Windscreen Blade Replacement; Brake Pad 'Bedding-In - Aston Martin DB9 2006 Manual

Windscreen Blade Replacement

To replace the windscreen wiper blades the wiper arms must
be set at 90° to the vehicle (A).
1. While holding in buttons 8 and 9 (infotainment keypad)
turn the ignition key from position 'O' to position 'II'.
This will manoeuvre the wiper blade arms to the 90°
position. Return the ignition key to position 'O'.
2. Lift the wiper arm(s) up and remove the worn wiper
blade(s). Install the new wiper blade(s) and lower the
wiper arm(s).
3. After replacing the wiper blade either:
• Turn the ignition key back through to position 'II' to
lower the wiper arms. Return the ignition key to
position 'O' or remove.
• Operate the wiper stalk - the wiper arms will complete
the request and then park.

Brake Pad 'Bedding-in'

Failure to 'bed-in' new brake pads will result in reduced
brake performance and possible brake judder or squeal.
After the installation of new brake pads, brake performance
will be limited, as the brake discs and pads need to be
'Bedded-in'. For the first 400 km (250 mile) of new brake
pad use, avoid excessive braking (hard stops from high speed,
alpine descents, etc.).
