ISOFIX/LATCH lower child restraint anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX/LATCH-equipped
child seats are located in the rear, outboard
seats, hidden below the backrest cushions.
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the
anchor positions (see the illustration).
To access the anchors:
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down
the seat cushion and locate the anchors by
feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child
restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/
LATCH lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps
according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
NOTE
•
The rear seat's center position is not
equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH lower
anchors. When installing a child
restraint in this position, attach the
restraint's top tether strap (if it is so
equipped) to the top tether anchorage
point (see page 48) and secure the
restraint with the vehicle's center seat
belt (see page 39).
•
Always follow your child seat manufac-
turer's installation instructions, and use
both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and
top tethers whenever possible.
WARNING
Volvo's ISOFIX/LATCH anchors conform to
FMVSS/CMVSS standards. Always refer to
the child restraint system's manual for
weight and size ratings.
WARNING
The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child restraint
anchors are only intended for use with child
seats positioned in the outboard seating
positions. These anchors are not certified
for use with any child restraint that is posi-
tioned in the center seating position. When
securing a child restraint in the center seat-
ing position, use only the vehicle's center
seat belt.
