Child seat positioning

It is important to position the child seat in the
right place in the car. The choice of location
depends, amongst other things, on the type
of child seat and whether the passenger air-
bag is activated.

Rear-facing child seat and airbag are not compatible.

Always fit rear-facing child seats in the second
or third

*

seat row if the passenger airbag is

activated. If a child is sitting on the front pas-
senger seat then he/she could suffer serious
injury if the airbag deploys.

If the passenger airbag is deactivated then
rear-facing child seats can be fitted on the
front passenger seat.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try. Check what does apply.

WARNING

Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front

of the front passenger seat.
Never use a rear-facing child seat on the

front passenger seat if the airbag is acti-

vated.
Front-facing passengers (children and

adults) must never sit on the front passen-

ger seat if the passenger airbag is deacti-

vated.
Failure to follow the advice given above

can endanger life or lead to serious per-

sonal injury.

Label for passenger airbag

Label on the passenger side's sun visor.

The warning label for the passenger airbag is
positioned as shown above.

Child seat mounting

It is important to remember a number of
things when a child seat is mounted and
used, which depend on where the child seat
is positioned.

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel

braces or some other design that could

rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but-

ton must not be used, as they could cause

the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not secure the straps for the child seat

into the seat's horizontal adjustment bar or

in springs, rails or beams under the seat.

Sharp edges may damage the straps.
Do not allow the upper section of the child

seat to rest against the windscreen.

NOTE

When using child safety equipment, it is
important to read the installation instruc-
tions included.

In the event of questions when fitting child
safety equipment, contact the manufac-
turer for clearer instructions.

NOTE

Never leave a child seat loose in the car.
Always secure it according to the instruc-
tions for the child seat, even when it is not
in use.

NOTE

Long-term installation and use of child
seats may cause wear and tear on the car's
fittings. Volvo recommends using the kick
guard accessory to protect the car's fit-
tings.

Installation in the front seat

•

When fitting rear-facing child seats, check
that the passenger airbag is deactivated.

•

When fitting front-facing child seats,
check that the passenger airbag is acti-
vated.

mended by Volvo, are universally approved
or are semi-universal, and where the car is
included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.

•

ISOFIX child seats can only be fitted when
the car is equipped with the ISOFIX con-
sole

If the child seat is equipped with lower
straps, Volvo recommends that the lower
mounting points are used with these

5

.

•

If the child seat is equipped with support
legs, always fit the support leg/support
legs directly to the floor. Never fit a sup-
port leg to a footrest or other object.

facilitate child seat installation.

Installation in the second seat row

ommendations from the child seat manu-
facturer.

•

In cars with a third seat row

*

, the second

seat row must be adjusted to its rearmost
position. If a child seat is also used in the
third row then an exception can be made.
In which case, always check that the child
seat is still fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.

•

If the child seat is equipped with lower
straps, never adjust the position of the
seat in front after the straps have been fit-
ted in the lower mounting points. Always
remember to remove the lower straps
when the child seat is not installed.

•

If the child seat is equipped with support
legs, always fit the support leg/support
legs directly to the floor. Never fit a sup-
port leg to a footrest or other object.

•

The ISOFIX guide must not be used when
fitting child seats.

With the installation of an infant seat in the rear seat,

Volvo recommends a distance of at least 50 mm

(2 inches) from the front part of the infant seat to the

rearmost part of the seat in front.

Installation in the third seat row

*

•

Only use child seats that are recom-
mended by Volvo, are universally approved
or are semi-universal, and where the car is
included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.

•

Child seats with support legs must not be
fitted in the third row of seats.

•

If necessary, adjust the second seat row
forward in order to make enough space. If
a child seat is also fitted on the second
seat row, check that the child seat is still
fitted in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
