Wheelchair users, their caregivers and family are advised to check
vehicle specifications to ensure that sufficient floor space is available
to accommodate the wheelchair and tie-down system. These
distances are based upon the desire to maintain clear zones for
potential head excursions of occupants provided with both upper and
lower torso restraints.
•
Users of heavy powered wheelchairs are also advised to check vehicle
carrying capacity. If in doubt consult the vehicle supplier for further
details.
•
Any airbag, as fitted to the vehicle, shall be used only as a
supplementary occupant restraint if designed to be used in
combination with the WTORS.
•
Installers of this occupant restraint system should take note of any
vehicle airbag position when planning the installation. Airbags
can cause serious injury if a wheelchair-seated occupant is seated
too close to an airbag position. If in doubt contact the vehicle
manufacturer or your National Automotive Regulatory Body for
advice.
