WARNING
•
A small child's head represents a con-
siderable part of its total weight and its
neck is still very weak. Volvo recom-
mends that children up to age 4 travel,
properly restrained, facing rearward. In
addition, Volvo recommends that chil-
dren should ride rearward facing, prop-
erly restrained, as long as possible.
•
Convertible child seats should be instal-
led in the rear seat only.
•
A rear-facing convertible seat should
not be positioned behind the driver's
seat unless there is adequate space for
safe installation.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible
seat according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch
plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct
click is audible.
4. Pull the shoulder section of the seat belt
out as far as possible to activate the
belt's automatic locking function.
NOTE
The locking retractor will automatically
release when the seat belt is unbuckled
and allowed to retract fully.
5. Press the convertible seat firmly in place,
let the seat belt retract and pull it taut. A
sound from the seat belt retractor's auto-
matic locking function will be audible at
this time and is normal. The seat belt
should now be locked in place.
