ISOFIX fixture system for child seats*
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture sys-
tem are concealed behind the lower section
of the rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indi-
cated by symbols in the backrest upholstery
(see illustration above).
Press the seat cushion down to access the
mounting points.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions when connecting a child seat to ISOFIX
mounting points.
Upper mounting points for child seats
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for child seats. These mounting points
are located on the parcel shelf and are con-
cealed by plastic covers. Bend aside the
plastic covers to access each respective
mounting point.
For cars with folding head restraints on the
outside seats the head restraints should be
folded to facilitate installation.
For detailed information on how the child
seat should be tensioned in the upper
mounting points, see the seat manufacturer’s
instructions.
Integrated booster cushion*
Volvo’s integrated booster cushion for the
centre rear seat is specially designed to pro-
vide optimum safety for children. Combined
with the regular seatbelt, the booster cushion
is approved for children weighing between
15 and 36 kg. Check before driving that:
the seatbelt is in contact with the child’s
body and is not slack or twisted
the seatbelt is positioned correctly across
the shoulder
the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-
tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-
mal protection
the seatbelt does not lie across the child’s
throat or below the shoulder
the head restraint is adjusted to suit the
child’s head.
