Get Maintenance and Technical Data Guide for Aston Martin Dbx SUV 2020

Introduction

Due to the sophistication of the various systems and the

specialised equipment required to maintain this vehicle, owner

maintenance should be restricted to the routine procedures

described in this chapter.

Parts and Lubricants

Aston Martin recommends that when performing a servicing task,

the recommended lubricants (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’, page

11.12) and parts are used.

If you think that this vehicle is not functioning correctly, please

contact an Aston Martin Dealer for the vehicle to be

professionally checked.

Caution: If oils or lubricants are used which do not meet

the required fluid specification, vehicle components may

experience excessive wear, a build-up of sludge and deposits

or cause increased pollution. If it is evident to Aston Martin

that use of products other than those which are

recommended by the manufacturer have caused damage to

the vehicle or engine, Aston Martin may refuse to authorize

the repair of such damage under the terms of the

manufacturer’s warranty.

11.2 Maintenance and Technical Data

Servicing Precautions

To avoid personal injury, the following safety precautions must be

observed when the hood is open and the engine is operating or

the ignition is on.

Electronic Fuel Injection

Warning: If the fuel system is allowed to run dry, the fuel

pump(s) can be permanently damaged.

Warning: Protect yourself against dangerous substances.

Warning: Any modifications or additions to the fuel

system not specifically designed by Aston Martin are

prohibited. If installed, they can cause damage to the fuel

system which, in some circumstances, could cause fire. All

Service Action and Safety Recall Actions must be undertaken

by an Aston Martin Dealer.

Warning: Keep hands, hair, tools, items of clothing and

jewellery clear of all drive belts, pulleys and operating

mechanisms. The cooling fan may operate even though the

engine is not operating.

Warning: Avoid skin contact with all exhaust system and

also be removed before working on a vehicle, especially

work on the electrical system.

Restraint Systems

Aston Martin recommend that the inflatable restraint systems

(airbags) and seat belt components installed to this vehicle are

replaced at 10 year intervals from the date of manufacture on the

certification label.

Warning: Catalytic converters convert harmful exhaust

gasses into less noxious substances and so reduce

environmental pollution. They operate at high temperatures

and continue to radiate a considerable amount of heat after

the ignition has been set to off.

Emission Warranty

The emission control systems installed to vehicles for certain

markets are covered by a separate warranty. A statement of the

provisions is given in the Warranty section of this Owner’s Guide.

You are advised to familiarize yourself with all warranty

conditions at the earliest opportunity after taking delivery of your

vehicle.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.3

Dangerous Substances

Warning: Do not breathe exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes

contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous

gas, which is colourless and odourless and can cause

unconsciousness and may be fatal. Never start or leave the

engine running in an enclosed, unventilated area.

Warning: Dangerous substances should be kept out of

reach of children.

Warning: Many liquids and other substances used in

motor vehicles are poisonous and should under no

circumstances be consumed and should, so far as possible,

be kept from contact with the skin. These substances include

battery electrolyte, antifreeze, oil, brake and clutch fluid,

petrol, windscreen washer additives, lubricants, refrigerant

and various adhesives.

Warning: Do not work beneath the vehicle with a vehicle

lifting jack as the only support. Place suitable stands under

the vehicle.

Warning: Keep children and pets clear of the vehicle. Do

not let anyone inside the vehicle unless specifically working

to your instructions.

Warning: Particular care should be taken to avoid

unnecessary contact with used engine oil. Always read

carefully the instructions printed on labels or stamped on

components and follow them carefully. Such instructions are

included for reasons of your health and personal safety.

Never disregard them.

Warning: Whenever possible, work in the engine

compartment with the engine cool, the ignition off and the

vehicle battery disconnected.

Warning: Petrol is highly flammable and, in confined

spaces, is also explosive and toxic. In the event of spillage,

set the engine to off. Do not use a flame or spark near fuel or

fuel vapour. Do not smoke near fuel or fuel vapour. Do not

inhale fuel vapour or fumes.

11.4 Maintenance and Technical Data

Owner Maintenance Checks

In the interests of safety and reliability, it is advisable to carry out

the following checks at the intervals suggested (more frequently if

your vehicle is heavily used or operating in adverse conditions),

and always before starting on a long journey. Refer to the

following pages for advice and check procedures.

