headrest FORD F450 SUPER DUTY 2017 Owners Manual

Crew Cab and Super Cab
Attach the tether strap only to theappropriate tether anchor as shown. Thetether strap may not work properly ifattached somewhere other than thecorrect tether anchor.
If you install a child restraint with rigidLATCH attachments, do not tighten thetether strap enough to lift the childrestraint off the vehicle seat cushion whenthe child is seated in it. Keep the tetherstrap just snug without lifting the front ofthe child restraint. Keeping the childrestraint just touching the vehicle seatgives the best protection in a severe crash.
Once the child safety seat has beeninstalled using either the seatbelt, thelower anchors of the LATCH system, orboth, you can attach the top tether strap.

If your child restraint system has a tetherstrap, and the child restraint manufacturerrecommends its use, we also recommendits use.
Rear Seat Tether StrapAttachment (Crew Cab and SuperCab)
There are three loops of webbing justabove the back of the rear seat (along thebottom edge of the rear window). Usethese loops as both routing loops andanchor loops for up to three child safetyseat tether straps.
For example, you can use the center loopas a routing loop for a child safety seat inthe center rear seat and as an anchoringloop for child restraints installed in theoutboard rear seats.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened ifthe tether strap is hooked to the loopdirectly behind the child restraint. Toprovide a tight tether strap:
1. Route the tether strap under the headrestraint and through the loop directlybehind the child restraint.
2.Route the tether strap behind the headrestraint supports to a loop behind anadjacent seating position, and hook thestrap hook onto the loop. If using thedriver side, pass the strap behind theshoulder belt for the center seat.Always put the tether strap through therouting loop. The head restraintsupport post will hold the childrestraint tightly, but the head restraintpost is not strong enough to hold thechild restraint during a crash.
3. Tighten the tether strap according tothe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions.
