Child restraint anchorages
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint
top tether anchorages in the rear seat. They
are located on the rear side of the backrests.
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 lower tether straps to the lower
ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child
restraint is not equipped with lower tether
straps, or the restraint is used in the cen-
ter seating position, follow instructions for
securing a child restraint using the Auto-
matic Locking Retractor seat belt (see
page 38).
4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional
cargo area cover, this cover should be
removed before a child seat is attached to
the child restraint anchors.
WARNING
•
Always refer to the recommendations
made by the child restraint manufac-
turer.
•
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 anchorages are not
able to withstand excessive forces on
them in the event of collision if full har-
ness 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 suffer-
ing 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.
