Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the
front passenger seat of any vehicle with a
front passenger airbag - not even if the
"Passenger airbag off" symbol near the
rear-view mirror is illuminated. If the
severity of an accident were to cause the
airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious
injury or death to a child seated in this
position.

Booster cushion
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions for detailed information
on securing the restraint.
WARNING
When not in use, keep the child
•
restraint system secured or remove it
from the passenger compartment to
help prevent it from injuring passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
A small child's head represents a con-
•
siderable part of its total weight and its
neck is still very weak. Volvo recom-
mends that children up to age 4 travel,
properly restrained, facing rearward. In
addition, Volvo recommends that chil-
dren should ride rearward facing, prop-
erly restrained, as long as possible.
NOTE
Prolonged installation and use of the child
restraint may damage the vehicle's interior.
Volvo recommends using the kick guard
accessory to help protect the vehicle's
interior.

Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/

To make child seat installation easier, each
seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip-
ped with a locking mechanism to help keep
the seat belt taut.
