Seating and Safety Restraints Some of the rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether strap anchors located behind the seats as described below. In the third row center seating position, the tether anchor is a loop at the bottom of the seatback. The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view): • Second row bench seat • Second row bucket seats Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor. Once the child safety seat has been installed using either the safety belt, the lower anchors of the LATCH system, or both, you can attach the top tether strap. Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat with tether anchors: Second row seating positions 1. Route the child safety seat tether strap under the head restraint (outboard seats) and over the back of the seat. For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. If the top of the safety seat hits the head restraint, raise the head restraint to let the child seat fit further rearward. 2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. 238 2009 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
