seat belt that has been worn during a serious collision

should be replaced by an Aston Martin Dealer.

To clean the seat belts, use mild soap and water; do not

use bleach, solvents or dyes, as they can weaken the

material. Allow the seat belts to dry thoroughly before

use.

miles) or to the nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

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

miles) away, arrange for collection with Aston Martin

Assistance.

• The system will effectively seal a tyre that was

punctured by an object with a diameter of up to 6 mm.

It is possible that a tyre, especially with greater

damage, will not be sealed. Do not remove objects

that punctured the tyre if they are still lodged in the

tyre.

• The sealant bottle needs to be exchanged before it

expires. Do not use the system after the expiry date on

the sealant bottle or casing has been reached. Contact

your nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

• Do not attempt to inflate other objects without using a

system adapter and do not inflate objects with a

volume greater than 50 litre (air mattresses, rubber

boats, etc.). Do not let the system pump air for more

than 10 minutes without stopping it and allowing it to

cool down.

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.

Fuel

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 fuel flap will not open use the fuel 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, 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.

Warranty is only valid for region the vehicle is built

for. If the vehicle is imported or exported to another

region the warranty will no longer be valid.

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

one of the following territories:

• The Americas; or

• United Kingdom, Europe, Russia, Ukraine and South

Africa; or

• Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey; or

•Asia Pacific; or

• China; or

• Any other market that does not have an authorised

Aston Martin Dealer

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

Region from which your Aston Martin vehicle was

purchased, where there is an 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 2 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 3 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 4 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 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 service chapter sets 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

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.

a high standard of trouble free motoring. However,

should the unexpected occur, our worldwide Dealer

network is there to help you. Details and contact

telephone numbers are shown in the Dealer Directory. In

you and your passengers with the help you need quickly

and efficiently should your vehicle suffer a Breakdown

Incident

Vehicles Covered

The benefits of Aston Martin Emergency Assistance are

applicable to new and approved pre-owned Aston Martin

vehicles purchased from an authorised Aston Martin

Dealer. Refer to www.astonmartin.com for a list of

authorised Aston Martin Dealers.

At completion of your purchase, your Aston Martin

Dealer will register your vehicle for Aston Martin

Emergency Assistance. From registration, your vehicle

will be entitled to Aston Martin Emergency Assistance

(the ‘Vehicle’). For more details of what constitutes an

eligible Vehicle, and term of cover, please refer to the

Schedule.

Owners of eligible Vehicles can also obtain Aston Martin

Emergency Assistance when travelling temporarily

outside their Country

, within Europe.

A Breakdown Incident means an event where an eligible

Vehicle is immobilised due to a breakdown in circumstances

where it qualifies for Aston Martin Emergency Assistance,

including home-starts or broken glass. Furthermore, Aston

related defects, which render the Vehicle illegal to drive. These

defects relate to, for example, failure of the seat belts,

windscreen wipers, direction indicators, front and rear lamps.

'Country' means the country in which your Vehicle is

registered.

financial limitation.

minutes), the Service Provider will take you, the Vehicle

and your passengers to the nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

In the event that you (or your passengers) need to keep an

important appointment, you will be taken there before

destination.

C.4 Aston Martin Assistance

Should the Breakdown Incident occur outside of

workshop hours, Aston Martin Emergency Assistance

shall arrange for secure storage of the Vehicle until the

next working day. The Vehicle shall arrive at the Dealer by

been towed, is able to carry out the repairs at its premises,

then the Vehicle will be repaired there.

Once the Vehicle is at a Dealership for repair, Aston

Martin Emergency Assistance will keep in contact with the

Dealer to follow the progress of the repair, and if

necessary, arrange any extension of a replacement

vehicle with Aston Martin Customer Service.

Home Start

Aston Martin Emergency Assistance will provide all the

benefits of Roadside Assistance at the Vehicle’s

registered address.

Recovery

Vehicle at the roadside, the Service Provider will arrange

recovery of you and your Vehicle to the nearest Aston

Martin Dealer.

If your Vehicle has been involved in an accident or has

gone off the road and needs to be salvaged before

towing, Aston Martin Emergency Assistance will charge

you for services on a ‘Pay for Use’ basis and you may be

able to claim these back from your insurance company.

You will be covered for costs of recovery and towing

(including any handling fee) but you may be charged for

any costs incurred if the Vehicle is, for example, disabled

by floods or snow-affected roads, is embedded in sand or

mud, or is not easily accessible.

