Press to set the rear window and door mirror heaters ON
or OFF. The rear screen heater will automatically set to OFF after 15 minutes and the door mirror heaters set to OFF after 6 minutes. - AIR CIRCULATION:
Warning:
Recirculated air can cause the interior glass to mist up in cold or rainy weather. If demisting is required, use the air conditioning. Controls the source of air entering the vehicle. Press to select re-circulated air (button LED ON). Press and hold for more than two seconds to close the windows. Press again to select outside air as source (button LED off). Press and hold for more than two seconds and the windows will open to their last position1. Use the re-circulated air position when going through tunnels, driving in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or when maximum cooling is required. Outside air is used as the default air source and should be used for normal conditions and demisting. - SEAT HEATING/COOLING:
Warning: Do not press the seat heater switch repeatedly. This can cause the seat to become very hot and can cause burn injuries to persons with limited sensitivity to temperature changes. - Seat Heating (standard):
Press to cycle the seat heating level on the driver or passenger seats. The LEDs show which heating level is set, where the higher the number of LEDs illuminated, the greater the heating level. - Seat Cooling (optional):
Press to cycle the seat cooling level on the driver or passenger seats. The LEDs show which cooling level is set, where the higher the number of LEDs illuminated, the greater the cooling level.

Rear Climate Control Lock The rear climate controls can be locked to prevent operation by using the window lock switch. When the climate switches are locked,
will be shown in the rear climate display.
Vent Adjustment
To adjust the air vents, use the vent knob (A). Push up or down to adjust the blades inside the vent. Push left or right to adjust the angle of the vent unit. Rotate the knob to open or close the vent.
Automatic Climate Control
The temperature is maintained at a set level in automatic mode. The climate system will automatically control the temperature, airflow and the air distribution according to the interior and exterior conditions.
To set a temperature for automatic operation:
- Set a temperature.
- Press
- The LED indicator lamp will switch on.
Press and hold to set the climate control to a default setting of 22°C, low fan speed and vents open. Maximum fan speed will not be available until the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. Any changes to the air distribution or airflow speed will cancel automatic climate control.
Manual Climate Control
Manually set the temperature, airflow speed, and air distribution:
Warning:
Re-circulated air can cause the interior glass to mist up in cold or rainy weather. If demisting is required, use the air conditioning.
To prevent cold air from blowing from the vents, airflow speed is reduced until the engine warms up. The climate system will produce the selected temperature regardless of in-vehicle conditions. For an increased cooling effect, press to use recirculated air.
Climate Menu
The climate control system can also be operated within the infotainment system. Press or select Climate from the Vehicle menu to open the climate screen. Push the CONTROL DIAL to the right to open the climate menu and select from:

Defrost and Demist
Caution: 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 parking brake is applied.
- Press
. 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 again.
- Press .
- Select a different airflow mode.
The automatic defrost setting times out after 6 minutes.
Climate Control Operating Tips
- 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.
- Set the climate system to off when in a car wash or if the vehicle is being pressure washed.
- Air conditioning may not function when the outside temperature approaches -6°C (indicator stays on even when system is off).
- Windows can fog up easily in humid weather. Use the climate control system to demist the windows.
- Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow and ice from the bonnet and the air inlet below the windscreen to improve the system efficiency.• Use the ‘outside air’ position in normal conditions. The ‘re-circulated 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.
- Mist may come out from the vents when using the air conditioning. This is humid air being suddenly cooled and not a sign of a malfunction.
