4.6.2
Using the wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle
Permobil recommends that, whenever feasible, you transfer to a vehicle seat
and that you use the vehicle's restraint systems. The unoccupied wheelchair
should be stored in a cargo area or secured in the vehicle during travel. Follow
the instructions below if you want to use the wheelchair as a seat in a vehicle.
WARNING! Positioning aids do not replace seatbelts
WARNING! Vehicle seating requirements
The wheelchair should be forward-facing when you use it as a seat in a
vehicle. Permobil has no manufacturer-designated wheelchair-mounted belt
restraints. Use the vehicle's restraint systems.
You must use both pelvic-belt restraints and shoulder-belt restraints. Pelvic
and shoulder-belt restraints should be used together as designed.
Make sure that the belt restraints are as tight as possible, without becoming
uncomfortable, and that they are not twisted. They must be close to your body
and not held away by parts of the wheelchair. Adjust your restraint system
such that the release mechanisms cannot be pressed during a crash.
