Wagons only:
If the optional auxiliary seat for children is in use, fold this seat down before folding down the rear seat backrest.
Remember that a 44 lbs object weighs the equivalent of 2,200 lbs in a head-on collision at 30 mph!
Remember the following when loading the car:
• Load the cargo against the backrest
• Load heavy objects as low down as possible
• Load wide cargo on either side of the rear seat split.
• Secure the cargo with cargo straps through the eyelets in the cargo straps
• If nobody is sitting in the rear seat reinforce the backrest by fastening the rear seat belts
• Never load cargo above the backrest without a cargo net
Folding front seat (certain models)
The passenger seat backrest can be folded down to the horizontal position for carrying long loads. To fold down the backrest:
• Move the seat as far rearward as possible.
• Adjust the backrest tilt to the most upright position
• Lift the catches on the lower rear side of the backrest
• Without releasing the catches, push the backrest forward
• Move the seat as far forward as possible.
Unless the station wagon is equipped with Volvo's auxiliary seat for children (option), passengers should not ride in the rear cargo area.
