2.4.4 Transport by vehicle, as seat for user
The wheelchair has passed the crash test of ISO 7176-19: 2008 and, as such, has been
designed and tested for use only as forward-facing seat in a motor vehicle.
The wheelchair is tested dynamically with the ATD (anthropomorphic test device) using a
four-points strap-tie system and a 3-point occupant-restraint system. Nevertheless, the user
should preferably be transferred to one of the seats inside the vehicle and use vehicle's
restrain system. The wheelchair should be stored as luggage in a separate (cargo)
compartment, see §2.4.3 .
WARNING
Use 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 7176-19:2008.
Following involvement in any type of vehicle collision, have your wheelchair inspected by
the specialist dealer or manufacturer's representative before reuse.
Securing the wheelchair
1. Make sure that the vehicle has a suitable wheelchair four-points strap-tie-down and occupant-
restraint system conform ISO 10542, and that both systems are not frayed, contaminated,
damaged or broken.
2. Use the operating console to return your wheelchair to stable position, see §3.5.
3. Remove all mounted accessories such as trays and respiratory equipment and secure them
in a safe place. If not possible, secure them to the wheelchair but positioned away from the
occupant with energy-absorbing padding placed between tray and user.
4. Use a ramp to drive the wheelchair (with user) in the vehicle according to the instructions in
§3.2.1.
5. Position the user facing forward in the travelling direction, centrally between the tie-down rails
mounted in the floor of the vehicle.
6. Make sure that the user is sitting as upright as possible. If the user's condition prevents this,
carry out a risk assessment to evaluate the user's safety during transit.
7. Turn the operating console OFF and make sure that the free-wheel lever is in braking mode,
see §3.4.

straps tight, see §3.4.
12. Attach the rear securement-strap hooks to the securement points (B) on the rear in the same
way.
