Thought i would start with a pic of the car, as i though it would be a requirement
1st question ( this i going to be a dumb one ) How do u open petrol cap? when i picked up the car the dealer showed me the emergency petrol cap release which i had to use yesterday after spending a whole 2mins looking for a button to release the cap in the car and trying the old school technic of just pushing the cap ( like bmw's)
(tbh the dealer prob did show me but i probably just wasn't paying attention as he started by showing me how the heating and fog lights work and i just wanted to drive)
All my other cars have the filler cap work with the central locking but for some reason Aston Martin still use a button.
It's OK though as Jeremy Clarkson couldn't find it either when he went to Monaco in a DB9
so you're in good company.

Bonjourno Nix, fantastic car !!!!
Nobody reads the manual straight away, you just want to drive it eh?
You will find a wealth of info in there, as well as on this site.
Make sure you don't accidently press the Ejector Button instead of the Fuel Cap Button otherwise you'll be filling up with a massive headache

Hope I didn't come off as being harsh. If the dealer hadn't shown me then the same would have happened to me, I'm sure.
I remember spending 10 mins on a forecourt after picking up a new car trying to find the button to open the petrol flap. Eventually I found that you just had to press one side of the flap. Very embarrassing.

Yh up till now i never had a car with a button on the inside, i do find it overly pointless,I remember spending 10 mins on a forecourt after picking up a new car trying to find the button to open the petrol flap. Eventually I found that you just had to press one side of the flap. Very embarrassing.

where's the emergency release? Mine wouldn't release recently when I was filling up. Embarrassing yes it was
In the boot...pretty much directly under the cap !!!Again, I would caution against touching the Passenger Side Ejector Pull Chord in the same area.
Your wife will not be best pleased
