Brake Warnings
Warning: If the brake warning symbol comes
ON, you should immediately be prepared for
possible increased stopping distances and possible
partial failure of the braking system.
While driving, if the brake warning symbol
comes ON, it shows either that:
• The park brake is not fully released
• The brake pads require regular maintenance
• The brake fluid level has fallen below an acceptable
level

stopped working.
A warning message will show in the message

Stop, as soon as possible in a safe and convenient

brake is fully released. If the park brake is fully released
and the warning symbol stays ON, do not drive the
vehicle. Contact the nearest Aston Martin Dealer. It is
essential that the brake system is checked immediately,
preferably by an Aston Martin Dealer.
