Seating and safety restraints To install a tether from a child safety seat in the front seat, route the tether strap under the vehicle seat head restraint and hook the tether hook into the hole in the tongue of the center rear lap belt. After the hook is in the hole, pull on the loose end of the lap belt webbing to shorten the belt and tighten the tether strap. To install a tethered child safety seat in the rear seat, you will need tether anchor hardware. 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. Tether anchor hardware Tether anchor hardware kits (part number 613D74), including instructions, may be obtained at no charge from any Ford or LincolnMercury dealer. All vehicles built for sale in Canada include a tether anchor hardware kit. 78
