Get Safety -> Child safety Guide for Volvo V60 SUV First Generation (2010-2017)

01 Safety

Child safety

Children should sit comfortably and

safely

Volvo recommends that children travel in rear-

facing child seats until as late an age as pos-

sible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and then

front-facing booster cushions/child seats until

up to 10 years of age.

The position of a child in the car and the choice

of equipment are dictated by the child's weight

and size, for more information, see page 32.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of

children in cars vary from country to coun-

try. Check what does apply.

Children of all ages and sizes must always sit

correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child

to sit on the knee of a passenger.

Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats,

booster cushions & attachment devices) which

is designed for your particular car. Using Vol-

vo's child safety equipment provides you with

optimum conditions for your child to travel

safely in the car. Furthermore, the child safety

equipment fits and is easy to use.

NOTE

In the event of questions when fitting child

safety products, contact the manufacturer

for clearer instructions.

Child seats

G020739

Child seats and airbags are not compatible.

NOTE

When using child safety products it is

important to read the installation instruc-

tions included.

WARNING

Do not secure the straps of the child seat to

the seat's horizontal adjustment bar,

springs or the rails and beams under the

seat. Sharp edges may damage the straps.

Look in the installation instructions for the child

seat for the correct fitting.

Location of child seats

You may place:

•

a child seat/booster cushion on the pas-

senger seat, provided the passenger air-

bag is not activated

•

one or more child seats/booster cushions

in the rear seat.

Always fit child seats/booster cushions in the

rear seat if the passenger airbag is activated. If

a child is sitting on the front passenger seat

then he/she could suffer serious injury if the

airbag deploys.

For information on activated/deactivated airbag, see page 22.

01 Safety

Child safety

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a

booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag

(SRS) is activated.

No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit

in the front passenger seat if the airbag

(SRS) 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 button

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.

Label Airbag

The label becomes visible when the passenger

door is opened; see the illustration on page 22.

01 Safety

Child safety

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Integrated two-stage booster

cushions*

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.

The booster cushions are specially designed to

provide optimum safety. In combination with

the seatbelt they are approved for children who

weigh between 15 and 36 kg and who are at

least 95 cm in height.

Check before driving that:

•

the integrated 2-stage booster cushion is

correctly set (see table page 36) 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 preced-

ing illustrations)

•

the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned

low over the pelvis to provide optimal pro-

tection.

For instructions on adjusting the booster cush-

ion's two levels, see pages 36–37.

Raising the two-stage booster cushion

The integrated booster cushion can be folded

up into two stages. How many stages the cush-

ion should be folded up depends on the child's

weight.

Stage 1 Stage 2

Weight 22-36 kg 15-25 kg

Stage 1

Pull the handle forward and up in order to

release the booster cushion.

Press the booster cushion backwards to

lock.

01 Safety

Child safety

Stage 2

Start from the lower stage. Press the but-

ton.

Lift the booster cushion up at the front edge

and press it back against the backrest to lock.

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 cushion.

If an integrated booster cushion has been

subjected to a major load, such as in con-

junction with a collision, the entire booster

cushion must be replaced. Even if the

booster cushion appears to be undamaged,

it may not afford the same level of protec-

tion. The booster cushion must also be

replaced if it is heavily worn.

NOTE

It is not possible to adjust the booster cush-

ion from stage 2 to stage 1. It must first be

reset by being fully folded into the seat

cushion. Refer to the heading below, Low-

ering the two-stage booster cushion.

Lowering the two-stage booster cushion

Lowering can take place from both the upper

and lower stage to fully lowered position in the

cushion. However, it is not possible to adjust

the booster cushion from the upper stage to

the lower stage.

Pull the handle forwards to release the

cushion.

01 Safety

Child safety

Press down with your hand in the centre of

the cushion in order to lock it.

WARNING

If the instructions regarding the two-stage

booster cushion are not followed then this

could cause serious injury to a child in the

event of an accident.

IMPORTANT

Check that there are no loose objects (e.g.

toys) left behind in the space under the

cushion before lowering.

NOTE

The booster cushion must be lowered first

when lowering the backrest.

Child safety locks, rear doors

The controls for operating the rear door power

windows and the rear door opening handles

can be blocked from opening from the inside.

For more information, see page 62.

ISOFIX fixture system for child seats

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 indicated

by symbols in the backrest upholstery (see pre-

ceding 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.

Size classes

Child seats are in different sizes – cars are in

different sizes. This means that not all child

seats are suitable for all seats in all car models.

Consequently, there is a size classification for

child seats using the ISOFIX fixture system in

order to assist users in choosing the correct

child seat (see the following table).

Size

class

Description

A Full size, front-facing child

seat

B Reduced size (alt. 1), front-

facing child seat

B1 Reduced size (alt.2), front-

facing child seat

D Reduced size, rear-facing

E Rear-facing infant seat

F Transverse infant seat, left-

01 Safety

Child safety

WARNING

Never place a child in the passenger seat if

the car is equipped with an activated airbag.

NOTE

If an ISOFIX child seat has no size classifi-

cation then the car model must be included

on the child seat's vehicle list.

NOTE

Volvo recommends that you contact an

authorised Volvo dealer for recommenda-

tions about which ISOFIX child seats Volvo

recommends.

01 Safety

Child safety

Upper mounting points for child seats

The car is equipped with upper mounting

points for certain front-facing child seats.

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.

NOTE

Fold the head restraints in order to facilitate

fitting this type of child seat in cars with

folding head restraints on the outer seats.

NOTE

For cars equipped with a cargo area cover

over the cargo area, this must be removed

before a child seat can be fitted in the

mounting 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 attach-

ment point.
