4.3 Use as seat in a motor vehicle
The wheelchair is designed to be secured facing forward when used as a seat in a motor vehicle and it
complies with the requirements of ISO 7176-19:2008.
It is possible to use four-point strap systems or the DAHL docking station.
Ease of access to, and maneuverability in, motor vehicle can be significantly affected by wheelchair size
and turning radius. Smaller wheelchairs or with a shorter turning radius will generally provide greater ease
of vehicle access and maneuverability to a forward- facing position.
Always use ISO 10542-1 approved Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems, which are
suitable for the weight of the wheelchair or Dahl docking.
Wheelchair users should transfer to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-manufacturer-installed restraint
systems whenever it is feasible and the unoccupied wheelchair should be stored in a cargo area or secured
in the vehicle during the travel.
For the correct positioning of occupant belt restraints on the user, please consider following.
• The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, so that the angle of the
pelvic belt is within the preferred zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal, similar to that
shown in figure.
