Vehicle Storage - Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Storage

Recommendations
These recommendations apply to new and pre-
owned vehicles either in dealer or customer
ownership.
If your vehicle is not to be used for periods in excess of
three months it should be stored in a dry, well
ventilated building.
1. Drive the vehicle for a sufficient distance to warm
the oil in the engine and the transaxle; make sure
that the internal components of the engine are
lubricated.
2. Check the engine coolant level. Top up if
necessary with the correct antifreeze and water
solution.
3. In order to take the weight off the tyres, raise the
vehicle with a jack and place supports under the
front and rear suspension. If the vehicle is not
raised from the ground, increase the tyre
pressures to 3.4 bar. Cover the tyres to exclude
any light. Turn the wheels ¼ turn every month to
avoid tyre flat spots.
4. If mains power is available, use a battery
conditioner to maintain the battery in a fully
charged state.
5. Once a month:
5.1 Disconnect the battery conditioner (if
installed).
5.2 Start and operate the engine until it is fully
warmed up.
5.3 Check there are no fluid leaks.
5.4 Set the ignition to OFF.
5.5 Connect a battery conditioner.
5.6 Check and correct tyre pressures if necessary.
When returning the vehicle to normal
service, set the tyre pressures to normal
specification before driving on the road.
Extended Storage
For storage periods exceeding six months the following
measures are recommended:
Do Not Drain Fuel System.
1. Operate the engine until there is as small a
quantity of fuel in the tank as is practical for
storage purposes.
