2.8.1 Transport in public transportation

In every public transportation, a spot must be
provided to place the wheelchair according to the EG-
guideline 2001/85/EG.
ATTENTION
The spot in public transportation is only arranged
for EMPTY wheelchairs.
ATTENTION
Place the wheelchair in the provided area opposite
the driving direction so that the backrest and a side
guard rest securely on the edge of the provided
area.
• The wheelchair is not allowed to shift in case
of an accident.
• Close the wheel lock.
• During the drive leave the wheelchair and seat
yourself in the provided seat next to the spot
for your wheelchair.
• If available, use the seat belt!
Let someone help you get in and out of the public
transportation,
• so that you don't get stuck in the crack be-
tween the door and the sidewalk,
• so that you don't panic,
• so that your claim for the marked seat possi-
bly gets more emphasis,
• so that you can be helped getting into the
seat and tying down the wheelchair.

2.8.2 Transport in other vehicles

Wheelchairs can never reach the stabile features of a
firmly mounted car seat because of their purpose and
light build.
ATTENTION
Thus, we recommend you to NOT use the
wheelchair as a seat while transporting in a
vehicle.
READ
Read our info-brochure "Crash Test ISO 7176-19".
Here, the potential dangers and regulations of the
ISO 7176-19 are described.
ATTENTION
Only wheelchairs that have successfully passed a
dynamic crash test according to ISO 7176-19 are
allowed to be used as a seat in a vehicle.
Our successfully tested wheelchairs are provided with
this international symbol on the type sign
and are additionally marked on our order form with
our "crash test button".

If necessary, inform
yourself by your

sorgrollstuhltechnik.de, if
your model is approved as
a seat in a vehicle.
