Rear Seats If you use a tethered safety seat on one of the rear seats, install a tether anchor bracket to one of the two 0.3 inch (8 mm) weld nuts on the rear of the cargo area below the opening for the liftgate. Tether Anchorage Hardware Tether anchor hardware 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. Installing the Anchor Bracket 1. 2. Open the liftgate and take out the luggage compartment cover (if equipped). The anchorage nuts used to secure the tether anchor are located in the rear body panel behind the trim at the rear of the luggage compartment. Remove the trim panel. The backside of the panel is scored at the locations of the anchorage nuts. Make a hole the size of the scoring in the trim panel to provide access to the anchor nut. The hole should be made on the same side of the vehicle as the child safety seat will be located. Reinstall the trim panel. 35
