2012 Lancia Voyager Owner handbook (in English)

1. Insert the fuel cap key into the key
cylinder and turn the key to the right
to unlock.
2. Turn the gas cap knob to the left to
remove the cap.
3. When tightening the filler cap,
tighten until two or three clicks are
heard to ensure that the cap is prop-
erly seated.CAUTION!
 Damage to the fuel system oremission control system could re-
sult from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A
poorly fitting cap could let impu-
rities into the fuel system and may
cause the “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” to turn on due to
fuel vapors escaping from the sys-
tem.
 To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not “top off” the fuel tank
after filling.
WARNING!
 Never have any smoking materi-als lit in or near the vehicle when
the gas cap is removed or the tank
is being filled.
 Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This is in violation of
most local laws and may cause the
MIL to turn on.
 A fire may result if gasoline is
pumped into a portable container
that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas
containers on the ground while
filling.
NOTE:
 When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
 Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.
This is an indication that the
fuel filler cap is properly tight-
ened.
 If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on.
Be sure the gas cap is tightened
every time the vehicle is refu-
eled. TRAILER TOWING
In this section you will find safety tips
and information on limits to the type
of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle. Before towing a trailer
carefully review this information to
tow your load as efficiently and safely
as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, fol-
low the requirements and recommen-
dations in this manual concerning ve-
hicles used for trailer towing.
COMMON TOWING
DEFINITIONS
The following trailer towing related
definitions will assist you in under-
standing the following information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, cargo and trailer
tongue weight. The total load must be
limited so that you do not exceed the
GVWR.
259

Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer
plus the weight of all cargo, consum-
ables and equipment (permanent or
temporary) loaded in or on the trailer
in its "loaded and ready for opera-
tion" condition. The recommended
way to measure GTW is to put your
fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
The entire weight of the trailer must
be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating
(GCWR)
The GCWR is the total permissible
weight of your vehicle and trailer
when weighed in combination.
NOTE:
The GCWR rating includes a 68 kg
allowance for the presence of a
driver.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity
of the front and rear axles. Distribute
the load over the front and rear axles
evenly. Make sure that you do not
exceed either front or rear GAWR.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not ex-
ceed the maximum front or rear
GAWR. A dangerous driving condi-
tion can result if either rating is ex-
ceeded. You could lose control of the
vehicle and have an accident.
Trailer Tongue Weight (TW)
The tongue weight is the downward
force exerted on the hitch ball by the
trailer. In most cases, it should not be
less than 7% or more than 10% of the
trailer load. Trailer tongue weight
must not exceed the lesser of either the
hitch certification rating, or the trailer
tongue chassis rating. It should never
be less than 4% of the trailer load, and
not less than 25 kg. You must consider
tongue load as part of the load on your
vehicle and its GAWR.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted hitch sys-
tem may reduce handling, stability
and braking performance and could
result in an accident. Consult with
your hitch and trailer manufacturer
or a reputable trailer/caravan dealer
for additional information.
Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum
height multiplied by the maximum
width of the front of a trailer.
BREAKAWAY CABLE
ATTACHMENT
European braking regulations for
braked trailers up to 3 500 kg, require
trailers to be fitted with either a sec-
ondary coupling or breakaway cable.
The recommended location for at-
taching the normal trailer's break-
away cable is in the stamped slot lo-
cated on the sidewall of the hitch
receiver.
260

With Attachment Point
1. For detachable tow bar pass the
cable through the attachment point
and clip it back onto itself.
2. For fixed ball tow bar attach the
clip directly to the designated point.
This alternative must be specifically
permitted by the trailer manufacturer
since the clip may not be sufficiently
strong for use in the way.Without Attachment Points
1. For detachable ball tow bar you
must follow the recommended manu-
facturer or supplier procedure.
2. For fixed ball tow bar loop the
cable around the neck of the tow ball.
If you fit the cable like this, use a
single loop only.

