Wheelchair restraint
Once a wheelchair has been loaded, it must be secured using the safety
harness restraints provided. These can be found in the vehicle's glovebox.
Two harnesses are supplied and should be inserted into
the two available sockets, located below the rearward-
facing occasional seats, (Fig. 28).
These sockets may be extended or retracted to enable
the driver to reach to the wheelchair. This can be
achieved by using a switch directly behind the division,
located in driver's compartment, (Fig. 29).
The harnesses should then be securely attached to the
lower arm of the wheelchair, (Fig. 30).
Ensure that all straps are then pulled tight making sure
that the wheelchair is unable to move during transit,
(Fig. 31).
Once the wheelchair has been secured, the occupant
restraints should then be applied.

glovebox, along with the wheelchair restraints. These should be fitted after
the wheelchair has been secured.

The occupant restraint harnesses comprise of a red,
2-point shoulder harness, and a pair of black lap harnesses.
The red shoulder harness should be hooked to the fixing
point located between the rearward facing occasional
seats, (Fig. 32).
The two straps should then be placed over the
occupants shoulders.
The two lap harnesses should now be fitted to the two
Fig.29
sockets available either side of the wheelchair wheels,
(Fig. 32). The opposing end of each harness should then
be passed under the wheelchair arms and over the
occupants lap, (Fig. 34).
The two shoulder harness eyelets should then be pressed
together between each lap harness and securely
fixed using the lap harness, latch and socket (Fig. 34).
