InfORMATIOn
Please read the instructions for use first! Before using the product, you should become familiar with
the handling, function and use of the product. You may compromise your safety if you do not observe
these instructions.
However, it is impossible to protect against and avoid all unforeseeable circumstances and situations.
WARnInG
Risk of injury as a result of unauthorised use in vehicles for transporting persons with reduced
mobility. We recommend that, wherever and whenever possible, users of a wheelchair, mobility base
with seating shell or buggy transfer to the seats installed in vehicles for transporting persons with re-
duced mobility and use the corresponding vehicle restraint systems, as this is the only way to ensure
optimal protection of the passengers in case of an accident. The Avantgarde wheelchair for active
use is permissible for transporting passengers in wheelchair accessible vehicles when using Ottobock
safety components as well as appropriate restraint systems.
For more information, please refer to our instructions for use manual "Using your product for transpor-
tation in wheelchair accessible vehicles", order no. 646D158.

nel who fitted the product or the manufacturer's servicing department (see inside rear cover or back
