FORD 2013 E-450 v.1 - Manual (Page 34)

Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Row Bench Seats
For the center position of a
three-passenger bench seat, the
tether strap can be attached
directly to the tether bracket
provided under the back edge of the
seat cushion. For the outboard
positions, the tether strap can be
attached to the slot in the side of
the seat pedestal.
1. For any three-passenger bench seat, place the child safety seat in any
of the seating positions. For the four passenger bench, the tether
anchors are located on the left and right hand positions only.
2. Route the child safety tether
strap over the back of the bench
seat.
3. For any three passenger bench, clip the center tether strap hook to
the tether bracket mounted under rear rail of seat cushion frame. For
either the three or four passenger bench, clip the outboard tether strap
hooks to the tether bracket slot provided on the left side of each seat
pedestal. The slot is located between the two holes.
If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat may not be
retained properly in the event of a collision.
4. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision greatly increases.
If your child restraint system is equipped with a tether strap, and the
child restraint manufacturer recommends its use, Ford also recommends
its use.
