• 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 this wheelchair & occupant restraint 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.
