General occupant restraint Instructions
DANGER!
• Use a 3-point occupant restraint system to secure the occupant.
• Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to restrain
the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and chest impacts
with the vehicle components.
• Any wheelchair-anchored occupant restraint, i.e. 3-point belt, harness
or posture supports (hip straps, lap belts) shall not be used or relied
upon for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle, regardless of whether
it is marked ISO 7176-19, ISO 10542-1, SAE J2249 or others. Use a
vehicle anchored and certified passenger safety system instead.
• Use a suitable positioned headrest when being transported in a
wheelchair.
• Wheelchair anchored postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should
not be used or relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle.
• Occupant restraints should make full contact with the shoulder,
chest and pelvis and pelvic belts should be positioned low on the
pelvis near the thigh-abdominal junction (meeting the requirements
specified in ISO 7176-19:2008).
• The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the midpoint of shoulder
and across the chest as illustrated
• Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible consistent
with user comfort.
• Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.
• Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to posi -
tion the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be con -
tacted by wheelchair components while driving or during a crash.
• Belt restraints must not be held away from the body by wheelchair
components such as armrests or wheels.
