Child Restraint Anchorages
Volvo cars can be fitted with Child Restraint Top Tether Anchorages in the rear seat. There are three pre-
drilled anchorage points under the rear window shelf. These anchorages are not visible from the
passenger compartment. In cars designated for Canada, one top tether anchorage set will be in the glove
box.
The top tether anchorage set includes the top tether anchorage plate, a 5/16" UNC bolt and a plastic trim
cover. If another set is needed, consult your Volvo dealer.
Installing the top tether
The pre-drilled holes for the child restraint anchorages are underneath the rear window shelf and can be
accessed from the trunk or by lowering the rear seat backrests. Refer to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for securing the seat.
An additional bolt may be required. This may be obtained from your authorized Volvo dealer.
WARNING! 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 anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full
harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a Child
Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
