2012 Lancia Voyager tow bar

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

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
 Keep all objects a safe distance
from the window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The crossbars on your vehicle are de-
livered stowed within the roof rack
side rails. If adding cargo, deploy the
crossbars. Distribute cargo weight
evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
maximum of 68 kg. The roof rack
does not increase the total load carry-
ing capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load ca-
pacity. The crossbars and side rails are de-
signed to carry weight on vehicles
equipped with a luggage rack. The
load must not exceed 68 kg, and
should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
 Crossbars are error-proofed and
cannot be deployed or stowed in
the incorrect positions.
 To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in the side rails
when they are not in use. DEPLOYING THE
CROSSBARS
To deploy the crossbars, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends
of the crossbar and lift the crossbar
from its stowed position in the side
rail. Repeat with crossbar on the op-
posite side.
CAUTION!
Use care when removing and han-
dling the crossbars to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.

Bend the crossbar supports at each
end, taking care to keep hand clear of
pivoting joint. Slide the thumb screw
down.Then, position the crossbars across
the roof.
NOTE:
The crossbars are identical and
can be placed in any two of the
three deploy positions.Make sure the directional arrows on
the crossbars align with the direc-
tional arrows on the side rails. Set the
crossbars into the deployed positions.
Once the crossbars are set into posi-
tion, tighten the thumb screws com-
pletely.

Stowing the Crossbars
Reverse the procedure to stow the
crossbars, again, taking care to keep
hand clear of pivoting joint. Crossbars
are identical and can be stowed in
either rail nest. Once the crossbars are
stowed, tighten the thumb screws
completely.
NOTE:
Load should always be secured to
crossbars first, with rail tie down
loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are in-
tended as supplementary tie down
points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops.
CAUTION!
 Check deployed crossbars fre-quently and retighten thumb
screws as necessary.
 To avoid damage to the roof rack
and vehicle, do not exceed the
maximum roof rack load capacity
of 68 kg. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.
 To prevent damage to the roof of
your vehicle, DO NOT carry any
loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed.
 The load should be secured and
placed on top of the crossbars, not
directly on the roof. If it is neces-
sary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective
layer between the load and the
roof surface.
 Long loads which extend over the
windshield, such as wood panels
or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to
both the front and rear of the ve-
hicle.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Travel at reduced speeds and turn
corners carefully when carrying
large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward lift to a load.
This is especially true on large flat
loads and may result in damage to
the cargo or your vehicle.WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before
driving your vehicle. Improperly se-
cured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting
in personal injury or property dam-
age. Follow the Roof Rack Cautions
when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
Rail Tie Loops

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.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for the purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws applying to vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion.
CAUTION!
 Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.
 When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
 Do not push or tow this vehicle
with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
 If the vehicle being towed requires
steering, the ignition switch must
be in the ON/RUN position, not
the LOCK/OFF or ACC positions. The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed. If
flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is operable, the
vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions:
 The shift lever must be in NEU-
TRAL.
 The distance to be traveled must not exceed 24 km.
 The towing speed must not exceed 40 km/h.
