Driving rules
Driving downhill
You should always drive downhill at low speed and with great caution.
Avoid braking suddenly and sudden evasive maneuvers and never drive so fast
that you are unable to control the wheelchair safely without risks.
You should be extremely careful when driving downhill on an uneven sur-
face (for example grass, gravel, sand, ice and snow).

Raising the seat lift raises the center of gravity and increases the risk of tipping. For this reason
use the seat lift only on a level surface.
