Use of the wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle
In order to use a wheelchair as a motor vehicle seat, it needs to be equipped with attachment points
to enable anchoring in the motor vehicle. These accessories may be included in the standard scope
of wheelchair order but may also be obtained from Chasswheel as an option.
This power wheelchair complies with the requirements of ISO 7176-19:2001 and may be used as a
vehicle seat in connection with an anchoring system that has been checked and approved in
accordance with ISO 10542. The wheelchair has undergone a crash test in which it was anchored in
the transporting vehicle's direction of travel. Other configurations were not tested. The crash test
dummy was secured using pelvic and upper body safety belts. Both types of safety belt should be
used in order to minimize the risk of injuries to head or upper body. It is imperative that the
wheelchair is inspected by an authorized dealer before being used again after being involved in a
crash. Alterations to the wheelchair anchoring points may not be carried out without the
manufacturer's permission.
Caution: There is a danger of injury if the wheelchair is not properly secured during use
as a vehicle seat!
• If possible, the user should always leave the wheelchair to use a vehicle seat and the safety belts
provided with the vehicle.
• The wheelchair should always be anchored facing in the transport vehicle's intended direction of
travel.
• The wheelchair must always be secured in accordance with the wheelchair and anchoring system
manufacturers’ operating manual.
• Always remove and secure any accessory parts fixed to the wheelchair such as chin controls or
tables.
• If your wheelchair is equipped with an angle adjustable backrest, then it must be placed in an
upright position.
• Fully lower elevated leg rests, if fitted.
• Fully lower the seat lifter, if fitted.
• Always completely lower height-adjustable leg rests, if fitted
WARNING: Danger of injury exists if a power wheelchair that is not equipped with leak-
proof batteries is transported in a vehicle!
