2014 Lancia Voyager inflation pressure

exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if
subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary
with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approxi-
mately 7 kPa per 7°C of air tempera-
ture change. Keep this in mind when
checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in the winter.
Example: If garage temperature =
20°C and the outside temperature =
0°C then the cold tire inflation pres-
sure should be increased by 21 kPa,
which equals 7 kPa for every 7°C for
this outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 13 to
40 kPa during operation. DO NOT
reduce this normal pressure build up
or your tire pressure will be too low.Tire Pressures For High
Speed Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving
at safe speeds and within posted speed
limits. Where speed limits or condi-
tions are such that the vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, maintaining
correct tire inflation pressure is very
important. Increased tire pressure
and reduced vehicle loading may be
required for high-speed vehicle op-
eration. Refer to your authorized tire
dealer or original equipment vehicle
dealer for recommended safe operat-
ing speeds, loading and cold tire infla-
tion pressures.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your ve-
hicle under maximum load is dan-
gerous. The added strain on your
tires could cause them to fail. You
could have a serious collision. Do
not drive a vehicle loaded to the
maximum capacity at continuous
speeds above 120 km/h.
Radial Ply Tires
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with
other types of tires on your vehicle
will cause your vehicle to handle
poorly. The instability could cause
a collision. Always use radial ply
tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may
be repaired if it meets the following
criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.
The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall dam-
age is not repairable).
The puncture is no greater than 6 mm.
Consult an authorized tire dealer for
tire repairs and additional informa-
tion.
260

Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat
tires that have experienced a loss of
pressure should be replaced immedi-
ately with another Run Flat tire of
identical size and service description
(Load Index and Speed Code).
Tire Types
All Season Tires (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
All Season tires provide traction for
all seasons (spring, summer, fall and
winter). Traction levels may vary be-
tween different all season tires. All
season tires can be identified by the
M+S, M&S, M/S or MS designation on
the tire sidewall. Use all season tires
only in sets of four; failure to do so
may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Summer tires provide traction in both
wet and dry conditions, and are not
intended to be driven in snow or on
ice. If your vehicle is equipped withsummer tires, be aware these tires are
not designed for winter or cold driving
conditions. For more information,
contact a authorized dealer. Summer
tires do not contain the all season
designation or mountain/snowflake
symbol on the tire sidewall.
Use summer tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect
the safety and handling of your ve-
hicle.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the
use of snow tires during the winter.
Snow tires can be identified by a
mountain/snowflake symbol on the
tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires
equivalent in size and type to the
original equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four; failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed
ratings than what was originally
equipped with your vehicle and
should not be operated at sustained
speeds over 120 km/h. For speeds
above 120 km/h refer to original
equipment or an authorized tire
dealer for recommended safe operat-
ing speeds, loading and cold tire infla-
tion pressures.
While studded tires improve perfor-
mance on ice, skid and traction capa-
bility on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded tires.
Some states prohibit studded tires;
therefore, local laws should be
checked before using these tire types.
Run Flat Tires (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Run Flat tires allow you the capability
to drive 80 km at 80 km/h after a
rapid loss of inflation pressure. This
rapid loss of inflation is referred to as
the Run Flat mode. A Run Flat mode
occurs when the tire inflation pressure
is of/or below 96 kPa. Once a Run
Flat tire reaches the run flat mode it
has limited driving capabilities and
needs to be replaced immediately. A
Run Flat tire is not repairable.
261

