SAFeTY Child safety
Two-stage integrated booster cushions (15–36 kg)
These integrated booster cushions help ensure that children sit comfortably and safely. They position
children at the correct height for the safety belt and adjust to two heights to accommodate children of
different sizes, so smaller children can be seated higher to enjoy a more comfortable ride. And as the
children grow, seat height can be adjusted accordingly. This optimises safety belt geometry, and will
– together with the built-in progressive safety belt load limiter – help reduce the strain on the child’s
neck and chest in an impact. In a side impact, the booster cushions will interact with the Inflatable
Curtain (IC) to help protect children. The booster cushions conveniently fold up from the outboard rear
seats and are easily folded into the rear seat cushion when they’re not needed.
power child safety lock
The power child lock enables you to conveniently lock the rear doors and rear power windows from the
driver’s seat and prevent them from being opened from the inside.
u Convertible child seat (9–25 kg)
From the age of 9 months to about 6 years of age a child
can continue to be seated backwards in this new child seat.
Advanced design helps provide world-class protection and
flexible seating for many years. The seat is fitted using the car’s
safety belt and is easily adjusted to help optimise comfort and
safety. An integrated support leg helps facilitate safe backward
installation. We recommend that children be seated backwards
as long as possible. But when a child grows bigger (15–25 kg)
and can not comfortably be seated facing to the rear, this seat
can also be used as a forward-facing booster cushion that puts
a child at the correct position for the car’s safety belt.
u infant seat (up to 13 kg)
Infants, from newborns up to about 1 year of age, travel safely
backwards in this comfortable seat. It’s installed using the
car’s safety belt. And for extra convenient installation using
the car’s ISOFIX attachments, an ISOFIX base can be added.
Side wings help protect in a side impact, and the headrest and
five-point harness are easily adjusted. The headrest is padded
for a comfortable sleep and there’s a canopy to block the sun.
What’s more, the infant seat is easy to carry and can be used
as a babysitter.
Volvo’s child safety programme
To further enhance protection for children, we offer a child safety programme that is among the most
comprehensive in the car world. Because infants have large heads and weak necks*, we know that a child
up to the age of 3–4 travels most safely facing the rear. Volvo’s rear-facing child seats help provide
maximum protection in a wide range of collisions. Children who have outgrown the child seat travel most
safely seated on a booster seat, secured with the car’s safety belt.
*In a frontal collision at 50 km/h, the head of a six-month infant can be exposed to forces corresponding to a load of 100 kg!
please note: If the front passenger seat airbag is switched on, children under 140 cm in height should never be seated in
the front seat – not in conjunction with a child seat, a booster cushion or under any other circumstances.
u Booster seat (15–36 kg)
Volvo’s new booster seat helps position a child at the correct height for the safety belt and is designed
to optimise side impact protection. The headrest and width adjust easily to enhance comfort, and the
backrest can be reclined when the child wants to rest.

power retractable door mirrors with ground lighting
At the touch of a button, these door mirrors can be folded flat against the car
where they are less likely to get damaged after you’ve parked. They also fold or
unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. The integrated ground
lighting is activated with the remote control or with the PCC. Beyond enhancing
security to and from your car at night, this is also convenient when getting in and out.
Volvo on Call
Activating automatically if any of your car’s airbags are deployed – or at the touch of a button – Volvo On Call is
Volvo’s roadside assistance and emergency service. Not only does it put you in direct contact with a Volvo On Call
operator, a built-in GPS system allows them to pinpoint your location and get help to you as soon as possible.
The system can also alert you to an attempted break-in, and if the car is stolen it can be traced via satellite.
Approach and home Safe lighting
Activated with the remote control or Personal Car Communicator, Approach Lighting provides a warm reception
on a dark night. This consists of interior and side lights – ground lighting too, if you choose it. Home Safe Lighting
is activated with the headlight stalk as you leave the car and it provides a similar courtesy when exiting your car.
This feature includes a dipped beam from the headlight to accompany you to your door.
lockable floor
To further foil smash and grab burglaries, the closed tailgate – just by the function of its design – overlaps and
seals the compartment hidden under the cargo floor. To keep this private storage area inaccessible to other users
of the car, e.g., valet parking, you can include the tailgate when setting your private locking preferences.

360° laminated windows
Laminated glass in all windows turn an attempted smash-and-grab into a time consuming ordeal. They also
enhance sound comfort in the cabin and contribute to UV protection. Additionally, this option also includes
water-repellent glass in the front side windows for improved visibility in wet weather.
personal Car Communicator (pCC)
PCC is an advanced remote control that combines keyless drive with two-way communication
with your Volvo. Keep the PCC with you and the car unlocks automatically as you pull the door
handle. Start the engine by pressing a button on the dash, lock the car by pressing a button in
the door handle. Later in the day, if you’re wondering whether you’ve locked the car, PCC can
tell; no matter where you are. On your return to the car – within a radius of 60 to 100 metres
– pressing the PCC information button will give you a current report on its lock and alarm status.
