Child Seats

Suitable child restraints should always be used when children (depending on their age/size) are seated in the vehicle.

Child Seat Securing with the Seat Belt

Do not place a child seat in the front passenger seat.

1. 1
   Place the child seat on the rear seat of the vehicle.
2. 2
   Attach the seat belt to the infant seat according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.

   

   Check the seat belt routing through the child seat.

3. 3

   

   Fasten the seat belt.

   Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

   

   Pull out the shoulder portion of the seat belt.

4. 4
   Pull the shoulder section of the seat belt out as far as possible to activate the belt's automatic locking function.
5. 5
   Press the infant seat firmly in place, let the seat belt retract and pull it taut. A sound from the seat belt retractor's automatic locking function will be audible at this time and is normal. The seat belt should now be locked in place.

   

   Make sure the infant is properly secured.

6. 6
   Press and pull the infant seat along the direction of the seat belt to check that it is properly held in place by the seat belt.

   

   When installing infant seats in the rear seat, Volvo recommends maintaining a distance of at least 50 mm (2 inches) from the front-most part of the infant seat to the rearmost part of the seat in front.

The infant seat can be removed by unbuckling the seat belt and letting it retract completely.
