Using the top tether anchorages
- Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
- Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its att\
achment to the anchorage.
- Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint m\
anufacturer's instructions. Tension
the top tether strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt\
have been firmly tensioned.
See
page 38 for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.
WARNING!
l Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint\
. It should always be routed
under the head restraint.
l Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads im\
posed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult s\
eat belts or harnesses. The
anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the eve\
nt 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 shoul\
d a collision occur.
l 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.
NOTE:
l 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, b\
e sure to fill out and return the
registration card that comes with new child restraints.
l Child restraint recall information is readily available in both the U.S.\
and Canada. For recall
information in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline \
at 1- 800-424-9393. In Canada,
visit Transport Canada's Child Safety website at

Integrated booster cushion (option)
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to he\
lp safeguard a child seated in
the rear seat. When using an integrated 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, Transport C\
anada's weight recommendation
is 40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).
The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the s\
houlder strap crosses over the
child's collarbone, not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushio\
n does not result in proper
positioning of the shoulder strap, then the child should be placed in a \
properly secured child restraint
(see the information beginning on
page 31). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's
back or under the arm.
Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushi\
on.
WARNING!
l DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
l Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owne\
r's manual.
l MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELY LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS
SEATED.
l 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, Trans\
port Canada's weight
recommendation is 40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).

As a safety precaution, all cargo in your vehicle should be securely anc\
hored to keep it from being
thrown forward in the event of sudden braking, etc. The vehicle is equip\
ped with eyelets in the cargo
space to which straps or other cargo restraints can be attached.
WARNING!
The eyelets are not to be used as passenger restraints or as anchorages \
for child
restraints.
Consult your Volvo retailer about suitable accessories for this purpose.\

Remember that an object weighing 44 lbs (20 kg) produces a force of 2,\
200 lbs (1,000 kg) in a head-
on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h)!
Keep the following in mind when loading the vehicle:
l The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such\
as the number of passengers,
the amount of cargo, the weight of any accessories that may be installed\
, etc. See the section "Vehicle
loading" in the chapter "Wheel and tires" for more detailed information.\

l Load the cargo against the backrest.
l Load heavy cargo as low as possible.
l If no one is sitting in the outboard rear seat(s), reinforce the backr\
est by fastening the seat belts.
l Never load cargo above the backrest without a cargo net.