Engine Oils

Warning: Prolonged and repeated contact with used

engine oils can cause serious skin disorders, including

dermatitis and cancer. Avoid excessive contact, wash

thoroughly after contact. Keep out of reach of children.

When your oil is changed, be sure that it is done by an

experienced person. In addition, observe all laws regarding

the disposal of waste oil and toxic fluids.

Before Use Check:

• Operation of lamps, horn, indicators, wipers, washers and

warning symbols

• Check there is sufficient fuel for the intended journey,

particularly at night and before entering motorways

• Operation of the seat belts

• Operation of the brakes

• Check for fluid deposits underneath the vehicle.

Protect The Environment

Warning: It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses, or

soil. Use authorized waste disposal facilities, including civic

amenity sites and garages providing facilities for receipt of

used oil. If in doubt, contact your local authority for advice.

Weekly Checks

(daily if driving large distances or touring)

• Tire condition

• Coolant level

• Brake fluid level

• Air conditioning operation

• Windscreen washer fluid level

• Check operation of windscreen washers.

Fuel Filler Bowl

During fuel filling check that the fuel filler bowl drain pipe is free

Fluid Checks and Capacities

Engine Oil Level Sensing

Engine Oil Level

This vehicle has an electronic engine Oil Level Sensing (OLS)

system which records the engine oil level every vehicle start if the

vehicle has been left for 4 or more hours, if the vehicle is on level

ground, and if it is within a pre-set oil temperature range.

Warning: Engine oil or components may be hot and could

cause severe burns.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the

lower mark or above the upper mark can cause serious

engine damage.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the

minimum level can cause serious engine damage.

Caution: This vehicle's warranty may be invalidated if

damage is caused by the use of incorrect engine oil. Low

quality or obsolete oils do NOT give the protection required

by modern, high performance engines.

The system may not record an oil level if the engine oil

temperature is low.

If the engine oil level is approaching the minimum mark, a

message will be shown in the instrument cluster along with a

warning symbol. A code will also be stored in the engine

management system. The engine oil level should be checked and

filled to the required level engine oil as soon as possible. The

message will clear when the oil level is filled with a least 1 litre to

the required level and the OLS system has performed a valid

check of the oil level.

Caution: Failure to use engine oil that meets the required

specification can cause excessive engine wear, a build up of

sludge and deposits, and increased pollution. It could also

lead to engine failure (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’, page

11.12).

Tire Pressures

Tire Information

Make sure that correct tire pressures are carefully maintained.

Road holding, steering, braking and tire wear are especially

vulnerable to incorrect tire pressures.

Tires of the correct type, manufacturer and dimensions, with

correct cold inflation pressures are an integral part of every

vehicle’s design. Regular maintenance of tires contributes not

only to safety, but to the designed function of the vehicle.

Check tire pressures regularly and before starting any journey,

and adjust accordingly.

Road holding, steering and braking are especially vulnerable to

incorrectly pressurized, badly installed or worn tires.

Tire pressures increase slightly when the tires are hot. For an

accurate reading, tire pressures should be checked when the tires

are cold. After adjusting the tire pressures, make sure that the

valve caps are securely replaced to provide an additional air seal

and to prevent the ingress of dirt.

Tires of the correct size and type, but made by different

manufacturers can have widely varying characteristics.

Damage

Because of the high performance potential of this vehicle,

Aston Martin strongly recommend replacement of any damaged

or worn tire.

Wheel Bolt Torque

For wheel bolt torque (Refer to ’Wheel Bolt Torque’, page

11.59).

Tires should be examined at regular intervals for wear and

damage. Inspect the tire treads and sidewalls for damage, i.e.

bulges in the tread or the sidewalls, cracks in the tread groove and

separation in the tread or the sidewalls. If damage is observed or

suspected have the tire inspected by a tire professional.

Wheel Alignment

For the most up to date wheel alignment values, contact your

Aston Martin dealer

Stones or other objects which have become lodged in the tire

treads should be carefully removed.

11.16 Maintenance and Technical Data

Flat Spots

Running-In New Tires

It is a characteristic of high performance tires that temporary ’flat When new tires have been installed, speed should be limited,

spots’ may develop if the vehicle is left standing in high or low

ambient temperatures for any length of time.

particularly during the first 80 km or so of driving. Fast cornering,

hard braking, and harsh acceleration should also be avoided

during this period.

