Ford TRANSIT 2022 Owner's Manual page 58

There are three loops of webbing above
the back of the rear seat. Use these loops
as routing loops and anchor loops for up
to three child restraint tether straps.
For example, you can use the center loop
as a routing loop for a child restraint in the
center rear seat and as an anchoring loop
for child restraints installed in the
outermost rear seats.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened if
the tether strap is hooked to the loop
directly behind the child restraint.
To provide a tight tether strap:

1. Route the vehicle tether loop between
the head restraint posts, then route the
child restraint tether strap through the
loop, forward of the head restraint.
2. Hook the strap to the vehicle tether
anchor loop in the adjacent seating
position. If using the driver side, pass
the strap behind the shoulder belt for
the center seat. Put the tether strap
through the routing loop. The head
restraint support post holds the child
restraint tightly, but the head restraint
post is not strong enough to hold the
child restraint during a crash.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to
the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
Perform the following steps to install a
child safety restraint with tether anchors:

Child Safety
1. Route the child safety restraint tether
strap over the back of the seat, under
the head restraint and between the
head restraint posts.

2. Locate the correct anchor on the back
panel of the seat for the selected
seating position. The anchors are
labeled with the tether strap symbol
and are partially covered by the gap
panel. Pull the panel back to fully
expose the anchors.
3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as
shown.
4. Tighten the child safety restraint tether
strap according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
If you did not properly anchor the child
restraint, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.
