PASSENGER COMPARTMENT -
SPECIAL FACILITIES
46
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the
ramp assembly and the door, always
push the ramp fully into its storage
tray (A) so that the rubber pads to the inner
edge of the tray are covered by the ramp,
and the ramp corners are inserted under the
retaining plates (B) each side of the tray.
Reverse the wheelchair into its final position
indicated in the diagram. Attach the two hooks
(C) of the wheel-chair restraint harness to the
wheelchair front upright.
Attaching the offside snaplink is easier to
achieve from the driver’s side passenger door.
To tension the wheelchair retention straps, open
the ‘over-centre’ catch mechanism and pull
down firmly on the loose end of the strap until
the wheelchair is held against the centre
division. Lock the ‘over-centre’ catch into its
closed position and ensure that there is minimal
movement from the wheelchair. If not, then
repeat the procedure. If the wheelchair is fitted
with a brake, apply it at this stage.
WARNING: It is essential that wheel-
chair passenger belt is also fitted.
Seat belts - wheel-chair passenger
The illustrations on this and the following page
show the layout of the seat belt when fitted.
Fit the tongue on the extender belt (E), (normally
stored in the centre console stowage box) into
the buckle (F) at the bottom of the centre
division until a "click" confirms full engagement.
Release the fixed end tongue (G) of the main
seat belt from its buckle (H) at the bottom of the
door pillar.
Pull out the seat belt from its retraction guide (J)
on the body pillar and pass it diagonally across
the passenger's right shoulder, before threading
it through the wheel-chair frame until the sliding
tongue (K) can be inserted into the buckle (L) on
the extender belt. A "click" will confirm full
engagement.
If additional belt length around the passenger is
required insert the extender belt (M) between
the tongue (K) and the buckle (L).
Pass the loose end of the belt across the
passenger's hips, threading it through the
wheel-chair frame, before inserting the fixed end
tongue into its buckle (H). Again, a "click" will
confirm full engagement.
CAUTION: Ensure the belt is not twisted and
follows a natural path from the retraction
guide on the door pillar, across the
passenger's right shoulder and through to
the extender belt buckle. The remaining part
of the belt should pass low over the
passenger's hips (never across the soft parts
of the abdomen).
