Child safety
WARNING!
● Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS
system.
● If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward
against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the
action of the WHIPS system.
● If your vehicle has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected
by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain
components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
● Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
● Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of
the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward
so that they do not touch the folded rear seat.
Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember
that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to
install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap
portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the
event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if
the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions
