WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or childbooster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommendthat children under 140 cm (4 feet7 inches) in height who have outgrownthese devices sit in the rear seat with theseat belt fastened.
On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposureto these high temperatures for even ashort period of time can cause heat-rela-ted injury or death. Small children are par-ticularly at risk. Never leave children unat-tended in a vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.

Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit inthe front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really.A front airbag is a very powerful device designed,by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speedof inflation, a child should never be placed in thefront seat, even if he or she is properly belted orstrapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has beenan innovator in the field of safety since it wasfounded. And we have no intention of resting onour laurels. But we need your help. Please
remember to put your children in the back seat,and buckle them up.
WARNING
A child restraint should never be reused if:
The vehicle has been involved in a colli-sion, no matter how minor
Its history is unknown
It is older than the manufacturer's expira-tion date

Volvo has some very specific
recommendations
Always wear your seat belt.
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safetydevice which, when used with a three-pointseat belt can help reduce serious injuriesduring certain types of accidents. Volvo rec-ommends that you do not disconnect the air-bag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone inthe vehicle be properly restrained.
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants(adults and children) shorter than 140 cm(4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the rear seatof any vehicle with a front passenger side air-bag.
Drive safely!

A small child's head represents a consid-erable part of its total weight and its neckis still very weak. Volvo recommends thatchildren up to age 4 travel, properlyrestrained, facing rearward. In addition,Volvo recommends that children shouldride rearward facing, properly restrained,as long as possible.

Automatic Locking Retractor/
