Integrated child seat*
The integrated child seats on the outer posi-
tions in the rear seat allow children to sit
comfortably and safely.
The child seat is specially designed to provide
children with good safety, together with the
car's seatbelt. The seat cushion can be raised
in two positions depending on the weight of
the child.
The child seat is approved for children who
weigh 1536 kg (3380 lbs) and are at least
95 cm (37 inches) tall.
Correct position, the seatbelt should be positioned in
on the shoulder.
Check before driving that:
•
the seat cushion is raised to the correct
position for the weight of the child
•
the seat cushion in locked in position
•
the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted
•
the seatbelt does not lie across the child's
throat or below the shoulder
•
the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-
tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-
mal protection.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace-
ment of the integrated child seat is only
performed by an authorised Volvo work-
shop. Do not make any modifications or
additions to the child seat. If an integrated
child seat has been subjected to a heavy
load, e.g. in connection with a collision,
then the seat cushion, seatbelt and back-
rest, or possibly the whole seat, must be
replaced. Even if the child seat appears to
be undamaged, it may not afford the same
level of protection. This also applies if the
seat cushion was in lowered position dur-
ing a collision or similar. The seat cushion
must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.
WARNING
If the instructions for the integrated child
seat are not followed then the child could
sustain serious injury in the event of an
accident.
