Battery Protection Mode - Aston Martin Vantage S 2016 Owner's Manual

Battery Protection Mode

Replace the battery as soon as possible, if the battery is not
capable of starting the engine.
Using the vehicle electrical systems, i.e. the infotainment system, with
the vehicle key at position 'I' (ignition OFF) will drain the battery
charge. Eventually the battery will drain to such a low level that it will
not start the engine.
To avoid this happening, a series of safety mechanisms shut down
non-essential electrical systems before excessive battery drain takes
place.
