•
Wheelchair users, their carers and family are advised to check vehicle
specifications to ensure that sufficient floor space is available to
accommodate the wheelchair and tie-down system. These distances
are based upon the desire to maintain clear zones for potential head
excursions of occupants provided with both upper and lower torso
restraints.
•
Users of heavy powered wheelchairs are also advised to check vehicle
carrying capacity. If in doubt consult the vehicle supplier for further
details.
•
Any airbag, as fitted to the vehicle, shall be used only as a supplementary
occupant restraint if designed to be used in combination with the Solar
Quattro and an appropriate occupant restraint.
•
Installers of these kits should take note of any vehicle airbag position
when planning the installation. Airbags can cause serious injury if a
wheelchair-seated occupant is seated too close to an airbag position. If
in doubt contact the vehicle manufacturer or your National Automotive
Regulatory Body for advice.
