5. Transport and storage

5.1 Using the wheelchair as a vehicle seat

If the wheelchair is to be used as a vehicle seat, the relevant specifications of the wheelchair manufacturer must be observed.
Similarly, the via GO and its control unit must not remain connected to the wheelchair; they must be removed from it. When stored in the
vehicle, both parts must always be secured to prevent them flying around in an uncontrolled manner. This is to ensure that they do not
pose a risk to passengers during a braking manoeuvre.
If the via GO is connected to the wheelchair, the wheelchair must not be used as a vehicle seat.

Vehicles with a wheelchair lift
• If the vehicle is equipped with a wheelchair lift or similar equipment, the wheelchair with the via GO may only be moved onto the plat-
form if extreme caution is exercised.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Make sure that neither you nor the wheelchair user make any sudden, abrupt or jerky movements.
• Look in the direction of travel and avoid any distractions.
• If the wheelchair user is in the vehicle and if the wheelchair is used as a vehicle seat, the via GO and its control unit must be removed
from the wheelchair.
• If the wheelchair user is re-seated on a standard seat in the vehicle, the user must be protected by the vehicle's own safety system, e.g.
airbags and side-on collision protection.
Alber GmbH accepts no liability whatsoever for any accidents, their consequences, or damage to the wheelchair, the via
GO or other objects and installations that result from failure to comply with these requirements and instructions.

5.2 Safety instructions for transportation of the via GO and a wheelchair in a vehicle

The via GO and the control unit must be removed from the wheelchair during transport.
Both parts must be secured in such a way that they do not pose a risk to passengers during a braking manoeuvre. As the safeguard, we
recommend that you secure the via GO in the vehicle using sufficiently stable straps, for example. Please note that this is a non-binding
recommendation (we accept no liability for the results of such action). The via GO must not be stored without first being secured.
Please also observe the instructions and specifications of the wheelchair manufacturer.
Please check whether there are specific regulations regarding the safeguarding of the via GO and the control unit in your jurisdiction; if
there are, always adhere to these regulations.
Accidents of any kind, and their consequences, as well as damage to the wheelchair or the via GO that
• result from non-compliance with these instructions
• result from non-compliance with the applicable laws and regulations in the country of use
• can be attributed to the use of impermissible or unsuitable safety systems
are situations for which Alber GmbH and their representatives do not accept any liability.
