SAFETY

Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach the strap for the lower tether
anchors in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH
attachment points. If the child restraint is
not equipped with straps for the lower
tether anchors, or if the child restraint is
used on the center seating position, follow
the instructions for attaching a child
restraint using the automatic locking seat
belt.
4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo
compartment cover, this must be removed
before a child seat can be attached in the
tether anchors.

WARNING
Always refer to the recommendations
•
made by the child restraint manufac-
turer.
Volvo recommends that the top tether
•
anchors be used when installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint.
Never route a top tether strap over the
•
top of the head restraint. The strap
should be routed beneath 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 instal-
led to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision 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.
