Sable V6-3.0L VIN U (1999)
Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
If a child safety belt anchor tether is required for the child's safety seat, a child safety belt anchor tether can be obtained free from any Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer. Attachment holes at each rear seating position have been provided in all vehicles.
WARNING: IF THE ANCHOR BOLTS ARE EVER REMOVED, THE HOLE(S) IN THE FLOOR MUST BE SEALED TO PREVENT THE
POSSIBILITY OF FUMES ENTERING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.
On all wagon models, three steel U-shaped load floor anchors are located on the forward auxiliary floor trim panel. The anchors allow attachment of the
child safety belt anchor tether. They can be reached by inserting a small screwdriver under the attachment anchor covers and prying them off the anchors.
Tether attachments have been provided on the auxiliary floor front center support for attaching rear (second) seat tether restraints only.
WARNING: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BOLT/ANCHOR BE SECURELY TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATION. OTHERWISE, THE
CHILD'S SAFETY SEAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED AND THE CHILD COULD BE INJURED IN CASE OF A SUDDEN STOP
OR ACCIDENT.
Instructions for installing the child safety belt anchor tether are included in the kit with the tether attachment.
