27.2 Restraint systems
With the wheelchair restraint system, elements
are designated that are used to secure the
wheelchair in the vehicle. Persons are secured
using components of the person retention sys-
tem (PRS). A comprehensive system for the
optimum transportation of the wheelchair in the
motor vehicle comprises both components.
These are matched to one-another so that their
forces are not transferred to another system.
Similar to the crash test performed, a suitable
wheelchair and passenger restraint system
consists of a 4-point wheelchair restraint sys-
tem and a 3-point passenger restraint system.
Elements of the
wheelchair restraint system
include:
Retractors consisting of 2 retractors at the
front without hand tensioning wheel and 2
retractors at the rear with hand tensioning
wheel (e.g. manufacturer Schnierle Safety
Belts GmbH).

it offers better protection during travel
when used properly.
