/!\WARNING
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer's
instructions included with the safety seat you
put in your vehicle. If you do not install and
use the safety seat properly, the child may be
injured in a sudden stop or collision.
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
All vehicles include a tether anchor installed at the
rear center seating position for use with child safety
seats. Attachment holes (at each rear outboard
38
seating position) have been provided in your
vehicle to attach anchor hardware, if required.
Additional kits can be obtained at no charge from
any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
Safety Belts for Children
Children who are too large for child safety seats
should always wear safety belts. (See instructions
with your child seat, or contact its manufacturer,
to determine maximum size of child that will
safely fit in the seat.)
/!\ WARNING
If safety belts are not properly worn and
adjusted as described, the risk of serious
injury to the child in a collision will be
much greater.
