Child seats

The position of a child in the car and the choice
of equipment are dictated by the child's weight
and size.

Children should sit comfortably and safely. Make
sure that the child seat is being used correctly.

Look in the installation instructions for the child
seat for the correct fitting.

NOTE

When using child safety products it is impor-
tant to read the installation instructions
included.

NOTE

Never leave a child seat unsecured in the car.
Always secure it according to the instructions
for the child seat, even when it is not in use.

Location of child seats

Rear-facing child seat and airbag are not compatible.

Always fit rear-facing child seats in the second or
third

* seat row if the passenger airbag is acti-

vated. If a child is sitting on the front passenger
seat then he/she could suffer serious injury if the
airbag deploys.

If the passenger airbag is deactivated then rear-
facing child seats can be fitted on the front pas-
senger seat.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of chil-
dren in cars vary from country to country.
Check what does apply.

WARNING

Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front of

the front passenger seat.
Never use a rear-facing child seat on the front

passenger seat if the airbag is activated.
Front-facing passengers (children and adults)

must never sit on the front passenger seat if

the passenger airbag is deactivated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can

endanger life or lead to serious personal

injury.

Child seat installation

The following points are important to consider
when a child seat is being fitted in the car.

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel

braces or some other design that could rest

on the seatbelt buckle's opening button must

not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt

buckle to open accidentally.
Do not secure the straps for the child seat

into the seat's horizontal adjustment bar or in

springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp

edges may damage the straps.
Do not allow the upper section of the child

seat to rest against the windscreen.

Integrated child seat

*

The integrated child seat on the centre seat in
the second seat row allows children to sit com-
fortably and safely.

The child seat is especially designed to provide
good safety for the child together with the car's
seatbelt.

The child seat is approved for children weighing
between 15 and 36 kg and at least 97 cm tall.

Correct position, the seatbelt must pass over the shoul-

der.

Check before driving that:

•

the seat cushion is locked in position

•

the head restraint is adjusted at the same
height as the child's head, if possible, so that
it covers the entire back of the head

•

the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted

•

the seatbelt does not lie across the child's
throat or below the shoulder

•

the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned
low over the pelvis to provide optimal protec-
tion.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that repair or replacement

of the integrated child seat is only performed

by an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not

make any modifications or additions to the

child seat. If an integrated child seat has been

subjected to a heavy load, e.g. in connection

with a collision, then the seat cushion, seat-

belt and backrest, or possibly the whole seat,

must be replaced. Even if the child seat

appears to be undamaged, it may not afford

the same level of protection. This also applies

if the seat cushion was in lowered position

during a collision or similar. The seat cushion

must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.

WARNING

If the instructions for the integrated child seat

are not followed then the child could sustain

serious injury in the event of an accident.
