Integrated booster cushion*
Volvo's integrated booster cushion for the cen-
tre rear seat is specially designed to provide
optimum safety for children. Combined with
the regular seatbelt, the booster cushion is
approved for children weighing between 15
and 36 kg.
Check before driving that:
•
the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted
•
the seatbelt does not lie across the child's
throat or below the shoulder (see preced-
ing illustration)
•
the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned
low over the pelvis to provide optimal pro-
tection
•
the head restraint is adjusted to suit the
child's head.

Lowering the booster cushion
Fold down the booster cushion.
Release the Velcro fastener.
Lift back the upper section.
WARNING
Repair or replacement should only be per-
formed by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Do not make any modifications or additions
to the booster cushion.
If an integrated booster cushion has been
subjected to a major load, such as in con-
junction with a collision, the entire booster
cushion must be replaced. Even if the
booster cushion appears to be undamaged,
it may not afford the same level of protec-
tion. The booster cushion must also be
replaced if it is heavily worn.
