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 con-

venient 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, chil-

dren could be endangered in a crash if the child

restraints are not properly secured in the vehi-

cle. Failure to follow the installation instructions

for your child restraint can result in your child

striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.

Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable

substitute for a child restraint system. In an

accident, a child held in a person's arms can

be crushed between the vehicle's interior and

an unrestrained person. The child could also be

injured by striking the interior, or by being ejec-

ted from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver

or impact. The same can also happen if the

infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat.

Other occupants should also be properly

restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring

or increasing the injury of a child.

All states and provinces have legislation gov-

erning how and where children should be car-

ried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations

existing in your state or province. Recent acci-

dent statistics have shown that children are

safer in rear seating positions than front seating

positions when properly restrained. A child

restraint system can help protect a child in a

vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting

a child restraint system:

•

It should have a label certifying that it

meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) – or in Can-

ada, CMVSS 213.

•

Make sure the child restraint system is

approved for the child's height, weight and

development – the label required by the

standard or regulation, or instructions for

infant restraints, typically provide this infor-

mation.

•

In using any child restraint system, we urge

you to carefully look over the instructions

that are provided with the restraint. Be sure

you understand them and can use the

device properly and safely in this vehicle.

A misused child restraint system can result

in increased injuries for both the infant or

child and other occupants in the vehicle.

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 page 34. 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 cush-

ion (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.
