Top tether anchors

Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top
tether anchorages in the rear seat. They are
located on the rear parcel shelf.
Child restraint anchorages
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Fold up the plastic cover over the anchor-
age to be used.
3. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and attach it to the anchor.
4. Fold down the outboard head restraints
or lower the center head restraint for eas-
ier access to the ISOFIX/LATCH anchor.
5. Attach lower tether straps to the lower
ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child
restraint is not equipped with lower tether
straps, or the restraint is used in the cen-
ter seating position, follow instructions for
securing a child restraint using the Auto-
matic Locking Retractor seat belt (see
Child restraints (p. 47)).
6. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.
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 of the head restraint. The strap
should be routed beneath 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
