Your vehicle should always be recovered on a vehicle

transporter₁and should only be towed for short distances, for

example, if it is causing an obstruction or if it requires winching

onto a transporter.

The recommended method for a recovering vehicle is to have it

transported in a purpose built, covered, vehicle transporter.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.51

If moving the vehicle in such a situation:

1. Remove the tow eye from its storage location in the vehicle

tool kit (located in the spare wheel well). Insert the tow eye

carefully through the grill and install to the exposed female

threads in the front (A) or rear (B) until fully engaged against

the vehicle body₁.

The tow eye has a left hand thread.

Protect vehicle paint work when installing the tow eye.

2. When being towed use the footbrake very gently when

required, to prevent excessive slack in the tow rope.

There is a cover for the rear tow eye hole.

Jump Start Procedure

Parklock

If the vehicle fails to start or has broken down, the automatic

transmission will move into P (Park) to prevent unintended

vehicle movement. The parklock will not release. Call Aston

Martin Assistance.

Caution: Remove rings, metal watch bands and any other

jewellery.

Caution: Set all electrical motors and ancillaries in both

vehicles to OFF.

Jump Start From Another Vehicle

Caution: Set all lamps to OFF except those needed to

protect vehicles or illuminate the work area.

Warning: The donor vehicle must have a 12 volt battery

and a negative (-) earth terminal to make sure that the

correct battery polarity is maintained.

Recharge time will depend on the initial ‘state of health’ of

the discharged battery.

Caution: Apart from vehicle recovery, this vehicle must

not be driven if the vehicle battery is incapable of starting the

engine. In this case the vehicle battery must be replaced.

If the vehicle still will not start, contact your Aston Martin

Dealer.

1. Position the donor vehicle so that the connecting cables will

reach into the recipient engine bay. Apply the park brake

and leave the engine running.

2. Remove the cover for the jump start terminal (A).

3. Connect the positive cable between the positive terminal of

the donor battery and the positive (+) jump point (A) on the

main power feed.

Caution: If the voltage or earth of the donor vehicle is

different or not known, do not attempt starting in the way

described.

If this vehicle will not start due to a discharged battery, it may be

started, for vehicle recovery, by connecting the battery from

another vehicle (donor) to this vehicle (recipient).

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.53

4. Connect the negative cable between the negative terminal 6. Switch the donor vehicle off.

of the donor battery and the negative (-) stud (B).

7. Start the engine of the recipient vehicle.

8. Leave the jump start cables attached and the engines

running for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the battery to charge.

9. Remove the jump start cables, first the negative cable from

both vehicles and then the positive cable from both

vehicles.

Allow the recipient engine to run until the discharged

battery is sufficiently charged (15 to 20 minutes) to start the

engine without assistance. Set the engine to OFF and restart

the engine. Take the vehicle on a long run to fully charge

the battery.

Contact your Aston Martin Dealer to have the battery

checked or replaced.

5. Start the donor vehicle engine and increase the engine

speed and run at about 1500 – 2000 rpm for two minutes₁.

The donor vehicle must be set to OFF. If the donor vehicle is

not set to OFF the recipient vehicle will not start.

Charge time can depend on the battery state of the donor vehicle.

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.

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.

11.58 Maintenance and Technical Data

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.
