2001 Volvo S80
label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this
information.
· In using any child restraint system, we urge you to look carefully over the instructions that are
provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and
safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the
infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.
· If your child restraint requires a top tether strap, consult your authorized Volvo retailer for top tether
anchorage and installation information.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt
fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat
belt is properly
located on the hips (see
page 2).
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada ) for children between the age
of 3 and approximately 10 years, weighing 33 - 80 lbs (15 - 36 kg) and 46 - 54" (117 - 137 cm) in
height, can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also
recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
WARNING!
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles.
WARNING!
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people
to these high tempera-tures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
