child seat VOLVO S60 2007 Owner's Manual

Using the ISOFIX lower child seat anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats are located in the rear, outboard seats, hidden below the backrest
cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor positions (see the illustration above).
To access the anchors:
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
The rear seat's center position is not equipped with ISOFIX lower anchors. When installing a child restraint in this
position, attach the restraint's top tether strap (if it is so equipped) to the top tether anchorage point (see the
information on page 39
) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt (see the information beginning on
page 31
).
Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top
tethers whenever possible.
WARNING!
Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration above). If the attachment is not correctly
fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.

Top tether anchors
Top tether anchors
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.
Using the top tether anchorages
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage.
WARNING!
Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may
not be properly restrained in the event of a collision.
3. Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether
strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
See page 38
for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.
WARNING!
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 harness 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 suffering 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.
NOTE:
Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall.
To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new
child restraints.

Because the driver's seat can be adjusted with the ignition off, children should never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.
Programming the memory (option)
Three different seating and door mirror positions can be stored in the driver seat's memory.
The following example explains how button 1 can be programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same
way.
To program (store) a seat position in button 1:
- Move the seat to the desired position using the seat adjustment controls (see the previous page).
- Press and hold down the MEM (memory) button.
- With the MEM button depressed, press button 1 briefly to store the seat's current position.
To move the seat to the position that it was in when button 1 was programmed:
Press and hold down button 1 until the seat stops moving.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the preset
position.

WARNING!
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
WARNING!
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/ unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the (P)ark position (automatic transmission) to help prevent inadvertent movement of the
gear selector.
The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-downs rear seat. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk,
and also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become
locked inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the
trunk.
