Child safety Children should always be seated safely when traveling in the vehicle.
General informationVolvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children.Remember that, regardless of age and size, achild should always be properly restrained in avehicle. Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more con-venient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lapbelts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.Such child restraint systems can help protectchildren in vehicles in the event of an accidentonly if they are used properly. However, chil-dren could be endangered in a crash if thechild restraints are not properly secured in thevehicle. Failure to follow the installationinstructions for your child restraint can resultin your child striking the vehicle's interior in asudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In anaccident, a child held in a person's arms canbe crushed between the vehicle's interior andan unrestrained person. The child could alsobe injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a suddenmaneuver or impact. The same can also hap-pen if the infant or child rides unrestrained onthe seat. Other occupants should also beproperly restrained to help reduce the chanceof injuring or increasing the injury of a child. All states and provinces have legislation gov- erning how and where children should be car-ried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations exist-ing in your state or province. Recent accidentstatistics have shown that children are safer inrear seating positions than front seating posi-tions when properly restrained. A childrestraint system can help protect a child in avehicle. Here's what to look for when selectinga child restraint system: It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada,CMVSS 213. Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight anddevelopment - the label required by the stand-ard or regulation, or instructions for infantrestraints, typically provide this information. In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions thatare provided with the restraint. Be sure youunderstand them and can use the device prop-erly and safely in this vehicle. A misused childrestraint system can result in increased inju-

64ries for both the infant or child and other occu- pants in the vehicle. When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with thestandard seat belt fastened. The best way tohelp protect the child here is to place the childon a cushion so that the seat belt is properlylocated on the hips. Legislation in your state orprovince may mandate the use of a child seator cushion in combination with the seat belt,depending on the child's age and/or size.Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cush- ion and backrest can be obtained from yourVolvo retailer. See also the article "Integratedbooster cushion."
WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child booster 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 withthe seat belt fastened.
Sedan models: Keep vehicle doors andtrunk locked and keep remote controlsout of a child's reach. Unsupervisedchildren could lock themselves in anopen trunk and risk injury. Childrenshould be taught not to play in vehi-cles.
On hot days, the temperature in thevehicle interior can rise very quickly.Exposure to these high temperaturesfor even a short period of time cancause heat-related injury or death.Small children are particularly at risk.Never leave children unattended in avehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendationsWhy does Volvo believe that no child shouldsit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite sim-ple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect anadult. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed inthe front seat, even if he or she is properly bel-ted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvohas been an innovator in the field of safetysince it was founded. And we have no inten-tion of resting on our laurels. But we needyour help. Please remember to put your chil-dren 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 expi-ration date

Tourist - alternative speedometer
Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can bechanged via system settings in the center dis-play.
Trip odometerThere are two trip odometers: TM and TA. TM can be reset manually and TA is reset automatically if the vehicle is not used for fourhours. During a drive, the trip odometer registers data on:
Mileage
Driving time
Average speed
Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's lastreset are displayed.
OdometerThe odometer records the vehicle's total mile-age. This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumptionThis gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consump-tion at that moment. The reading is updatedabout once a second.
Distance to empty tankThe trip computer calculates the dis-tance that can be driven on the fuelremaining in the tank.
This calculation is based on average fuel con- sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles)and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. When the gauge displays "----", there is not enough fuel remaining to calculate the remain-ing mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
The information will change based on your driving style.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certainamount of fuel.
Tourist - alternative speedometerThe alternative digital speedometer makes iteasier to drive in countries where speed limitsigns are shown in a different measurementunit than the one shown in the vehicle'sgauges.
