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.

A child who has outgrown the child safety seat should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt

fastened. Place the child on an approved cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the child's

hips (see

page 13).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 cushion (not available in Canada ) for children between 50 - 80

lbs (22.7 - 36 kg) and 38 -54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.

If necessary, an auxiliary seat for children is available for use in the luggage compartment of station

wagon models. This seat is designed for two children, each weighing between 50 - 88 lbs. (23 - 40 kg)

and up to 59 inches (150 cm) in height.

WARNING!

● When using the auxiliary seat for children, both sections of the rear seat backrest must be secured

in the upright position.

● Do not use a booster cushion or child seat in conjunction with the auxiliary seat.

Volvo Concern for Safety

Safety is the cornerstone of 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.
