Before installing and using the kits

• 

Ensure that the wheelchair is correctly maintained and that the settings of any adjustable 

parts are made according to ‘Instructions for Use in Transport’. 

• 

Whenever possible remove any items of luggage etc that may be attached to the wheelchair 

and secure or store separately during transport in order to reduce the potential for injury to 

other passengers travelling in the vehicle. 

• 

Extra care must be exercised when using vehicle boarding aids such as passenger lifts or 

ramps during the loading process. Refer to ‘Instructions For Use’ for information on safe 

slopes. 

• 

Position the wheelchair facing forward - centrally in the designated region of the vehicle.

 

Ensure the wheelchair brakes are applied. 

• 

To minimise the potential for head injuries in an impact, allow a clear space of at least 

400mm behind and 650mm, (FCZ, front clear zone), in front of the head of the wheelchair 

user, (Fig A). The shoulder belt anchorage must be roof or side-wall anchored at a height 

level such that the belt webbing passes over the midpoint of the occupant shoulder and 

at a height that is at or just above the level of the occupants shoulders so as not to impose 

downward loads on the spine. 

• 

A height provision (HHT) ranging from 1000mm to 1550mm should be made, depending 

on the size of the passenger. There should also be 200mm of clear space either side of 

the wheelchair centre line. If these clear space dimensions cannot be provided then 

any structure protruding into this space should be adequately padded and comply with 

impact performance requirements of ECE Regulation 21 ‘FMVSS 201’. All vehicle padding 

should comply with the flammability requirements of ECE Regulation 118 ‘FMVSS 302’.

Note: seated head 

height (HHT) ranges 

from as low as 

1000mm for a 6-year-

old child to 1550mm 

for a tall adult.
