WARNING


• When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help pre- vent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.


• 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.

Using the ISOFIX/LATCH lower child seat anchors


Lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH-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).


WARNING


The center of the rear seat is not a seating position. This area is not equipped with a seat belt or ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. No one should attempt to sit in this position and child seats should never be placed in the center of the rear seat.


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.


3. Fasten the attachment on the child


restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/ LATCH 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/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.


WARNING


Volvo's ISOFIX/LATCH anchors conform to FMVSS/CMVSS standards. Always refer to the child restraint system's manual for weight and size ratings.


01 Safety


ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors

Top tether anchors


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.


48


See page 47 for information on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX/LATCH 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.
