2007 Volvo XC90
WARNING!
l Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the\
front passenger's seat. We
also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height \
who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
l On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quick\
ly. Exposure to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related inju\
ry or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
pg. 30 Safety
Child safety
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the \
driver's belt) is equipped with a
locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
- Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat man\
ufacturer's instructions.
- Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
- Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual\
way.
- Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is\
normal.
The belt will now be locked in place.
This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked an\
d the belt is fully
retracted.
WARNING!
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the\
front passenger's seat. We also
recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear \
seat with the seat belt
properly fastened.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a v\
ehicle? It's quite simple really. A
front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect\
an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child sh\
ould never be placed in the front

3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (l\
ock) until a distinct click is audible.
4. Pull the shoulder section of the seat belt out as far as possible to \
activate the belt's automatic locking
function.
5. Press the convertible seat firmly in place, let the seat belt retract\
and pull it taut. A sound from the seat
belt retractor's automatic locking function will be audible at this time\
and is normal. The seat belt should
now be locked in place.
NOTE: The locking retractor will automatically release when the seat belt is \
unbuckled and allowed to
retract fully.
6. Push and pull the convertible seat to ensure that it is held securely\
in place by the seat belt.
WARNING!
It should not be possible to move the child restraint more than 1 in. (\
2.5 cm) in any
direction.

Securing a booster cushion
1. Booster cushions are recommended for children who have outgrown conve\
rtible seats.
2. Place the booster cushion in the rear seat of the vehicle.
3. With the child properly seated on the booster cushion, attach the sea\
t belt to or around the cushion
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock\
) until a distinct click is audible.
4. Ensure that the seat belt is pulled taut and fits snugly around the c\
hild.
WARNING!
l The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the \
child's hips, not across the
stomach.
l The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned a\
cross the chest and shoulder.
l The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under \
the arm.

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).
