2003 ASTON MARTIN DB AR1 Q remove seats

A - Before Driving
1-A-15 Pull upwards on the diagonal belt to ensure secure latching and to remove
all slack from the belt. Finally, double check that the lap belt is fitted snugly,
low down across the hips, and that there are no twists.
If it is necessary for an occupant to adjust their seat or seating position during
a journey, the belt tension might be disturbed. The occupant should
therefore (as soon as it is safe to do so) gently pull down the shoulder run of
the seat belt to create some slack and then immediately release it to re-
tension the belt for the new seating position.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The seat belt pretensioner system is designed to hold vehicle occupants
against the seat back when a frontal collision occurs.
The seat belt pretensioner system works in conjunction with the airbag
system. In a serious frontal impact, as the airbags are triggered, the
pretensioners will also be triggered. These apply additional tension to the
front seat belts to hold the front seat occupants back in their seats.
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
All vehicles are fitted with an ALR seat belt in the front passenger seat.
This system is designed to securely hold child seats. The ALR system
temporarily locks the belt securing the child seat.
Securing a Child Seat (ALR System)
Fit the child seat following the manufacturers instructions. Gently pull out
the relevant inertia reel seat belt until fully extended. The ALR system will
only engage at the maximum extension point of the seat belt.

5. Using the handwheel (A) on the jack screwshaft, raise the jack until the
jack top plate (B) fits to the jacking point stud under the sill at the affected
wheel. Ensure that the jack baseplate is squarely seated on solid ground.
Note: In the following step, the jack handle extension (D) must be used to prevent
damage to the vehicle paintwork as the jack handle (C) is rotated.
6. Ensure the safety of any persons in the vicinity and the security of the
wheel chock. Raise the vehicle as necessary using the jack ratchet handle
(C) and extension (D) to lift the deflated wheel clear of the ground.
Remove the wheel nuts and remove the deflated wheel.
7. Mount the spare wheel on the hub. Reverse the jack ratchet handle on
the extension and partially tighten the wheel nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Tighten the wheel nuts alternately.
Remove the wheel chock.
9. Repack the tools into their location in the boot. Place the defective wheel
into the bag provided and place on the rear seats.
10. When the spare wheel is correctly fitted and secured, drive conservatively
(80 km/h (50 mph) maximum) and have the wheel nuts torque tightened
to 88-102 Nm (65-75 lbs/ft) at the earliest opportunity.
WARNINGS:
Follow the wheel label warnings. Failure to comply can be dangerous. Drive
cautiously and refit a serviceable standard wheel and tyre as soon as possible.
Never fit more than one temporary spare wheel at a time.
Check that the temporary spare tyre is inflated to the specified pressure.
Never exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when the spare wheel is fitted.

Upholstery, Carpets and Seats
The seats and soft trimmed components of DB AR1 are covered in Natural
Leather Hide and Alcantara. The Natural Leather Hide is supplied by Bridge
of Weir, Scotland.
In general, this natural leather upholstery requires little attention. The seats
should be brushed with a soft brush from time to time and may be cleaned
occasionally with a cloth damped in soap and water. DO NOT use
detergents, quick cleansers or furniture polishes.
Several times a year, a leather conditioner or preservative should be used.
Appropriate care materials are contained in the 'Bridge of Weir Leather Care
Kit', obtainable from your Aston Martin Dealer.
Alcantara trim and seat panels may be brushed with a soft brush. Stains from
water based substances such as coffee, tea or soft drinks should be cleaned
as soon as possible with mild soap and water. Please consult your dealer for
instructions on the removal of more difficult stains such as oil, grease or
ballpoint Ink.
Carpets should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Any stains or
grease marks should be removed with a good quality solvent suitable for use
on carpets.
WARNING: Fumes from cleaning solvents may be dangerous in confined spaces.
Make sure that the car is well ventilated and follow the manufacturer's printed
instructions when using these products.
