WARNING • Convertible child seats should be instal- led in the rear seat only. • A rear-facing convertible seat should not be positioned behind the driver's seat unless there is adequate space for safe installation. 1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. (cid:96)(cid:96) 41 01 Safety 01 Convertible seats Fasten the seat belt 2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat according to the manufacturer's instruc- tions. 3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible. 4. Pull the shoulder section of the seat belt out as far as possible to activate the belt's automatic locking function. 42 NOTE WARNING The locking retractor will automatically release when the seat belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract fully. It should not be possible to move the child restraint more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) in any direction. 5. Press the convertible seat firmly in place, let the seat belt retract and pull it taut. A sound from the seat belt retractor's auto- matic locking function will be audible at this time and is normal. The seat belt should now be locked in place. The convertible seat can be removed by unbuckling the seat belt and letting it retract completely. Ensure that the seat is securely in place Pull out the shoulder section of the seat belt 6. Push and pull the convertible seat to ensure that it is held securely in place by the seat belt. Securing a booster cushion Booster cushions are recommended for chil- dren who have outgrown convertible seats. 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. 3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible. 4. Ensure that the seat belt is pulled taut and fits snugly around the child. Position the child correctly on the booster cushion and fasten the seat belt 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 (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). 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 posi- tion. WARNING • The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach. • 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. 01 Safety Booster cushions 01 43 01 Safety 01 ISOFIX lower anchors Using the ISOFIX lower child seat anchors 3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX lower anchors. 4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instruc- tions. NOTE • Always follow your child seat manufac- turer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible. WARNING • The ISOFIX lower child restraint anchors are only intended for use with child seats positioned in the left or right seating positions. Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats are located in both rear seating positions, hidden below the backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor positions (see the illustration). To access the anchors: 1. Put the child restraint in position. 2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel. 44 Fasten the attachment correctly to the ISOFIX lower anchors WARNING Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration). If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision. Top tether anchors Top tether anchorage points Volvo vehicles are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seating posi- tions. They are located on the rear sides of the backrests. Using the top tether anchorages 1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat. 2. Attach the hook to the anchorage. Route the strap under the head restraint WARNING Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may not be properly restrained in the event of a collision. 3. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage. 4. Firmly tension the top tether strap accord- ing to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned. 01 Safety Top tether anchors 01 See page 44 for information on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors. WARNING • Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint. It should always be routed under the head restraint. • 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 installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a colli- sion occur. • 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. 45 01 Safety 01 Child restraint registration and recalls Registering a child restraint 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 out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints. Child restraint recall information is readily avail- able in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S., call the U.S. Govern- ment's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
