Ford Probe Owner's Manual page 36

When using any infant or child restraint
system, it is important that you follow the
instructions and warnings provided by the
manufacturer concerning its installation
and use. Failure to follow each of the
restraint manufacturer's instructions could
increase the risk or severity of an injury
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
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.
Front Seats
To install a tether from a child safety seat in the
front seat:
1. Buckle the lap/shoulder belt (in the seat
directly behind the front passenger seat in
which the child safety seat will be installed).
2. Pull all the stored belt out of the rear seat
retractor to switch the retractor to automatic
locking mode.
3. Let the retractor wind up the slack from the
lap/shoulder belt.
4. Install the child safety seat in the front seat.
Refer to the previous section on Installing
Safety Seats. Hook the tether strap hook
around the webbing near the center of the
shoulder portion of the locked lap/shoulder
belt.
5. Tighten the tether strap.
