Seating and safety restraints Child safety seat tether belt anchor All vehicles include a tether anchorage hardware kit for use with child safety seats. Some manufacturers make child safety seats with a tether strap that goes over the back of the vehicle seat and attaches to an anchoring point behind the vehicle seat. Attachment holes (at each rear seating position) have been provided in your vehicle to attach the anchorage hardware, if required. Additional kits can be obtained at no charge from any authorized Ford dealer. (Installations instructions are included in the kit.) Installing child safety seats in combination lap and shoulder belt seat positions 1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt. When using forward-facing child seats move the passenger seat as far back from the instrument panel as possible. Never secure rear-facing infant seats in the front seat. 2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together. 104
