Child seats - upper mounting points
The car is equipped with upper mounting points for certain front-facing child seats (p.40). These mounting points are located on therear of the seat.
The upper mounting points are primarily intended for use with front-facing child seats.Volvo recommends that small children shouldsit in rear-facing child seats to as late an ageas possible.
NOTE
Fold the head restraints in order to facili- tate fitting this type of child seat in carswith folding head restraints on the outerseats.
NOTE
In cars with a cargo cover over the lug- gage compartment, this must be removedbefore child seats can be attached to thesecuring points.
For detailed information on how the child seat should be tensioned in the upper mountingpoints, see the seat manufacturer's instruc-tions.
WARNING
The child seat's straps must always be drawn through the hole in the headrestraint leg before they are tensioned atthe attachment point.

Automatic dimming*Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The controlfor manual dimming is not available on mir-rors with automatic dimming. The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing -that work together to identify and eliminatedazzling light. The forward facing sensordetects ambient light, while the rearward fac-ing sensor detects the light from vehicleheadlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors orobjects in the seats or in the cargo area insuch a way that light is prevented fromreaching the sensors, then the dimmingfunction of the interior rearview and doormirrors is reduced.
The compass (p. 97) can only be specified for a rearview mirror with automatic dimming.

Compass*
The rearview mirror contains an integrated display that shows the compass direction inwhich the front of the car is pointing.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that showsthe compass direction in which the front ofthe car is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with English abbreviations:
N(north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (south
east), S (south), SW (south west), W (west)
and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when the car is started or when key position II is
active, see Key positions - functions at differ-ent levels (p. 70). To deactivate/activate thecompass - press in the button on the under- side of the mirror using a paper clip for exam-ple.
CalibrationThe compass may need calibrating to showthe correct compass direction. The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass should be calibrated if the caris moved across several magnetic zones. Proceed as follows to perform calibration:
1. Stop the car in a large open area free
from steel structures and high-voltage power lines.
2. Start the car and switch off all electrical equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.)and ensure that all doors are closed.
NOTE
Calibration may fail or not start at all if electrical equipment is not switched off.
3. Hold the button on the underside of therearview mirror depressed approx. 3 seconds. The number of thecurrent magnetic zone is shown.

WARNING
The car’s driving properties change depending on the weight and positioningof the load.
To bear in mind when loading
• Position the load firmly against the rear seat's backrest.
Note that objects must not prevent the func- tion of the WHIPS system for the front seats ifany of the rear seat's backrests is foldeddown, seeWHIPS - seating position (p. 35).
• Centre the load.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads onlowered backrests.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft toavoid damaging the upholstery. •
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-lets with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h,carry the impact of an item weighing1000 kg.
WARNING
The protection provided by the inflatable curtain in the headlining may be compro-mised or eliminated by high loads.
• Never load cargo above the backrest.

• Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha- racteristics are altered by roof loads. Forinformation about the maximum allowableload on the roof, including load carriersand any space box, Weights (p. 390).
