Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach the strap for the lower tether anchors
in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH attachment
points. If the child restraint is not equipped
with straps for the lower tether anchors, or if
the child restraint is used on the center seat-
ing position, follow the instructions for
attaching a child restraint using the auto-
matic locking seat belt.
4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the child
seat.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo com-
partment cover, this must be removed before
a child seat can be attached in the tether
anchors.
WARNING
•
Always refer to the recommendations
made by the child restraint manufacturer.
•
Volvo recommends that the top tether
anchors be used when installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint.
•
Never route a top tether strap over the
top of the head restraint. The strap
should be routed beneath the head
restraint.
•
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses. The ancho-
rages are not able to withstand excessive
forces on them in the event 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 anchor-
age runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
•
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.
