2013 Lancia Voyager sensor

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system uses two radar-based sensors,
located inside the rear bumper fascia,
to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the ve-
hicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illu-
minate in both outside rear view mir-
rors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM sys-
tem sensors operate when the vehicleis in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers ap-
proximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle or 3.35 m. The zone starts
at the outside rear view mirror and
extends approximately 6 m to the rear
of the vehicle. The BSM system moni-
tors the detection zones on both sides
of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or
higher and will alert the driver of ve-
hicles in these areas.
NOTE:
 The BSM system does NOT alert
the driver about rapidly ap-
proaching vehicles that are out-
side the detection zones.
 The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if your ve-
hicle is towing a trailer. There-
fore, visually verify the adjacent
lane is clear for both your ve-
hicle and trailer before making
a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends beyond the
side of your vehicle, this may re-
sult in the BSM warning light
remaining illuminated the en-
tire time the vehicle is in a for-
ward gear.
The area on the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain
free of snow, ice, and dirt/road con-
tamination so that the BSM system
can function properly. Do not block
the area of the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasion-
ally the system may alert on such ob-
jects. This is normal operation and
your vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the oppo-
site direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system
is only an aid to help detect objects
in the blind spot zones. The BSM
system is not designed to detect pe-
destrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check
your vehicle's mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
REAR CROSS PATH (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when back-
ing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be
blocked. Proceed slowly and cau-
tiously out of the parking space until
the rear end of the vehicle is exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver. RCP monitors the rear detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle, for
objects that are moving toward the
side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 km/h to
3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 16 km/h, such
as in parking lot situations.
NOTE: In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be ob-
scured by vehicles parked on ei-
ther side. If the sensors are
blocked by other structures or ve-
hicles, the system will not be able
to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including reducing the radio volume.

WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the con-
ditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.
PARKSENSE® REAR
PARK ASSIST (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
system provides visual and audible
indications of the distance between
the rear fascia and a detected obstacle
when backing up, e.g. during a park-
ing maneuver. Refer to ParkSense®
System Usage Precautions for limita-
tions of this system and recommenda-
tions. ParkSense® will retain the last sys-
tem state (enabled or disabled) from
the last ignition cycle when the igni-
tion is changed to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
ParkSense® can be active only when
the shift lever is in REVERSE. If
ParkSense® is enabled at this shift
lever position, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is in-
creased to approximately 18 km/h or
above. The system will become active
again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to speeds less than approximately
16 km/h.
PARKSENSE® SENSORS
The four ParkSense® sensors, located
in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the
area behind the vehicle that is within
the sensors’ field of view. The sensors
can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 30 cm up to 200 cm from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location,
type and orientation of the obstacle.PARKSENSE® WARNING
DISPLAY
The ParkSense® Warning screen will
only be displayed if Sound and Dis-
play is selected from the Customer-
Programmable Features section of the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/Personal
Settings (Customer- Programmable
Features)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
The ParkSense® Warning Display is
located in the Instrument cluster’s
EVIC display. It provides both visual
and audible warnings to indicate the
distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and the detected obstacle.

Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. When ParkSense® is disabled, the in-
strument cluster will display the
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” mes-
sage for approximately five seconds.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information. When the shift lever
is moved to REVERSE and the system
is disabled, the EVIC will display the
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
SERVICE THE
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
When the ParkSense® Rear Park As-
sist System is malfunctioning, the in-
strument cluster will actuate a single
chime, once per ignition cycle, and it
will display the “CLEAN PARK AS-
SIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information. When the shift lever
is moved to REVERSE and the system
has detected a faulted condition, the
135

EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK
ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SER-
VICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE. Under this condition,
ParkSense® will not operate.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SEN-
SORS” appears in the EVIC after
making sure the rear fascia/bumper is
free from snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction, see your authorized
dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” appears in the EVIC, see your
authorized dealer.
CLEANING THE
PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense® sensors with
water, car wash soap and a soft cloth.
Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do
not scratch or poke the sensors. Oth-
erwise, you could damage the sensors.PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
 Ensure that the rear bumper is
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and
debris to keep the ParkSense®
system operating properly.
 Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the
performance of ParkSense®.
 When you turn ParkSense® off, the instrument cluster will dis-
play “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF.” Furthermore, once you
turn ParkSense® off, it remains
off until you turn it on again,
even if you cycle the ignition key.
 When you move the shift lever to the REVERSE position and
ParkSense® is turned off, the
EVIC will display “PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF” message for
as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.  ParkSense®, when on, will re-
duce the radio volume when it is
sounding a tone.
 Clean the ParkSense® sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered
with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt
or debris. Failure to do so can
result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense® sys-
tem might not detect an obstacle
behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the
fascia/bumper.
 Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 30 cm from the
rear fascia/bumper while driv-
ing the vehicle. Failure to do so
can result in the system misin-
terpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” message to be displayed
in the EVIC.
136

 On vehicles equipped with atailgate, ParkSense® should be
disabled when the tailgate is in
the lowered or open position
and the vehicle is in REVERSE.
A lowered tailgate could provide
a false indication that an ob-
stacle is behind the vehicle.CAUTION!
 ParkSense® is only a parking aidand it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not de-
tected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will
not be detected when they are in
close proximity.
 The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense® in order
to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense®.
WARNING!
 Drivers must be careful whenbacking up even when using the
Rear Park Assist system. Always
check carefully behind your ve-
hicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, ani-
mals, other vehicles, obstruc-
tions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Before using the Rear Park Assist system, it is strongly recom-
mended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is discon-
nected from the vehicle when the
vehicle is not used for towing.
Failure to do so can result in in-
jury or damage to vehicles or ob-
stacles because the hitch ball will
be much closer to the obstacle
than the rear fascia when the
loudspeaker sounds the continu-
ous tone. Also, the sensors could
detect the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly, depending on its
size and shape, giving a false in-
dication that an obstacle is be-
hind the vehicle.

illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
9. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control sys-
tems. The light will illuminate when
the key is in the ON/RUN position,
before engine start. If the bulb does
not come on when turning the key
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the con-
dition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the MIL after en-
gine start. The vehicle should be ser-
viced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly
or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, card-
board, etc. This could result in
death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.
