Fastening the seat belt
Warning!
Use the three-point seat belt in order to
reduce the risk of head and chest injuries
in the event of the wheelchair colliding with
parts of the car.
Care should be taken when applying the
occupant restraint.
Use the seat belt as follows:
•
Position the belt across the hips as tightly
as possible at an angle between 30° and
75°. Within these limits a steeper angle
is desirable. The other part of the belt
is positioned to sit across the chest and
shoulder (fi gure 15).
•
The seat belt should fi t as tightly as possible
and must not be twisted.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is not obstructed
from having contact with the body by
wheelchair parts, such as armrests or
wheels (fi gure 16).
In order to prevent injury in the event of a
collision, secure wheelchair accessories to the
wheelchair or remove them from the chair and
secure them in the vehicle.
