Seating and safety restraints tether strap hook around the webbing near the center of the shoulder portion of the locked lap/shoulder belt. 5. Tighten the tether strap. Rear seats If you must use a tethered safety seat on one of the rear seats, you can anchor the strap to the appropriate tether anchor directly behind that seat position. Tether anchorage hardware Attachment holes (at each rear outboard seating position) have been provided in your vehicle to attach anchor hardware, if required. Tether anchorage hardware kits (part number 613D74) including instructions, may be obtained at no charge from any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer. All vehicles built for sale in Canada include a tether anchor hardware kit. Be sure to follow the child safety seat manufacturer's instructions. 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. If you have a station wagon, tether anchors are already installed for each of the second row seating positions. 1. Behind the second seat, find the plastic snap-on covers for the floor anchors. 70
