Operating Tips - Aston Martin DB9 2006 Manual

Operating Tips

• A solar sensor is installed on top of the instrument panel,
this should not be covered when driving
• The intake grille of the in-car temperature sensor is located
in the driver's knee bolster, close to the centre console. To
ensure optimum temperature control this grille should not
be obstructed
• 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
indicate a system malfunction
• Operate the climate control system with the engine
running
7.2
• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the
bonnet and the air inlet in the front grille to improve the
system efficiency
• Windows may fog up easily in humid weather. Use the
climate control system to demist the windows
• To help demist the windows, operate the air conditioner to
dehumidify the air
• Use the 'outside air' position in normal conditions. The
'recirculated air' position should be used temporarily when
driving on dusty roads or for quick cooling / 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 run the climate control system
• Run 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
• The vehicle is equipped with a pollen filter. It is necessary
to change the filter periodically as indicated in scheduled
maintenance. Consult your Aston Martin Dealer
