01 Safety Top tether anchors Top tether anchors 2. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage. 01 WARNING • Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint. It should always be routed under 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. • G031131 Top tether anchorage points Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.
