Top Tether Anchors - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

Top tether anchors

Top tether anchorage points
Your vehicle is equipped with child restraint
top tether anchorages in all second row seat
positions (second-row seats only in 7-seat
models).
Using the top tether anchorages
•
Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
•
Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and fasten its attachment to the
anchorage.
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the child tether attach-
ment correctly to the anchor. If it is not
correctly fastened, the child seat may not
be properly restrained in the event of a
collision.
•
Firmly tension the top tether strap
according to the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions. Tension the top tether
strap only after the lower anchor straps or
the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
For securing the child restraint to ISOFIX/
LATCH lower anchors,see page 49.
01 Safety

Top tether anchors

WARNING
•
Always refer to the recommendations
made by the child restraint manufac-
turer.
•
Volvo recommends that the top tether
anchors be used when installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint.
•
Never route a top tether strap over the
top or around the head restraint. It
should always be routed under the
head restraint.
•
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses. The anchorages are not
able to withstand excessive forces on
them in the event of collision if full har-
ness seat belts or adult seat belts are
installed to them. An adult who uses a
belt anchored in a child restraint
anchorage runs a great risk of suffer-
ing severe injuries should a collision
occur.
•
Do not install rear speakers that
require the removal of the top tether
anchors or interfere with the proper
use of the top tether strap.
