Aston Martin DB11 2021 Vehicle Lifting User Guide

Vehicle Lifting

Warning: Make sure that no persons are in the vehicle before the vehicle is lifted.

Warning: Make sure that the parking 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 are shown.

If this vehicle is to be raised using a vehicle jack make sure that the following jacking points are used.

Wheel Bolt Torque
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. All-wheel bolts must be tightened in two stages:

• Tighten every second wheel bolt (in the order shown) to 70 Nm (52 l b /f t) until all five bolts are tightened. If a locking wheel bolt is installed, this should be installed last.

Tighten every second wheel bolt (in the order shown) to 150 Nm (111 l b/f t) until all five bolts are tightened.

Tyre Repair Kit

Warning: Do not use the system to seal a tire that was damaged while driving with insufficient air pressure (e.g. tyre cuts, cracks, bumps or similar damage). Do not use the system to seal tires with sidewall damage. Only punctures in the tread area of tyres may be sealed.

Warning: Do not stand directly beside the tyre while the compressor is pumping. Watch the side wall of the tyre. If there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage set the compressor to OFF. The journey should not be continued. Contact your nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

Warning: If a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar (26 Psi) cannot be reached then the tyre can not be sealed. Do not attempt to re-inflate the tyre. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Warning: If the pressure in the tyre after driving for 3 km is below 1.3 bar (19 Psi) the tyre has not been effectively sealed. The journey should not be continued. Contact your nearest Aston Martin Dealer.

Warning: After a longer period of rest, the tyre pressure should be rechecked.

Caution: The tyre sealant kit only provides temporary mobility. Always refer to local laws and regulations on the use and repair of tires that have been treated with any form of temporary mobility aid. Consult a tyre specialist for advice. Inform the tyre specialist that the tyre contains sealant. Remains of liquid sealant must be handed over to your dealer or disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Dispose of empty sealant bottles together with normal household waste.

Operation
Remove the tyre sealant kit from its location in the boot. Follow the instructions detailed on the lid. Read the following instructions and warnings carefully before using the tyre sealant kit. Compliance with these instructions is vital to make sure of vehicle and user safety. Non-compliance with these instructions means risking severe tyre damage and hazardous vehicle behavior which can lead to a road accident involving damage to property or injury to persons.

• Make sure that the vehicle is parked far enough from traffic so that there is no danger from passing vehicles and so that you do not disrupt the traffic. Warn other vehicles using the warning triangle.
• A maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) may not be exceeded at any time after sealing the tyre with the system.• The system provides only a temporary emergency repair for continuing the journey up to 200 km (125 miles) or to the nearest Aston Martin Dealer.
• If the nearest Aston Martin Dealer is over 200 km (125 miles) away, arrange for collection with Aston Martin Assistance.
• The system will effectively seal a tyre that was punctured by an object with a diameter of up to 6 mm. It is possible that a tyre, especially with greater damage, will not be sealed. Do not remove objects that punctured the tyre if they are still lodged in the tyre.
• The sealant bottle needs to be exchanged before it expires. Do not use the system after the expiry date on the sealant bottle or casing has been reached. Contact your nearest Aston Martin Dealer.
• Do not attempt to inflate other objects without using a system adapter and do not inflate objects with a volume greater than 50 liter (air mattresses, rubber boats, etc.). Do not let the system pump air for more than 10 minutes without stopping it and allowing it to cool down.
• Both the hose and the bottle of sealant need to be replaced after using the system. Sealant deposits in a used hose may cause the system to operate incorrectly. New bottles of sealant can be purchased from your Aston Martin Dealer.

Fuel

Fuel Level Warnings
There are two stages of fuel level warning:

1. The first fuel level warning changes the fuel symbol on the fuel gauge from white to amber. This means that the vehicle will now be using its reserve fuel level and should be refueled at the nearest fuel station.
2. The second fuel level warning will also show a warning symbol in the right instrument cluster window and replaces the Range value. The vehicle is now down to half of its reserve fuel level and should be refueled as soon as possible.

Fuel Filling

The fuel tank filler neck has a restricted opening that will only accept the fuel supply nozzle of unleaded fuel pumps.
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.

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 refueling nozzle.

Fuel Filler Bowl
To stop water from 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.

Fuel Cut-Off
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.

Fuel Filler Flap Emergency Release
To manually unlock the fuel filler flap:

1. The right side carpet for the luggage compartment (1) must be moved. Release the two fasteners (2) that attach the carpet and disconnect the luggage compartment lamp (3). Move the carpet.
   
2. Reach behind the right side deck lid hinge.
   
3. Pull the emergency release (ER) tab to unlock the fuel cap.
   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.
   
4. Open the fuel flap by pressing down on the rear edge of the fuel flap.