NOTE:
The trailer tongue weight must be
considered as part of the com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo, and should never exceed the
weight referenced on the Tire and
Loading Information placard. The
Tire and Loading Information
placard is located on the drivers
door pillar.
Trailer And Tongue Weight

vehicle and trailer. Failure to load
trailers heavier in front is the cause of
many trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum trailer
tongue weight stamped on your trailer
hitch.
Consider the following items when
computing the weight on the rear axle
of the vehicle:
 The tongue weight of the trailer.
 The weight of any other type ofcargo or equipment put in or on
your vehicle.
 The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE:
Remember that everything put into
or on the trailer adds to the load on
your vehicle. Also, additional
factory-installed options, or
dealer-installed options, must be
considered as part of the total load
on your vehicle. Refer to the Tire
and Loading Information placard,
located on the drivers door pillar, for the maximum combined weight
of occupants and cargo for your
vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your
new vehicle drivetrain components
the following guidelines are recom-
mended:
CAUTION!
 Do not tow a trailer at all during
the first 805 km the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other
parts could be damaged.
 Then, during the first 805 km that
a trailer is towed, do not drive
over 80 km/h and do not make
starts at full throttle. This helps
the engine and other parts of the
vehicle wear in at the heavier
loads.WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to an in-
jury accident. Follow these guide-
lines to make your trailer towing as
safe as possible:
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Make certain that the load is se-
cured in the trailer and will not
shift during travel. When traile-
ring cargo that is not fully se-
cured, dynamic load shifts can oc-
cur that may be difficult for the
driver to control. You could lose
control of your vehicle and have
an accident.
 All trailer hitches should be pro-
fessionally installed on your ve-
hicle.
 When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your ve-
hicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor per-
formance or damage to brakes,
axle, engine, transmission, steer-
ing, suspension, chassis structure
or tires.
 Safety chains must always be used
between your vehicle and trailer.
Always connect the chains to the
frame or hook retainers of the ve-
hicle hitch. Cross the chains under
the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
(Continued)
262

WARNING!(Continued)
 Vehicles with trailers should not
be parked on a grade. When park-
ing, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow ve-
hicle automatic transmission in
PARK. Always block or "chock"
the trailer wheels.
 GCWR must not be exceeded.
 Total weight must be distrib-
uted between the tow vehicle
and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not
exceeded:
1. GVWR
2. GTW
3. GAWR
4. Trailer tongue weight rating for
the trailer hitch utilized.
Towing Requirements – Tires
 Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
 Proper tire inflation pressures are essential for the safe and satisfac-
tory operation of your vehicle. Re-
fer to “Tires – General Informa-
tion” in “Starting and Operating”
for proper tire inflation procedures.  Check the trailer tires for proper
tire inflation pressures before
trailer usage.
 Check for signs of tire wear or vis- ible tire damage before towing a
trailer. Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Starting and Op-
erating” for the proper inspection
procedure.
 When replacing tires, refer to “Tires – General Information” in “Start-
ing and Operating” for proper tire
replacement procedures. Replacing
tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehi-
cle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
 Do notinterconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
 When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake
controller is not required.  Trailer brakes are recommended
for trailers over 450 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
750 kg.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than
450 kg loaded, it should have its
own brakes and they should be of
adequate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lin-
ing wear, higher brake pedal effort,
and longer stopping distances.WARNING!
 Do not connect trailer brakes to
your vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an ac-
cident.
 Towing any trailer will increase
your stopping distance. When
towing you should allow for addi-
tional space between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
Failure to do so could result in an
accident.
263

Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stop lights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a seven-pin or a thirteen-pin wiring
harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE:
Do not cut or splice wiring into the
vehicles wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all
complete to the vehicle but you must
mate the harness to a trailer connec-
tor.

TOWING TIPS
Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, select a lower
gear range using the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) shift control. NOTE:
Using a lower gear range while op-
erating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve
performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This
action will also provide better en-
gine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and
filter should be changed if you REGU-
LARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
 Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
 When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
 Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
265

Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and
transmission overheating, take the
following actions:
 City Driving
When stopped for short periods of
time, shift the transmission into NEU-
TRAL but do not increase engine idle
speed.
 Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
 Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily.
Trailer Hitch Attaching Points
Your vehicle will require extra equip-
ment to tow a trailer safely and effi-
ciently. The trailer tow hitch must be
attached to your vehicle using the
provided attaching points on the ve-
hicle's frame. Refer to the following
chart to determine the accurate at-
taching points. Other equipment,
such as trailer sway controls and
braking equipment, trailer equalizing
(leveling) equipment and low profile
mirrors, may also be required or
strongly recommended.