Full Size Spare (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The full size spare is for temporary
emergency use only. This tire may
look like the originally equipped tire
on the front or rear axle of your ve-
hicle, but it is not. This spare tire may
have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indi-
cators, the temporary use full size
spare tire needs to be replaced. Since
it is not the same as your original
equipment tire, replace (or repair) the
original equipment tire and reinstall
on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited-Use Spare (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The limited-use spare tire is for tem-
porary emergency use only. This tire is
identified by a label located on the
limited-use spare wheel. This label
contains the driving limitations for
this spare. This tire may look like the
original equipped tire on the front orrear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
Installation of this limited-use spare
tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is
not the same as your original equip-
ment tire, replace (or repair) the origi-
nal equipment tire and reinstall on the
vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited-use spares are for emer-
gency use only. Installation of this
limited-use spare tire affects ve-
hicle handling. With this tire, do
not drive more than the speed listed
on the limit-use spare wheel. Keep
inflated to the cold tire inflation
pressures listed on your Tire and
Loading Information Placard lo-
cated on the driver’s side B-Pillar or
the rear edge of the driver’s side
door. Replace (or repair) the origi-
nal equipment tire at the first op-
portunity and reinstall it on your
vehicle. Failure to do so could result
in loss of vehicle control.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice
conditions, do not spin your vehicle's
wheels above 48 km/h or for longer
than 30 seconds continuously without
stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in
“In an emergency” for further infor-
mation.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be danger-
ous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause tire dam-
age or failure. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin
your vehicle's wheels faster than
48 km/h for more than 30 seconds
continuously when you are stuck,
and do not let anyone near a spin-
ning wheel, no matter what the
speed.
263

Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the origi-
nal equipment tires to help you in
determining when your tires should
be replaced.
These indicators are molded into the
bottom of the tread grooves. They will
appear as bands when the tread depth
becomes 2 mm. When the tread is
worn to the tread wear indicators, the
tire should be replaced. Refer to “Re-
placement Tires” in this section for
further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent
upon varying factors including, but
not limited to:
Driving style
Tire pressure
Distance driven
Performance tires, tires with aspeed rating of V or higher, and
summer tires typically have a re-
duced tread life. Rotation of these
tires per the vehicle maintenance
schedule is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be
replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to
follow this warning can result in
sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision result-
ing in serious injury or death. Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry
place with as little exposure to light as
possible. Protect tires from contact
with oil, grease, and gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide
a balance of many characteristics.
They should be inspected regularly
for wear and correct cold tire inflation
pressure. The manufacturer strongly
recommends that you use tires
equivalent to the originals in size,
quality and performance when re-
placement is needed. Refer to the
paragraph on “Tread Wear Indica-
tors”. Refer to the Tire and Loading
Information placard or the Vehicle
Certification Label for the size desig-
nation of your tire. The Load Index
and Speed Symbol for your tire will be
found on the original equipment tire
sidewall. See the Tire Sizing Chart
example found in the Tire Safety In-
formation section of this manual for
more information relating to the Load
Index and Speed Symbol of a tire.

with a maximum projection of
6 mm beyond the tire profile.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type
(M+S, Snow) between front and
rear axles can cause unpredictable
handling. You could lose control
and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or
tires, observe the following precau-
tions:
Because of restricted traction de-vice clearance between tires and
other suspension components, it
is important that only traction
devices in good condition are
used. Broken devices can cause
serious damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate device breakage.
Remove the damaged parts of the
device before further use.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Install device as tightly as pos-sible and then retighten after
driving about 0.8 km.
Do not exceed 48 km/h.
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pavement.
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s instructions on
the method of installation, oper-
ating speed, and conditions for
use. Always use the suggested op-
erating speed of the device manu-
facturer’s if it is less than
48 km/h.
Do not use traction devices on a compact spare tire.
TIRE ROTATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
The tires on the front and rear of your
vehicle operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these rea-
sons, they wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by
timely rotation of tires. The benefits
of rotation are especially worthwhile
with aggressive tread designs such as
those on all season type tires. Rotation
will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow and wet traction lev-
els, and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride.
NOTE: Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear.
TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR SYSTEM
(TPMS)
The TPMS will warn the driver of a
low tire pressure based on the cold
inflation tire pressure requirements
found on the tire placard located on
the driver's-side B-pillar.
The tire pressure will vary with tem-
perature by about 0.07 BAR for every
7°C. This means that when the out-
side temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will decrease. Tire pressure
266

