Before Driving
These conditions can cause the weight of a correctly seated passenger
to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger sensing system.
The person in the front passenger seat can appear heavier or lighter
due to the conditions described.
If the PASS AIRBAG OFF symbol is ON, do the following:
The driver and adult passengers should check for any objects that
may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo
interfering with the seat.
If objects are lodged or cargo is interfering with the seat take the
following steps to remove the obstruction:
1. Set the ignition to OFF.
2. Check for any objects lodged underneath the front passenger
seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
3. Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).
4. Start the engine.
5. Wait at least two minutes and verify that the PASS AIRBAG OFF
symbol is no longer ON.
If the PASS AIRBAG OFF symbol stays ON, this may or may not be a
problem due to the front passenger sensing system. Do not attempt
to repair or service the system. Take the vehicle immediately to the
nearest Aston Martin Dealer.
Determining if the System is Operational
The warning symbol in the instrument cluster shows the status of the
system. A problem with the system is shown by one or more of the
following:
• The warning symbol will either flash or stay ON.
• The warning symbol will not come ON immediately after the
ignition is set to ON.
If either of these conditions occur, even intermittently, have the
restraint system serviced at your Aston Martin Dealer immediately.
Unless serviced, the system may not operate correctly in a collision.
Tether Anchors
Warning: An infant or child that is not properly restrained
can be seriously injured or killed in a crash. Seat belts are
designed for adults and larger children; infants and smaller
children must be restrained in an approved child safety seat.
Warning: Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by correctly installed child
restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult
seatbelts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
Warning: Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions. Not following the child-seat manufacturer’s
instructions when installing the child seat is dangerous.
Warning: Make sure the child seat tether strap is free from
obstructions above and below. Do not place any items on the
tether strap between the child seat and the tether anchor point.
Do not place tether strap over any items between the child seat
and the tether anchor point.

Before Driving
A tether is a strap that connects the top of a child seat to a tether
anchor point on the vehicle to reduce excessive movement of the
child seat in the event of a collision. The purpose of a tether strap is
to provide additional protection for the child seat occupant in the
event of a serious impact. The tether strap is supplementary to the
seat belts.
Your vehicle has a tether anchor point for each passenger seat.
Correct Assembly of Tether Anchorages
Passenger Seats
Coupe Seating Only
Tether anchor points are located behind the top of the rear seats.
Engage the attachment clip in the orientation shown and make sure
that the locking spring has fully closed to prevent accidental
disengagement of the tether strap. Always make sure that the tether
strap length is adjusted to remove any slack.
If installing a child restraint on the front passenger seat, thread the
tether strap through the aperture in the seat back and clip to the rear
anchor points.

Volante Seating Only
The Volante tonneau lid and deployable rollbars do not allow the
installation of rear seat tether anchor points. Do not use a child
restraint system or a booster cushion requiring the use of a tether
strap as they can not be correctly secured in the vehicle. If you choose
to use a child safety seat or a booster cushion on the rear seats always
use the automatic locking retractor seat belts.
