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.
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.
40 01 Safety
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 as shown. To access the anchors, kneel on the
seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel. Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and
use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
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
ProCarManuals.com

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 41
) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt (see the information beginning on
page 32
).
Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top
tethers whenever possible.
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.
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 the vehicle's center seat belt.
41 01 Safety
Top tether anchors
Child restraint anchorages
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat.
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Fold up the plastic cover over the anchorage to be used.
3. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor.

4. 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 center seating position, follow instructions for securing a child restraint
using the Automatic Locking Retractor seat belt (see page 31
).
5. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.
NOTE
Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall.
To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with
new child restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily available in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S.,
call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child Safety
website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/childsafety/menu.htm
.
WARNING
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 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.
42 01 Safety
Integrated booster cushion
Integrated booster cushion (option)1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushion is located in the center seating position. This booster cushion has been
specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the rear seat. This cushion should be stowed (folded up into the
rear seat backrest) when not in use. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the
vehicle's three-point seat belt.
ProCarManuals.com

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 Canada's weight recommendation is 40-80 lbs (18-
36 kg).
The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone,
not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushion 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 32
). The shoulder
belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
1Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built- in booster cushion.