If your Vehicle cannot be repaired and / or recovery is

initiated to an Aston Martin Dealer, the Service Provider

will provide alternative travel options for you. You will be

entitled to receive one of the following additional

services:

• An alternative replacement vehicle for up to two

working days in your Country, or 14 days if the

Breakdown Incident occurs outside your Country (a

collection and delivery service, or equivalent, is

available from chosen suppliers subject to availability

and supplier’s terms and conditions).

the nearest to the repairing Dealer. Alternative addresses

closer to the repairing Dealer may also be considered.

beyond the term of the permitted loan period (as noted

above), you will be responsible for any additional charges

incurred for the extended period. If you cannot fulfil the

nominated vehicle hire terms and conditions, or

circumstances prevent you from qualifying to hire the

vehicle, and alternative mobility arrangements are more

appropriate, then onward travel arrangements or hotel

accommodation will be provided instead. The vehicle hire

agreement will be between you and the relevant supplier

European Autoroute Restrictions

If assistance is required on a French Autoroute or on

certain Autoroutes in other European countries, you must

use the official SOS boxes at the side of the road in order

to arrange initial assistance or recovery. You will be

connected to the authorised Autoroute Assistance

Service because these roads are privatised. Neither Aston

Martin Emergency Assistance nor any other assistance

organisations are allowed to assist on these roads.

Once your Aston Martin has been recovered from the

Autoroute, you should contact Aston Martin Emergency

Assistance at the earliest opportunity to make sure that

any further assistance arrangements you require can be

made on your behalf.

Aston Martin Emergency Assistance will advise you how

to reclaim costs incurred for recovery from the

Autoroute.

What is not Covered

Aston Martin Emergency Assistance is thorough and

comprehensive; however, claims cannot be met as a

result of any of the following:

1. Where you, or anyone else acting on your behalf,

make repair or service arrangements without

authorisation (and a file number) from Aston Martin

Emergency Assistance.

2. Where any loss, theft, damage, death, bodily injury,

cost or expense that is not directly associated with

the incident that caused you to claim, unless

expressly stated in this policy.

3. If the Breakdown Incident is due to fire, theft,

accident or vandalism, your costs will not be covered

by Aston Martin Emergency Assistance but should be

met by third party insurance covering the incident.

4. Damage or injury intentionally caused by you or

resulting from your participation in a criminal

offence.

5. If your Vehicle is kept in an un-roadworthy condition

or has not been serviced in accordance with the

Manufacturer’s recommendations.

6. Any costs that would have been payable by you, such

as petrol, toll charges, parking fees, cost of meals,

drinks, telephone calls and/ or newspapers or any

other costs not specifically stated as being covered

by Aston Martin Emergency Assistance, which may

be incurred by you and/ or the other members of

your party as a result of and/ or in connection with

the Breakdown Incident.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 10 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 11 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

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 eligible Vehicles situated on private

property (for example garage premises) unless

you can establish to the reasonable satisfaction of

Aston Martin Emergency Assistance that

permission has been given by the relevant owner

or occupier.

12.2 Vehicle servicing or re-assembly where this is

required as a result of neglect or unsuccessful

work on the Vehicle other than on the part of the

Service Provider or its agents.

12.3 The recovery of any Vehicles bearing trade plates

or which Aston Martin Emergency Assistance has

reason to believe have just been imported or

purchased at auction.

12.4 The transportation of immobilised Vehicles

where Aston Martin Emergency Assistance

considers this to be part of a commercial activity.

12.5 Assistance for Vehicles broken down as a result

of taking part in any 'Motor Sport Event',

including, without limitation, motor racing,

rallying, speed or duration tests or practice

thereof, trials or time-trials, auto test (other than

auto tests performed by the Client using

roadworthy, road legal cars on public roads), but

excluding 'Concours d'elegance' events, track

test days for road-legal Vehicles or rallies held

exclusively on open public roads where

participants are required to comply with the

normal rules of the road (save for Aston Martin

organised and controlled track day events).

12.6 Where the police, highways agency and / or other

emergency service require that your Vehicle be

recovered by a third party.

12.7 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.

RY53-19A321-AB.book Page 12 Friday, November 3, 2023 10:40 AM

Aston Martin Assistance C.13

12.8 Assistance for routine maintenance and running

repairs of the Vehicle such as fixing faulty radios

and heated rear windows.

12.9 For transit risk insurance, which Aston Martin

Emergency Assistance recommends you take out

where a Vehicle is to be repatriated.

12.10 Where locksmiths, body-glass or tyre specialists

are required. Aston Martin Emergency Assistance

will endeavour to arrange for their assistance on

your behalf, however, you will be responsible for

the costs of their services. Further, if use of a

locksmith or other specialist would, in Aston

Martin Emergency Assistance’s opinion, mobilise

the vehicle, no further service will be given for the

breakdown in question.

12.11 The transportation of any animal or pets shall be

at the sole discretion of the Service Provider.

13. The Service Provider may charge you directly for:

• Any replacement component, lubricant and / or

fuel (the ‘Parts’) or consumable items supplied

(except where Aston Martin has provided or paid

for such Parts)

• Any extension of the Services which you are entitled

to receive in connection with this Agreement (which
