1985 Volvo DL, GL and Turbo Passenger seat height The front passenger seat is retained by four brackets, each with three positions. The positions are the same as for the driver's seat. However, this adjustment must be accomplished manually, using appropriate hand tools. Child safety Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants, including children. Remember that regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat or in the cargo section of a station wagon. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child. In many states and provinces there is legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a car. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system: ● It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213-80) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213. ● Make sure the child restraint system is appropriate for the child's height, weight and development - the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information. ● In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. ● If your child restraint requires a top tether strap, consult your authorized Volvo dealer for top tether anchorage and installation information. When a child has outgrown the child safety seat (approximately 4-5 years of age, depending on size) you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat lap belt is as far down on the hips as possible. A safety cushion for this purpose can be obtained from your Volvo dealer. pg. 24 Seat belts file:///K|/ownersdocs/1985/1985_DL_GL_and_Turbo/85240_01b.htm (5 of 20)12/30/2006 7:49:13 AM
