Convertible seats

Suitable child restraints should always be used
when children (depending on their age/size) are
seated in the vehicle.

Securing a convertible seat with a seat
belt

Do not place the convertible seat in the front passeng-
er's seat

WARNING

Always use a convertible seat that is suitable
for the child's age and size. See the converti-
ble seat manufacturer's recommendations.

1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of

the vehicle.

WARNING

•

A small child's head represents a consider-
able part of its total weight and its neck is
still very weak. Volvo recommends that
children up to age 4 travel, properly
restrained, facing rearward. In addition,
Volvo recommends that children should
ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as
long as possible.

•

Convertible child seats should be installed
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.

Fasten the seat belt

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 auto-
matic locking function.

SAFETY

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 automatic lock-
ing function will be audible at this time and is
normal. The seat belt should now be locked
in place.

Pull out the shoulder section of the seat belt

6. Push and pull the convertible seat along the

seat belt path to ensure that it is held
securely in place by the seat belt.

WARNING

It should not be possible to move the child

WARNING

A child seat should never be used in the front
passenger seat of any vehicle with a front
passenger airbag – not even if the "Passen-
ger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mir-
ror is illuminated. If the severity of an accident
were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could
lead to serious injury or death to a child
seated in this position.

Integrated booster cushion

Volvo's optional integrated booster cushion is
located in the rear seat's center position and is
designed to raise the child higher so that the
shoulder strap crosses over the child's collar-
bone, not over the neck.

Integrated booster cushion

This booster cushion has been specially
designed to help safeguard children in the rear
seat. It should be stowed (folded down into the
seat cushion) when not in use. When using an
integrated booster cushion, the child must be
secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.

If using a booster cushion does not result in
proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the
child should be placed in a properly secured child
restraint. The shoulder belt must never be placed
behind the child's back or under the arm.

Use only with children who weigh between 33
and 80 pounds (15 – 36 kg) and whose height is
between 38 and 54 inch (97 – 137 cm).

In Canada: 18 kg (40 lbs) is the minimum
weight requirement for a child using booster
seats according to the Canadian regulation
CMVSS 213.4

Correct seating position: the shoulder belt is across the
collarbone

Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built-in booster cushion.

Trip computer

The trip computer registers and calculates infor-
mation such as distance driven, fuel consump-
tion and average speed. This information is dis-
played in the instrument panel.

To help promote fuel efficient driving, the trip
computer provides readings for current and aver-
age fuel consumption.

The trip computer includes the following
gauges:

•

Trip odometers

•

Odometer

•

Current fuel consumption

•

Distance to empty

•

Tourist (alternative speedometer)

Trip odometer

There are two trip odometers: TM and TA. During
a drive, the trip odometer registers:

•

Mileage

•

Driving time

•

Average speed

•

Average fuel consumption

The values displayed are those since the last
time the trip odometer was reset.

Odometer

The odometer registers the vehicle's total mile-
age and cannot be reset.

Current fuel consumption

This gauge shows the current fuel consumption.
This reading is updated once a second.

Distance to empty

This function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank.

The calculation is based on average fuel con-
sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of
driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank.

When the gauge displays "----", there is very little
useable fuel remaining in the tank; refuel as soon
as possible.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

102

The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv-
ing style changes. An economical driving style will
generally increase this distance.

Distance to discharged battery

This gauge shows the approximate distance that
can be driven on the charge remaining in the
hybrid battery. When the gauge displays "----"
there is no guaranteed driving charge remaining
in the battery.

This calculation is based on the average electrical
current consumption in a normally loaded vehicle
during normal driving, and whether the A/C is on
or off.

An economical driving style will generally
increase this distance.

Distance using the electric motor

To get the optimal driving distance using the
electric motor, it is essential to conserve current.
Functions that use a great deal of current (e.g.,
audio system, electrical heating in the steering
wheel/door mirrors/rear window/seats, very cold
air from the climate system, etc.) reduce the pos-
sible driving distance.
