Battery Protection Mode - Aston Martin One-77 2010 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 nonessential electrical systems before
excessive battery drain takes place.
FAQ
What is the first sign of battery protection mode?
Two messages will show:
• WARNING - LOW BATTERY (For 10 seconds) will
show in the infotainment display (if raised).
• LOW BATTERY will show in the message centre
left.
What should I do next?
Set all unnecessary electrical systems to OFF to reduce
battery drain. Start the engine to recharge the battery.
Run the engine for a reasonable length of time.
What happens if I ignore the warning messages?
After approximately two to ten minutes (dependent on
the rate of battery charge drain) the following messages
will show:
• INFOTAINMENT WILL BE SHUT DOWN 2
MINUTES (For 10 seconds) will show in the
infotainment display (if raised).
• LOW BATTERY POWER SAVE will show in the
message centre left.
If the audio system is ON the sound will mute for
10 seconds and a short 'Beep' will be heard when the
message is first shown.
What should I do if these messages are shown?
Set all unnecessary electrical systems to OFF. Start the
engine to recharge the battery. Run the engine for a
reasonable length of time.
What happens if I ignore second warning messages?
The infotainment system will shut down in two
minutes. No other electrical system will be shut down.
This significantly reduces the rate of battery drain. The
following functionality will be lost:
• CD Player
• Navigation System
• Radio Tuner
