7.2
Convertible Roof (market specific)
Roof Operation
Warning: Before raising or lowering the roof, make sure that
all occupants are clear of the roof linkage, the windscreen frame
and door windows.
Warning: Misuse of the roof switch, especially by children,
can result in injury due to entrapment in the roof mechanism
and locking points.
Aston Martin recommend that the roof is not operated at
temperatures of 0°C and below.
Make sure that the roof is always fully raised or fully lowered.
Avoid repetitive use of the roof; this may cause the roof pump
to over heat. If the pump over heats roof movement will be
inhibited until the pump has cooled.
Do not attempt to lower the roof if any objects or clothing are
laying on top of the roof.
Before closing or opening the roof, make sure that there are
no objects placed on the rear sloping deck area which could
interfere with the folded, stored roof, especially the heated rear
windscreen glass. Even small objects can cause damage.
Continuous use of the roof without the engine operating will
cause the vehicle battery to rapidly discharge.
Do not store objects or items in the roof storage area. Any
objects or items stored there may cause damage to the roof when
attempting to lower it. Even small objects can cause damage.
Due to wind pressure when driving at very high speeds the door
windows may not close correctly.
Conditions for Operating the Roof
Warning: Keep the vehicle road speed down to a minimum
until the roof has completed its operation.
Aston Martin recommend that the roof is only operated while
the vehicle is stationary.
• The trunk lid must be closed
• The ignition must be ON (engine running or not)
• Headroom (A) 61 inches is available for the roof to raise or lower
• Outside temperature must be above -10°C
The trunk lid will lock and will stay locked during roof lowering
and raising operations.
