Upper mounting points for child seats
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for child seats. These mounting points
are located on the parcel shelf and are con-
cealed by plastic covers. Bend aside the plas-
tic covers to access each respective mounting
point.
For cars with folding head restraints on the
outside seats the head restraints should be
folded to facilitate installation.
The upper mounting points are primarily
intended for use with front-facing child seats.
Volvo recommends that small children should
sit in rear-facing child seats for as long as pos-
sible.
For detailed information on how the child seat
should be tensioned in the upper mounting
36
points, see the seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
WARNING
The child seat's straps must always be
routed under the rear head restraints before
being tensioned at the mounting point.
