2014 Lancia Voyager warning

WARNING!
It is important that you do not ex-
ceed the maximum front or rear
GAWR. A dangerous driving condi-
tion can result if either rating is
exceeded. You could lose control of
the vehicle and have an accident.
Trailer Tongue Weight (TW)
The tongue weight is the downward
force exerted on the hitch ball by the
trailer. In most cases, it should not be
less than 7% or more than 10% of the
trailer load. Trailer tongue weight
must not exceed the lesser of either the
hitch certification rating, or the trailer
tongue chassis rating. It should never
be less than 4% of the trailer load, and
not less than 25 kg. You must consider
tongue load as part of the load on your
vehicle and its GAWR.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted hitch sys-
tem may reduce handling, stability
and braking performance and
could result in an accident. Consult
with your hitch and trailer manu-
facturer or a reputable trailer/
caravan dealer for additional infor-
mation.
Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum
height multiplied by the maximum
width of the front of a trailer.
BREAKAWAY CABLE
ATTACHMENT
European braking regulations for
braked trailers up to 3 500 kg, require
trailers to be fitted with either a sec-
ondary coupling or breakaway cable.
The recommended location for at-
taching the normal trailer's break-
away cable is in the stamped slot lo-
cated on the sidewall of the hitch
receiver. 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.

total load on your vehicle. Refer to
the Tire and Loading Information
placard, located on the drivers
door pillar, for the maximum com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo for your vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your
new vehicle drivetrain components
the following guidelines are recom-
mended:
CAUTION!
Do not tow a trailer at all duringthe first 805 km the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other
parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first 805 km that a trailer is towed, do not
drive over 80 km/h and do not
make starts at full throttle. This
helps the engine and other parts
of the vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to an in-
jury accident. Follow these guide-
lines to make your trailer towing as
safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is se-cured in the trailer and that it will
not shift during travel. When
trailering cargo that is not fully
secured, dynamic load shifts can
occur that may be difficult for the
driver to control. You could lose
control of your vehicle and have
an accident.
All trailer hitches should be pro- fessionally installed on your ve-
hicle.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your ve-
hicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor per-
formance, or damage to brakes,
axle, engine, transmission, steer-
ing, suspension, chassis structure,
or tires.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Safety chains must always beused between your vehicle and
trailer. Always connect the chains
to the frame or hook retainers of
the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains
under the trailer tongue and al-
low enough slack for turning cor-
ners.
Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When
parking, apply the parking brake
on the tow vehicle. Always, block
or "chock" the trailer wheels.
GCWR must not be exceeded.
Total weight must be distrib-
uted between the tow vehicle
and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not
exceeded:
1. GVWR
2. GTW
3. GAWR
4. Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized.

Towing Requirements – Tires
Do not attempt to tow a trailerwhile using a compact spare tire.
Proper tire inflation pressures are essential for the safe and satisfac-
tory operation of your vehicle. Re-
fer to “Tires – General Informa-
tion” in “Starting and Operating”
for proper tire inflation procedures.
Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before
trailer usage.
Check for signs of tire wear or vis- ible tire damage before towing a
trailer. Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Starting and Op-
erating” for the proper inspection
procedure.
When replacing tires, refer to “Tires – General Information” in “Start-
ing and Operating” for proper tire
replacement procedures. Replacing
tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehi-
cle's GVWR and GAWR limits. Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
–Do
notinterconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
– When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake
controller is not required.
– Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 450 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
750 kg.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than
450 kg loaded, it should have its
own brakes, and they should be of
adequate capacity. Failure to do
this could lead to accelerated brake
lining wear, higher brake pedal ef-
fort, and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes toyour vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an ac-
cident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When
towing, you should allow for ad-
ditional space between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of
you. Failure to do so could result
in an accident.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stop lights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a seven-pin or a thirteen-pin wiring
harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring
into the vehicles wiring harness.

