1998 Volvo SV70
Unless the station wagon is equipped with Volvo's auxiliary seat for children (option), passengers should not ride in the rear cargo area.
Wagons only:
If the optional auxiliary seat for children is in use, fold this seat down before folding down the rear seat backrest.
Remember that a 44 lbs object weighs the equivalent of 2,200 lbs in a head-on collision at 30 mph!
Remember the following when loading the car:
• Load the cargo against the backrest
• Load heavy objects as low down as possible
• Load wide cargo on either side of the rear seat split.
• Secure the cargo with cargo straps through the eyelets in the cargo straps
• If nobody is sitting in the rear seat reinforce the backrest by fastening the rear seat belts
• Never load cargo above the backrest without a cargo net
