Risk of injuries
• For D200 30°: Do NOT use your wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle.
• The wheelchair has passed the crash test of ISO 7176-19: 2022 and, as such, has been
designed and tested for use only as forward-facing seat in a motor vehicle.
• The wheelchair's pelvic belt alone is not suited as an occupant restraint belt.
• Use the wheelchair's pelvic belt and the applicable three-points belt in the vehicle to
prevent head and chest impacts with the vehicle.
• Do not use postural supports to restrain the user in the vehicle unless they are labelled as
being in accordance with the requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2022.
• Following involvement in any type of vehicle collision, have your wheelchair inspected by
the specialist dealer or manufacturer's representative before reuse.
The wheelchair is tested using the four-point strap-tie system and a 3-point occupant-restraint
system.
Whenever feasible, use the seat of the vehicle and store the wheelchair in the cargo area.
2.4.2.1. Steps to secure the wheelchair in a motor vehicle:
1. Check that the vehicle is equipped with a suitable wheelchair tie down and occupant-
restraint system, conform ISO 10542.
2. Check that the components of the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system are
not frayed, contaminated, damaged or broken.
3. If equipped with an adjustable seat and/or back tilt, make sure that the wheelchair user is
sitting as upright as possible. If the user's condition prevents this, a risk assessment should be
done to evaluate the user's safety during transit.
4. Remove all mounted accessories such as trays and respiratory equipment, and secure them
in a safe place.
5. Position the wheelchair facing forward in the travelling direction, centrally between the tie-
down rails mounted in the floor of the vehicle.
6. Mount the front securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system
manufacturer at the indicated place (figure 1). This place is marked on the wheelchair with
a symbol (figure 2).
7. Roll back the wheelchair until the front straps are tight.