These ’flat spots’ will manifest themselves as minor vibrations

when the vehicle is first driven from cold. As the tires warm up to Tread Wear Marks

operating temperature, normal tire shape should be restored and

the vibrations cease. If vibrations persist, consult your

Tread wear marks (A) are incorporated into the construction of all

tires. These marks are integral moulded ribs spaced at regular

intervals around the circumference of the tire and extend across

the full width of the tread, in all primary grooves.

Aston Martin Dealer.

Age

Local regulations on tire life may apply.

Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It is

recommended that tires generally be replaced after six years of

normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high

loading conditions can accelerate the aging process.

New Tires

Each wheel and tire unit must be balanced dynamically and

measured for Radial Force Variation (RFV) to make sure of

efficient steering, optimum tire wear and maximum ride comfort.

Because of the potentially high speeds, it is essential that wheel

balancing is carried out when new tires are installed. Contact

your Aston Martin Dealer for more information.

When a tire has worn causing one or more of the marks to be

flush with the outer face of the tread the tire has reached its wear

limit. It then becomes illegal in certain countries and must be

replaced.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.17

Summer Tires

Winter Tires

Summer tires should be used if the highest level of dynamic

performance is required and are best used for temperatures

Winter tires are designed for use in temperatures between -35°C

and +10°C. These tires have tread pattern and rubber

greater than 10°C. If the vehicle is used in temperatures below compound that has been developed to maximise traction on

this for extended periods of time, then All-Season or Winter tires snow and asphalt at low temperatures. This does mean that

should be considered.

winter tires have a lower maximum speed rating of 240 km/h

(150 mph). In some countries it is a legal requirement to display

an appropriate speed limit warning sticker or use the winter tire

speed limit function (Refer to ’Vehicle Settings’, page 10.4).

The tires are also of different sizes on the front and rear axles,

therefore complete wheels cannot be swapped between axles.

All Season Tires

Snow Traction Devices

All-Season tires are best used in temperatures between -10°C and

+15°C. These tires are suitable for mild off-road use as well as on

road use and an optimal tire for use in Terrain and Terrain+

modes. All-Season tires do have some winter driving capability,

but for improved traction on snow winter tires are

recommended.

Warning: The maximum speed when using snow traction

devices is 48 km/h. Remove the snow traction devices

immediately when the roads are clear of snow.

These are for temporary use when driving in heavy snow

conditions. Snow traction devices should only be installed to the

rear wheels. For more information regarding the correct snow

traction device to fit to your vehicle, contact your Aston Martin

Dealer.

US Department of Transportation

Temperature

Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is

established for a tire that is properly inflated and not

overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive

loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat

buildup and possible tire failure.

Uniform Tire Quality Grades

The following information relates to the tire grading system

developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, which grades tires by tread wear, traction and

temperature performance. All passenger vehicle tires must

conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these

grades.

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,

representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its

ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions

on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high

temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and

reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden

tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance

which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor

Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels

of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum

required by law.

Tread Wear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear

rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a

specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150

would wear one and one-half (1½) times as well on the

government course as a tire graded 100. The relative

performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their

use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to

variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in

road characteristics and climate

Traction

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based

on straight-ahead braking traction tests and does not include

acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction

characteristics.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.

The grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as

measured under controlled conditions on specified government

test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have

poor traction performance.

11.24 Maintenance and Technical Data

Determining the Correct Load Limit

Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure

1. Locate the statement ‘The combined weight of occupants

and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lb’ on the

vehicle’s tire label.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and

passengers that will be riding in the vehicle.

The maximum permissible inflation pressure is the tire

manufacturer’s maximum permissible pressure and / or the

pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.

This pressure is normally higher than the manufacturer’s

recommended cold inflation pressure which can be found on the

Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers

from XXX kg or XXX lb.

The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the

recommended pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification

Label or Tire Label.

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo

and luggage load capacity. For example, if the ‘XXX’ amount

equals 1250 lb and there will be four 150 lb passengers in

the vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load

capacity is 650lb (1250–600 (4x150) = 650 lb).

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being

loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed

the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in

Step 4.

The recommended cold inflation tire pressures for this vehicle

can also be found in this handbook.

each tire providing information about the tire brand and

manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manufacture. Also

referred to as DOT code.

Warning: Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph. The

tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and

safety.

Inflation Pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire.

Standard Load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to

carry a maximum load at 35psi [37psi (2.5bar) for Metric tires].

Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not

increase the tire’s load carrying capability.

