6.3 The wheelchair as a passenger seat
in a car with straps
Note!
This wheelchair is crashtested according to
ISO 7176-19 (2008) considering a maximum
passenger weight of 136 kg.
Wheelchairs are not primarily designed to be
used as car seats and cannot offer the same
degree of safety offered by standard car seats,
no matter how securely they have been tied
down in the vehicle concerned.
Due attention should be paid to the following
points when a transfer from the wheelchair to a
standard car seat is not possible.
The wheelchair can be u-sed as a passenger
seat in a car or bus by using a 4-point
integrated transport tie-down system that has
been approved to ISO 10542 standards. Make
sure that this restraint system is suitable to the
total weigth of the wheelchair. The weight of a
wheelchair depends on it's configuration. The
specifications (see 9.2 Technical information)
give an overview of several options and their
share in the total weight. Always weigh the
total chair to make sure that the right restraint
system is used.
The system requires tie-down rails to be
mounted in the car. The chair must always be
strapped to the four tie-down points (figure 12).
