2006 VOLVO V70
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt
fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat
belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 21). Legislation in your state or province
may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the
child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion
(not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15
- 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.
WARNING!
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We
also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
pg. 18 Child safety
Auxiliary seat (option)
If all the seats are occupied, a rear-facing auxiliary seat in the cargo area can be used. This seat is
designed for two children, each weighing between 50 - 88 lbs. (23 - 40 kg) with a total seat capacity of
176 lbs. (80 kg) and up to 55 inches (140 cm) in height.
Raising
Remove the cargo area cover, if installed, from the car. Raise the backrest section forward until it locks
in place.
Flip the seat cushion over.
