Roof Maintenance; Deployable Rollbars - Aston Martin DB 9 2013 Manual

Rear Quarter Windows
Depending on the reason why the roof fails,
the rear quarter windows may not raise when
raising the roof manually. When the roof has
been manually raised and locked, set the
ignition to ON and attempt to raise the rear
quarter windows by operating the roof close
switch.

Roof Maintenance

Do not use automatic vehicle washes. Brushes, detergents and
pressurized water jets may damage the roof fabric.
Do not use power washers. Jets of water may damage the
weather seals and the roof fabric.
Do not use spot cleaners, chemical diluents or any organic
cleaners. If in doubt, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
Do not leave the roof in the lowered (folded) position for
extended periods of vehicle storage. Permanent damage may
occur to the roof fabric.

Deployable Rollbars

Warning: Do not attempt to service or modify the deployable
rollbar system.
Warning: Do not allow any person to sit on the deployable
rollbar covers at any time.
Warning: Do not place any objects on the top of the
deployable rollbar covers.
Warning: Do not attempt to reset the deployable rollbar
system after it has deployed.
Warning: Do not attempt to raise or lower the roof after the
deployable rollbar system has deployed.
If the roof is raised the deployable rollbars will break through
the rear glass.
Extreme manoeuvres may cause the system to predict a roll
over and deploy the rollbars for protection of the occupants. If
such driving events are anticipated by the customer (e.g. Track
day driving) the roof should be fully lowered to let the rollbars to
deploy without damaging the vehicle.
