Top tether anchors01
47 Child restraint anchorages
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top
tether anchorages in the rear seat. They are
located on the rear side of the backrests.
Securing a child seat1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISO-
FIX/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 37).
4. Firmly tension all straps.Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional
cargo area cover, this cover should be
removed before a child seat is attached to
the child restraint anchors.
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 colli-
sion 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.

01 Safety
Integrated booster cushion 01
48* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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.

below) and is locked in position.

Stowing the two-stage integrated
booster cushion
The booster cushion can be folded down com-
pletely (stowed) from either the stage 1 or stage
2 positions.
NOTE
The booster cushion cannot be moved from
the stage 2 (upper) position to the stage 1
(lower) position. It must first be folded down
completely to the stowed position, and then
adjusted to stage 1.
Pull the handle forward to release the
booster cushion.
Press down on the center of the booster
cushion to return it to the stowed position.
NOTE
The booster cushion must be in the stowed
position before the rear seat backrests are
folded down.
CAUTION
Be sure there are no loose objects under the
booster cushion before it is stowed.
WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can
occur
Follow all instructions on the
booster cushion and in the vehi-
cle's owner's manual.
MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER
CUSHION IS SECURELY
LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS
SEATED.
•
Use this booster cushion only with chil-
dren whose height and weight are
within the permitted limits shown in the
table (see page 48).
•In the event of a collision while the inte-
grated booster cushion was occupied,
the entire booster cushion and seat belt
must be replaced. The booster cushion
should also be replaced if it is badly
worn or damaged in any way. This work
should be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician only.

Introduction
Two remote keys or optional Personal Car
Communicators (PCC) are provided with your
vehicle. They enable you to unlock the doors
and tailgate, and also function as ignition keys
to start the vehicle or operate electrical com-
ponents. The remote keys contain detachable
metal key blades for manually locking or
unlocking the driver's door and the glove com-
partment. The visible ends of these key blades
are unique to make it easier to identify "your"
remote key. Up to six remotes can be pro-
grammed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality com-
pared with the standard remote key.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all referen-
ces to the remote key also pertain to the
PCC unless otherwise stated.
WARNING
Never leave the remote key in the ignition
slot if children are to remain in the vehicle.
See page 82 for more information on the var-
ious ignition modes.
Detachable key bladeEach remote key or PCC contains a detachable
metal key blade for mechanically locking or
unlocking the driver's door and the glove com-
partment, and to enable the private locking
function. See page 59 for more information
on the key blade and page 62 for information
on the private locking function. The key blades
have a unique code, which is used if new ones
need to be produced. This code is available at
an authorized Volvo retailer.
The visible ends of these key blades are unique
to make it easier to identify "your" remote key.
Loss of a remote keyIf either of the remote keys is lost, the other
should be taken with the car to a Volvo retailer.
As an anti-theft measure, the code of the lost
remote key must be erased from the system.
NOTE
Additional or duplicate remote control keys
can be obtained from any Authorized Volvo
Retailer.
You can also obtain additional or duplicate
remote control keys from certain independ-
ent repair facilities and locksmiths that are
qualified to make remote control keys. Each
key must be programmed to work with your
vehicle.