• Observe posted speed limits.

• Avoid fast starts, stops and turns.

• Avoid potholes and objects on the road.

• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when

parking.

Extra Load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a

heavier maximum load at 41psi [43psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires].

Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not

increase the tire’s load carrying capability.

Highway Hazards

No matter how carefully you drive there’s always the possibility

that you may eventually have a flat tire on the highway. Drive

slowly to the closest safe area out of traffic. This may further

damage the flat tire, but your safety is more important. If you feel

a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving, or you

suspect your tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately

reduce your speed. Drive with caution until you can safely pull

off the road. Stop and inspect the tires for damage. If a tire is

under-inflated or damaged, deflate it, remove the wheel and

replace it with your spare tire and wheel. If you can not detect a

cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest repair facility or tire

dealer to have the vehicle inspected.

kPa: Kilo pascal, a metric unit of air pressure.

PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure.

11.26 Maintenance and Technical Data

Electrical Systems

Cold Inflation Pressure: The tire pressure when the vehicle has

been stationary and out of direct sun light for an hour or more

and prior to the vehicle being driven for 1 mile (1.6km).

Fuses

The electrical systems are protected by fuses. If any lamps,

accessories, or controls do not function, inspect the applicable

fuse.

Recommended Inflation Pressure: The cold inflation pressure

found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label

(found on the edge of the driver’s door).

If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted. If the same

fuse blows again, avoid using that system and consult your Aston

Martin Dealer as soon as possible.

Bead Area of the Tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.

Sidewall of the Tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.

Tread Area of the Tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that

contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle.

Battery Level Protection

Vehicle Battery Disposal

The incorrect disposal of a vehicle battery can be extremely

hazardous to health and the environment. Most batteries contain

materials that, when disposed of incorrectly, may leak into the

environment. This can contribute to soil and water pollution and

endanger wildlife.

Caution: If the battery is not capable of starting the engine,

replace the battery as soon as possible.

Using vehicle electrical systems such as the infotainment system,

with the ignition ON, but the engine OFF, will drain the battery

charge.

Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.

To prevent battery voltage falling below the level required to start

the vehicle, the vehicle's battery monitoring system will shut

down non-essential electrical systems before this happens.

Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your

local authorized recycling centre to find out more about recycling

automotive batteries. Do not dispose of your vehicle battery in

the household waste.

After approximately 2 to 10 minutes (dependent on the rate of

battery charge drain) a message is shown in the infotainment

display.

If a low battery warning message shows, start the engine and let

it idle so the battery can recharge₁, or connect a suitable battery

charger or conditioner.

If driving the vehicle to recharge the battery, a journey distance of

1.

approximately 30 miles or 48 km will be sufficient to recharge the

battery.

11.38 Maintenance and Technical Data

The battery conditioner uses a magnetic disc to attach to the

charger socket (A). To connect the battery conditioner, attach the

charger plug onto the charger socket.

Battery Conditioner

(Optional)

Caution: Do not attempt to start the vehicle with a battery

conditioner connected to the mains supply.

If necessary, clean the charger socket before connecting the

charger plug.

The Aston Martin battery conditioner is suitable for use on all

types of 12 volt AGM and lead acid batteries.

If this vehicle is not going to be used for a period of time, and

mains power is available, use a battery conditioner to maintain

the battery charge level. When connected the battery

conditioner will maintain a small trickle charge to keep the

battery in a fully charged state. A battery conditioner is designed

for conditioning of partially or fully charged batteries. It will not

effectively charge a discharged battery.

For further safety information and operating instructions, refer

to the instructions supplied with the battery conditioner.

The lamp units are not repairable. If a lamp or lamp unit fails

contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Internal Lamps

Caution: Commercially operated automatic vehicle

washes, jet washes and power operated mops are not

recommended. The detergents used can contain certain

chemicals which may, over time, be detrimental to some

exterior parts of the vehicle. Prolonged usage of automatic

vehicle washes and power operated mops will also cause fine

scratches in the paint surface.

All internal lamps are LEDs and are not repairable.

If an LED lamp fails contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Aston Martin are able to supply a range of products to clean and

protect your vehicle. Contact you Aston Martin Dealer for further

information.

During the winter months, it is advisable to wash the vehicle

more frequently, paying particular attention to the underside to

combat the detrimental effects of any salt and sand

contamination picked up from treated roads.

