Vehicle transportation

This chapter describes how you transport your wheelchair in a vehicle. The
wheelchair must only be transported in wheelchair accessible vehicles.
4.5.1 Securing the wheelchair in a vehicle
This chapter describes how you secure the wheelchair in a vehicle. You must
either secure the wheelchair at its tie-down points or use a docking system
that complies with ISO 10542–1:2012, which is an international standard that
governs wheelchair tie-downs and occupant-restraint systems.
Remove loose objects, trays, and other auxiliary equipment from your
wheelchair and store them safely before you transport your wheelchair in a
motor vehicle. If you transport a wheelchair in a motor vehicle with loose
objects, trays, or other auxiliary equipment the vehicle's occupants could
suffer bodily injury.
This is how you secure the wheelchair at its four tie-down points. Make sure
that the wheelchair is properly secured and that the wheelchair is not in
freewheel mode. Secure the wheelchair with straps at the tie-down points at
the front and rear. The tie-down points are marked with yellow labels ( ).
