Seat Functions - Permobil M Corpus VS User Manual

When you drive over an obstacle, always directly face it. You can drive over
obstacles up to 65 mm (2.5"). If you drive over higher obstacles, there is a
greater risk of tipping and of damage to the wheelchair. If a car lock is
installed on the wheelchair, it affects the ground clearance.
When you drive downhill, additional precautions must be taken. Select the
lowest maximum speed and proceed with caution. Driving down a slope can
shift your center of gravity forward. Release the joystick if the wheelchair rolls
faster than you would like. This makes the wheelchair stop, and you can
descend again more slowly. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Note that the
distance required to stop will increase when you drive downhill.
Drive the wheelchair straight up slopes whenever possible.
