Driving Techniques - Aston Martin DB11 Owner's Handbook Manual

Driving Techniques

Procedures for driving this vehicle may be unfamiliar to many
new owners. To make sure that you have a safe and enjoyable
entry into this new phase of Aston Martin motoring, please take
time to safely acquire the necessary new driving skills. Practice in
safe, lower speed conditions before investigating the high
performance potential of the vehicle.
Driving behaviour, such as avoiding aggressive driving, travelling
at lower speeds, correctly inflating tires, reducing periods of idling
and not carrying excessive weight, will improve fuel consumption
and reduce CO2 emissions.

recommended to limit engine loads (e.g. by accelerating gently
and by using lower gears on steep hills or when negotiating tight
turns) during the first 1500 km/900miles.
