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 43
) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt (see the information beginning on
page 34
).
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). 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 only the vehicle's center seat belt.
43 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.
Page 43 of 275
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 33
).
5. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.
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.
44 01 Safety
Child restraint registration and recalls
Registering a child restraint
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
