Child Restraint Anchorages

Volvo cars can be fitted with Child Restraint Top Tether Anchorages in t\
he rear seat.
Sedans: There are three pre-drilled anchorage points under the rear wind\
ow shelf which are not visible from the passenger
compartment.
Wagons: The anchorage points are on the rear seat backrest and are hidde\
n by plastic covers. The backrest must be folded down to
access the center anchorage point.

In cars designated for Canada, one top tether anchorage set will be in t\
he glove box.

Installing the top tether

Sedans: The pre-drilled holes for the child restraint anchorages are und\
erneath the rear window shelf and can be accessed from the
trunk or by lowering the rear seat backrests.
Wagons: Remove the plastic cover on the anchorage point you intend to us\
e.

On either model, refer to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for\
securing the seat.

An additional bolt may be required. This may be obtained from your autho\
rized Volvo retailer.
WARNING! 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 harne\
sses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive
forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or a\
dult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a Child Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering s\
evere injuries should a collision occur. Do not install rear
speakers which would require the removal of the top tether anchors or in\
terfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.
