1999 S70 & V70
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in
the center position of the rear seat. When using the integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured
with the vehicle's three-point seatbelt. The booster cushion is approved for children weighing between
15 and 40 kg (33 and 88 lbs) and between 97 and 137 cm (38 and 54 in ) in height. It is not intended for
children under 3 years of age.
The child should be properly seated on the booster cushion (see illustrations 1 and 2 in left column). For
small children, the booster cushion backrest can be tilted back slightly by raising the center head
restraint above the upper edge of the booster cushion backrest (3) and tilting the backrest (4). For taller
children, it is essential that the head restraint be adjusted properly to help support the child's head (see
page 3).
The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach.
The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder (see
illustration). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions on this page will increase the risk of your child being
injured during a sudden stop or collision. In the event of a collision while the integrated booster
cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and center seat belt must be replaced. The booster
cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be
performed by an authorized Volvo retailer only. The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place
in the vehicle if possible. If not, please consult your Volvo retailer.
