Installing Child Safety Seats at
the Rear Center Seating Position
with Locking Adjustable Lap Belt
DO NOT install a forward-facing child safety
seat in the third row center seating position.
Forward-facing seats must be installed with a
lap/shoulder belt, or a lap belt and top tether
strap.
1.
Lengthen the lap belt. To lengthen the belt,
hold the tongue so that its bottom is
perpendicular to the direction of webbing
while sliding the tongue toward the loose
end of webbing.
2.
Place the child safety seat in the center
seating position.
3.
Route the tongue and webbing through the
child seat according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
4.
Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle
for the center seating position until you hear
a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by
pulling on tongue.
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 child seat,
forcibly tilt the child seat from side-to-side
and in forward directions to ensure 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 seating 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.
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.
Read and carefully follow the instructions
provided with the kit for installation of the child
tether strap anchor.
Ford recommends placement of tethered safety
seats in a second row 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.

WARNING
Only use the tether attachment hole
locations shown in the illustrations. The
tether anchor may not perform properly if
the wrong mounting location is used.
Four (4) tether strap anchor locations have been
provided in your vehicle. If you want your
child’s safety seat located in the front, right hand
passenger seat, you must use the tether strap
anchor attachment location under the second
row bench seat or right hand bucket seat. For
second row seating positions, you must use one
of the three (3) tether strap anchor locations
under the third row bench seat.

Until a floor anchor is installed, follow these
steps to install a tethered child safety seat in the
front seat:
1.
Buckle the lap/shoulder belt in the seat
directly behind the front passenger seat.
2.
Pull all the stored belt out of the rear seat
belt retractor to switch the retractor to
automatic locking mode.
3.
Let the retractor wind up the slack from the
lap/shoulder belt. A clicking sound should
be heard as the belt retracts, indicating that
the retractor is in automatic locking mode.
4.
Install the child safety seat in the right front
seat. Refer to the previous section on
Installing Child Safety Seats
. Hook the tether
strap around the webbing near the center of
the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder
belt.
5.
Tighten the tether strap.
Until floor-mounted tether anchors are installed,
tether straps of child safety seats in the second
row may be anchored to lap/shoulder belts for
the third row, following the five steps above, or
to the tongue of the third row lap belt.
R
WARNING
Follow these precautions to decrease the
chance of injury in an accident.
R
WARNING
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.

Built-In Child Seat (If equipped)
The second row bench seat may include an
optional built-in child safety seat. This child
restraint is to be used
only
by children who are
at least one year old, weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10 and 27 kilograms) and whose
shoulders (top) are below the shoulder harness
slots in the seatbacks with the headrest in the
full up position.
If your child is less than one year old or weighs
less than 10 kilograms (22 pounds),
always
use a
rear facing infant or convertible seat because a
child of that size is not sufficiently developed to
withstand crash forces in a front facing position.
Follow the specific manufacturer’s instructions
for weight and height restrictions.
Children must be properly buckled before riding
in the vehicle. It is the law in every state and
province. This child seat conforms to all
Federal/Canadian motor vehicle safety
standards.
Always adjust the lap and shoulder harness belts
provided with this child seat snugly around
your child.
R
WARNING
Do not leave children, unreliable adults,
or pets unattended in your vehicle.
R
WARNING
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a
vehicle that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small child.
Check seat covers and buckles before you
place a child anywhere near them.
