General information on child safety

Child seats - location
Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 40) in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti-vated (p. 30). If a child is sitting on the frontpassenger seat then he/she could suffer seri-ous injury if the airbag deploys.
The label for the airbag becomes visible when the passenger door is opened, see illustration (p.30). You may place:
• a child seat/booster cushion on the front passenger seat provided there is no acti-vated airbag on the front passenger side.
• one or more child seats/booster cushionsin the rear seat.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air-bag (SRS) is activated. No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag(SRS) is activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.
WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel braces or some other design that couldrest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but-ton must not be used, as they could causethe seatbelt buckle to open accidentally. Do not allow the upper section of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.

• the seatbelt does not lie across thechild's throat or below the shoulder (seepreceding illustrations)

WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace- ment is only carried out by an authorisedVolvo workshop. Do not make any modifi-cations or additions to the booster cush-ion. If an integrated booster cushion hasbeen subjected to a major load, such as inconjunction with a collision, the entirebooster cushion must be replaced. Even ifthe booster cushion appears to be undam-aged, it may not afford the same level ofprotection. The booster cushion must alsobe replaced if it is heavily worn.
