Child safety
Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking
Retractor
To make child seat installation easier, each seat
belt (except for the drivers belt) is equipped
with a locking mechanism to help keep the
seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
•
Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturers
instructions.
•
Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
•
Insert the seat belt latch plate into the
buckle (lock) in the usual way.
•
Release the seat belt and pull it taut around
the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will
be audible at this time and is normal.
The belt will now be locked in place.
This function is automatically disabled
when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt
is fully retracted.
WARNING!
Do not use child safety seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front passengers
seat. We also recommend that children who
have outgrown these devices sit in the rear
seat with the seat belt properly fastened.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should
sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple
really. A front airbag 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
seventy-five 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 recom-
mendations:
•
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Airbags 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
airbag system in your vehicle.
•
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone
in the vehicle be properly restrained.
•
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7
inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat
of any vehicle with a front passenger side
airbag.
Drive safely!
