Child seat - two-stage booster seat*
The integrated booster seats in the rear seat
allow children to sit comfortably and safely.
The booster cushions are specially designed
to provide optimum safety. In combination
with the seatbelt (p. 26) they are approved for
children who weigh between 15 and 36 kg
and who are at least 95 cm in height.
Correct position, the seatbelt should be posi-
tioned in on the shoulder.
Incorrect position, the head restraint must be
adjusted as high as the head and the seatbelt
must not be below the shoulder.
Check before driving that:
•
the integrated two-stage booster seat is
correctly set in accordance with the table
(p. 51) and in locked 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 (see
preceding illustrations)
•
the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-
tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-
mal protection.
Adjusting the booster seat's two levels is per-
formed by raising (p. 51) and lowering
(p. 52).
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace-
ment is only carried out by an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifi-
cations or additions to the booster cush-
ion. If an integrated booster cushion has
been subjected to a major load, such as in
conjunction with a collision, the entire
booster cushion must be replaced. Even if
the booster cushion appears to be undam-
aged, it may not afford the same level of
protection. The booster cushion must also
be replaced if it is heavily worn.
WARNING
If the instructions for the two-stage
booster seat are not followed then the
child could sustain serious injury in the
event of an accident.
