2001 Lincoln LS Owner's Manual - Page 137

Seating and safety restraints used at this seating position only if the child seat instructions state that the child seat can be installed to anchors that are 500 mm apart. Do not attach a child seat to any lower anchor if an adjacent child seat is attached to that anchor. Do not attach a child seat to any lower anchors used for child seat installation if an adjacent child seat is attached to that anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death. The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seat back. Each lower anchor for child seat installation is located 2-3 inches below the locator symbols. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install safety seats with LATCH lower anchors and LATCH-compatible attachments. Two plastic LATCH guides may be obtained at no charge from any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer. They snap onto the latch lower anchor in the vehicle to help attach a child seat with rigid latch attachments. It will hold the seat foam away and expose the anchor making attachment of the child seat easier. Attach the lower anchors for child seat installation or lower anchors for child seat installation-compatible child seat only to the appropriate locations shown. 137
