01 Safety

Integrated booster cushion

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Integrated two-stage booster
cushion*

Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions
are located in the outboard seating positions.
These booster cushions have been specially
designed to help safeguard children in the rear
seat. They 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.

Use these booster cushions only with
children whose weight is between:

•

Stage 1: 48 – 80 lbs (22 – 36 kg)

•

Stage 2: 33 – 55 lbs (15 – 25 kg)

and whose height is between:

•

Stage 1: 45 – 55 in. (115 – 140 cm)

•

Stage 2: 37 – 47 in. (95 – 120 cm)

In Canada, Transport Canada's
weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs
(18 – 36 kg).

The booster cushions are designed to raise the
child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses
over the child's collarbone, not over the child's
neck. 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 (see page 36). The
shoulder belt must never be placed behind the
child's back or under the arm.

G017875

Correct seating position: child's head is below the
head restraint and the shoulder belt is across the
collarbone

G017719

Incorrect seating position: the child's head is
above the head restraint and the shoulder belt is
not across the collarbone

Before driving, check that:

•

The integrated two-stage booster cushion
is set in the correct position for according
to the child's height and weight (see the
table below) and is locked in position.

Stage 1

•

That the seat belt is properly positioned
and is taut.

•

The shoulder section of the seat belt is
across the child's collarbone, not over the
neck.

•

The lap section of the seat belt is across
the child's hips and not the abdomen.

01 Safety

Integrated booster cushion

Stowing the two-stage integrated
booster cushion

The booster cushion can be folded down com-
pletely (stowed) from either the stage 1 or stage
2 positions.

NOTE

The booster cushion cannot be moved from
the stage 2 (upper) position to the stage 1
(lower) position. It must first be folded down
completely to the stowed position, and then
adjusted to stage 1.

Pull the handle forward to release the
booster cushion.

Press down on the center of the booster
cushion to return it to the stowed position.

NOTE

The booster cushion must be in the stowed
position before the rear seat backrests are
folded down.

CAUTION

Be sure there are no loose objects under the
booster cushion before it is stowed.

WARNING

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can
occur

Follow all instructions on the
booster cushion and in the vehi-
cle's owner's manual.

MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER
CUSHION IS SECURELY
LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS
SEATED.

•

Use this booster cushion only with chil-
dren whose height and weight are
within the permitted limits shown in the
table see page 46.

•

In the event of a collision while the inte-
grated booster cushion was occupied,
the entire booster cushion and seat belt
must be replaced. The booster cushion
should also be replaced if it is badly
worn or damaged in any way. This work
should be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician only.

02 Locks and alarm

Remote key and key blade

Introduction

Two remote keys or optional Personal Car
Communicators (PCC) are provided with your
vehicle. They enable you to unlock the doors
and tailgate, and also function as ignition keys
to start the vehicle or operate electrical com-
ponents. The remote keys contain detachable
metal key blades for manually locking or
unlocking the driver's door and the glove com-
partment. Up to six remotes can be pro-
grammed for use on the same vehicle.

The PCCs have enhanced functionality com-
pared with the standard remote key.

NOTE

In the remainder of this chapter, all referen-
ces to the remote key also pertain to the
PCC unless otherwise stated.

WARNING

Never leave the remote key in the ignition if
children are to remain in the vehicle.

Detachable key blade

Each remote key or PCC contains a detachable
metal key blade for mechanically locking or
unlocking the driver's door and the glove com-
partment, and to enable the private locking
function. See page 57 for more information
on the key blade and page 59 for information

on the private locking function. The key blades
have a unique code, which is used if new ones
need to be produced. This code is available at
an authorized Volvo retailer.

Loss of a remote key

If a remote key is lost, the other one must be
taken with the vehicle to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician. As an anti-theft
measure, the code of the lost remote must be
erased from the system.

The number of registered keys for the vehicle
can be found in the vehicle's menu under

02 Locks and alarm

Remote key and key blade

NOTE

If none of the indicator lights flash when the
information button has been pressed sev-
eral times from different places in relation to
the vehicle, contact an authorized Volvo
service technician.

The indicator lights

provide information

according to the illustration:

G030262

Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly
locked.

Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not
locked.

Alternatively flashing red lights (Heartbeat
sensor): if the two heartbeat sensor lights
flash, this indicates that someone may be

inside the vehicle. These lights are only
activated if the alarm has been triggered.

Steady red light: the alarm has been trig-
gered.

Range

The PCC's lock and unlock functions have a
range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the
vehicle.

NOTE

•

The approach lighting, panic alarm, and
the functions controlled by the informa-
tion button have a range of approxi-
mately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle.