should always be set based on cold
inflation tire pressure. This is defined
as the tire pressure after a vehicle has
not been driven for more than three
hours - and in outside ambient tem-
perature.Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Starting and Op-
erating” for information on how to
properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as
the vehicle is driven - this is normal
and there should be no adjustment for
this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a
low tire pressure if the tire pressure
falls below the low pressure warning
threshold for any reason, including
low temperature effects, or natural air
pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the
driver of low tire pressure as long as
the condition exists, and will not turn
off until the tire pressure is at or above
recommended cold tire placard pres-
sure. Once the low tire pressure warn-
ing has been illuminated, the tire
pressure must be increased to the rec-
ommended cold tire placard pressure in order for the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” to be turned off.
The system will automatically update
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will extinguish once
the updated tire pressures have been
received. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above
24 km/h to receive this information.
For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more
than three hours) tire pressure of 2.4
BAR. If the ambient temperature is
20°C and the measured tire pressure
is 2.1 BAR, a temperature drop to
-7°C will decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 1.8 BAR. This tire
pressure is sufficiently low enough to
turn on the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle
may cause the tire pressure to rise to
approximately 2.1 BAR, but the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will still be on. In this situation, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will turn off only after the tires
have been inflated to the vehicle’s rec-
ommended cold tire pressure value.CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized
for the original equipment tires
and wheels. TPMS pressures have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Unde-
sirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can
cause sensor damage. It is recom-
mended not to use aftermarket
sealants or balance beads if your
vehicle is equipped with a TPMS,
as damage to the sensors may re-
sult. In case of use of aftermarket
tire sealants not equivalent to the
original TIREFIT sealant, please
take your vehicle to a authorized
dealer to have the sensor function
checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could dam-
age the TPMS sensor.
267

NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to re-place normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or con-
dition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while ad-
justing your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the ve-
hicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure,
using an accurate tire pressure
gage, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light.” Seasonal temperature changes
will affect tire pressure, and the
TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
BASE SYSTEM
The TPMS uses wireless technology
with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels.
Sensors, mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver
Module.
NOTE: It is particularly impor-
tant for you to check the tire pres-
sure in all of your tires regularly
and to maintain the proper pres-
sure.
The Basic TPMS consists of the fol-
lowing components:
Receiver Module
Four Tire Pressure MonitoringSensors
TPMS Telltale Warning Light Tire Pressure Monitoring Low
Tire Pressure Warnings
The “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will
illuminate in the instru-
ment cluster, an “Inflate
Tire to XX” message and a "TIRE
LOW PRESSURE" message will dis-
play in the instrument cluster, and an
audible chime will be activated when
one or more of the four active road tire
pressures are low. The recommended
cold placard pressure inflation value
is the pressure value displayed in the
"Inflate Tire to XX" message dis-
played in the EVIC. Should this occur,
you should stop as soon as possible,
check the inflation pressure of each
tire on your vehicle, and inflate each
tire to the vehicle's recommended cold
tire pressure value (located on the
placard on the driver's-side B-Pillar).
The system will automatically update
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will extinguish once
the updated tire pressures have been
received.
268

next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS
will no longer chime or turn on the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light.” To reactivate the TPMS, first,
replace all four wheel and tire assem-
blies (road tires) with those equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
24 km/h. The TPMS will chime and
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75
seconds.
PREMIUM SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The TPMS uses wireless technology
with wheel rim-mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels.
Sensors mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver
Module.
NOTE: It is particularly impor-
tant to regularly check and main-
tain proper tire pressure in all the
tires.The Premium TPMS consists of the
following components:
Receiver Module
Four TPMS Sensors
Various TPMS messages, which
display in the Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC), and
graphics displaying tire pressures
TPMS Telltale Warning Light
TPMS Low Pressure Warnings
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will illuminate in the in-
strument cluster, and an audible
chime will be activated when one or
more of the four active road tire pres-
sures are low. In addition, the EVIC
will display a “Inflate Tire to XX”
message and a “LOW TIRE” message
in the graphic display with the pres-
sure value(s) with the low tire(s)
flashing. The recommended cold
placard pressure inflation value is the
pressure value displayed in the “In-
flate Tire to XX” message displayed in
the EVIC. Should a low tire condition occur on
any of the four active road tire(s), you
should stop as soon as possible, and
inflate the low tire(s) that is flashing
on the graphic display to the vehicle’s
recommended cold tire pressure
value. The system will automatically
update, the “Inflate Tire to XX” mes-
sage will no longer be displayed, the
graphic display of the pressure val-
ue(s) will stop flashing, and the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will extinguish once the updated tire
pressure(s) have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up
to 20 minutes above 24 km/h to re-
ceive this information.
