Operating Tips; Control Switches - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 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-vehicle temperature sensor is located in
the driver's knee bolster, close to the centre console. To maintain
the optimum temperature 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 show a system malfunction
• Operate the climate control system with the engine running
• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the hood 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
7.2
• 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 or 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 shown in the scheduled
maintenance. Consult your Aston Martin Dealer
