Winter (Snow) tyres
Winter tyres must only be installed in complete four-wheel
sets of the same type. The maximum speed with winter tyres
installed (without snow chains) is 210 km/h (131 mile/h) for
H rated tyres or 240 km/h (149 mile/h) for V rated tyres.
When using snow chains, note that:
• Snow chains must only be installed to the rear wheels
• Only Aston Martin snow chains should be used
• Snow chains must not be used on roads which are clear of snow
• The maximum speed with winter tyres and snow chains fitted is 48 km/h (30 mile/h)
• Traction control must be switched Off when using snow chains

Exhaust (09.00)
Silencer Assembly (09.01)
Variable Flow Silencer Assembly
The rear silencer assembly has a variable fl ow path controlled by two bypass valves.
The system is intended to enhance top end performance in mo tor sport applications and will not operate in most normal
driving conditions.
By directing exhaust gasses through a modified path at high vehicle speeds, exhaust back pressure is reduced and top end
performance is enhanced.
As engine speed increase from idle, the bypass valve is open until the engine speed is 1500 rpm.
From 1500 rpm to 3000 rpm, the valve is closed
Above 3000 rpm the bypass valves state is load dependent (fully open at higher loads).

wheel' and the excess pressure will be dissipated through the
expansion valve. When the pressure drops below 27.6 bar,
the safety valve will close again and the compressor will be
operative.
The terms ‘high’ and ‘low’ pressure (or side) refer to the
pressure differential between the compressor and expansion
valve ports. This differential is critical to system fault
diagnosis and efficiency checks.
The high side starts at the compressor and includes the
trinary switch, condenser, receiver drier and expansion
valve.
The low side starts at the expansion valve outlet and includes
the evaporator and all connectio ns back to the compressor.
The trinary switch (6) monitors system pressure between the
compressor and condenser. If the pressure rises above 30
bar or falls below 2 bar the compressor clutch is
de-energised to prevent damage to system components.
