Driving
The driver should always take road conditions into account. A
slippery road surface always requires more braking distance for a
given speed, even with ABS. Possible extensions of stopping distance
compared to locked wheels may occur during ABS operation on
slushy snow, gravel, sand or certain heavily corrugated or ridged
warning sections of road surfaces.
If any braking system malfunction occurs, immediately have the
Braking and ABS systems checked by your Aston Martin Dealer.
ABS Warning
Warning: If the ABS warning symbol comes ON, you should
be aware that wheels could lock during extreme braking or
when braking on slippery surfaces.
ABS is monitored for correct operation while the ignition is ON. If a
fault is detected, the ABS warning symbol will come ON and the
ABS will be partly or fully OFF. Normal braking will continue to
function without ABS.
In the event of an ABS fault, consult your Aston Martin Dealer
immediately.
Dynamic Stability Control
Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely
according to the law and with due regard to prevailing
conditions.
Warning: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must never let the
driver be tempted into taking risks which could affect his or her
safety or that of other road users. DSC cannot overcome
consequences of applying too much engine power for prevailing
conditions.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is a system designed to enhance
driving safety by improving the vehicle handling when the tires are at
the limits of their grip capabilities. This is achieved through the
reduction of engine torque and strategic application of the brakes at
individual wheels.
Driver Interface and Control
If repair or replacement of the steering or other surrounding
equipment is necessary, always refer to your Aston Martin
Dealer. If the centre position of the steering deviates, the DSC
system may not operate correctly because there is a sensor in the
steering system which detects steering wheel position.
The DSC system may not operate correctly when using tire
chains or a temporary spare tire.
Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand, tread pattern and
correct size specified for this vehicle on all four road wheels. Do
not mix worn tires.
DSC has three modes of operation:
ON: The DSC system sets to ON each time the engine is started. DSC
is controlling engine torque and applying strategic application of the
brakes at individual wheels.
While the DSC system operates to correct the vehicle stability the
DSC symbol on the instrument cluster, will flash.
