Introduction - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

Introduction

Each item in the Service Schedules must be performed on time as
failure to do so may void the New Vehicle Warranty or other
warranties. It is the owner's responsibility to see that the vehicle is
maintained properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's
service schedules.
Due to the sophistication of the various systems and the specialised
equipment required to maintain this vehicle, owner maintenance
should be restricted to the routine procedures described in this
Owner's Guide. If you think that this vehicle is not functioning
properly, please return it to an Aston Martin Dealer to be checked
professionally.
11.2
Restraint Systems
Aston Martin recommend that the inflatable (airbags) restraint
systems and seat belt components installed to this vehicle are
replaced at 10 (ten) year intervals from the date of manufacture on
the certification label.
Electronic Fuel Injection
Warning: If the fuel system is allowed to run dry irreparable
damage to the fuel pumps may occur.
Warning: Any modifications or additions to the fuel system
not specifically designed by Aston Martin are prohibited. If
carried out, they may cause damage to the fuel system which in
some circumstances could result in fire. All Service Action
Campaigns must be undertaken by an Aston Martin Dealer.
The electronic fuel injection system requires special equipment and
test facilities to set up and maintain so that the vehicle gives
maximum performance coupled with economy, reliability and safe
vehicle emissions. You are, therefore, strongly advised to entrust all
service work to an Aston Martin Dealer.
Parts and Lubricants
When undertaking a servicing task only parts, materials, lubricants,
etc. that are specifically recommended by Aston Martin should be
used. Failure to do so can result in damage to your vehicle and may
invalidate your New Vehicle Warranty or other warranties (Refer to
'Warranty', page C.1).
