Hi everyone,
AM newbie here having just taken delivery of my first 06 Vantage over the weekend. A fantastic car I have to say sounds and goes superbly - as I'm sure you all already know. Just one question. . I get no audible alarm warning me I've left the lights on when the ignition is switched off. I've looked through the owners manual and the PH forum but can't find anything relating to this. Am I missing something ??Apologies in advance if it's just me being a bit thick!
Jon

Hello sir, this option can only be enabled by the Aston Martin diagnostic system, and as yours is a 2006 it may require a wiring modification as well,

Mine's a 56 (07MY) and if I remember correctly from when there were dark evenings the warning doesnt sound if you are only on sidelights as they go off when the ignition key is removed, but should sound when the headlights proper are on.

If I have got that the wrong way round no doubt someone will be along shortly to correct it !
