Fitting a child seat
Volvo has child safety products that are de-
signed for and tested by Volvo.
When using other child safety products avail-
able on the market it is important to read the
installation instructions included with the
product.
Do not attach the straps for the child seat
to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs,
rails or beams under the seat. Sharp
edges can damage the straps.
Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to
cars without a passenger airbag or where
the airbag is deactivated.
ISOFIX fixture system for child seats
(option)
The outer rear seats have ISOFIX attachment
points. Contact a Volvo dealer for further in-
formation on child safety equipment.
WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel
braces or some other design that could rest
on the seatbelt buckle’s opening button
must not be used, as they could cause the
seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not allow the upper section of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
WARNING
Never place the child seat in the front seat if
the car is equipped with an activated
1
front
passenger airbag. If problems arise when
fitting child safety products, contact the
manufacturer for clearer instructions.
