13.2 Transportation of the wheelchair and use as a vehicle seat
Please note
In order to use a wheelchair as a motor vehicle seat, it needs to be equipped with attachment
points to enable anchoring in the motor vehicle. These accessories are not included in the
standard scope of wheelchair order and delivery, but can be obtained from Invacare as an option.
This electric wheelchair complies with the requirements of ISO 7176/19-2001 and may be used as
a vehicle seat in connection with an anchoring system that has been checked and approved in
accordance with ISO 10542. The wheelchair has undergone a crash test in which it was anchored
in the transporting vehicle's direction of travel. Other configurations were not tested. The crash test
dummy was secured using pelvic and upper body seatbelts. Both types of seatbelt should be used
in order to minimise the risk of injuries to head or upper body. It is imperative that the wheelchair is
inspected by an authorised dealer before being used again after being involved in a crash.
Alterations to the wheelchair anchoring points may not be carried out without the manufacturer's
permission.
