3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower tether straps, or the restraint is used in the center seating position, follow instructions for securing a child restraint using the Automatic Locking Retractor seat belt (see page 33). 4. Firmly tension all straps. Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat. NOTE On models equipped with the optional cargo area cover, this cover should be removed before a child seat is attached to the child restraint anchors. See page 209. WARNING Never route a top tether strap over the top of the head restraint. The strap should be routed beneath the head restraint. Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur. Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap. 44 01 Safety Child restraint registration and recalls Registering a child restraint Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints. Child restraint recall information is readily available in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/childsafety/menu.htm. 45 01 Safety Integrated booster cushion Integrated two-stage booster cushion (option) 1 Volvo's optional integrated booster cushion is located in the center seating position. This booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the rear seat. This cushion should be stowed (folded up into the rear seat backrest) when not in use. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
