Seating and Safety Restraints
The automatic locking mode is activated whenever all of the
belt webbing is pulled out of the retractor.
While in this mode, the belt will retract or tighten but cannot be
pulled back out to obtain more length. To disengage the
automatic locking mode, unbuckle the belt and allow the
webbing to retract fully.
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.
All vehicles built for sale in Canada include tether anchor
hardware for use with Canadian child safety seats. The tether
anchor hardware is located in the tire changing tool kit.
Additional tether anchor hardware can be obtained at no charge
from any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
Vehicles built for sale in the USA do not include tether anchor
hardware, but it can be obtained at no charge from any Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer (Part number F3XY-12613D20-A).
The chart below specifies, for each seat type and position, where
the tether strap must be attached to the vehicle and the section
containing the appropriate instructions for tethering.
