SAFETY
Integrated child seat*
The integrated child seats on the outer positions
in the rear seat allow children to sit comfortably
and safely.
The child seat is specially designed to provide
children with good safety, together with the car's
seatbelt. The seat cushion can be raised in two
positions depending on the weight of the child.
The child seat is approved for children who weigh
15-36 kg (33-80 lbs) and are at least 95 cm (37
inches) tall.
Correct position, the seatbelt should be positioned in on
the shoulder.
Check before driving that:
the seat cushion is raised to the correct posi-
•
tion for the weight of the child
the seat cushion in locked in position
•

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.
