4.5.2 Using the wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle
Permobil recommends that you transfer to a vehicle seat and that you use the
vehicle's restraint systems. The unoccupied wheelchair should be stored in a
cargo area or secured in the vehicle during travel. Follow the instructions
below if you want to use the wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle.
WARNING! Positioning aids do not replace seatbelts
WARNING! Vehicle seating requirements
You must use both pelvic-belt restraints and shoulder-belt restraints. Make
sure that the belt restraints are as tight as possible, without becoming
uncomfortable, and that they are not twisted. They must be close to your
body and not held away by parts of the wheelchair. Adjust your restraint
system such that the release mechanisms cannot be pressed during a crash.
