Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps General Instructions Some manufacturers make safety seats that include an upper tether strap that goes over the seatback and attaches to an anchoring point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap as an accessory. Contact the manufacturer of your child safety seat for information about ordering a tether strap. You can install a tether strap anchor bracket to the cab inner back panel by using a tether anchor bracket kit (613D74) available at no charge from any Ford dealer. Read and follow the instructions provided with the kit carefully for installation of the child tether strap anchor. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to attach the tether strap to the tether bracket. Ford recommends placement of tethered safety seats in a rear seating position (Crew Cab and Super Cab with forward facing rear seat only) with the tether strap installed to the tether anchoring point as shown in the instructions provided with the child tether strap anchor kit. RWARNING Only use the tether attachment hole locations shown in the illustrations. The tether anchor may not perform properly if the wrong mounting location is used. 46
