Seating System
WARNING
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor vehicle with the factory installed seating system only.
When feasible, wheelchair occupants should transfer into the vehicle seat and use the OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) vehicle-installed restraint system
Ensure that the factory installed seating system is secured to the wheelchair frame before operation. Refer to the seating system owner's manual.

Positioning Belts

WARNING
The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred zone of 45 to 75 degrees to the horizontal OR within the
optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the pelvic belt is intended to be used for postural support in
addition to occupant restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the tendency for a vertical gap to develop
between the user and the belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt movement, thereby reducing the tendency for
the user to slip under the belt and for the belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during normal use
Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during frontal
impact loading.
