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 avail-
able in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall
information in the U.S., call the U.S. Govern-
ment's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child
Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/

01 Safety
Integrated booster cushion01

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.49 Integrated two-stage booster
cushion*
1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions
are located in the outboard seating positions.
These booster cushions have been specially
designed to help safeguard children in the rear
seat. They should be stowed (folded down into
the seat cushion) when not in use. When using
an integrated booster cushion, the child must
be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat
belt.
Use these booster cushions only with
children whose weight is between:
•
Stage 1: 48 – 80 lbs (22 – 36 kg)
•
Stage 2: 33 – 55 lbs (15 – 25 kg)
and whose height is between:
•
Stage 1: 45 – 55 in. (115 – 140 cm)
•
Stage 2: 37 – 47 in. (95 – 120 cm)
In Canada, Transport Canada's
weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs
(18 – 36 kg).
The booster cushions are 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 resultin proper positioning of the shoulder strap,
then the child should be placed in a properly
secured child restraint (see page 39). The
shoulder belt must never be placed behind the
child's back or under the arm.
Correct seating position: child's head is below the
head restraint and the shoulder belt is across the
collarbone
Incorrect seating position: the child's head is
above the head restraint and the shoulder belt is
not across the collarbone
Before driving, check that:
•The integrated two-stage booster cushion
is set in the correct position for according
to the child's height and weight (see the
table below) and is locked in position.

Release and lower the center head
restraint (see page 85) if the center and/or
right section of the backrest is to be low-
ered. The outboard head restraints fold
down automatically.
Pull up the backrest release control on the
respective section(s) and fold the sec-
tion(s) down.
NOTE
It may be necessary to move the front seats
forward or put their backrests in a more
upright position before folding down the
rear seat backrests.
WARNING
•When one or more sections of the back-
rest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place
by pushing and pulling it. The red indi-
cators should also not be visible.
•Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
•Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
•Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading
the vehicle.
•Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of time
can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.

NOTE
On models equipped with this cover, it
should be removed before a child seat is
attached to the child restraint anchors.
Cargo net*
G034213
Cargo net mounted in rear position
Your vehicle can be equipped with a cargo net
made of strong nylon fabric that helps prevent
objects in the cargo area from moving forward
into the passenger compartment.
The net can be attached in two different places:
•Rear position: behind the rear seat back-
rest
•Front position: behind the front seat back-
rests
WARNING
•Be sure that the cargo net's upper
attachment hooks are properly inserted
in the brackets and that the lower straps
are correctly attached and pulled taut.
•A damaged cargo net should never be
used.
•Objects in the cargo area should be
securely anchored, even if the cargo net
is correctly installed and in use.
Mounting the cargo netThe cargo net is easiest to put in place through
one of the rear doors.
1. Fold out the cargo net and be sure that the
upper hinged rod is straight and locked in
position.
2. Insert one end of the rod into the front or
rear bracket (near the ceiling). Be sure that
the lock on the lower strap is facing toward
you.
3. Insert the other end of the rod in the oppo-
site bracket.
– Be sure to press the end hooks on the rod
as far forward as possible in the brackets.
Cargo net in rear position
4. Mounting in the rear position: With the net's
rod attached to the rear upper brackets,
hook the lower straps in the floor eyelets in
the cargo area. Pull the net strap taut.
