Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid (2015 year). Instruction - part 3

Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 46)

02 Safety

Child seats - location

in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti-

vated (p. 36). If a child is sitting on the front

passenger seat then he/she could suffer seri-

ous injury if the airbag deploys.

The warning label for the passenger airbag is

fitted in one of the following two locations in

the car:

Alternative 1: Position of airbag label on passen-

ger side sun visor.

Alternative 2: Position of airbag label on passen-

ger side door pillar. The label becomes visible

when the passenger door is opened.

You may place:

•

a child seat/booster cushion on the front

passenger seat provided there is no acti-

vated airbag on the front passenger side.

•

one or more child seats/booster cushions

in the rear seat.

WARNING

Never use a rear-facing child seat on a

seat protected by an activated airbag. Fail-

ure to follow this advice can lead to death

or serious injury to the child.

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a

booster cushion in the front seat if the air-

bag is activated.
Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front

of the front passenger seat.
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever

sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag

is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above

can endanger life.

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel

braces or some other design that could

rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but-

ton must not be used, as they could cause

the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not allow the upper section of the child

seat to rest against the windscreen.

02 Safety

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Child seat - two-stage booster seat*

The integrated booster seats in the rear seat

allow children to sit comfortably and safely.

The booster cushions are specially designed

to provide optimum safety. In combination

with the seatbelt (p. 29) they are approved for

children who weigh between 15 and 36 kg

and who are at least 95 cm in height.

Correct position, the seatbelt should be posi-

tioned in on the shoulder.

Incorrect position, the head restraint must be

adjusted as high as the head and the seatbelt

must not be below the shoulder.

Check before driving that:

•

the integrated two-stage booster seat is

correctly set in accordance with the table

(p. 52) and in locked position

•

the seatbelt is in contact with the child's

body and is not slack or twisted

•

the seatbelt does not lie across the

child's throat or below the shoulder (see

preceding illustrations)

•

the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-

tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-

mal protection.

Adjusting the booster seat's two levels is per-

formed by raising (p. 52) and lowering

(p. 53).

WARNING

Volvo recommends that repair or replace-

ment is only carried out by an authorised

Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifi-

cations or additions to the booster cush-

ion. If an integrated booster cushion has

been subjected to a major load, such as in

conjunction with a collision, the entire

booster cushion must be replaced. Even if

the booster cushion appears to be undam-

aged, it may not afford the same level of

protection. The booster cushion must also

be replaced if it is heavily worn.

WARNING

If the instructions for the two-stage

booster seat are not followed then the

child could sustain serious injury in the

event of an accident.

02 Safety

Child seat - ISOFIX

ISOFIX is a fixture system for car child seats

(p. 46) that is based on an international stand-

ard.

Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system

are concealed behind the lower section of the

rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indi-

cated by symbols in the backrest upholstery

(see preceding illustration).
Press the seat cushion down to access the

mounting points.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation

instructions when connecting a child seat to

the ISOFIX mounting points.

ries.

Volvo recommends rear-facing child seats for this group.

Make sure you select the right size class

(p. 54) of child seat with ISOFIX (p. 54) fixture

system.

02 Safety

Child seats - upper mounting points

The car is equipped with upper mounting

points for certain front-facing child seats

(p. 46). These mounting points are located on

the rear of the seat.

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.

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.

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.
