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.

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.

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

• Tire condition

• Coolant level

• Brake fluid level

• Air conditioning operation

• Windscreen washer fluid level

• Check operation of windscreen washers.
