· If your child restraint requires a top tether strap, consult your authorized Volvo retailer for top tether
anchorage and installation information.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt
fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child
on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see
page 2).
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada ), for children between the age
of 3 and approximately 10 years, weighing 15 - 36 kg (33 - 80 lbs) and 117 - 137 cm (46 - 54") in
height, can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also
recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt
properly fastened.
WARNING!
The rear seat of the Volvo C 70 is intended for two occupants only. Only two three-point seat belts
are provided. The center position should never be used to seat a passenger.

Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the anchor bolts are secure and that the belts are in good condition. Use water
and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: Attach the seat belt
and pull rapidly on the strap.
Volvo Concern for Safety
Safety is the cornerstone for Volvo. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the
production line. Threepoint seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energyabsorbing impact
zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government
regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety
features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your
suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern
with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.