To delay the onset of corrosion developing on the brake

components, Aston Martin recommend that after washing this

vehicle, the vehicle should be driven a short distance to make

sure that all water and cleaning products have dried off.

11.40 Maintenance and Technical Data

For best results:

Paint Work

• Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunlight. Let the vehicle

cool before washing.

• Do not use household soaps or detergents.

• Do not direct water hoses at full force around the door and

trunk lid seals.

Modern water based paints are much safer and more

environmentally friendly than solvent based paints. Water based

paints are however more susceptible to contamination and

marking by corrosive substances. The following list is not

exhaustive but does show the most common contaminants which

may adversely affect your paint work:

• Do not use a brush on the car body as this will leave little

scratches.

• Bird droppings,

• Antifreeze,

Suggested washing method:

• Tree sap,

• Oils and greases,

• Insect remains.

1. Fill two buckets with water. Add a mild neutral detergent, as

directed by the detergent manufacturer to one of the

buckets.

Wash such substances from the vehicle using clean warm water

with vehicle shampoo at the earliest opportunity, especially in

sunny weather which can accelerate contamination.

2. Use a hose to remove all dust and mud residue from the

vehicle. Don't use a strong jet, as this can rub grit over the

paint and scratch it.

3. Soak a large clean wash mitt or a soft clean sponge in the

soapy water, and begin applying it to the vehicle. Wash the

vehicle section by section, starting at the top. Circle around

the car several times, washing lower areas with each round.

Rinse the dirt out of the wash mitt or soft sponge in the

bucket with plain water frequently.

4. After one section is washed, rinse it with the hose before

moving on, don't let the soap dry on the paint as this can

stain it. Always keep the vehicle wet, this will prevent

droplets from drying on the paint and leaving water-spots.

5. Dry the car with a chamois leather before it air-dries.

Other groups of contaminants may be added to this list as

experience of water based paints and finishes increases.

Satin Paint

(Optional)

The Aston Martin new car warranty covers defects in

materials or workmanship of the paint work. The warranty

does NOT cover repairs to your satin or matt paint work

caused by negligence, lack of or improper maintenance such

as waxing or polishing the finish, environmental influences,

or improper repairs or damage that causes the satin finish to

become glossy.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.41

In comparison to conventional paints with a gloss or metallic

surface, satin paint work must be cared for slightly differently. In

order to avoid damage to the satin paint work, make sure that the

cleaning and care points below are followed:

Off-Road Use

If this vehicle has been used to drive in off road environments

additional cleaning may be required, such as under the body to

make sure all mud, salt and other contaminants are removed.

1. Only use cleaning products recommended by Aston Martin. This will help protect the vehicle paintwork, under-body and

Abrasive cleaning products will change the satin appearance external components such as the parking sensors and trailer

of the paint and must not be used.

electrical connection points.

2. Do not polish or wax the paintwork. This can lead to

glossing of the paintwork.

3. Do not wash the car in an automatic car wash. This will

avoid particles such as sand and dust, from damaging the

painted surface.

4. Only use a soft sponge to clean the vehicle. Do not use

abrasive cleaning tools.

5. Remove insect remains, bird droppings, resins, tar spots,

fuels and oil immediately. Avoid strong rubbing while

cleaning the vehicle.

Alternator

Caution: Do not use a high pressure stream such as a

pressure washer to rinse the alternator. This can cause

internal damage to the alternator.

If the alternator is submerged in muddy water, it should be rinsed

with a hose or similar to remove any mud. Mud and salt residue

can corrode and damage the internal windings. The vehicle

should then be driven to dry the alternator.

Underbody Protection

The underbody of this vehicle is protected with sacrificial

protective panels. Consult your dealer for inspection and repair

as necessary, especially after sustained off-road use or if the

underside of the vehicle been damaged.

6. Any stickers applied to the paint work will leave a mark

when removed.

7. Repairs to the paint work must be completed by an Aston

Martin category A or B body shop.

solution only. Do not use chemical alloy road wheel cleaners, as

they can often have a high acid or alkaline content and could

cause discolouration. Always clean one wheel at a time and do

not allow the cleaning solution to dry on the wheel. Fully flush off

with clean water.

Cleaning materials which contain solvents, i.e. tar remover,

petrol, waxes or polishes, may damage the headlamp lens.

