Fitting a child seat
Volvo has child safety products that are de-
signed for and tested by Volvo.
When using other products that are available
on the market, it is important to read the fit-
ting 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 for child seats. Contact a Volvo dealer
for further information 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.
