anchorage and installation information.
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 10 ).
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada ) for children between 22.7 -
36 kg (50 - 80 lbs) and 117- 137 cm (46 - 54") can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.
WARNING! Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's
seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt properly fastened.

Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the anchor bolts are secure and that the belts are in good condition. Use water
and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: Attach the seat belt
and pull rapidly on the strap.
Volvo Concern for Safety
Safety is the cornerstone for Volvo. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the
production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact
zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government
regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety
features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your
suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern
with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.

Never drink and driver.
If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving
abilities.
Take a driver-retaining course
Have your eyes checked regularly

Take into account the traffic, road, and water conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.
