Child restraint systems
Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the
front passenger seat of any vehicle with a
front passenger airbag - not even if the
"Passenger airbag off" symbol near the
rear-view mirror is illuminated. If the
severity of an accident were to cause the
airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious
injury or death to a child seated in this
position.
Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint
systems: infant seats, convertible seats and
booster cushions. They are classified accord-
ing to the child's age and size.
The child restraint should be secured using a
three-point seat belt, ISOFIX/LATCH anchors
or top tether anchors.

When attaching the seat belt to a child
seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING
When not in use, keep the child
restraint system secured or remove it
from the passenger compartment to
help prevent it from injuring passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
•
•
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the
buckle (lock) in the usual way.
A small child's head represents a con-
siderable part of its total weight and its
neck is still very weak. Volvo recom-
mends that children up to age 4 travel,
properly restrained, facing rearward. In
addition, Volvo recommends that chil-
dren should ride rearward facing, prop-
erly restrained, as long as possible.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut
around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be
audible at this time and is normal. The belt will
now be locked in place. This function is auto-
matically disabled when the seat belt is
unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
Booster cushion
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions for detailed information
on securing the restraint.
WARNING
Prolonged installation and use of the child
restraint may damage the vehicle's interior.
Volvo recommends using the kick guard
accessory to help protect the vehicle's
interior.
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend that
children who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt prop-
erly fastened.
Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/
ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each
seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip-
ped with a locking mechanism to help keep
the seat belt taut.
Child restraint registration and recalls
Child restraints could be recalled for safety
reasons. You must register your child restraint
to be reached in a recall. To stay informed
about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill
66
SAFETY
out and return the registration card that
comes with new child restraints.
Infant seats
Suitable child restraints should always be
used when children (depending on their age/
size) are seated in the vehicle.
Child restraint recall information is readily
available in both the U.S. and Canada. For
recall information in the U.S., call the U.S.
Government's Auto Safety Hotline at
1-800-424-9393 or go to http://www-

5. Press the infant seat firmly in place, let the
seat belt retract and pull it taut. A sound
from the seat belt retractor's automatic
locking function will be audible at this time
and is normal. The seat belt should now be
locked in place.
3.
Pull out the shoulder section of the seat belt.
4. Pull the shoulder section of the seat belt
out as far as possible to activate the belt's
automatic locking function.
Fasten the seat belt.
Check that the infant seat is properly secured.

plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct
click is audible.
6. Press and pull the infant seat along the
direction of the seat belt to check that it is
properly held in place by the seat belt.

Convertible seats
WARNING
Suitable child restraints should always be
used when children (depending on their age/
size) are seated in the vehicle.
It should not be possible to move the child
restraint more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) in any
direction along the seat belt path.
Securing a convertible seat with a seat
belt
When installing infant seats in the rear seat, Volvo
recommends maintaining a distance of at least
50 mm (2 inches) from the front-most part of the
infant seat to the rearmost part of the seat in front.
Do not place the convertible seat in the front pas-
senger's seat.
Convertible seats can be used in either a for-
ward or rearward-facing position, depending
on the age and size of the child.
The infant seat can be removed by unbuckling
the seat belt and letting it retract completely.

Position the child correctly on the booster cushion.
Booster cushions are recommended for chil-
dren who have outgrown convertible seats.
WARNING
The hip section of the three-point seat
belt must fit snugly across the child's
hips, not across the stomach.

1. Place the booster cushion in the rear seat
of the vehicle.
2. With the child properly seated on the
booster cushion, attach the seat belt to or
around the cushion according to the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
The shoulder section of the three-point
seat belt should be positioned across
the chest and shoulder.
The shoulder belt must never be placed
behind the child's back or under the
arm.

SAFETY
3. Attach the strap for the lower tether
anchors in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH
attachment points. If the child restraint is
not equipped with straps for the lower
tether anchors, or if the child restraint is
used on the center seating position, follow
the instructions for attaching a child
restraint using the automatic locking seat
belt.
Top tether anchors
WARNING
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint
top tether anchorages for all three seating
positions in the rear seat. They are located on
the rear side of the backrests.
Always refer to the recommendations
made by the child restraint manufac-
turer.
•
•
•
Volvo recommends that the top tether
anchors be used when installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint.
Child restraint anchorages
Never route a top tether strap over the
top of the head restraint. The strap
should be routed beneath the head
restraint.
4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
•
restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses. The anchorages are not able
to withstand excessive forces on them
in the event of collision if full harness
seat belts or adult seat belts are instal-
led to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo
compartment cover, this must be removed
before a child seat can be attached in the
tether anchors.
Top tether anchors and symbols on the rear side of
the rear seat backrests. There is no symbol for the
center anchor position.
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and attach it to the anchor.
Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors
or interfere with the proper use of the
top tether strap.

LATCH lower anchors.
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the attachment cor-
•
•
rectly to the anchor (see the illustra-
tion). If the attachment is not correctly
fastened, the child restraint may not be
properly secured in the event of a colli-
sion.
Location of the ISOFIX/LATCH anchors
The rear center seat is not equipped
with ISOFIX/LATCH lower tether
anchors. If a child restraint is used in
this seat, attach the restraint's upper
anchor strap (if equipped with these)
to the top tether anchor point for this
strap and secure the child restraint
with the vehicle's center seat belt.
•
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the
ISOFIX/LATCH anchor positions as shown. To
access the anchors, kneel on the seat cushion
and locate the anchors by feel. Always follow
your child seat manufacturer's installation
instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH
lower anchors and top tethers whenever pos-
sible.
The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child
restraint anchors are only intended for
use with child seats positioned in the
outboard seating positions. These
anchors are not certified for use with
any child restraint that is positioned in
the center seating position. When
securing a child restraint in the center
seating position, use only the vehicle's
center seat belt.
Always follow your child seat manufac-
turer's installation instructions, and use
both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors
and top tethers whenever possible.
•
To access the anchors
1. Put the child restraint in position.
