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.

Convertible seats
Securing a convertible seat with a seat belt
NOTE
Refer to page 40
for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors.
Convertible seats can be used in either a forward or rearward-facing position, depending on the age and size of the
child.
ProCarManuals.com

WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suitable for the child's age and size. See the convertible seat manufacturer's
recommendations.
WARNING
A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo
recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends
that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of the vehicle.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Convertible child seats should be installed in the rear seat only.
A rear-facing convertible seat should not be positioned behind the driver's seat unless there is adequate space for
safe installation.

Securing a booster cushion
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.
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.

As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your car's engine, transmission, electrical
and emission systems.
The CHECK ENGINE light will light up if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting.
When this happens, please have your car checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as
possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's behavior.
Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls, and drivability. Extended driving
without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your car.
NOTE
Canadian models are equipped with the second symbol.
2. Anti-lock Brake system (ABS)
If the warning light comes on, there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will still
function).
The vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection. See page 147
for
additional information.
NOTE
Canadian models are equipped with the second symbol.
3. Rear fog light
This symbol indicates that the rear fog light (located in the driver's side taillight cluster) is on.
4. Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC)
This indicator symbol flashes when the DSTC is actively working to stabilize the car. See page 149
for more detailed
information.
5. Not in use
6. Fuel level warning light
When this light comes on, there are approximately 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.
