34 Child Safety Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Row Bench Seats For the center position of a three-passenger bench seat, attach the tether strap directly to the tether bracket provided under the back edge of the seat cushion. For the outboard positions, attach the tether strap 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 crash. 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 crash 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. 2014 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