Under Hood Cleaning

Under hood cleaning using high pressure hoses or steam cleaners

should not be carried out. The electronic control module

connections and fuse boxes can be damaged by indiscriminate

use of high pressure cleaning equipment.

Polishing

Approximately twice a year, a good quality polish should be

applied to the body work and then buffed, using a soft lint free

cloth.

The alloy wheel rims should be treated with a cleaner which is

specifically manufactured for this purpose.

Bodywork Maintenance

Check the drain holes in the bottom face of each door

periodically and clear if necessary.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.43

Upholstery, Trim, Carpets and Seats

Alcantara®₁roof linings and other soft trimmed areas may be

brushed with a soft brush. Stains from water based substances

such as coffee, tea or soft drinks should be cleaned as soon as

possible with mild soap and water.

Warning: Fumes from cleaning solvents may be

dangerous in confined spaces. Make sure that the vehicle is

well ventilated and follow the manufacturer’s printed

instructions when using these products.

Consult your Aston Martin Dealer for instructions on the removal

of more difficult stains such as oil, grease or ballpoint ink.

Caution: Certain types of clothing, such as denim and

vegetable tanned leather, are prone to ‘dye transfer’. This can

cause discolouration in the leather. Make sure that the

affected areas are cleaned and re-protected as soon as

possible.

Carpets should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Any

stains or grease marks should be removed with a good quality

solvent suitable for use on carpets.

Care and Maintenance of Seat Belts

Caution: Do not allow seat belts to be retracted until they

are completely dry.

The seats and soft trimmed components of this vehicle are

covered in natural leather hide. In general, this natural leather

upholstery requires little attention. The seats should be brushed

with a soft brush from time to time and may be cleaned

occasionally with a cloth damped in soap and water.

To make sure that the restraint webbings are in correct working

order, regularly check the seat belts. Look for fraying, cuts, burns

and similar problems. Make sure that the latches and buckles

operate correctly. If a seat belt is not in good condition or is not

working correctly, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

Do not use detergents, quick cleansers or furniture polishes.

These products may initially give an impressive result, but their

use will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather and will

invalidate the warranty.

Any seat belt that has been worn during a serious collision should

be replaced by an Aston Martin Dealer.

Several times a year, a leather conditioner or preservative should

be used. Appropriate care materials are obtainable from your

Aston Martin Dealer.

To clean the seat belts, use mild soap and water; do not use

bleach, solvents or dyes, as they can weaken the material. Allow

the seat belts to dry thoroughly before use.

Use a soft microfibre cloth to remove dust and loose dirt from

open pore wood trim panels.

11.54 Maintenance and Technical Data

If this vehicle is to be raised using a vehicle jack make sure that

the following jacking points are used.

Vehicle Lifting

Warning: Make sure that no persons are in the vehicle

before the vehicle is lifted.

Warning: Make sure that the park brake is applied and

that the vehicle transmission is in P (Park).

Warning: Make sure that the vehicle is parked on firm

and level ground to give a secure base for the jack.

Warning: Do not lift the vehicle by placing a jack or other

lifting equipment under the suspension arms.

Warning: Do not use a jack or other lifting equipment

further inboard on the vehicle than the jacking points

shown.

Set the drive mode to Terrain+ before lifting the vehicle.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.55

To Change The Wheel

Spare Wheel

Warning: The wheel and tire assemblies for this vehicle

are heavy. You should have the help of a second person

when lifting and carrying the wheels.

Vehicle Jack Safety

In addition to the general safety guidelines on the previous page,

also take note of the below safety information when using the

vehicle jack.

Park off the road, clear of all traffic and on as level, solid ground

as possible. Switch on the hazard warning lights and, where

legally required, display the warning triangle.

Warning: Only use the vehicle jack on the approved

lifting points, make sure the head of the jack is correctly

seated before lifting the vehicle. Incorrect use of the jack can

cause the jack to slip and the vehicle to drop, which can

cause injury, death or damage the vehicle.

1. Remove the spare wheel and the vehicle toolkit from under

the luggage compartment floor.

2. Set the drive mode to Terrain+.

Make sure all doors and tailgate are closed before the vehicle

is lifted.

The vehicle jack is only intended to be used when the

spare wheel needs to be changed and not as a support.

Never work under the vehicle when it is only supported by

the vehicle jack.

3. Chock the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite to

the wheel being replaced.

4. Fully remove one of the wheel bolts.

Warning: Use the supplied wheel chocks to prevent the

vehicle wheels from rolling when the vehicle is lifted.

