Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps
Some manufacturers make safety seats that
include a tether strap that goes over the back of
the vehicle seat and attaches to an anchoring
point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap
as an accessory. Contact the manufacturer of
your child safety seat for information about
ordering a tether strap.
You can attach a tether strap anchor bracket to
the rear floor by using a tether anchor kit
(613D74), available at no charge from any Ford
dealership.
Read and carefully follow the instructions
provided with the kit for installation of the child
tether strap anchor.
Ford recommends placement of tethered safety
seats in a second row seating position with the
tether strap installed to the tether anchoring
point as shown in the instructions provided with
the child tether strap anchor kit.
Only use the tether attachment hole
locations shown in the illustrations. The
tether anchor may not perform properly if
the wrong mounting location is used.
Four (4) tether strap anchor locations have been
provided in your vehicle. If you want your
child's safety seat located in the front, right hand
passenger seat, you must use the tether strap
anchor attachment location under the second
row bench seat or right hand bucket seat. For
second row seating positions, you must use one
of the three (3) tether strap anchor locations
under the third row bench seat.
