Climate Control Operating Tips - Aston Martin DB11 Owner's Handbook Manual

Climate Control Operating Tips

• 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.
• Set the climate system to off when in a car wash or if the
vehicle is being pressure washed.
• Air conditioning may not function when the outside
temperature approaches -6°C (21°F) (indicator stays on even
when system is off).
• Windows can fog up easily in humid weather. Use the climate
control system to demist the windows.
• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the hood
and the air inlet below the windscreen to improve the system
efficiency.

Climate Control
• Use the 'outside air' position in normal conditions. The 're-
circulated 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 operate the climate control system.
• Operate 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.
• Mist may come out from the vents when using the air
conditioning. This is humid air being suddenly cooled and not
a sign of a malfunction.