If a locking wheel bolt is installed, this should be removed

first.

11.56 Maintenance and Technical Data

5. Install the wheel alignment bolt where the wheel bolt was

removed.

9. Use the wheel brace to rotate to jack handle to lift the head

of the jack to the jacking point. Make sure the jack head is

correctly located into the jacking point.

10. Use the jack to lift the vehicle until the wheel is clear of the

ground, and allow some additional clearance for the

replacement wheel to be installed.

Warning: Do not raise the jack to its maximum height.

This can cause the vehicle to become unstable and there is a

risk it may fall off the jack. There is a risk of damage to the

vehicle, serious injury or death.

11. Remove the wheel bolts and the wheel.

Caution: Do not place the wheel face down. This will help

prevent damage to the wheel face.

6. Release the remainder of the wheels bolts ½ to 1 turn

(counter-clockwise).

7. Wind the jack handle so that the jack head is near the

height of the jacking points.

12. Make sure the temporary-use spare tire is inflated with the

supplied air compressor to the correct pressure before use.

The temporary-use spare tire is inflated to 4.2 Bar (61 Psi).

8. Put the jack into position below the jacking point.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.57

13. Install the spare wheel to the vehicle.

14. Install four of the wheel bolts.

Driving With A Spare Wheel

Warning: Do not drive at speeds of more than 80 km/h

(50 mph) with a temporary spare wheel installed. Avoid hard

acceleration and high speed cornering. The temporary spare

wheel is not designed to operate at high speeds and can fail

which can cause injury or death.

Make sure the wheel evenly contacts the wheel hub.

15. Remove the wheel alignment bolt.

16. Install and tighten the last wheel bolt.

17. Lower the vehicle.

Warning: Do not set the ESP to off with a temporary spare

wheel installed. The handling characteristics of the vehicle

will be changed and it is recommended to use ESP to help

retain control of the vehicle in sudden maneuvers.

18. Tighten the five wheel bolts to the correct torque value in

the sequence shown on the next page.

Warning: If the wheel brace is used to tighten the wheel

bolts, have the wheel bolt torque checked as soon as

possible. If you do not, there is a risk the wheel bolts may

come loose.

The temporary spare wheel is for emergency use only and the

original tire should be replaced as soon as possible.

Deflating the Spare Wheel

When the original tire has been replaced or repaired, the spare

wheel must be deflated before it can be returned to the spare

wheel storage area. To deflate the spare wheel, release the valve

on the tire.

Fuel

Wheel Bolt Torque

Fuel Filling

The fuel tank filler neck has a restricted opening which will

only accept the fuel supply nozzle of unleaded fuel pumps.

Caution: You must use an applicable plastic-sleeved

socket to remove, install, and tighten the wheel bolts. This

will help to prevent damage to the surface of the wheel.

Open the fuel flap by pressing down on the rear edge of the fuel

flap. If the filler flap will not open use the fuel filler flap

emergency release.

All wheel bolts must be tightened in two stages:

• Tighten every second wheel bolt (in the order shown) to 70

Nm (52 lb/ft) until all five bolts are tightened.

If a locking wheel bolt is installed, this should be installed last.

The fuel system will not let the fuel tank overfill but there will be

times when the fuel nozzle will shut OFF prematurely. If this

happens only try to fill the fuel tank one more time, continued

attempts will result in fuel spillage. Wait 10 seconds before

removing the refuelling nozzle.

• Tighten every second wheel bolt (in the order shown) to 175

Nm (130 lb/ft) until all five bolts are tightened.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.59

Fuel Filler Bowl

Fuel Filler Flap Emergency Release

To stop water gathering in the fuel filler bowl and flowing into the

fuel tank, the fuel filler bowl has a pipe to let the water drain from

the bowl. During fuel filling, check and make sure that any debris

which may block the pipe is removed.

Caution: The emergency release cable only unlocks the

fuel flap. It does not open the fuel flap. Do not pull too hard

on the emergency release cable. This can cause the

emergency release cable to snap.

Fuel Cut-Off

To manually unlock the fuel filler flap, pull the emergency release

(ER) tab in the luggage compartment. Open the fuel flap as

normal by pressing down on the rear edge of the fuel flap.

In the event of a vehicle accident the vehicle electronics will

enter crash mode. Power to the fuel pumps will stop, thereby

reducing fire risk.
