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.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try. Check what does apply.

WARNING

Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front

of the front passenger seat.
Never use a rear-facing child seat on the

front passenger seat if the airbag is acti-

vated.
Front-facing passengers (children and

adults) must never sit on the front passen-

ger seat if the passenger airbag is deacti-

vated.
Failure to follow the advice given above

can endanger life or lead to serious per-

sonal injury.

Child seat mounting

It is important to remember a number of
things when a child restraint system is moun-
ted and used, which depend on where the
child restraint system 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.

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.

The accessory range varies depending on market.

SAFETY

65

•

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 tum) from the front part of the infant seat to the

rearmost part of the seat in front.
