2007 Volvo V70
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.

Integrated booster cushion
Integrated booster cushion (option)
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.
Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose
height is between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm). In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation
is 40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).
The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the
child's collarbone, not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushion does not result in proper
positioning of the shoulder strap, then the child should be placed in a properly secured child restraint
(see the information beginning on
page 31 ). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's
