Seat Belts - Volvo 780 Owner's Manual

1989 Volvo 780
Child Restraint Anchorages
Volvo cars are fitted with Child Restraint Top Tether Anchorage in the rear seat.
There are three Anchorages under the rear section of the car's rear window shelf. When the car is
delivered, the holes for these anchorages are covered by plastic screws. In cars designated for Canada
one top tether anchorage set will be in the glove box. In cars designated for the U.S., a coupon, good for
one set, will be provided by mail.
The top tether anchorage set includes the top Tether anchorage plate, a M8 bolt 30 mm long and a
plastic trim cover (see illustration).
If another set is needed, consult your Volvo dealer.
Installing the top tether
Remove the plastic screw covering the anchorage point you want to use. This can be done with a
suitable coin. The screw is removed counter-clockwise. Place the top tether anchorage plate as shown in
the illustration. Using the M8 bolt, tighten securely, to 16 +/-2.5 ft-lb. Place the plastic trim plate over
the anchorage plate, if desired.
WARNING!
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 adults 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. A grown-up who uses a belt anchored in a
Child Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
