Do not place the convertible seat in the front pas-
senger's seat
NOTE
Refer to pages 43 and 44 for information
on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX
lower anchors and/or top tether ancho-
rages.

ward or rearward-facing position, depending
on the age and size of the child.
G022847
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suita-
ble for the child's age and size. See the con-
vertible seat manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat
of the vehicle.
WARNING
•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.
•Convertible child seats should be instal-
led in the rear seat only.
•A rear-facing convertible seat should not
be positioned behind the driver's seat
unless there is adequate space for safe
installation.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat
according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

ISOFIX lower anchors01
43 Using the ISOFIX lower child seat
anchors
G021064
ISOFIX lower child restraint 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 as shown. To access the anchors,
kneel on the seat cushion and locate the
anchors by feel. Always follow your child seat
manufacturer's installation instructions, and
use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top tethers
whenever possible.
To access the anchors1. 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 instruc-
tions.
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 and secure the
restraint with the vehicle's center seat
belt.
•Always follow your child seat manufac-
turer's installation instructions, and use
both ISOFIX lower anchors and top
tethers whenever possible.
G018631
Fasten the attachment correctly to the ISOFIX
lower anchors
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.

01 Safety
Top tether anchors 01
44
Child restraint anchorages
G021068
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top
tether anchorages in the rear seat. They are
located on the rear parcel shelf.
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. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISO-
FIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is
not equipped with lower tether straps, or
the restraint is used in the center seating
position, follow instructions for securing achild restraint using the Automatic Locking
Retractor seat belt (see page 35).
5. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.
WARNING
•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 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.

01 Safety
Child restraint registration and recalls01
45 Registering a child restraint
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.
Child restraint recall information is readily avail-
able in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall
information in the U.S., call the U.S. Govern-
ment's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child
Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/
roadsafety/childsafety/menu.htm.

01 Safety
Integrated booster cushion 01
46* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Integrated booster cushion*1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushion is
located in the center seating position. This
booster cushion has been specially designed
to help safeguard a child in the rear seat. It
should be stowed (folded up into the rear seat
backrest) when not in use. When using an inte-
grated booster cushion, the child must be
secured with the vehicle's three-point seat
belt.
Use this booster cushion only with
children who weigh between 33 and
80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose
height is between 38 and 54 in (97
and 137 cm). In Canada, TransportCanada's weight recommendation is
40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).
The booster cushion is designed to raise the
child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses
over the child's collarbone, not over the child's
neck. If using a booster cushion does not result
in proper positioning of the shoulder strap,
then the child should be placed in a properly
secured child restraint (see page 36). The
shoulder belt must never be placed behind the
child's back or under the arm.
Using the integrated booster cushion
G021070
G021071
G021072
Fold down the booster cushion from the
rear seat backrest.
Loosen the Velcro strip.
Fold up the backrest section of the booster
cushion into the upright position.
Before driving, check that:
1Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushion.

Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests can be folded down
together, or separately, to make it easier to
transport long objects.
1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the cen-
ter seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
The outboard head restraints must be
folded up (in the upright position) before
lowering the backrests.
WARNING
•Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock them-
selves 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 par-
ticularly at risk.
WARNING
•When the backrest(s) are returned to the
upright position, check that it is properly
locked in place. The red indicators
should not be visible.
•Return the outboard 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 Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of time
can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
