Volvo V60 RECHARGE 2021 Owner's Manual page 69

WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
•
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 140 cm (4 feet
7 inches) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with
the seat belt fastened.
On hot days, the temperature in the
•
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure to these high temperatures
for even a short period of time can
cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should
sit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite sim-
ple really. A front airbag is a very powerful
device designed, by law, to help protect an
adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in
the front seat, even if he or she is properly bel-
ted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo
has been an innovator in the field of safety
since it was founded. And we have no inten-
tion of resting on our laurels. But we need
your help. Please remember to put your chil-
dren in the back seat, and buckle them up.
WARNING
A child restraint should never be reused if:
The vehicle has been involved in a colli-
•
sion, no matter how minor
Its history is unknown
•
It is older than the manufacturer's expi-
•
ration date
Volvo has some very specific
recommendations
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
•
device which, when used with a three-
point seat belt can help reduce serious
injuries during certain types of accidents.
Volvo recommends that you do not dis-
connect the airbag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone
•
in the vehicle be properly restrained.
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
•
(adults and children) shorter than 140 cm
(4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the rear seat
of any vehicle with a front passenger side
airbag.
Drive safely!
