Having just downloaded the digital owners copy for my Vanquish (many thanks Francis) I am a little confused to the operation of the emergency key specifically items 3, 4 and 5.

1. Locate a small slot underneath the side strake. Carefully insert your Aston Martin Emergency Assistance card (or similar item) to push the internal clip and release the strake.
2. Carefully push the side strake towards the front of the vehicle and remove.
3. Insert the emergency key in the lock and turn fully towards the front of the vehicle, then release, to centrally lock the vehicle, disable the boot lid and fuel flap release switches. The security system will not arm.
4. To centrally unlock the vehicle, enable the boot lid and fuel flap release switches, turn fully towards the rear of the vehicle, then release. If the security system was armed, the alarm will start.
5. To stop the alarm insert the vehicle key (even if the vehicle key has lost all power) into the ignition control and move to position ‘II’ (ignition ON).

In 3 how do you disable the boot and fuel flap release and in 4 enable the same, in 5 where is position II on the ignition control (for that matter I did not think that there is one).

Anyone tried the emergency key?.

3) fully forward does the trick
4) fully rearward, the opposite
5) flush with key port
