Catalytic Converters; Front And Rear Parking Assist - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

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.

Front and Rear Parking Assist

(if installed on your vehicle)
Warning: Front and Rear 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.
The rear sensors are not ON when Neutral is selected,
therefore care should be taken if moving the vehicle as the tone
will not sound.
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 in (200 mm).
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive materials.
The parking assist system provides an audible warning, when driving
forwards or rearwards, if objects are detected within range of the
vehicle.
Operation
If, for example, you are driving within a confined space such
as a home garage, the outer sensors will detect the side walls and
after three seconds the tone will stop. However, as movement
continues, the inner sensors will eventually detect the rear wall
and will start the tone again.
