84 Seating and Safety Restraints
WHEELCHAIR RESTRAINTS
Your MV-1 may be equipped with the QRT
MAX
TM
wheel-
chair securement system, manufactured by Q’Straint
®
. This
system uses floor tracks and belts with retractors to hold the
wheelchair in place. The system also includes lap and shoulder
belts and full instructions on how to secure the occupant’s
wheelchair in the vehicle. Wheelchairs must always be prop-
erly secured using the restraint system.
ALWAYS secure wheelchairs in the vehicle with securement
systems before putting the vehicle in motion.
REASON: Unsecured wheelchairs can move during a
collision, causing serious bodily injury or death
The MV-1 designed around the usage of the WC19 wheelchair
transit standard developed by the American National Stan-
dards Institute (ANSI
®
), which calls for a four-point, strap-
type tiedown system and a wheelchair with easily accessible
tiedown points.
NEVER leave an passenger that normally requires the
assistance of others alone in the vehicle.
REASON: The passenger would not be able to exit the
vehicle in case of an emergency, which could result in
serious bodily injury or death.
Wheelchair Securing
There are four sets of floor tracks in your vehicle for securing a
wheelchair in two different forward-facing positions. The tracks
are on the passenger side of the vehicle, from the front console to
the rear seat.
DO NOT alter any of the restraint system belts, retractors or
components. Always keep the belts and retractors and
instructions together as a complete kit.
REASON: If the restraint kit is altered or incomplete, the
wheelchair may not be secured correctly. This could cause in
the wheelchair to break loose during a collision, causing
serious bodily injury or death.
