Both pelvic-belt and shoulder-belt restraints that comply with
WC18 and/or WC19 should be used to limit occupant movement
in a crash and reduce the likelihood of occupant ejection from the
vehicle and/or injurious contact of the occupant with the vehicle
interior.
Belt restraints should be positioned on the wheelchair occupant
in accordance with WTORS manufacturer’s instructions.
Backrest mounting hardware must be installed correctly. Refer to
the appropriate section for correct backrest hardware mounting
instructions.
If the wheelchair is being transported while occupied, the
wheelchair must still be secured to the WTORS.
Children whose mass is less than 48.5 lbs. (22 kg) should be
transferred from their seating system into appropriate child
restraint systems intended for use in motor vehicles.
Sufficient forward and rearward clear space should be provided
around the wheelchair occupant. Forward clear-space zone (FCZ)
needs to be larger when a shoulder-belt restraint is not used.
