Aston Martin Warning Lights | Your Complete Guide

Follow our guide on Aston Martin Warning Lights to quickly and safely identify any faults, warnings or information lights you may see on your Aston Martin Dashboard.

Aston Martin categorise the warning light systems by the following colours:

RED: This indicates a fault has been detected but is a higher priority than AMBER. You should pull over when safe to do and call Aston Martin roadside assistance.

AMBER: An amber light also indicates a potential fault. These are seen as less priority than red warning lights. But should still be taken seriously, stop your vehicle when safe to do so and investigate the fault. Contact roadside assistance if necessary or your Aston Martin dealership.

GREEN or BLUE: These act as notification light. This shows a feature is turned on and in operation.
