The lap section of the seat belt can be adjusted when the lock button is in the left position (see
illustration B).
NOTE: Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary,
guide the belt back into the retractor slot. When not in use, the child restraint should be secured with the
seat belt to help prevent movementduring a sudden stop.
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.
Important!
Why Volvo believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car.
It's quite simple really. A front air bag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an
adult. Because of the size of the air bag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or shed is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an
innovator in safety for over fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your children in
the back seat, and buckle them up.
Volvo has some very specific recommendations:
●
Always wear your seat belt.
●
Air bags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which when used in conjunction with a three-point
seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of severe accidents. Please do not
disconnect the air bag system in your vehicle.
●
Volvo strongly recommends that ALL children sit in the rear seat of any vehicle and that they be
properly restrained.
●
A child should NEVER sit in the front passenger seat of any vehicle equipped with a front passenger
side airbag.
●
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140
cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.
Drive safely!
