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.
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.
Weekly Checks
(daily if driving large distances or touring)
- HV battery state of charge
- Tyre condition
- Engine coolant level
- ERS coolant level
- Battery coolant level
- Brake fluid level
- Air conditioning operation
- Windscreen washer fluid level
- Check operation of windscreen washers.
Monthly Checks
- Active suspension cycle
Fuel Filler Bowl
During fuel filling check that the fuel filler bowl drain pipe is free from debris which may block the pipe. If the pipe is blocked, water can not drain from the bowl and can overflow into the fuel tank.
Engine Oil Level
Caution
It is important to check the engine oil level regularly. Running the engine with engine oil below the lower mark or above the upper mark can cause serious engine damage.
Check the engine oil level every fourth fuel tank fill or weekly – which ever is the sooner.
Suspension Sweep
Caution
Activating the suspension sweep function will perform a complete sweep of all the ride height actuators on this vehicle which will cause the ride height of the vehicle to fluctuate. Before a suspension sweep is initialised, make sure that there are no objects beneath the vehicle, as this can damage the vehicle as the suspension is cycled.
If the vehicle is not regularly used, the system must be cycled monthly for the active suspension systems to operate in the best condition. To perform a suspension sweep, the vehicle must be started, and the Suspension Sweep function initiated in the Settings menu in the infotainment system (Refer to ’Settings Menu’, page 4.14). This will cycle the suspension actuators to lubricate the seals and prevent them from drying out. For a suspension sweep to be started, the below conditions must be met.
- Hydraulic supply must be available.
- The vehicle must be stationary.
- The transmission must be in N (neutral).
If any of the above conditions change or the suspension sweep is turned off manually, the suspension sweep function will be deactivated. Whilst the suspension system cycles, this allows for the HV battery to be charged to prevent it from draining over time. If charging the battery as well, the vehicle should be run for a minimum of 15 minutes.
High Voltage Checks
Battery State of Charge (SoC)
To help maintain the battery SoC, the supplied battery conditioner should be connected whenever the vehicle is not in use.
The HV battery SoC should be checked on a weekly basis. To check the battery SoC, select vehicle in the infotainment screen for a graphical display or it will also be shown in the instrument cluster menu.
If the SoC is below 20% then the vehicle should be started so that the battery is charged to at least 80%.
FAQs
Changing the engine oil is advised by Aston Martin every year or 7,500 kilometers, whichever comes first.
Use premium synthetic oil that complies with the owner’s manual’s suggested parameters.
Every 12,000 miles or as specified by the maintenance schedule, air filters should be examined and replaced as necessary.
Every 30,000 miles or as recommended by your owner’s handbook, change the spark plugs.
The ideal tire pressure can change, but for the front and rear tires, it’s often between 30-32 psi. For exact values, consult the owner’s manual or the driver’s door jamb.
To promote even tire wear, tire rotation is typically advised every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
Every 15,000 miles or as needed, brake pads and rotors should be inspected. When the thickness deviates from the recommended range, they should be replaced.
According to your owner’s manual or every 30,000 miles, Aston Martin advises changing the transmission fluid.
Regularly check the coolant level, especially prior to lengthy excursions, and top it off as necessary. Every three to five years, the entire cooling system should be flushed and replaced.
Owners can perform certain simple jobs like checking fluid levels, examining tires, and changing air filters, but difficult activities should be left to a licensed service facility.
For the warranty to stay in effect, adhere to the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance regimen provided in your owner’s handbook.
Use high-quality interior and exterior protectants, leather seat cleaning and conditioning, and routine exterior washing and waxing.
Clean and secure the battery terminals. Particularly if the car isn’t used frequently, check the battery voltage frequently.
Before adding aftermarket parts, it is essential to speak with your local Aston Martin service center to make sure they won’t void your warranty.
In a car cover, ideally, keep the vehicle in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Use a battery maintainer and store batteries long-term according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
