Seating and Safety Restraints Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps General Instructions Some manufacturers make safety seats that include a tether strap that goes over the back of the vehicle seat and attaches to an anchoring point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap as an accessory. Contact the manufacturer of your child safety seat for information about ordering a tether strap. You can attach a tether strap anchor bracket to the cab inner back panel by using a tether anchor kit (613D74) available at no charge from any Ford dealer. Read and follow the instructions provided with the kit carefully, for installation of the child tether strap anchor. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to attach the tether strap to the tether bracket. WARNING Only use the tether attachment hole locations shown in the illustrations. The tether anchor may not perform properly if the wrong mounting location is used. 143
