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 switching the engine 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.

Rear Parking Assist

Warning
Rear parking assist does not replace need for total
vigilance and caution when parking or reversing.
Rear parking assist assists in detecting obstructions as the
vehicle is reversed towards them. The system is active when
reverse gear is selected. When the system is operating an
intermittent 'beep' signal will be heard. The 'beep' increases
in persistence as the vehicle reverses to an obstruction.
The 'beeps' start at approximately 5.5 ft. (1.7 m) from any
obstruction. The 'beep' becomes continuous at distances less
than 1 ft. (30 cm).
