Transportation In Motor Vehicles
The instructions on how to prepare the seat and chair, must be carried out
before transportation.
The user should transfer to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed
restraint system whenever possible, and the unoccupied wheelchair should be
stored in a cargo area or secured in the vehicle during travel.
The wheelchair/product must be placed in a forward-facing position, when used
as a seat in a motor vehicle.
The front wheels need to be turned under the frame so as to be in line with
the frame before fixation.
Use an approved 4-point strap-type tie-down system according to ISO 10542-1 or
ISO 7176- 19, to secure the product. Use either a hook or a strap in the
fitting. See figure 1.
The location of all wheelchair securement points are marked with a label. See figure 2. It is only allowed to use the marked securement points.
The pelvic restraint should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, so that the angle of the pelvic restraint is within the preferred zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal, similar to that shown in figure 3. A steeper (greater) pelvic belt angle between 45°to 75° to the horizontal is preferred.
The back must be placed in vertical position and the seat plane must be
horizontal.
Use an approved 3-point belt according to ISO 10542-1 in the product. The belt
restraints should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent with user
comfort. Further the belt webbing should not be twisted when in use.
Belt restraints should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components
or parts, such as the wheelchair armrests or wheels. See figure 5.
Shoulder belt restraints should fit over the shoulders, similar to the illustration provided in figure 6.

The wheelchair’s size and turning radius will affect its ease of access to and
maneuverability in motor vehicles.
Small wheelchairs and/or wheelchairs with a shorter turning radius will
generally provide greater ease of access and maneuverability.

Compatible securements:
The wheelchair’s securement points comply with the requirements of ISO
7176-19:2022 Annex B, subclause B2 Geometric specifications.

specification can be used for securement of the wheelchair during
transportation.
Warnings
The product is approved according to ISO 7176-19:2022, furthermore the product
complies with ISO 16840-4:2009 if the product is a seat. If the product is a
seating system it may only be used as a seat in a motor vehicle together with
an approved wheelchair base/frame which has been tested according to ISO
7176-19.
The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward facing orientation
with the anthropomorphic test device restrained by both pelvic and shoulder
belts (e.g. a shoulder belt as part of a three-point belt restraint).
Pelvic and shoulder belt restraints shall be used to reduce the possibility of
head and chest impacts with vehicle components.
Loose parts and trays must be removed from the wheelchair and secured
separately in the vehicle. Other auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be
either secured to the wheelchair or removed from the wheelchair and secured in
the vehicle during travel, so that it does not break free and cause injury to
vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
The product should be inspected by the dealer before reuse following
involvement in any type of vehicle collision. Alterations or substitutions
should not be made to the wheelchair securement points or to structural and
frame parts or components without consulting the wheelchair manufacturer. The
approval is not valid on ‘custom made’ chairs.
Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to position the
seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair
components during a crash.
Postural supports should not be relied on for occupant restraint in a moving
vehicle, unless they are labelled as being in accordance with the requirements
specified in ISO 7176-19:2022 or ISO 16840-4:2009. The product shall only be
used as indicated in the instructions for use.
The product is not approved for users below a user mass of 22 kg.
