This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a
forward-facing mode with the specified crash test dummy,
which corresponds to a person with a weight of over 300
lbs (136 kg) restrained by Both pelvic and shoulder belts
in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19.
Both pelvic and upper torso belts should be used to reduce

WARNING!
Risk of Injury
–
This wheelchair MUST be in a forward facing
position during travel in a motor vehicle.
–
The recommended clear zones for wheelchair
seated occupants restrained by both pelvic
and upper torso belt(s) and only by a pelvic
belt are shown in the diagrams and described
below.
–
Frontal Clear Zones (FCZ) need to be LARGER
when upper torso belt(s) are NOT used.
WARNING!
Risk of Injury
– Vehicle interior components that cannot be
removed from the clear zones or that are
near the wheelchair occupant may contact the
wheelchair occupant's head during side-impact
collision or vehicle rollover. These components
should be padded with material that complies
with FMVSS201.
The rear clear zone of 20 inches (500 mm) is measured from
the rearmost point on an occupant’s head.
The frontal clear zone is measured from the frontmost point
on an occupant’s head and is 26 inches (66 cm) with pelvic
and upper-torso belt(s) and 37 inches (94 cm) with ONLY
a pelvic belt.
The frontal clear zone may not be achievable for
wheelchair-seated drivers.
The estimated seated height (HHT) from the ground or floor
to the top of the wheelchair-seated occupant’s head ranges
from approximately 47 inches (119 cm) for a small adult
female to about 61 inches (155 cm) for a tall adult male.
