Check before driving that:
- the seat cushion is raised to the correct position for the weight of the child
- the seat cushion is locked in 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
- the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned low over the pelvis to provide optimal protection.
Warning
Volvo recommends that repair or replacement of the integrated child seat is only performed by an authorized Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifications or additions to the child seat. If an integrated child seat has been subjected to a heavy load, e.g. in connection with a collision, then the seat cushion, seatbelt, and backrest, or possibly the whole seat, must be replaced. Even if the child seat appears to be undamaged, it may not afford the same level of protection. This also applies if the seat cushion was in lowered position during a collision or similar. The seat cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.
Warning
If the instructions for the integrated child seat are not followed then the child could sustain serious injury in the event of an accident.
