The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing
orientation with the ATD restrained by both pelvic and shoulder
belts (e.g. shoulder belt as part of a three-point belt restraint).
Both pelvic- and shoulder-belt restraints should be used to
reduce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle
components.
When possible, other auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be
either secured to the wheelchair or removed from the wheel-
chair and secured in the vehicle during travel, so that it does not
break fee and cause injury to vehicle occupants in the event of
a collision.
Alterations or substitutions should not be made to the wheel-
chair securement points or to structural end frame parts or com-
ponents without consulting the wheelchair manufacturer.
Spill-proof sealed batteries, such as "gelled electrolyte" should
be installed on powered wheelchairs when used in a motor
vehicle.
Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to
position the seat belt buckle so that the release button will not
be contracted by wheelchair components during a crash.
Belt restraints must not be held away from the body by wheel-
chair components such as armrests or wheels.
