WARNING
•
Be sure to fasten the attachment cor-
rectly to the anchor (see the illustration).
If the attachment is not correctly fas-
tened, the child restraint may not be
properly secured in the event of a colli-
sion.
•
The ISOFIX lower child restraint
anchors are only intended for use with
child seats positioned in the outboard
seating positions. These anchors are
not certified for use with any child
restraint that is positioned in the center
seating position. When securing a child
restraint in the center seating position,
use only the vehicle's center seat belt.

0143 Top tether anchors
G031131
Top tether anchorage pointsYour Volvo is equipped with child restraint top
tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.Using the top tether anchorages1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
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.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and fasten its attachment to the
anchorage.
G026487
Route the strap under the head restraint3. Firmly tension the top tether strap accord-
ing 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 41 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 colli-
sion 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.

able in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall

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. Expo-
