Child seats - upper mounting points
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for certain front-facing child seats (p.
44). These mounting points are located on the
rear of the seat.
Upper mounting points
The upper mounting points are primarily
intended for use with front-facing child seats.
Volvo recommends that small children should
sit in rear-facing child seats to as late an age
as possible.
NOTE
Fold the head restraints in order to facili-
tate fitting this type of child seat in cars
with folding head restraints on the outer
seats.
NOTE
In cars with a cargo cover over the lug-
gage compartment, this must be removed
before child seats can be attached to the
securing points.
For detailed information on how the child seat
should be tensioned in the upper mounting
points, see the seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
WARNING
The child seat's straps must always be
drawn through the hole in the head
restraint leg before they are tensioned at
the attachment point.
