2012 Lancia Voyager Owner handbook (in English)

If you do have a collision which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
 The nylon air bag material maysometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
 As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pre-
tensioners cannot protect you in an-
other collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the
driver and front seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an autho-
rized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) system serviced as well. Maintaining Your Air Bag System
WARNING!
 Modifications to any part of the
air bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering
wheel hub trim cover or the upper
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af-
termarket side steps or running
boards.
 It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system your-
self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.

WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not attempt to modify any part
of your air bag system. The air
bag may inflate accidentally or
may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser-
vice. If your seat including your
trim cover and cushion needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take the
vehicle to your authorized dealer.
Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is
necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabili-
ties, contact your authorized
dealer.
Air Bag Warning Light You will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-
sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo- nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free, if
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
 The Air Bag Warning Light does
not come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
 The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to eight-second
interval.
 The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on
while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or
any engine related gauges are not
working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be dis-
abled. The air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protec-
tion. Promptly check the fuse
block for blown fuses. Refer to the
label located on the inside of the
fuse block cover for the proper air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
EVENT DATA RECORDER
(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to ve-
hicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
 How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and pas- senger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.52

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your ve-
hicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are re-
corded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no per-
sonal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac-
cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR.CHILD RESTRAINTS
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including ba-
bies and children.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat. According to crash statistics,
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats rather than
in the front.
WARNING!
 “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward-facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an air bag in
front of it!” Refer to visor
mounted labels for information.
 In a collision, an unrestrained
child, even a tiny baby, can be-
come a projectile inside the ve-
hicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could
not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and oth-
ers could be badly injured. Any
child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the
child's size.

Infants And Small Children
Safety experts recommend that chil-
dren ride rearward-facing in the ve-
hicle until they are two years old or
until they reach either the height or
weight limit of their rear facing child
safety seat. Two types of child re-
straints can be used rearward-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.
The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible
child seats can be used either
rearward-facing or forward-facing in
the vehicle. Convertible child seats of-
ten have a higher weight limit in therearward-facing direction than infant
carriers do, so they can be used
rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but
are still less than at least two years
old. Children should remain
rearward-facing until they reach the
highest weight or height allowed by
their convertible child seat. Both
types of child restraints are held in the
vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the
ISOFIX child restraint anchor system.
Refer to “ISOFIX — Child Seat An-
chorage System”.
WARNING!
 Rearward-facing child seats must
never be used in the front seat of a
vehicle with a front passenger air
bag. An air bag deployment could
cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
Older Children And Child
Restraints
Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing con-
vertible child seat can ride forward-
facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing
child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction
are for children who are over two
years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of
their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a har-
ness for as long as possible, up to the
highest weight or height allowed by
the child seat. These child seats are
also held in the vehicle by the lap/
shoulder belt or the ISOFIX child re-
straint anchorage system. Refer to
“ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System”.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-
positioning booster seat until the ve-
hicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over
the vehicle's seat cushion while the
child's back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt-
positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
56

Children Too Large For Booster
Seats
Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback,
should use the lap/shoulder belt in a
rear seat.
 Make sure that the child is uprightin the seat.
 The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible.
 Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position.
 If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle. If this
doesn't help, move the child to the
center rear seating position and use
both the lap and shoulder belt.
Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or be-
hind their back.
WARNING!
 Improper installation can lead tofailure of an infant or child re-
straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.
 A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat may be struck by
a deploying passenger air bag
which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant.
Here are some tips on getting the
most out of your child restraint:
 Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certi-
fying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. LANCIA also
recommends that you make sure
that you can install the child re-
straint in the vehicle where you will
use it, before you buy it.  The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's weight and height.
Check the label on the restraint for
weight and height limits.
 Carefully follow the instructions that come with the restraint. If you
install the restraint improperly, it
may not work when you need it.
 Passenger seat belts are equipped with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) designed to keep the lap
portion tight around the child re-
straint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip. In seating posi-
tions that are equipped with an
ALR retractor, it will make a ratch-
eting noise after all the webbing is
extracted and allowed to return
back. For additional information,
refer to “Automatic Locking
Mode”.
 In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re-
straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
57

buckle end of the belt several times
to shorten it. Insert the latch plate
into the buckle with the release but-
ton facing out.
 If the belt still can't be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can't make the
child restraint secure, try a differ-
ent seating position.
 Buckle the child into the seat ac- cording to the child restraint manu-
facturer's directions.WARNING!
When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident,
it could strike the occupants or seat-
backs and cause serious personal in-
jury. ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System
Each vehicle, except com-
mercial cargo vehicles, is
equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. Two ISOFIX child re-
straint anchorage systems are in-
stalled on all second-row seats and in
the center position on all third row
fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats
also feature tether strap anchorages,
located in the rear surface of the seat-
back. In addition, all third row fold-
in-floor seats are equipped with a
child restraint tether anchor at the
center seating position.
NOTE:
 When using the ISOFIX attach- ing system to install a child re-
straint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for oc-
cupant restraints are stowed and
out of reach of children. It is
recommended that before in-
stalling the child restraint,
buckle the seat belt so the seat
belt is tucked behind the child
restraint and out of reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with
the child restraint installation,
instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, route
the seat belt through the child
restraint belt path and then
buckle it. This should stow the
seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all
children in the vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and
should not be played with, and
never leave your child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
 If your child restraint seat is not ISOFIX-compatible, install the
restraint using the vehicle seat
belts.
Installing the Lower Attachments:
1. The vehicle lower anchorages are
round bars located at the rear of the
seat cushion where it meets the seat-
back.
2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
child restraint attachment straps (ref-
erence the child restraint seat instruc-
tions) to ease the installation.58
