Seating and safety restraints

78

To install a tether from a child
safety seat in the front seat, route
the tether strap under the vehicle
seat head restraint and hook the
tether hook into the hole in the
tongue of the center rear lap belt.
After the hook is in the hole, pull
on the loose end of the lap belt
webbing to shorten the belt and
tighten the tether strap.

To install a tethered child safety
seat in the rear seat, you will need
tether anchor hardware.

Tether anchor hardware

Tether anchor hardware kits (part
number 613D74), including
instructions, may be obtained at no
charge from any Ford or Lincoln-
Mercury dealer. All vehicles built
for sale in Canada include a tether
anchor hardware kit.

Tighten the anchor
according to specifications.

Otherwise, the safety seat may not
be properly secured and the child
may be injured in a sudden stop or
collision.
