2005 Volvo S80
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 airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or she 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 help. Please
remember to put 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 with a three-point seat belt can
help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you 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 passenger-side
front 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!

Child safety
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember
that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.
Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats
(see
page 14
).
