2. Drain the engine oil and the final drive unit, install a new engine
oil filter element, then fill the engine and the final drive unit
with approved oils. Check the coolant level and, if necessary,
top up with the correct antifreeze to water solution.
3. Check all fluid levels and top up as necessary. Fill the fuel tank.
Starting the engine without sufficient lubrication can cause
serious engine damage. Make sure that the engine oil pressure is
established before allowing the engine to start.
4. Obtain engine oil pressure:
4.1 Press and hold the accelerator hard to the floor (this
temporarily inhibits the fuel injection during cranking).
4.2 Fully press the brake (automatic) or clutch (manual) pedal
down. Insert the vehicle key into the Ignition Control and
move through to engine start. Allow the engine to crank
until the oil pressure symbol (in the instrument
cluster) goes OFF (oil pressure in the engine).
4.3 Set the ignition to OFF. Release the vehicle key and
accelerator pedal.
5. Start the engine normally and check that the oil pressure and
ignition warning symbols go OFF as the engine starts (correct oil
pressure and battery charging).
6. Raise the hood and check for leaks of fuel, oil and coolant.
7. Volante Only.
Check the operation of the Roof and check for oil leaks.
If the Roof does not operate correctly during first use, operate
the roof a few times (with the engine running to keep the
battery at full voltage). If the roof still does not operate correctly
contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
8. Carefully test drive your vehicle and check the operation of all
functions.
Braking performance can be impaired, initially, due to a fine film of
corrosion on the brake rotor surface. Drive conservatively and, when
safe to do so, frequently apply the brakes until rotor surfaces have
been cleaned. Full braking performance should then be restored.
If in any doubt about the condition of your vehicle, have it checked
by your Aston Martin Dealer.
