ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors

Using the ISOFIX/LATCH lower child seat anchors

Symbols on the covers mark the ISOFIX/LATCH anchor positions, as shown in the illustration. The anchors are located behind covers between the backrest and the seat cushion. Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.

To access the anchors

Put the child restraint in position.

Open the covers to access the anchors.

Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors.

Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instructions.

 Warning

Volvo's ISOFIX/LATCH anchors conform to FMVSS/CMVSS standards. Always refer to the child restraint system's manual for weight and size ratings.

 Note

• The rear center seat is not equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH lower tether anchors. If a child restraint is used in this seat, attach the restraint's upper anchor strap (if equipped with these) to the top tether anchor point for this strap and secure the child restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt.
• Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.

 Warning

• Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration). If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.
• The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child restraint anchors are only intended for use with child seats positioned in the outboard seating positions. These anchors are not certified for use with any child restraint that is positioned in the center seating position. When securing a child restraint in the center seating position, use only the vehicle's center seat belt.
