5. Push down on the child seat while pulling on the loose end of the lap
belt webbing to tighten the belt.
6. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly tilt the child seat
from side to side and in forward direction to make sure that the seat is
held securely in place. If the child seat moves excessively, repeat steps 5
through 6, or properly install the child seat in a different position.
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.
Tether anchorage hardware
A tethered seat can be installed in the front passenger seat. Put the
tether strap over the seatback and attach it to an anchor bracket.
An anchor bracket can be installed on the rear edge of the front
passenger seat cushion.
The provision (attaching hole) is provided in the rear edge of the front
passenger seat cushion frame. The anchor bracket must be installed
using the instructions provided with the kit.
Tether anchorage hardware kits (part number 613D74) including
instructions, may be obtained at no charge from any Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
If you have a SuperCab, attach the bracket to the inside of the back
panel of your vehicle. Carefully follow the instructions provided with the
kit.
If you have a SuperCab, Ford recommends you attach tether safety seats
in the rear seating position (if possible) with the tether strap attached to
the tether anchorage bracket as shown in the instructions provided with
the tether anchor kit.
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.
