Transporting the wheelchair

The wheelchair may be transported only in a vehicle that is approved for
this purpose. The vehicle must be suitably designed, insured and equipped
to transport a person in a wheelchair. No matter how securely it is fastened
in the vehicle, a wheelchair is not designed to be a car seat and cannot
offer the same degree of safety as is offered by standard car seats.
Before the transportation, confirm that the wheelchair is properly secured
and that both wheel locks are engaged. Secure the wheelchair to the
vehicle only at the tie-down points, both front and rear (marked with yellow
stickers). Follow the manufacturer's instructions provided with the fastening
straps. Instead of using fastening straps, the wheelchair may be secured
with a locking system that is approved by Permobil. For alternative vehicle
securement options, please consult your dealer.
