which provides engine immobilisation if the wrong vehicle key is
used.
When the security system is armed, any attempt to forcibly open a
door, the trunk lid or the hood will result in full alarm operation.
Garage Door Opener
As a security precaution make sure that all programming is erased in
the HomeLink system before selling this vehicle (Refer to ’Garage
Door Opener’, page 2.15).

is approved by major insurers.
Aston Martin Approved
The only vehicle tracking system approved for all Aston Martin
vehicles.
How the System Works
The Aston Martin Tracking system is supplied with two unique driver
cards. An authorized driver must have a driver card in their
possession when using the vehicle.
Do not leave the driver card inside the vehicle or with the vehicle
key. It should be kept in a safe place and always separately from your
vehicle keys.
The system automatically arms itself after the vehicle ignition has
been switched off for 70 seconds and the driver card is out of range
(approximately 3 metres).
The system will automatically disarm itself when the driver card is
bought back in range of the vehicle.
If your vehicle is driven approximately 100 metres and the driver card
has not been detected, a silent alert is transmitted to the Secure
Operating Centre to inform the advisors of a potential unauthorized
movement of your vehicle. The advisors then contact you.
To avoid an alert being generated, if the engine has been started and
the driver card is not in your possession, switch the ignition off and
call the Secure Operating Centre for advice.
2.4
Vehicle Security
The system will additionally:
• Send an alert if your vehicle is lifted or towed away without the
keys.
• Send an alert if your vehicle battery is disconnected or
discharged.
• Send an alert if the GPS antenna has been disconnected.
• Send a monthly health check message to the Secure Operating
Centre to confirm full system functionality.
Please consult your Aston Martin Dealer for details and subscription
rates.
If your Vehicle is Stolen
After an alert has been received, the Secure Operating Centre
advisors attempt to contact you using the telephone number(s) that
you supplied at the time of registration. A minimum of two telephone
numbers must be provided at the time of activation of the contract.
The Police are not contacted until the advisors have spoken with you.
This is to comply with Police procedures so that Police time is not
wasted with false alarms.
Once the theft has been confirmed with you, the advisors will ask you
to contact the Police to report the theft and to call the advisor back
immediately with a Police incident number. Receipt of an alert does
not constitute a confirmed theft, as Police Forces require key holder
verification of a theft.
The Secure Operating Centre then liases with the relevant Police
Force to seek to recover your vehicle.
If your vehicle is outside the UK, the Secure Operating Centre work
with the Police in their local language across Europe to recover your
vehicle quickly.
In order to prevent your vehicle being moved following a theft, the
Secure Operating Centre under instruction from the Police, may
temporarily prevent the vehicle's engine from restarting.
Once the Police have secured the stolen vehicle, arrangements are
made with you for the vehicle to be collected. The Police may require
it to be taken to a secure compound for further investigation.
You will be liable for any statutory Police recovery and storage
charges, payable directly to the Police.
Additional Information
False Alarms
To avoid unnecessary alerts, contact the Secure Operation Centre to
inform them of any potential false alarm. Excessive false alerts may
result in a charge.
Damage Check
If you are involved in an accident or if your vehicle battery has been
disconnected for any reason (for example, body work repair or paint
re-spray), you must call Aston Martin Tracking Customer Services so
that they can test the system to check that it is still functioning
correctly.
