Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps
*
[SR18410(BEF )03/01]
General Instructions
[SR18413(BEF )02/95]
Some manufacturers make safety seats that
include an upper tether strap that goes over the
seatback 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.
*
[SR18417(B )12/91]
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.
*
[SR18420(BEF )03/91]
Read and follow the instructions provided with
the kit carefully for installation of the child
tether strap anchor.
*
[SR18501(BEF )03/91]
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions
to attach the tether strap to the tether bracket.
*
[SR18700(B )04/95]
Ford recommends placement of tethered safety
seats in a rear 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.
[SR18875(B )04/95]
This vehicle has provisions to install a tether
anchorage in the front, right hand and all second
row seating positions. It is easiest to install a
tether anchor at the second row, rear, center
seating position.
[SR18900(B )03/91]
If the tethered seat is installed in the front seat,
Ford recommends the center front seating
position, with the tether strap secured to the
center rear lap belt tongue or to the webbing of
the buckled center rear lap belt behind the child
safety seat. The front, right hand seating position
may be used if it is the only seating position
available.

locations shown in the illustrations. The
tether anchor may not perform properly if
the wrong mounting location is used.
*
[SR19400(B F )04/95]
The rear lap/shoulder safety belts should not be
used to secure the tether strap of a safety seat
located in the front seat.
*
[SR19500(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
Failure to follow these precautions could
increase the chance of injury in an
accident.
*
[SR19550(B )05/95]
RWARNING
If the anchor bolt(s) is ever removed, the
hole(s) in the floor must be sealed to
prevent the possibility of exhaust fumes
entering the passenger compartment.
