WARNING
•When not in use, keep the child restraint
system secured or remove it from the
passenger compartment to help pre-
vent it from injuring passengers in the
event of a sudden stop or collision.
•A small child's head represents a con-
siderable part of its total weight and its
neck is still very weak. Volvo recom-
mends that children up to age 4 travel,
properly restrained, facing rearward. In
addition, Volvo recommends that chil-
dren should ride rearward facing, prop-
erly restrained, as long as possible.
•The following text is mandated by
Canadian legislation: The Volvo C70 is
not equipped with top tether anchors.
Child restraints or booster cushions
requiring anchors of this kind cannot be
properly fastened and should not be
used in this vehicle.
