Top tether anchors 01

Child restraint anchorages
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Theyare located on the rear parcel shelf.
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Fold up the plastic cover over the anchor-age to be used.
3. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor.
4. Fold down the outboard head restraints or lower the center head restraint for eas- ier access to the ISOFIX/LATCH anchor.
5. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower tetherstraps, or the restraint is used in the cen-ter seating position, follow instructions forsecuring a child restraint using the Auto-matic Locking Retractor seat belt (seepage 39).
6. Firmly tension all straps. Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing thechild seat.
WARNING
• Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufac-turer.
• Volvo recommends that the top tetheranchors be used when installing a for-ward-facing child restraint.
• Never route a top tether strap over thetop of the head restraint. The strapshould be routed beneath the headrestraint.
• Child restraint anchorages aredesigned to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted childrestraints. Under no circumstances arethey to be used for adult seat belts orharnesses. The anchorages are notable to withstand excessive forces onthem in the event of collision if full har-ness seat belts or adult seat belts areinstalled to them. An adult who uses abelt anchored in a child restraintanchorage runs a great risk of suffer-ing severe injuries should a collisionoccur.
• Do not install rear speakers thatrequire the removal of the top tetheranchors or interfere with the properuse of the top tether strap.

Locking and unlocking the vehicle
From outside the vehicleThe remote key locks and unlocks all of the doors and the trunk. Before the vehicle can be locked from the outside with the remote key, the driver's doormust be closed. Any other door/trunk that isopen will be locked and the alarm will bearmed.
NOTE
Be sure the remote key is outside of the vehicle before the other doors/trunk areclosed to help avoid locking the remoteinside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional keyless drive system, all doors/trunk must beclosed before the vehicle can be locked. The first press on the unlock button unlocks the driver's door and a second press unlocksthe other doors and the trunk (see also page57). This setting can be changed in the menusystem. See page 197 for a description. If the locks repeatedly do not react when the unlock button is pressed, it may be necessaryto replace the batteries in the remote, seepage 57. In this case the vehicle can beunlocked with the detachable key blade. Seepage 61.
Manual lockingIn certain situations (e.g., if there is no electri-cal current in the vehicle), the doors can belocked manually. The detachable key blade (see page 60) can be used in the lock cylinder in the driver'sdoor to lock that door. The other doors do not have lock cylinders and the slot on the rear edge of each doorhas to be used to lock it. This will lock thedoor from the outside but it can still beopened from inside the vehicle. To do so:
Manually locking a door
–Insert the key blade into the slot and turn it 90 degrees to lock that door (the slot ina particular door locks that door only).
In the horizontal position, the door cannot be opened from the outside.
In the vertical position, the door can be opened from the inside and the outside.
NOTE
If the manual child safety lock (see page 51) is activated for a rear side doorand that door is also locked manually, thedoor cannot be opened from the outsideor inside. The door can only be unlockedwith the remote key or the central lockingbutton.
