Booster cushions
Securing a booster cushion
 WARNING 
A child seat should never be  used in the front  passenger  seat of any  vehicle with a  front  passenger  airbag - not even
if the "Passenger airbag off"  symbol  near the rear-view  mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant
Weight  Sensor). If the severity of an  accident were  to cause the airbag to inflate, this  could lead to serious injury or
death to a  child seated in this  position.
Booster cushions are recommended for children who have outgrown convertible seats.
1. Place the booster  cushion in the rear seat of the vehicle.
2. With the child properly seated on the booster  cushion, attach the seat belt to or around the cushion according  to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. 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 child.
 WARNING 
 The hip section of the three-point seat belt must  fit snugly across the child's  hips, not across the stomach.
ProCarManuals.com 

 The shoulder  section of the three-point seat belt should be  positioned across the chest and  shoulder.
 The shoulder  belt must  never be  placed behind the child's  back or under the arm.

ISOFIX lower anchors
Using  the ISOFIX  lower child seat anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats  are located in the rear, outboard seats,  hidden below  the backrest
cushions. Symbols  on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor positions (see the illustration above).
To access the anchors:
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and  locate the anchors by feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according  to the manufacturer's instructions.
 NOTE 
 The rear seat's center  position is not equipped with ISOFIX lower anchors. When installing a  child restraint in this
position, attach the restraint's top tether strap  (if  it is so equipped) to the top tether anchorage point (see the
information on page 42
) and  secure the restraint with the vehicle's center  seat belt (see the information beginning on
page 33
).
 Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation  instructions, and  use both ISOFIX lower anchors and  top
tethers whenever  possible.
 WARNING 
The ISOFIX lower child restraint anchors are only intended  for use with child seats  positioned in the outboard
seating positions. These anchors are not certified for use with any  child restraint that is positioned in the center
seating position. When securing a  child restraint in the center  seating position, use only the vehicle's center  seat belt.

 WARNING 
Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration above). If the attachment is not correctly
fastened, the child restraint may not be  properly secured in the event of a  collision.
42 01 Safety
Top tether anchors
Top tether anchors
Volvo vehicles are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.
Using  the top tether anchorages
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Release the backrest and  tilt it forward to access the anchorage. Return the seat back to the upright position and
make sure it locks in place after the attachment has been fastened to the anchorage.
ProCarManuals.com 

3. Route the top tether strap  under the head restraint and  fasten its  attachment to the anchorage.
 WARNING 
Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may
not be  properly restrained  in the event of a  collision.
4. Firmly tension the top tether strap  according  to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether
strap  only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
See  page 41
 for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.
 WARNING 
 Never  route a  top tether strap  over the top or around the head restraint. It should always be  routed under 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 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
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.

 NOTE 
 For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from  the
outside.
 Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming  procedures  (for example, if you purchase a  new vehicle).
 For your own security, erase all programmed buttons  on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your
vehicle.
 Metallic sun protection films should not be  used on any  windows in a  vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere  with the transceivers function.
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be  used in place of your handheld transmitters.
 NOTE 
The HomeLink universal transceiver  will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without
switching on the vehicle's ignition.
Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security
system etc.
Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be  used at any  time.
 WARNING 
 If you use HomeLink to open  a  garage door or gate, be  sure no one  is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
 Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any  garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and
"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any  garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an  object,  signalling  the door to "stop" and
"reverse" does not meet  current federal safety standards. Using a  garage door opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this  matter, call  toll-free 1-800-355-3515. (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com
).
Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents)
1. For first time training, press and  hold the two outer HomeLink buttons,  releasing only when the HomeLink indicator
light begins to flash  after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this  step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand -held transmitter 1-3 inches away from  the HomeLink surface
77 02 Instruments and controls

(located on your sun visor), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and  hold both the desired HomeLink button and  hand  held transmitter
button. DO  NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and  then rapidly. When the indicator light
flashes rapidly, both buttons  may be  released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

4. Place the head restraints in the plastic tubes, which  are now accessible on the under side of the seat cushions.
 WARNING 
 The red lock indicator is VISIBLE when the backrest is NOT locked in position and  hidden when the backrest is
correctly locked in place. When the backrest is in the upright position, it must  always be  correctly locked in place.
 When the rear seat is folded down, do not place heavy objects against the backs of the front  seats.  This places a
severe strain on the folded down backrest of the rear seat. Be sure to secure cargo.
 Cargo  must  not be  stacked higher than the top of seat backs. This will reduce the possibility of luggage, etc.
becoming  projectiles during sudden maneuvers, rapid braking or an  accident.
