  • Page 84: The Braking Systems

    C - Driving The Braking Systems The Footbrake System Your DB AR1 uses a vacuum boosted hydraulic braking system with anti- lock (ABS) function. This system ensures braking performance in keeping with the vehicle performance. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is continually monitored for correct operation whilst the ignition is switched on.
  • Page 85 Aston Martin dealers are required to perform this routine each time brake pads / discs are replaced. Aston Martin require owners to perform this routine if pads or discs are replaced by a non-franchised workshop who will not know of the correct bedding in procedure.
  • Page 86 C - Driving Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) The anti-lock braking system (ABS) fitted to the DB AR1 helps prevent the road wheels from locking and skidding during emergency braking, helping steering and directional stability to be maintained. If, in an emergency braking situation, the braking force applied begins to exceed the tyre/road adhesion, the ABS system is activated to prevent the road wheels locking.
  • Page 87 C - Driving Brake Warning Indications During Driving Your DB AR1 electronic control units continue to monitor correct operation of the braking sub-systems while the vehicle is being driven. Two brake warning lights are of particular importance. The Anti Lock Braking (ABS) Warning Light The ABS system is monitored for correct operation while the ignition is switched on.
  • Page 88 C - Driving The Handbrake (Parking Brake) The handbrake lever is situated on the outside of the drivers seat. The handbrake operates on brake drums within the rear wheel brake discs. To engage the handbrake, pull up firmly on the lever without pressing the release button.

  • Page 97 D - Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning DEM (Demist) When this mode is selected heated air is directed to the windscreen vents for demisting as well as to the face level, footwell and door vents. Air speed and temperature depend upon the fan speed, in-car temperature selected and engine temperature.
  • Page 98 D - Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning Temperature Differential Control This control sets the difference in temperature between the air from the face vents and that from the footwell vents. To provide cooler air to the face, the differential control should be set fully anticlockwise. If the control is set fully clockwise, the air from the face vents will be at the same temperature as that from the footwell vents.
