Lancia Voyager 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

NOTE: The Driver and Front Pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bags
are certified to regulations for Ad-
vanced Air Bags.
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on several factors, in-
cluding the severity and type of colli-
sion.
This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat
belt buckle switch that detects
whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) to protect the driver,
front, and rear passengers sitting next
to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and
their covers are also labeled: SRS
AIRBAG.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags(SAB). The Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bags are marked
with an air bag label sewn into the
outboard side of the front seats.
NOTE:
 Air Bag covers may not be obvi-
ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy-
ment.
 After any accident, the vehicle should be taken to an autho-
rized dealer immediately.
AIR BAG SYSTEM
COMPONENTS
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the following air bag system compo-
nents:
 Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
 Air Bag Warning Light
 Steering Wheel and Column
 Instrument Panel
 Knee Impact Bolster (for versions/ markets, where provided)  Driver Advanced Front Air Bag
 Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
 Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
 Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat- able Curtains (SABIC)
 Front and Side Impact Sensors
 Front Seat Belt Pretensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Switch
ADVANCED FRONT AIR
BAG FEATURES
The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front pas-
senger air bags. This system provides
output appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), which may receive informa-
tion from the front impact sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
45

WARNING!
 No objects should be placed overor near the air bag on the instru-
ment panel, because any such ob-
jects could cause harm if the ve-
hicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
 Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat-
ing.
 Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way.
 Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band ra-
dios, etc.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu-
pant protection.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear-facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag. An
air bag deployment can cause se-
vere injury or death to infants in
that position.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it prop-
erly.
All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly. The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac-
tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or win-
dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.
If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus-
tomer Center.
WARNING!
 Relying on the air bags alone
could lead to more severe injuries
in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Al-
ways wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.

46

WARNING!(Continued)
 Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deploy-
ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air Bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, com-
fortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or in-
strument panel.
 Side air bags also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats. When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left air bag only and a right-
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
and vehicle rollover protection to
front and rear seat outboard occu-
pants in addition to that provided by
the body structure. Each air bag fea-
tures inflated chambers placed adja-
cent to the head of each outboard
occupant that reduce the potential for
side-impact head injuries. The SABIC
deploy downward, covering both win-
dows on the impact side.NOTE:
 Should a vehicle rollover occur,
the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy.
 Air Bag covers may not be obvi- ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag
deployment.
 Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air bags during deploy-
ment could cause you to be se-
verely injured or killed.
The system includes side impact sen-
sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re-
quire air bag occupant protection.
47

WARNING!
 Your vehicle is equipped with leftand right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located
should remain free from any ob-
structions.
 Do not use accessory seat covers
or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro-
tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc-
cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu-
pant protection.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors
And Controls
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The
ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in cer-
tain frontal collisions depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll-
over collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, includ-
ing some that may produce substan-
tial vehicle damage — for example,
some pole collisions, truck under-
rides, and angle offset collisions. On
the other hand, depending on the type
and location of impact, Advanced
Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial decel-
eration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy-
ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure ve-
hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your pro-
tection in all collisions, and also are
48

needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys-
tem whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the OFF position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to de-
ployment.Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ig-
nition is first turned on. After the self-
check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a mal-
function in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light
comes on again after initial startup. It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the
collision type and severity. The steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover and the up-
per right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The
air bags fully inflate in about 50 to 70
milliseconds. This is about half of the
time it takes to blink your eyes. The
air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
49

The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.
Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing a quantity of non-
toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.
The SAB fully inflate in about 10 mil-
liseconds. The side air bag moves at a
very high speed and with such a high
force that it could injure you if you are
not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap-
plies to children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. Inthese events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when
it is inflated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
NOTE: In a rollover the preten-
sioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags may deploy on both sides of
the vehicle.Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
 Cut off fuel to the engine.
 Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.
 Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
 Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
50

an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
 The nylon air bag material maysometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
 As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pre-
tensioners can not protect you in
another collision. Have the air
bags, seat belt pretensioners, and
the front seat belt retractor assem-
blies replaced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Also, have the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) system serviced as well.

Maintaining Your Air Bag SystemWARNING!
 Modifications to any part of theair bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering
wheel hub trim cover or the upper
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af-
termarket side steps or running
boards.
 It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system your-
self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not attempt to modify any part of your air bag system. The
air bag may inflate accidentally
or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser-
vice. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take
the vehicle to your authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer ap-
proved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify
the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact your au-
thorized dealer.

Air Bag Warning LightYou will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-
sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo-
nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free. If
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
 The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
 The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to eight-second
interval.  The Air Bag Warning Light comes
on intermittently or remains on
while driving.
NOTE: If the speedometer, ta-
chometer, or any engine related
gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC)
may also be disabled. The air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to
the label located on the inside of
the fuse block cover for the proper
air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to ve-
hicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this ve-
hicle is designed to record such data
as:
 How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and pas- senger safety belts wer e
buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
53

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under nor-
mal driving conditions and no per-
sonal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac-
cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR.CHILD RESTRAINTS
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including ba-
bies and children.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat. According to crash statistics,
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats rather than
in the front.
WARNING!
 “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward-facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air bag
in front of it!” Refer to visor and
door shut face mounted labels for
information.
 In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can be-
come a projectile inside the ve-
hicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could
not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and oth-
ers could be badly injured. Any
child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
