Integrated Booster Cushion - Outboard Positions - Volvo S40 2001 Owner's Manual

2001 Volvo S40 & V 40
The child should be properly seated on the booster cushion. The head restraint should be carefully
adjusted to support the child's head. 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 (see illustration). The shoulder belt must never be placed
behind the child's back or under the arm.
WARNING!
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
properly fastened.
Important!
Why Volvo believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car.
It's quite simple really. A front air bag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an
adult. Because of the size of the air bag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an
innovator in safety for over fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please
remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.
Volvo has some very specific recommendations:
· Always wear your seat belt.
· Air bags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which when used in conjunction with a three-point seat
belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of severe accidents. Volvo recommends that
