Child safety
Important advice!
When using other makes of child safety equip-
ment, it is important to read the installation
instructions which come with these products
and follow them closely. Here are a few
particularly important points to bear in mind:
*Children's safety restraints with steel frames,
or any other design which may rest against
the seat belt latch, should not be used as
they may unintentionally cause the seat belt
latch to open. See left. Volvo has its own
child safety restraints which are designed
and tested for use in your Volvo 850.
•
The child seat should always be positioned
in the way stipulated by the manufacturer.
•
Do not attach the child seat anchorage
straps to the seat's fore-and-aft adjustment
bar, springs or other rods and members
under the seat if these have sharp edges.
*Support the child seat backrest against the
instrument panel.
•
Do not support the upper section of the child
seat against the windscreen.
•
Never put a child safety seat in the front
passenger seat if the car has an airbag (SRS)
on the passenger side.
NB! If you experience any difficulty in install-
ing child safety equipment, please contact the
manufacturer of this equipment for further
instructions.
Integrated booster cushion
(extra equipment)
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion in
the middle of the rear seat is specially desig-
ned to offer an excellent degree of safety. In
combination with the standard-fit, three-point
seat belt, it is approved for children weighing
between 33 lb, 15 kg and 80 lb, 36 kg.
When a child is sitting in this seat, the lap
section of the three-point belt must fit snugly
across the child's pelvis, not across the sto-
mach. Remember also to adjust the height of
the head restraint to suit the position of the
child's head.
First fold it up to form an armrest, then fold
back into the backrest.

Attachment of child booster cushion
•
Check that the belt is positioned correctly
across the shoulder and that the lap belt is
positioned low so as to offer the best pro-
tection. The belt may under no condition
touch the child's neck, nor may it be posi-
tioned below the child's shoulder. If a back-
rest is used, the diagonal belt should run
freely through the backrest corners.
