Child restraint anchorages
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Theyare located on the rear side of the backrests.
Securing a child seat1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the headrestraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower tetherstraps, or the restraint is used in the cen-ter seating position, follow instructions forsecuring a child restraint using the Auto-matic Locking Retractor seat belt (seepage 39). 4. Firmly tension all straps. Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing thechild seat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional cargo area cover, this cover should beremoved before a child seat is attached tothe child restraint anchors.
WARNING
•
Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufac-turer.
• Volvo recommends that the top tetheranchors be used when installing a for-ward-facing child restraint.
• Never route a top tether strap over thetop of the head restraint. The strapshould be routed beneath the headrestraint.
• Child restraint anchorages aredesigned to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted childrestraints. Under no circumstances arethey to be used for adult seat belts orharnesses. The anchorages are notable to withstand excessive forces onthem in the event of collision if full har-ness seat belts or adult seat belts areinstalled to them. An adult who uses abelt anchored in a child restraintanchorage runs a great risk of suffer-ing severe injuries should a collisionoccur.
• Do not install rear speakers thatrequire the removal of the top tetheranchors or interfere with the properuse of the top tether strap.

Integrated booster cushion* 01
52* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Integrated two-stage booster cushion 1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions are located in the outboard seating positions.These booster cushions have been speciallydesigned to help safeguard children in therear seat. They should be stowed (foldeddown into the seat cushion) when not in use.When using an integrated booster cushion,the child must be secured with the vehicle'sthree-point seat belt.
Use these booster cushions only with children whose weight isbetween: • Stage 1: 48 – 80 lbs (22 – 36 kg)
• Stage 2: 33 – 55 lbs (15 – 25 kg)
and whose height is between:• Stage 1: 45 – 55 in. (115 – 140 cm)
• Stage 2: 37 – 47 in. (95 – 120 cm)
In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs (18 – 36 kg). The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strapcrosses over the child's collarbone, not overthe child's neck. If using a booster cushiondoes not result in proper positioning of theshoulder strap, then the child should beplaced in a properly secured child restraint(see page 41). The shoulder belt must neverbe placed behind the child's back or underthe arm.
Correct seating position: child's head is below the head restraint and the shoulder belt is acrossthe collarbone
Incorrect seating position: the child's head is above the head restraint and the shoulder belt isnot across the collarbone Before driving, check that:
• The integrated two-stage booster cushion is set in the correct position according tothe child's height and weight (see thetable below) and is locked in position.

WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehi-cle's owner's manual. MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELYLOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD ISSEATED. • In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occu-pied, the entire booster cushion andseat belt must be replaced. Thebooster cushion should also bereplaced if it is badly worn or damagedin any way. This work should be per-formed by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician only.

your engine does overheat so that you must stop the engine, always allow the engine tocool before attempting to check oil and cool-ant levels. See page 354 for more information.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe placeand check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir, see page 354. If the level in the reservoiris below MIN, the vehicle should be transpor-
ted to an authorized Volvo workshop to havethe brake system checked. If the
