Child Safety Use of Inboard Lower Anchors from the Outboard Seating Positions (Center Seating Use) WARNING The standardized spacing for LATCH lower anchors is 11 inches (28 centimeters) center to center. Do not use LATCH lower anchors for the center seating position unless the child seat manufacturer's instructions permit and specify using anchors spaced at least as far apart as those in this vehicle. The lower anchors at the center of the second row rear seat are spaced 18 inches (46 centimeters) apart. A child seat with rigid LATCH attachments cannot be installed at the center seating position. LATCH compatible child seats (with attachments on belt webbing) can only be used at this seating position provided that the child seat manufacturer's instructions permit use with the anchor spacing stated. Do not attach a child seat to any lower anchor if an adjacent child seat is attached to that anchor. Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug the child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to your vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this for a proper installation. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases. Combining Safety Belt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching Child Safety Seats When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat. Using Tether Straps Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach the appropriate top tether anchor in your vehicle. 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. The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view): 24 MKZ (), enUSA

Use of Inboard Lower Anchors from the

Outboard Seating Positions (Center Seating

Use)

WARNING

The standardized spacing for LATCH

lower anchors is 11 inches (28

centimeters) center to center. Do not use

LATCH lower anchors for the center seating

position unless the child seat manufacturer's

instructions permit and specify using anchors

spaced at least as far apart as those in this

vehicle.

The lower anchors at the center of the

second row rear seat are spaced 18 inches

(46 centimeters) apart. A child seat with rigid

LATCH attachments cannot be installed at

the center seating position. LATCH

compatible child seats (with attachments on

belt webbing) can only be used at this

seating position provided that the child seat

manufacturer's instructions permit use with

the anchor spacing stated. Do not attach a

child seat to any lower anchor if an adjacent

child seat is attached to that anchor.

Each time you use the safety seat, check that

the seat is properly attached to the lower

anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug

the child seat from side to side and forward

and back where it is secured to your vehicle.

The seat should move less than one inch

when you do this for a proper installation.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly,

the risk of a child being injured in a crash

greatly increases.

Combining Safety Belt and LATCH Lower

Anchors for Attaching Child Safety Seats

When used in combination, either the safety

belt or the LATCH lower anchors may be

attached first, provided a proper installation

is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward,

if included with the child seat.

Using Tether Straps

Many forward-facing child safety

seats include a tether strap which

extends from the back of the child

safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point

called the top tether anchor. Tether straps

are available as an accessory for many older

safety seats.

Contact the manufacturer of your child seat

for information about ordering a tether strap,

or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether

strap on your safety seat does not reach the

appropriate top tether anchor in your vehicle.

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.

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are
