Hook the tether strap hook around the webbing near the center of the shoulder portion of the locked lap/shoulder belt. Tighten the tether strap. 5. Rear Seats If you use a tethered safety seat on one of the rear seats, you can anchor the strap to the appropriate tether anchor directly behind that seat position. Tether anchorage hardware Attachment holes (at each rear outboard seating position) have been provided in your vehicle to attach anchor hardware, if required. Kits can be obtained at no charge from any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer. Be sure to follow the child safety seat manufacturer's instructions. RWARNING 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. In a station wagon, you simply attach the tether strap to one of the anchors that are already installed for you. 47
