2013 Lancia Voyager Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING!
 It is dangerous to ride in a cargoarea, inside or outside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
 Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
 Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are de-
signed to go around the large
bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and
can take the forces of a collision
the best.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in
a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of part of
the belt. Follow these instructions
to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.
 Two people should never be
belted into a single seat belt.
People belted together can crash
into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never
use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt
for more than one person, no
matter what their size.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions
1. Enter the vehicle and close the
door. Sit back and adjust the seat.
2. The seat belt latch plate is near the
seatback of the front seats and next to
your arm in the rear seats. Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide
the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go
around your lap.
WARNING!
 A belt that is worn under your
arm is dangerous. Your body
could strike the inside surfaces of
the vehicle in a collision, increas-
ing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren't as
strong as shoulder bones. Wear
the belt over your shoulder so that
your strongest bones will take the
force in a collision.
(Continued)Pulling Out Belt and Latch Plate

WARNING!(Continued)
 A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from in-
jury during a collision. You are
more likely to hit your head in a
collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoul-
der belt are meant to be used to-
gether.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit,
insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click”.
WARNING!
 A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you
properly. The lap portion could
ride too high on your body, possi-
bly causing internal injuries. Al-
ways buckle your belt into the
buckle nearest you.
 A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden
stop you could move too far for-
ward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
4. Position the lap belt across your
thighs, below your abdomen. To re-
move slack in the lap belt portion, pull
up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in a collision.
WARNING!
 A lap belt worn too high can in- crease the risk of internal injury
in a collision. The belt forces
won't be at the strong hip and
pelvic bones, but across your ab-
domen. Always wear the lap belt
as low as possible and keep it
snug.
 A twisted belt may not protect you properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle
Removing Slack From Belt
36

5. Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the belt.
6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed po-
sition. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart
in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immedi-
ately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if
they have been damaged (bent re-
tractor, torn webbing, etc.).Third Row Center Shoulder Belt
Instructions
The shoulder belt for the third row
center seat is located in the headliner
slightly behind the third row seat.
Pull the strap down and secure the
small latch plate of the lap belt into
the small buckle until you hear a
“click”.
Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. When the belt is
long enough to fit , insert the large
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.” The retractor should
withdraw any slack in the belt.
To release the small latch plate, posi-
tion the end of the large latch plate
against the red button on the small
latch plate and push upward. Rein-
stall the latch plates into the head-
liner. Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to un-
twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web-
bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seats and the second row
outboard seats, the shoulder belt an-
chorage can be adjusted upward or
downward to help position the belt
away from your neck. The upper an-
chorage can be adjusted upward by
pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
To move the anchorage downward,
squeeze the actuation buttons while
simultaneously pushing down on the
anchorage assembly.As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage, try
to move it up or down to make sure
that it is locked in position.
SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with Auto-
matic Locking Retractors (ALR)which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child Re-
straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.

equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to
not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting sound as the belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant's mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a

AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)
In this mode, the shoulder belt is au-
tomatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on all passenger-
seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety
seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Chil-
dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto-
matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.
WARNING!
 The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.
 Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE
This vehicle has a safety belt system
with an energy management feature
in the front seating positions to help
further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. This
safety belt system has a retractor as-
sembly that is designed to release
webbing in a controlled manner. This
feature is designed to help reduce the
belt force acting on the occupant’s
chest.
WARNING!
 The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.
 Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat 39

belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
NOTE: These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt
placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly
and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC). Like the air bags, the preten-
sioners are single use items. A de-
ployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.
SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVE
HEAD RESTRAINTS (AHR)
These head restraints are passive, de-
ployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic.How The Active Head Restraints
(AHR) Work
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines whether the sever-
ity, or type of rear impact will require
the Active Head Restraints (AHR) to
deploy. If a rear impact requires de-
ployment, both the driver and front
passenger seat AHRs will be de-
ployed.
When AHRs deploy during a rear im-
pact, the front half of the head re-
straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu-
pant’s head and the AHR. This system
is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
front passenger in certain types of
rear impacts.
NOTE: The Active Head Re-
straints (AHR) may or may not de-
ploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front
impact, a secondary rear impact
occurs, the AHR may deploy based
on several factors, including the
severity and type of the impact.
CAUTION!
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in
a vehicle's seat until the head re-
straints are placed in their proper
positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a
collision.
NOTE: For more information on
properly adjusting and positioning
the head restraint, refer to “Ad-
justing Active Head Restraints” in1 — Head Re-
straint Front Half

Trim) 3 — Head Re-
straint Back Half

“Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle”.
Resetting Active Head Restraints
(AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are trig-
gered in a collision, you must reset the
head restraint on the driver’s and
front passenger seat. You can recog-
nize when the Active Head Restraint
has been triggered by the fact that
they have moved forward (as shown
in step three of the resetting proce-
dure).
1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the
rear seat.
2. Position the hands on the top of
the deployed AHR at a comfortable
position.3. Pull
downthenrearward to-
wards the rear of the vehicle then
down to engage the locking mecha-
nism.
4. The AHR front soft foam and trim
half should lock into the back decora-
tive plastic half. NOTE:
 If you have difficulties or prob-
lems resetting the Active Head
Restraints, see an authorized
dealer.
 For safety reasons, have the Ac- tive Head Restraints checked by
a qualified specialist at an au-
thorized dealer.
ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el-
evating the vehicle’s hood upon an
impact with a pedestrian or other ob-
ject. The system is automatically acti-
vated when the vehicle is moving
within a specified vehicle speed range.

In order to detect a range of pedestri-
ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy-
ment.
Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Electronic Pedestrian Protection
Module (EPPM) determines if deploy-
ment of the actuators in a frontal im-
pact is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, the EPPM determines
when to deploy the actuators. The
impact sensors are located within the
front bumper area.
The EPPM monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.
The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.Service Active Hood System
If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag-
nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re-
cord the nature of the malfunction. If
the Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac-
tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.
