2013 Lancia Voyager wiper blades

NOTE: This system will not acti-
vate until the vehicle is at, or
above, 40 km/h.
HEADLIGHT LEVELING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)Your vehicle may be
equipped with a headlight
leveling system. This sys-
tem allows the driver to
maintain proper headlight beam posi-
tion with the road surface regardless
of vehicle load. The control switch is
located on the instrument panel next
to the dimmer control.
To operate, rotate the control switch
until the appropriate number, which
corresponds to the load listed on the
chart, aligns with the indicator line on
the switch.
0 Driver only, or driver and front passenger.

AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are operated
by a switch within the multifunction
lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc-
tion lever to select the desired wiper
speed.
NOTE: Always remove any
buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from re-
turning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned
off and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.

RAIN SENSING WIPERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature senses moisture on the
windshield and automatically acti-
vates the wipers for the driver. This
feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the five intermittent
wiper sensitivity settings to activate
this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjust-
able from the multifunction lever.
Wiper sensitivity position 3 has been
calibrated for best overall wiping sen-
sitivity. If the operator desires more
wiping sensitivity, they may select
sensitivity positions 4 or 5. If the op-
erator desires less wiping sensitivity,
they may select sensitivity positions 2
or 1. Place the multifunction lever in
the OFF position when not using the
system.NOTE:
 The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the wiper
speed is in the low or high posi-
tion.
 The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly when ice
or dried saltwater is present on
the windshield.
 Use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce rain sen-
sor performance.
 The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off through the
EVIC (for versions/markets,
where provided). Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further
information. The Rain Sensing system has protec-
tive features for the wiper blades and
arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:

Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit
— The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is
first switched ON, and the vehicle is
stationary, and the outside tem-
perature is below 0°C, unless the
wiper control on the multifunction
lever is moved, or the vehicle speed
becomes greater than 0 km/h, or
the outside temperature rises above
freezing.
 Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is ON, and the
transmission shift lever is in the
NEUTRAL position, and the ve-
hicle speed is less than 8 km/h,
unless the wiper control on the mul-
tifunction lever is moved or the
shift lever is moved out of the NEU-
TRAL position.

BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, in-
cluding such items as seat tracks, door
hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate,
tailgate, sliding doors and hood
hinges, should be lubricated periodi-
cally with a lithium-based grease or
equivalent, to assure quiet, easy op-
eration and to protect against rust and
wear. Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil and
grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other un-
derhood services, the hood latch, re-
lease mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be
lubricated twice a year, preferably in
the Fall and Spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant
directly into the lock cylinder.
CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road
film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause deteriora-
tion of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to
remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact
with petroleum products such as en-
gine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper
blades varies depending on geo-
graphical area and frequency of
use. Examples of poor blade per-
formance include chattering,
marks, water lines, and wet spots.
If any of these conditions are pres-
ent, clean the wiper blades or re-
place as necessary.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield, rear window, and
headlamp washers share a common
fluid reservoir. It is located in the en-
gine compartment and should be
checked at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer sol-
vent (not radiator antifreeze) and op-
erate the system for a few seconds to
flush out any residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, apply some washer fluid to a
cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade per-
formance.
