Netti 4U CE PLUS has been crash tested
without any power kit etc. If, at a later point
of time a power kit, stair climber etc. is
mounted, you need to check if your power
assistant device is crash tested and approved
for wheelchairs being used as seat in car. If
not, this must be dismounted – and secured
elsewhere, when the wheelchair is used as a
seat in a vehicle.
SECURING THE USER
Netti 4U CE PLUS has been successfully tested in
a forward facing orientation with both pelvic and
shoulder belts, according to the requirement of
ISO 7176-19 using a combined wheelchair and
occupant restraint system W120/DISR developed by
Unwin Safety Systems. For further information:

BraunAbility Europe
SECURING THE USER – Always use the
occupant restraint belts in the car for the
wheelchair user. The corrective harnesses
used in a wheelchair are not safety belts.
Always use both pelvic and shoulder
restraints to reduce the possibility of head
and chest impact with vehicle components.
Make sure that the 3 point safety belt lays
tightly across the body of the user and not
across arm supports, wheels etc.
Make sure that the seat belt webbing is not
twisted and that the seat belt buckle and its
release button is positioned so that it will not
be contacted by wheelchair components
during crash.
If the head support is mounted correctly it is very
stable but does not replace the need for an external
neck support mounted in the car.
For users taller than 1.85 m, install backrest
extender when the chair is being used as a
seat in a vehicle.
Always use Netti Cushions when the
wheelchair is used as a seat in a vehicle.
Never use the wheelchair as a seat in a car
after it has been in an accident with impact,
before it has been inspected and approved
for this by the manufacturer’s representative.
Never do alterations or substitutions to
wheelchair securement points or structural
and frame parts or components without
consulting the manufacturer.
For more details see UM0131. How to use a
Netti wheelchair as a seat in a car.
Please be aware that wider wheelchairs have
bigger turning radius and reduced
manoeuvrability in vehicles. Smaller
wheelchairs generally provide greater ease
of vehicle access and manoeuvrability to a
forward facing position.
The rating of the wheelchair`s accomodation
of vehicle-anchored belt restrains is
A= good
