Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Aston Martin Vantage Manual

Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) is a function of ESP and is used
to prevent excessive wheel spin at standing starts, or during
acceleration. Wheel spin is usually caused by excessive use of the
accelerator pedal, or slippery, loose or bumpy road surfaces.
Warning: It is always the drivers responsibility to drive
safely according to the law and with due regard to prevailing
conditions.
Warning: Traction control cannot overcome the
consequences of applying too much engine power for
conditions, and must never let the driver be tempted into
taking risks which could affect their safety or that of other
road users.
To prevent wheel spin and maintain vehicle stability in such
situations, the traction control system will:
• Brake either of the driven wheels when they start to slip.
• Adapt the engine torque to a level corresponding to the
traction available on the road surface.
These symptoms are normal and will clear as wheel spin is
eliminated and normal engine power is restored.
If cruise control is on it will automatically go OFF when ESP is
operating.
If traction control operates when driving on extended icy or
slippery surfaces, reduce engine power as necessary until the ESP
warning symbol goes OFF.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning: Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Over-
inflation and under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Warning: The TPMS is not a substitute for correct tyre
maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tyre pressures, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to set the TPMS tyre pressure indicator
symbol to ON.
A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is installed as a safety
feature. This system will display the tyre pressures for each tyre
and provide warnings if pressure is below a specified pressure for
each tyre.
Each tyre should be checked at least once every two weeks when
cold, and inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer (Refer to 'Wheel and Tyre Information', page
12.14)or on the tyre pressure label. If your vehicle has tyres of a
different size than the size indicated on the tyre pressure label,
you should determine the proper tyre pressure for those tyres.
