Seating and safety restraints Tether anchorage hardware Attachment holes (at each rear outboard seating position) have been provided in your vehicle to attach anchor hardware, if required. Tether anchorage hardware kits (part number 613D74) including instructions, may be obtained at no charge from any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer. All vehicles built for sale in Canada include a tether anchor hardware kit. Be sure to follow the child safety seat manufacturer's instructions. 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. If you have a station wagon, tether anchors are already installed for each of the second row seating positions. 1. Behind the second seat, find the plastic snap-on covers for the floor anchors. 2. Use a screwdriver or coin to snap the covers off the anchor in a rearward and upward direction. Remove the covers completely. 3. Snap the tether strap hook onto the U-shaped tether anchor. 79
