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).

circulated air’ position should be used temporarily when
driving on dusty roads or for quick cooling or heating of the
interior.

weather, open the windows to let warm air escape, then close
the windows and operate the climate control system.

keep internal parts lubricated.

gets hot. If the climate control system is low on refrigerant or
has a malfunction, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

control system to demist the windows.
