WARNING
The 3 or 4-point belts integrated into the wheelchair should not
be used as personal restraints in a moving vehicle. Instead, an
approved seatbelt system anchored into the vehicle should be
used to safeguard the passenger.
DANGER
The belt straps should have full contact
with the shoulder, chest and pelvis. The
belts should sit low on the lap, close to the
connection between the upper thigh and
lower abdomen.
