Tyre Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS Guide )
Warning: Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Over-inflation and under-inflation also reduce fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Warning: The TPMS is not a substitute for correct tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressures, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to set the TPMS tyre pressure indicator symbol to ON. A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is installed as a safety feature. This system will display the tyre pressures for each tyre and provide warnings if pressure is below a specified pressure for each tyre.
Each tyre should be checked at least once every two weeks when cold, and inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (Refer to ’Wheel and Tyre Information’, page 11.15)or on the tyre pressure label. If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the tyre pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre pressure for those tyres.
Tyre Pressure Display
Monitoring System Tutorial
The TPMS display is shown in the instrument cluster. Use the direction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to Service and select Tyre Pressure. Tyre pressures will be displayed in the instrument cluster after the vehicle has been driven for a few minutes. If an under-inflated tyre is detected by the system, the TPMS symbol is solidly illuminated.
The message centre will also display one of the below messages:
- Please Rectify Tyre Pressures: At least one tyre has too low a pressure. Tyre pressures should be checked and corrected when possible.
- Check Tyre(s): At least one tyre has significantly low pressure. The tyre pressures must be checked and corrected as soon as possible.
- Warning Tyre Defect: At least one tyre has lost pressure very suddenly. The vehicle should be stopped as safely as possible and the tyres checked.
Once the message has been acknowledged an image of the vehicle will be displayed in the message centre showing which tyre(s) have low or high air pressure and the current tyre pressure. When the tyre pressure indicator comes ON, stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate or deflate them to the correct pressure.
Warning: When a tyre pressure warning is detected, reduce the vehicle speed to a safe level. Stop in a safe and convenient place and inspect the tyre(s).
The tyre pressures may be displayed in the wrong positions for a short time if the wheels have been moved on the vehicle. After a few minutes of driving, the TPMS will calibrate and the tyre pressures are displayed in the correct positions.
2021 Aston Martin DBX TPMS Reset Owner’s Manual
All warning messages are erased and warning lamps go out when the TPMS is reset. The TPMS will use the new tyre pressure values as reference values.
To reset the TPMS tyre pressure values:
- Use the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel to navigate to Service.
- Navigate to Tyre Pressure.
- Select Use Current Pressures as New Reference Values.
- The TPMS will now reset. After a short period of driving, the system checks if the tyre pressures are within the specified range. The new tyre pressures are then used as the new reference values.
TPMS Malfunction Warning
If the TPMS malfunctions due to a system failure will flash for approximately one minute or tyre transmitter fault, and then remain lit. A malfunction of the tyre pressure monitor can take up to ten minutes to be shown. The TPMS warning lamp will go out when the fault has been resolved and after several minutes of driving.
A TPMS malfunction can be caused by:
- A defective TPMS sensor.
- Wheels and tyres installed that do not have Tire Pressure sensors.
- Unapproved items interfering with the TPMS.
- TPMS system or software fault.
- If the system shows there is a TPMS fault, continue at a reduced speed of 30mph / 48 km/h maximum. Contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

FAQ’s
Aston Martin recommends checking tyre pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Regular monitoring helps maintain proper inflation levels for safety and performance.
It is crucial to stick to the recommended tyre pressure for the 2021 Aston Martin DBX, as using different pressures can affect handling, fuel efficiency, and tyre lifespan.
Yes, the 2021 Aston Martin DBX is equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that alerts the driver when tyre pressure is below the recommended level.
The TPMS in the 2021 Aston Martin DBX uses sensors to monitor individual tyre pressures and alerts the driver through a dashboard indicator if any tyre is under-inflated.
If the TPMS warning light illuminates, check the tyre pressures promptly using a reliable gauge and adjust them to the recommended levels.
Yes, temperature fluctuations can impact tyre pressure. It is advisable to check and adjust the tyre pressure in the 2021 Aston Martin DBX with changes in weather conditions.
Maintaining the recommended tyre pressure contributes to optimal fuel efficiency in the 2021 Aston Martin DBX. Under-inflated tyres can increase rolling resistance, leading to decreased fuel economy.
Yes, improper tyre pressure can negatively impact the handling of the 2021 Aston Martin DBX, affecting stability, cornering, and overall performance. Regular checks help ensure optimal driving dynamics.
It’s essential to follow the recommended tyre pressure for various driving conditions in the 2021 Aston Martin DBX. Adjustments may be needed for off-road driving, high-speed driving, or other specific scenarios.
If you experience a sudden loss of tyre pressure, safely pull over, and inspect the tyres for damage. Avoid driving on a flat tyre, as it can cause further damage to both the tyre and the vehicle.
Neglecting tyre pressure maintenance in the 2021 Aston Martin DBX can lead to uneven tyre wear, decreased fuel efficiency, compromised handling, and increased risk of tyre failure. Regular checks are crucial for vehicle safety and performance.
