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 1).
7. Roll back the wheelchair until the front straps are tight.
8. Apply the wheelchair brake.
9. Mount the back 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).
Steps to secure the wheelchair user:

2. If present, attach the wheelchair's pelvic belt.
3. Attach the occupant restraint belts according to the
instructions of the strap-system manufacturer.
4. Wear the pelvic belt 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 the figure.
5. A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is
desirable.
6. Adjust the belt tightly according to the instructions of
the strap-system manufacturer, consistent with the
user's comfort.

and that no bends in the belt are visible, for instance at the axle of the rear wheel.
