[10] SEAT HEATING/COOLING:

Warning: Re-circulated air can cause the interior

glass to mist up in cold or rainy weather. If demisting is

required, use the air conditioning.

Warning: Do not press the seat heater switch repeatedly.

This can cause the seat to become very hot and can cause

burn injuries to persons with limited sensitivity to

temperature changes.

Controls the source of air entering the vehicle. Press to select re-

circulated air (button LED ON). Press and hold for more than two

Climate Control Operating Tips

• Moisture which forms on the evaporator in the air

conditioning unit is discharged via a drain tube onto the road.

After stopping, small puddles of water may form underneath

the vehicle. This is normal and does not show a system

malfunction.

• Set the climate system to off when in a car wash or if the

vehicle is being pressure washed.

• Air conditioning may not function when the outside

temperature approaches -6°C (21°F) (indicator stays on even

when system is off).

• Use the ‘outside air’ position in normal conditions. The ‘re-

circulated air’ position should be used temporarily when

driving on dusty roads or for quick cooling or heating of the

interior.

• If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot

weather, open the windows to let warm air escape, then close

the windows and operate the climate control system.

• Operate the climate control system at least once a month to

keep internal parts lubricated.

• Have the climate control system checked before the weather

gets hot. If the climate control system is low on refrigerant or

has a malfunction, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

• Windows can fog up easily in humid weather. Use the climate

control system to demist the windows.

• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the hood • Mist may come out from the vents when using the air

and the air inlet below the windscreen to improve the system

efficiency.

conditioning. This is humid air being suddenly cooled and not

a sign of a malfunction.
