2007 VOLVO XC70 child restraint

2007 Volvo XC70
WARNING!
l Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint\
. It should always be routed
under the head restraint.
l Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads im\
posed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult s\
eat belts or harnesses. The
anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the eve\
nt 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 shoul\
d a collision occur.
l 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.

Integrated booster cushion
Integrated booster cushion (option)
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to he\
lp safeguard a child seated in
the center position of the rear seat. When using the integrated booster \
cushion, the child must be secured
with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
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 C\
anada's weight recommendation
is 40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).
The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the s\
houlder strap crosses over the
child's collarbone, not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushio\
n 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 31). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's

Securing cargo
As a safety precaution, your vehicle is equipped with four eyelets in th\
e cargo space to which straps can
be attached to secure luggage.
WARNING!
l The eyelets for securing cargo are not to be used as passenger restraint\
s or as anchorages for child
restraints.
l Unless the vehicle is equipped with an optional Volvo auxiliary seat for\
children, passengers
should not ride in the rear cargo area.
Keep the following in mind when loading the vehicle
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such\
as the number of passengers,
the amount of cargo, the weight of any accessories that may be installed\
, etc. See the section "Vehicle
loading" in the chapter "Wheels and tires" for more detailed information\
.
l Remember that a 44 lbs object produces a force of 2,200 lbs in a head-on\
collision at 30 mph.
