2013 Lancia Voyager Owner handbook (in English)

 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 ex-
actly when installing an infant or
child restraint.

WARNING!(Continued)
 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
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,
59

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 colli-
sion, it could strike the occupants
or seatbacks and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
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.
NOTE: It is recommended to
loosen the top tether strap and
route it loosely prior to securing
the lower anchors so the top tether
strap is not trapped between the
vehicle seat and child restraint.60

3. Attach the lower child restraint at-
tachment straps to the vehicle’s lower
anchor bars. Ensure that the lower
attachment strap is firmly engaged
and that the hook is secure.
4. Tighten the lower attachment
strap while firmly pushing the child
restraint rearward and downward
into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack
in the lower attachment straps. Refer-
ence the child restraint instructions
for information on properly removing
slack.Installing the Top Tether Strap
(with either Lower Anchors or Ve-
hicle Seat Belt):
1. Route the top tether strap under
the adjustable head restraint between
the steel posts.
2. Provide enough slack (reference
child restraint instructions) for the
tether strap to reach the tether anchor
located near the bottom of the seat
back.
3. Clip tether hook to tether anchor.
Ensure that the hook is firmly en-
gaged and secure.
4. Remove all slack and tighten
tether strap according to child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.NOTE: The top tether strap is al-
ways to be secured, regardless of if
the child restraint is installed with
the lower anchors or the vehicle
seat belt.ISOFIX Anchorages (Second Row

WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether
strap could lead to increased head
motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchor positions
directly behind the child seat to se-
cure a child restraint top tether
strap.
NOTE: If your child restraint seat
is not ISOFIX-compatible, install
the restraint using the vehicle seat
belts.
Because the lower anchorages are to
be introduced to passenger carrying
vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint systems having attachments
for those anchorages will continue to
have features for installation in ve-
hicles using the lap or lap/shoulder
belt. They will also have tether straps,
and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachments
provided with your child restraint in
any vehicle.
NOTE: When using the ISOFIX
attaching system to install a child
restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occu-
pant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing 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 in-
terferes with the child restraint in-
stallation, instead of tucking the
seat belt behind the child re-
straint, 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 chil-
dren in the vehicle that the seat
belts are not toys and should not be
played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.
Installing The Child Restraint
Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with an Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) to se-
cure a Child Restraint System (CRS).
These types of seat belts are designed
to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise
if you extract the entire belt from the
retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. For addi-
tional information on ALR, refer to
“Automatic Locking Mode”. The chart
below defines the seating positions
with an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) or a cinching latch plate.

 ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac- tor
Installing a Child Restraint with an
ALR:
1. To install a child restraint with
ALR, first, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to route it
62

through the belt path of the child re-
straint. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.” Next,
extract all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a ratcheting
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
2. Finally, pull on any excess web-
bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint. Any seat belt sys-
tem will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Installing a Child Restraint with a
Cinching Latch Plate:
1. To install a child restraint with a
cinching latch plate, first, pull enough
of the seat belt webbing from the re-
tractor to route it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Slide the
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.”2. Finally, pull on any excess web-
bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint. Any seat belt sys-
tem will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
 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
buckle-end belt several times to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into
the buckle with the release button
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. To attach a child restraint tether
strap:
 Route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path for the strap
between the anchor and the child
seat, preferably between the head
restraint posts underneath the head
restraint.
Installing The Child Restraint
System
We urge you to carefully follow the
directions of the manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Many,
but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each
side, with each having a hook or con-
nector, and a means for adjusting the
tension in the strap. Forward-facing
toddler restraints and some rearward-
facing infant restraints will also be
equipped with a tether strap, a hook
and means for adjusting the tension in
the strap. Not all child restraint sys-
tems will be installed as described
here. Again, carefully follow the in-
stallation instructions that are pro-
vided with the child restraint system.
63

In general, you will first loosen the
child seat adjusters on the lower
straps and tether straps so that you
can more easily attach the hook or
connector to the lower anchorages
and tether anchorages. Then tighten
all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.
Not all child restraint systems will be
installed as we have described here.
Again, carefully follow the instruc-
tions that come with the child re-
straint system.WARNING!
Improper installation of a child re-
straint to the ISOFIX anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet could be thrown about and possi-
bly injured, or injure a passenger dur-
ing panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required
for the engine and drivetrain (trans-
mission and axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first
500 km. After the initial 100 km,
speeds up to 80 or 90 km/h are desir-
able.
While cruising, brief full-throttle ac-
celeration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with an-
ticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST
NEVER BE USED.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilome-
ters of operation. This should be con-
sidered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as an indication of
difficulty.
Additional Requirements
For Diesel Engine
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle. Do
not exceed 2/3 of the maximum per-
missible engine speed for each gear.
Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to
brake.

SAFETY TIPS
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSEN-
GERS IN THE CARGO AREA.WARNING!
 Do not leave children or animalsinside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or
death.
 It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside
of a vehicle. 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.
(Continued)Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poi-
son you. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:
 Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
 If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make
sure that all windows are closed
and the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.
 If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed. The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when ex-
haust fumes can be detected inside the
vehicle, or when the underside or rear
of the vehicle is damaged, have a com-
petent mechanic inspect the complete
exhaust system and adjacent body ar-
eas for broken, damaged, deteriorated,
or mispositioned parts. Open seams or
loose connections could permit ex-
haust fumes to seep into the passenger
compartment. In addition, inspect the
exhaust system each time the vehicle is
raised for lubrication or oil change.
Replace as required.Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
65

Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning LightThe light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable. Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
 Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the ve-
hicle that cannot be properly se-
cured to prevent them from mov-
ing and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of already
installed floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the ped-
als.
 Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver foot-
well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.
 If required, mounting posts must be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
