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.
Engine Oil Level
It is important to check the engine oil level regularly. Running
the engine with engine oil below the lower mark or above the
upper mark can cause serious engine damage.
Check the engine oil level every fourth fuel tank fill or weekly - which
ever is the sooner.

Catalytic Converters

Warning: Do not park over dry grass, leaves or other
combustible material. Significant fire risk exists because of
residual heat in the catalytic converters.
Warning: Do not drive through deep water. Rapid cooling of
catalysts may cause them to break up.
Catalytic convertors 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.
Leaded fuel will cause irreparable damage to catalytic converters. If
leaded fuel is inadvertently added to the fuel tank do not start the
engine, do not drive the vehicle. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer
immediately.

Parking Assist

Warning: Parking assist does not replace need for total
vigilance and caution when parking or reversing.
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 vigilant when reversing.
Do not turn and hold the steering on full lock for any more
than 10 seconds. If the steering is held on full lock for more than
10 seconds the power steering pump can fail.
The rear sensors are not ON when neutral is selected,
therefore care should be taken if moving the vehicle as the
warning sound will not be heard.
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp objects.
For reliable operation, the sensors in the front and rear bumpers
should be kept free from ice, frost and grime.
When using a high pressure spray the sensors should only be
sprayed briefly and not from a distance of less than 8 inches. Do not
clean the sensors with abrasive materials.
