seat.

i-Size/ISOFIX

2

 is a fixture system for car child

seats that is based on an international stand-
ard.

Always follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when connecting a child seat to
the i-Size/ISOFIX mounting points.

The location of the mounting points

Mounting point locations are indicated by symbols

Child seat positioning

It is important to position the child seat in the
right place in the car. The choice of location
depends, amongst other things, on the type
of child seat and whether the passenger air-
bag is activated.

Rear-facing child seat and airbag are not compatible.

Always fit rear-facing child seats in the rear
seat if the passenger airbag is activated. If a
child is sitting on the front passenger seat
then he/she could suffer serious injury if the
airbag deploys.

If the passenger airbag is deactivated then
rear-facing child seats can be fitted on the
front passenger seat.

front passenger seat if the airbag is acti-

vated.

Child seat mounting

It is important to remember a number of
things when a child seat is mounted and
used, which depend on where the child seat
is positioned.

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel

braces or some other design that could

rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but-

ton must not be used, as they could cause

the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not secure the straps for the child seat

into the seat's horizontal adjustment bar or

in springs, rails or beams under the seat.

Sharp edges may damage the straps.
Do not allow the upper section of the child

seat to rest against the windscreen.

NOTE

When using child safety equipment, it is
important to read the installation instruc-
tions included.

In the event of questions when fitting child
safety equipment, contact the manufac-
turer for clearer instructions.

||

SAFETY

66

NOTE

Never leave a child seat loose in the car.
Always secure it according to the instruc-
tions for the child seat, even when it is not
in use.

NOTE

Long-term installation and use of child
seats may cause wear and tear on the car's
fittings. Volvo recommends using the kick
guard accessory to protect the car's fit-
tings.

Installation in the front seat

•

When fitting rear-facing child seats, check
that the passenger airbag is deactivated.

•

When fitting front-facing child seats,
check that the passenger airbag is acti-
vated.

•

Only use child seats that are recom-
mended by Volvo, are universally approved
or are semi-universal, and where the car is
included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.

•

ISOFIX child seats can only be fitted when
the car is equipped with the ISOFIX con-
sole

3

 accessory.

•

If the child seat is equipped with lower
straps, Volvo recommends that the lower
mounting points are used with these

3

.

•

If the child seat is equipped with support
legs, always fit the support leg/support
legs directly to the floor. Never fit a sup-
port leg to a footrest or other object.

•

The ISOFIX guide can be used in order to
facilitate child seat installation.

Installation in the rear seat

•

Only use child seats that are recom-
mended by Volvo, are universally approved
or are semi-universal, and where the car is
included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.

•

A child seat with support legs must not be
fitted in the centre seat.

•

The outer seats are equipped with the
ISOFIX fixture system and are approved
for i-Size

4

.

•

The outer seats are equipped with upper
mounting points. Volvo recommends that
child seat's upper straps should be pulled
through the hole in the head restraint
before being tensioned at the mounting
point. If this is not possible, follow the rec-
ommendations from the child seat manu-
facturer.

•

If the child seat is equipped with lower
straps, never adjust the position of the
seat in front after the straps have been fit-
ted in the lower mounting points. Always
remember to remove the lower straps
when the child seat is not installed.

•

If the child seat is equipped with support
legs, always fit the support leg/support
legs directly to the floor. Never fit a sup-
port leg to a footrest or other object.

With the installation of an infant seat in the rear seat,

Volvo recommends a distance of at least 50 mm

(2 inches) from the front part of the infant seat to the

rearmost part of the seat in front.

Integrated child seat

*

The integrated child seats on the outer posi-
tions in the rear seat allow children to sit
comfortably and safely.

The child seat is specially designed to provide
children with good safety, together with the
car's seatbelt. The seat cushion can be raised
in two positions depending on the weight of
the child.

The child seat is approved for children who
weigh 15-36 kg (33-80 lbs) and are at least
95 cm (37 inches) tall.

Correct position, the seatbelt should be positioned in

on the shoulder.

Check before driving that:

•

the seat cushion is raised to the correct
position for the weight of the child

•

the seat cushion in locked in position

•

the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted

•

the seatbelt does not lie across the child's
throat or below the shoulder

•

the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-
tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-
mal protection.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that repair or replace-

ment of the integrated child seat is only

performed by an authorised Volvo work-

shop. Do not make any modifications or

additions to the child seat. If an integrated

child seat has been subjected to a heavy

load, e.g. in connection with a collision,

then the seat cushion, seatbelt and back-

rest, or possibly the whole seat, must be

replaced. Even if the child seat appears to

be undamaged, it may not afford the same

level of protection. This also applies if the

seat cushion was in lowered position dur-

ing a collision or similar. The seat cushion

must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.

WARNING

If the instructions for the integrated child

seat are not followed then the child could

sustain serious injury in the event of an

accident.
