pg. 3:10 Child safety
Integrated booster cushion (certain models)
Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the center position of the rear
seat. When using the integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt. The booster
cushion is approved for children weighing between 22.7 and 36 kg (50 and 80 lbs) and between 117 and 137 cm (46 and 54 in ) in
height. It is not intended for children under 3 years of age.
With the child properly seated on the booster cushion (see illustration), adjust the head restraint to support the child's head (
see page
3:3). The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach.
The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder (see illustration). The shoulder
belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions on this page will increase the risk of your child being injured during a sudden stop
or collision.
In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and center 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 an authorized Volvo retailer only. The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place if the vehicle if possible. If
not, please consult your Volvo retailer.
