Climate Control

Operating Tips

• A solar sensor is installed on top of the instrument panel, this

should not be covered when driving.

• The intake grille of the in-vehicle temperature sensor is located in

the driver’s knee bolster, close to the centre console. To maintain

the optimum temperature this grille should not be obstructed.

• Moisture which forms on the evaporator in the air conditioning

unit is discharged via a drain tube onto the road. After stopping,

small puddles of water may form underneath the vehicle. This is

normal and does not show a system malfunction.

• Operate the climate control system with the engine operating.

• Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the hood and

the air inlet in the front grille to improve the system efficiency.

• Windows can fog up easily in humid weather. Use the climate

control system to demist the windows.

• To help demist the windows, operate the air conditioner to

dehumidify the air.

• Use the ‘outside air’ position in normal conditions. The

‘recirculated air’ position should be used temporarily when

driving on dusty roads or for quick cooling or heating of the

interior.

• If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot

weather, open the windows to let warm air escape, then close the

windows and operate the climate control system.

• Operate the climate control system at least once a month to keep

internal parts lubricated.

• Have the climate control system checked before the weather gets

hot. If the climate control system is low on refrigerant or has a

malfunction, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

• This vehicle is equipped with a pollen filter. It is necessary to

change the filter periodically as shown in the scheduled

maintenance. Consult your Aston Martin Dealer.

• Air conditioning may not function when the outside temperature

approaches 0°C (indicator stays ON even when system is OFF).

Climate Controls

Climate Control

[1] DISPLAY: Shows options, menus and information.

[2] AUTO: Press for automatic climate control operation (Refer to

’Automatic Operation’, page 6.6).

[3] TEMPERATURE: Set the required in vehicle temperature. Turn

clockwise for hot and counterclockwise for cold. The selected

temperature is shown on the DISPLAY.

[4] A/C: When in manual mode press and release to set the air

conditioning ON or OFF.

[5] HEATED REAR WINDOW: Press to operate the rear window

heater. Goes OFF after 20 minutes if not manually set to OFF. When

the heated rear window is ON the door mirror heaters will work for

6.5 minutes, then go OFF.

Warning: Do not select recirculated air in cold or rainy

weather, it can cause the interior glass to mist up.

[6] MAX : Press for maximum defrost or demist ON or OFF.

Outside air intake is automatically selected and air conditioning is

automatically started.

[7] FAN SPEED: Turn to set the required fan speed (clockwise for fast

speed and counterclockwise for low speed). The fan speed is shown

on the DISPLAY

[8] AIR CIRCULATION: Controls the source of air entering the

vehicle. Press to select recirculated air (button LED ON). Press again

to select outside air as source.

Use the recirculated air position when going through tunnels, driving

in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or when maximum

cooling is required. On start up the default position is outside air as

source. Use this position for normal conditions and demisting.

[9] AIRFLOW: Select the required airflow. The selected air flow

mode is shown on the DISPLAY(Refer to ’Automatic Operation’, page

6.6).

Display Units

To change the DISPLAY units to show Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

Press and hold in buttons 1 and 6 (A). Insert the vehicle key in the

ignition control and move to position ‘II’ (ignition ON), then release

the two buttons.

Solar and Temperature Sensors

The automatic air conditioner function measures inside and outside

temperatures, and sunlight. It then sets the interior temperature

accordingly. To maintain effective operation do not obscure the

following sensors:

[1] : Solar sensor.

[2] : In-vehicle temperature sensor.

Adjusting the Vents

To adjust the air flow vents:

Automatic Operation

Press AUTO. Using the TEMPERATURE dial set the required in-

vehicle temperature (read the actual temperature setting in the top

left of the DISPLAY). The A/C button LED will come ON.

Adjustments to fan speed, air flow and air re circulation will be made

automatically according to the set temperature, interior and exterior

conditions.

Maximum fan speed will not be available until the engine has

reach its normal operating temperature.

When using the air conditioner, mist may come out from the

vents. This is not a sign of trouble but a result of humid air being

suddenly cooled.

If resetting climate control functions other than the fan speed, the

fan speed will stay set as in automatic mode. Adjustments to the fan

speed will cancel Auto Mode.

Defrost and Demist

To defrost or demist the windscreen on vehicle start up in

extreme cold weather conditions, operate the engine at

1500 rpm. Always make sure that the transmission is in P (park)

and the park brake is applied.

Press MAX . The outside air intake is automatically selected, the

temperature is set to maximum and air conditioning is started.

If the engine is cold the air conditioner will not start up until the

engine has started to warm up.

To cancel automatic defrost or demist either:

• Press MAX again.

• Press AUTO.

• Press any of the airflow mode buttons.

The automatic defrost setting times out after 6 minutes.

Manual Operation

Set the required:

• Fan speed

• Temperature

• Air flow.

The fan speed and temperature setting will show on the DISPLAY.

When using the air conditioner, mist may come out from the

vents. This is not a sign of trouble but a result of humid air being

suddenly cooled.

Setting the temperature to maximum high or low will not provide

the required temperature at a faster rate. To prevent cool air blowing

from the vents when heating immediately after starting a cold engine,

the amount of airflow is reduced until the air warms up.

The vehicle heater will continue to produce the selected

temperature regardless of in-vehicle conditions.

If dehumidifying is required, press the A/C button (button LED ON).

To stop dehumidifying press A/C button (button LED OFF).

When maximum cooling is required, set the TEMPERATURE dial to

the extreme cold position and press the AIR CIRCULATION button to

the re circulated air position ( will show in the DISPLAY), then

set a fast fan speed.

Defrost and Demist

To defrost or demist the windscreen on vehicle start up in

extreme cold weather conditions, operate the engine at

1500 rpm. Always make sure that the transmission is in P (park)

and the park brake is applied.

Press A/C. Press the airflow button.

Set the required:

• Temperature

• Fan speed.

If the engine is cold the air conditioning will not start up until the

engine has started to warm up.

For maximum defrost or demist set the temperature and fan

speed dials to maximum.
