oil level Lancia Voyager 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

 Door AjarThis light will turn on to
indicate that one or more
doors may be ajar.
 Oil Pressure Warning Light This light indicates low engine
oil pressure. The light should
turn on momentarily when the engine
is started. If the light turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle and shut off
the engine as soon as possible. A
chime will sound when this light turns
on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
cause is corrected. This light does not
show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
under the hood.
 Charging System Light This light shows the status of
the electrical charging system.
The light should come on when the
ignition switch is first turned ON and
remain on briefly as a bulb check. If
the light stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or in-
crease engine speed (if at idle). If the charging system light remains on, it
means that the vehicle is experiencing
a problem with the charging system.
Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
See an authorized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.
 Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Light This light informs you of a
problem with the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC)
system. The light will come
on when the ignition is first turned ON
and remain on briefly as a bulb check.
If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light will
come on while the engine is running.
Cycle the ignition key when the ve-
hicle has completely stopped and the
shift lever is placed in the PARK posi-
tion. The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine
running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable. However, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.
If the light is flashing when the engine
is running, immediate service is re-
quired. You may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle
or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
 Engine Temperature Warning
Light This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
temperatures rise and the
gauge approaches H,this indicator
will illuminate and a single chime will
sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the
temperature gauge to pass H,a con-
tinuous chime will occur until the en-
gine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If
the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for more information.

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Car maintenance should be done
at a LANCIA Dealership. For rou-
tine and minor maintenance op-
erations you wish to carry out
yourself, we do recommend you
have the proper equipment, genu-
ine LANCIA spare parts and the
necessary fluids; do not however
carry out these operations if you
have no experience.
 Your vehicle has been built with
improved fluids that protect the
performance and durability of
your vehicle and also allow ex-
tended maintenance intervals. Do
not use chemical flushes in these
components as the chemicals can
damage your engine, transmis-
sion, power steering or air condi-
tioning. Such damage is not cov-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. If a flush is needed be-
cause of component malfunction,
use only the specified fluid for the
flushing procedure. ENGINE OIL
Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication,
the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. Check the oil level at
regular intervals, such as every fuel
stop.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed engine is shut off or before
starting the engine after it has sat
overnight.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is
on level ground will improve the ac-
curacy of the oil level readings. Main-
tain the oil level between the MIN and
MAX markings on the dipstick. Add-
ing one quart of oil when the reading
is at the MIN mark will result in a
MAX reading on these engines.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling will cause
oil aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
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.
Change Engine Oil – All Engines
The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for
further information on this system.

Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid
Level Check
The fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing
underhood services, or immediately if
the “Brake System Warning Light”
indicates system failure.
Clean the top of the master cylinder
area before removing the cap. Add
fluid to bring the level up to the top of
the “FULL” mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recom-
mended because it may cause leaking
in the system.
Add enough fluid to bring the level up
to the requirements described on the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to
fall as the brake pads wear. However,
low fluid level may be caused by a
leak and a checkup may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recom-
mended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
 Use only manufacturer's recom-mended brake fluid. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information. Us-
ing the wrong type of brake fluid
can severely damage your brake
system and/or impair its perfor-
mance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also iden-
tified on the original factory in-
stalled hydraulic master cylinder
reservoir.
 To avoid contamination from for-
eign matter or moisture, use only
new brake fluid or fluid that has
been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir
cap secured at all times. Brake
fluid in a open container absorbs
moisture from the air resulting in
a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly dur-
ing hard or prolonged braking,
resulting in sudden brake failure.
This could result in a accident.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Overfilling the brake fluid reser-
voir can result in spilling brake
fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake
fluid can also damage painted and
vinyl surfaces, care should be
taken to avoid its contact with
these surfaces.
 Do not allow petroleum based
fluid to contaminate the brake
fluid. Brake seal components
could be damaged, causing partial
or complete brake failure. This
could result in an accident.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The automatic transmission and dif-
ferential assembly are contained
within a single housing.
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important that the proper lubri-
cant is used in the transmission to
assure optimum transmission perfor-
mance. Use only the manufacturer's
recommended transmission fluid. Re-
fer to “Fluids, Lubricants and Genu-
ine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-

SCHEDULE – DIESEL
ENGINE
To help you have the best driving
experience possible, the manufacturer
has identified the specific vehicle
maintenance service intervals that are
required to keep your vehicle operat-
ing properly and safely.
The manufacturer recommends that
these maintenance intervals be per-
formed at your selling dealer. The
technicians at your dealership know
your vehicle best, and have access to
factory trained information, genuine
LANCIA parts, and specially designed electronic and mechanical tools that
can help prevent future costly repairs.
The maintenance intervals shown
should be performed as indicated in
this section.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed 25 000 km
or 12 months, whichever comes
first.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in
damage to the vehicle.
