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

Climate Control Operating Tips

• Moisture which forms on the evaporator in the air
conditioning unit is discharged via a drain tube onto the road.
After stopping, small puddles of water may form underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not show a system
malfunction.
• Set the climate system to off when in a car wash or if the
vehicle is being pressure washed.
• Windows can fog up easily in humid weather. Use the climate
control system to demist the windows.
• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the
bonnet and the air inlet below the windscreen to improve the
system efficiency.
• Use the ‘outside air’ position in normal conditions. The ‘re-
circulated air’ position should be used temporarily when
driving on dusty roads or for quick cooling or heating of the
interior.
• Operate the climate control system at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
• Have the climate control system checked before the weather
gets hot. If the climate control system is low on refrigerant or
has a malfunction, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.
• Mist may come out from the vents when using the air
conditioning. This is humid air being suddenly cooled and not
a sign of a malfunction.

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