HAZARD WARNING
FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is
located in the lower center area of the
instrument panel.Press the switch to turn on the
Hazard Warning flasher.
When the switch is activated, all di-
rectional turn signals will flash on and
off to warn oncoming traffic of an
emergency. Press the switch a second
time to turn off the Hazard Warning
flashers.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the Hazard Warning
flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
NOTE: With extended use the
Hazard Warning flashers may
wear down your battery.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you
can reduce the potential for overheat-
ing by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEU-
TRAL, but do not increase engine
idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you
can take to slow down an impend-
ing overheat condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system
adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off
can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the tempera- ture control to maximum heat,
the mode control to floor and the
blower control to high. This al-
lows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and
aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If tem-
perature gauge reads “H”, pull over
and stop the vehicle. Idle the ve-
hicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H”, turn
the engine off immediately, and call
for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned
by hot engine coolant (antifreeze)
or steam from your radiator. If you
see or hear steam coming from un-
der the hood, do not open the hood
until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the ra-
diator or coolant bottle is hot.

WHEEL AND TIRE
TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very im-
portant to ensure that the wheel is
properly mounted to the vehicle. Any
time a wheel has been removed and
reinstalled on the vehicle the lug nuts/
bolts should be torqued using a prop-
erly calibrated torque wrench.
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Lug Nut/Bolt
Torque **Lug
Nut/Bolt
Size Lug
Nut/Bolt Socket Size
135 N·m M12 x

**Use only LANCIA recommended
lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove
any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface
prior to mounting the tire and remove
any corrosion or loose particles. Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star
pattern until each nut/bolt has been
tightened twice.
After 40 km check the lug nut/bolt
torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the
wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not tighten the
lug nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in personal in-
jury.
JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to avoid the danger of
being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.

WARNING!(Continued)
Being under a jacked-up vehicleis dangerous. The vehicle could
slip off the jack and fall on you.
You could be crushed. Never put
any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle,
take it to a service center where it
can be raised on a lift.
Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
The jack is designed to be used as a tool for changing tires only. The
jack should not be used to lift the
vehicle for service purposes. The
vehicle should be jacked on a firm
level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
JACK LOCATION
The jack, jack handle and winch
handle tools are stowed behind the
rear left side trim panel in the rear
cargo area. Turn the two cover latches
to release the cover. Remove the pouch containing the
scissors jack, jack handle, and tools.
SPARE TIRE REMOVAL
The spare tire is stowed inside a protec-
tive cover located under the center of
the vehicle between the front doors by
means of a cable winch mechanism.
The “spare tire drive” nut is located on
the floor, under a plastic cap at the
front of the floor console or under front
super console forward bin liner.
TO ACCESS SPARE TIRE
WINCH DRIVE NUT
To access the spare tire winch drive
nut and lower the spare tire, you will
need to refer to one of the following
center console configurations.
Super Console
For vehicles equipped with the Super
Console, the spare tire winch assem-
bly drive nut is located beneath the
console.
1. Pull the lower drawer out from the
rear of the floor console to gain clear
access of the tire winch drive nut.

2. Rotate the nut to the left until the
winch mechanism stops turning
freely. This will allow enough slack in
the cable to allow you to pull the spare
tire out from underneath the vehicle.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed
for use with the winch T-handle
only. Use of an air wrench or other
power tools is not recommended
and can damage the winch.
3. To remove the compact spare tire/
cover assembly, assemble the winch
T-handle extensions to form a spare
tire hook, and pull the spare tire out
from under the vehicle. NOTE: If either front tire is flat it
may be necessary to jack up the
vehicle to remove the compact
spare tire/cover assembly from
under the vehicle.
4. Stand the tire/cover assembly up-
right and remove the wheel spacer by
squeezing the winch retaining tabs to-
gether. Push the retainer through the
spare tire to release it from the wheel.
PREPARATIONS FOR
JACKING
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level
surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to mov-
ing traffic, pull far enough off the
road to avoid being hit when oper-
ating the jack or changing the
wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the
front and rear of
the wheel diago-
nally opposite the
jacking position.
For example, if
changing the right
front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not
remain in the vehicle when the ve-
hicle is being jacked.
