Securing a booster cushion
1. Booster cushions are recommended for children who have outgrown conve\
rtible seats.
2. Place the booster cushion in the rear seat of the vehicle.
3. With the child properly seated on the booster cushion, attach the sea\
t belt to or around the cushion
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
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 c\
hild.
WARNING!
l The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the \
child's hips, not across the
stomach.
l The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned a\
cross the chest and shoulder.
l The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under \
the arm.

Using the ISOFIX lower child seat anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats are located in the second \
row, outboard seats, hidden
below the backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark th\
e 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 locat\
e the anchors by feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the IS\
OFIX lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufactu\
rer's instructions.
NOTE:
l The rear seat's center position is not equipped with ISOFIX lower anchor\
s. 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 39) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat
belt (see the information beginning on
page 31).
l Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, \
and use both ISOFIX lower
anchors and top tethers whenever possible.

Using the top tether anchorages
- Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
- Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its att\
achment to the anchorage.
- Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint m\
anufacturer's instructions. Tension
the top tether strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt\
have been firmly tensioned.
See
page 38 for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.
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.
NOTE:
l 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, b\
e sure to fill out and return the
registration card that comes with new child restraints.
l 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

Integrated booster cushion (option)
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to he\
lp safeguard a child seated in
the rear seat. When using an 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
back or under the arm.
Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushi\
on.
WARNING!
l DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
l Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owne\
r's manual.
l MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELY LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS
SEATED.
l 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, Trans\
port Canada's weight
recommendation is 40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).
