Child Restraint Anchorages
Volvo cars are fitted with Child Restraint Top Tether Anchorages in the rear seat. There are three
anchorages under the rear section of the car's rear window shelf on sedans and on the back rest on
wagons. The backrest on wagons must be folded down slightly to reach the anchorages. When the car is
delivered, the holes for these anchorages are covered by plastic covers. In cars designated for Canada,
one top tether anchorage set will be in the glove box.
The top tether anchorage set includes the top tether anchorage plate, an M8 bolt 30 mm (1.18") long and
a plastic trim cover.
If another set is needed, consult your Volvo dealer.
Installing the top tether
Remove the plastic cover on 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 5/16" x 30 UNC bolt, tighten securely, to 16+/- 2.5 ft-lb. Place the plastic trim
plate over the anchorage plate, if desired.
