SAFETY

64

WARNING

•

Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 140 cm (4 feet
7 inches) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened.

•

Sedan models: Keep vehicle doors and
trunk locked and keep remote controls
out of a child's reach. Unsupervised chil-
dren could lock themselves in an open
trunk and risk injury. Children should be
taught not to play in vehicles.

•

On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-
cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
to these high temperatures for even a
short 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 in
the 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 speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or
strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been
an innovator in the field of safety since it was
founded. And we have no intention of resting on
our 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 safety
device which, when used with a three-point
seat belt can help reduce serious injuries
during certain types of accidents. Volvo rec-
ommends that you do not disconnect the air-
bag system in your vehicle.

•

Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in
the 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 seat
of any vehicle with a front passenger side air-
bag.

•

Drive safely!

Child restraints

Suitable child restraints should always be used
when children travel in the vehicle.

Child restraint systems

Infant seat

There are three main types of child restraint sys-
tems: infant seats, convertible seats and booster
cushions. They are classified according to the
child's age and size.

The child restraint should be secured using a
three-point seat belt, ISOFIX/LATCH anchors or
top tether anchors.

Convertible seat

WARNING

A child seat should never be used in the front

passenger seat of any vehicle with a front

passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger

airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is

illuminated. If the severity of an accident were

to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead

to serious injury or death to a child seated in

this position.

Booster cushion

WARNING

Always refer to the child restraint manufactur-

er's instructions for detailed information on

securing the restraint.

||

SAFETY

66

WARNING

•

When not in use, keep the child restraint
system secured or remove it from the
passenger compartment to help prevent it
from injuring passengers in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.

•

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

Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/
ELR)

To make child seat installation easier, each seat
belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with
a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt
taut.

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:

1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat accord-

ing to the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.

3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle

(lock) in the usual way.

4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around

the child seat.

A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audi-
ble at this time and is normal. The belt will now
be locked in place. This function is automatically
disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the
belt is fully retracted.

WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child booster

cushions/backrests in the front passenger's

seat. We also recommend that children who

have outgrown these devices sit in the rear

seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Child restraint registration and recalls

Child restraints could be recalled for safety rea-
sons. You must register your child restraint to be
reached in a recall. To stay informed about child
safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return
the registration card that comes with new child
restraints.

Child restraint recall information is readily availa-
ble in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall infor-
mation in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's
Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or go to
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/
recalls/register/childseat/index.cfm. In Canada,
visit Transport Canada's Child Safety website at
http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/childsafety/
menu.htm.

Securing a child seat

1. 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 the strap for the lower tether anchors

in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH attachment
points. If the child restraint is not equipped
with straps for the lower tether anchors, or if
the child restraint is used on the center seat-
ing position, follow the instructions for
attaching a child restraint using the auto-
matic locking seat belt.

4. Firmly tension all straps.

Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the child
seat.

WARNING

•

Always refer to the recommendations
made by the child restraint manufacturer.

•

Volvo recommends that the top tether
anchors be used when installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint.

•

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 ancho-
rages are not able to withstand excessive
forces on them in the event of collision if
full harness seat belts or adult seat belts

SAFETY

are installed to them. An adult who uses a
belt anchored in a child restraint anchor-
age runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision 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.
