Maintenance and Servicing

Regular maintenance and servicing is the responsibility of the owner.

Regular routine maintenance helps to prevent unnecessary breakdowns

and inconvenience. Each vehicle is given a full Pre-Delivery Inspection to

ensure that all systems function correctly and that the vehicle meets its

specifications. Failure to carry out maintenance at the recommended

intervals could result in deterioration of vehicle performance and possible

infringement of regulations. Such lack of proper maintenance may also

adversely affect your warranty protection.

Your Aston Martin dealer will arrange for appointments on a distance or time

interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is

undertaken and recorded in the 'Service Schedules and Service Records'

section of this Owner's Guide.

Location of Components

When reading component descriptions or when

following procedures in this Owner's Guide, the

following convention is adopted for locating items

within the vehicle.

All directions are described as viewed from the

driver's seat. Thus the fuel filler cap indicated on this

diagram will be described as "located at the rear left

side of the vehicle".

DB AR1 Owner's Guide

Vehicle Identification

the windscreen.

The Vehicle Identification Plate attached to the right front inner wing is
