Integrated two-stage booster
cushions*
Correct position, the seatbelt should be posi-
tioned in on the shoulder.
Incorrect position, the head restraint must be
adjusted as high as the head and the seatbelt must
not be below the shoulder.
The booster cushions are specially designed to
provide optimum safety. In combination with
the seatbelt they are approved for children who
weigh between 15 and 36 kg and who are at
least 95 cm in height.
Check before driving that:
•the 2-stage integrated booster cushion is
correctly set (see table below) and in
locked position
•the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted
•the seatbelt does not lie across the child's
throat or below the shoulder (see preced-
ing illustrations)
•the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned
low over the pelvis to provide optimal pro-
tection.

Press the booster cushion backwards to
lock.
Stage 2
Start from the lower stage. Press the but-
ton.
Lift the booster cushion up at the front edge
and press it back against the backrest to lock.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace-
ment is only carried out by an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifi-
cations or additions to the booster cushion.
If an integrated booster cushion has been
subjected to a major load, such as in con-
junction with a collision, the entire booster
cushion must be replaced. Even if the
booster cushion appears to be undamaged,
it may not afford the same level of protec-
tion. The booster cushion must also be
replaced if it is heavily worn.
NOTE
It is not possible to adjust the booster cush-
ion from stage 2 to stage 1. It must first be
reset by being fully folded into the seat
cushion. Refer to the heading below, Low-
ering the two-stage booster cushion.
Lowering the two-stage booster cushionLowering can take place from both the upper
and lower stage to fully lowered position in the
cushion. However, it is not possible to adjustthe booster cushion from the upper stage to
the lower stage.
Pull the handle forwards to release the
cushion.

Press down with your hand in the centre of
the cushion in order to lock it.
WARNING
If the instructions regarding the two-stage
booster cushion are not followed then this
could cause serious injury to a child in the
event of an accident.
IMPORTANT
Check that there are no loose objects (e.g.
toys) left behind in the space under the
cushion before lowering.
NOTE
The booster cushion must be lowered first
when lowering the backrest.
Child safety locks, rear doors
The controls for operating the rear door power
windows and the rear door opening handles
can be blocked from opening from the inside.
For more information, see page 64.
ISOFIX fixture system for child seats
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system
are concealed behind the lower section of the
rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indicated
by symbols in the backrest upholstery (see pre-
ceding illustration).
Press the seat cushion down to access the
mounting points.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when connecting a child seat to
the ISOFIX mounting points.
Size classesChild seats are in different sizes – cars are in
different sizes. This means that not all child
seats are suitable for all seats in all car models.Consequently, there is a size classification for
child seats using the ISOFIX fixture system in
order to assist users in choosing the correct
child seat (see the following table).

WARNING

the car is equipped with an activated airbag.
NOTE
If an ISOFIX child seat has no size classifi-
cation then the car model must be included
on the child seat's vehicle list.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo dealer for recommenda-
tions about which ISOFIX child seats Volvo
recommends.

Upper mounting points for child seats
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for certain front-facing child seats.
These mounting points are located on the rear
of the seat.
The upper mounting points are primarily
intended for use with front-facing child seats.
Volvo recommends that small children should
sit in rear-facing child seats to as late an age
as possible.
NOTE
For cars with folding head restraints on the
outside seats the head restraints should be
folded to facilitate the installation of this
type of child seat.
NOTE
For cars equipped with a cargo area cover
over the cargo area, this must be removed
before a child seat can be fitted in the
mounting points.
For detailed information on how the child seat
should be tensioned in the upper mounting
points, see the seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
WARNING
The child seat's straps must always be
drawn through the hole in the head restraint
leg before they are tensioned at the attach-
ment point.
