Maintenance
Standard Load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a
maximum load at 35psi [37psi (2.5bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing
the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’s
load carrying capability.
Extra Load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a
heavier maximum load at 41psi [43psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires].
Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not
increase the tire’s load carrying capability.
kPa: Kilo pascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure.
Cold Inflation Pressure: The tire pressure when the vehicle has
been stationary and out of direct sun light for an hour or more and
prior to the vehicle being driven for 1 mile (1.6km).
Recommended Inflation Pressure: The cold inflation pressure
found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label
(found on the edge of the driver’s door).
Bead Area of the Tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.
Sidewall of the Tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.
Tread Area of the Tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts
the road when mounted on the vehicle.
Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly
upon which the tire beads are seated.
Tire Sealant Kit
Warning: Do not use the system to seal a tire that was
damaged while driving with insufficient air pressure (e.g. tire
cuts, cracks, bumps or similar damage). Do not use the system to
seal tires with side wall damage. Only punctures in the tread
area of tires may be sealed.
Warning: Do not stand directly beside the tire while the
compressor is pumping. Watch the side wall of the tire. If there
are any cracks, bumps or similar damage set the compressor to
OFF. The journey should not be continued. Contact your nearest
Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: If a tire pressure of 1.8 bar/26 psi cannot be
reached then the tire can not be sealed. Do not attempt to re-
inflate the tire. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: If the pressure in the tire after driving for 1.8 miles
is below 1.3 bar/19 psi the tire has not been effectively sealed.
The journey should not be continued. Contact your nearest
Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: After a longer period of rest, the tire pressure
should be rechecked.

Maintenance
The tire sealant kit only provides temporary mobility. Always
refer to local laws and regulations on the use and repair of tires
that have been treated with any form of temporary mobility aid.
Consult a tire specialist for advice.
Inform the tire specialist that the tire contains sealant.
Location
The tire sealant kit is located in the trunk storage area (A) Volante and
(B) Coupe.
Operation
Read the following instructions and warnings carefully before using
the tire sealant kit. Compliance with these instructions is vital to make
sure of vehicle and user safety. Noncompliance with these
instructions means risking severe tire damage and hazardous vehicle
behaviour which can lead to a road accident involving damage to
property or injury to persons.
• Make sure that the vehicle is parked far enough from traffic so
that there is no danger from passing vehicles and so that you do
not disrupt the traffic. Warn other vehicles using the warning
triangle.
• The system should only be used between temperatures of – 40°C
and 70°C.
• A maximum speed of 50 miles per hour may not be exceeded at
any time after sealing the tire with the system.
• The system provides only a temporary emergency repair for
continuing the journey up to 124 miles or to the nearest
Aston Martin Dealer.
• If the nearest Aston Martin Dealer is over 124 miles away arrange
for collection under the Aston Martin Emergency Service scheme.
• The system will effectively seal a tire that was punctured by an
object with a diameter of up to 0.24 inch. It is possible that a tire,
especially with greater damage, will not be sealed. Do not remove
objects that punctured the tire if they are still lodged in the tire.
• The sealant bottle needs to be exchanged before it expires. Do
not use the system after the expiry date on the sealant bottle or
casing has been reached. Contact your nearest Aston Martin
Dealer.
• Do not attempt to inflate other objects without using a system
adapter and do not inflate objects with a volume greater than 53
quart (air mattresses, rubber boats, etc.). Do not let the system
pump air for more than 10 minutes without stopping it and
allowing it to cool down.
Both the hose and the bottle of sealant need to be replaced after
using the system. Sealant deposits in a used hose may cause the
system to operate incorrectly. New bottles of sealant can be
purchased from your Aston Martin Dealer.
Dispose of empty sealant bottles together with normal household
waste.
Remains of liquid sealant must be handed over to your dealer or
disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations.
