Motor Vehicle and Transit Use
WARNING
– Never use this wheelchair as a seat in a motor or
transit vehicle unless it has been equipped with a Transit Tiedown
System (TTS). When feasible and possible, the rider should transfer
to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-manufacturer-installed
restraint systems, and the unoccupied wheelchair should be stored
in a cargo area or secured in the vehicle during travel. Using a
wheelchair not equipped with a TTS as a seat in a motor vehicle
could result in serious injury or death.
To identify if your wheelchair has been manufactured with PDG’s Transit Tiedown
System (TTS), look for the presence of the TTS indicated by 4 white hook symbols next
to each tie down bracket.
The Bentley wheelchair equipped with the Transit Tiedown System (TTS) has been
tested according to, and passed, the
RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 19: Wheelchair used as
seats in motor vehicles and ISO7176-19:2008 Wheelchairs – Part 19: Wheeled mobility
devices for use as seats in motor vehicles.
These parts of RESNA and ISO standards
address and evaluate the seating part of wheelchair-user occupant-protection systems
for wheelchairs that may be used as a seat in motor vehicles as well as create
compatibility with Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS).
Thus, for transportation in a vehicle the wheelchair must be restrained from movement
using an RESNA WC-4:2017, section 18 wheelchair tiedown system (such as Q’straint S5-
6329-11) and the vehicle must be equipped with an RESNA WC-4:2017, section 19
anchor points.
Not all configurations of the Bentley wheelchair are compatible with the Transit
Tiedown Systems (TTS). PDG manages the factory built configurations and does not
offer the Bentley wheelchair except in compatible configurations. If changes are made
to the Bentley wheelchair after it has left the factory, the wheelchair provider or PDG
should be contacted to ensure it is appropriate to continue to use the wheelchair as a
seat in a motor vehicle.
Aftermarket seating may have replaced the original equipment seat and back support
designed and tested as part of the Transit Option. Your wheelchair provider should
inform you if the seating provided with your wheelchair is original equipment or
replacement aftermarket seating. A complete system of wheelchair frame, seating,
Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS) and a properly
equipped motor vehicle, that have all complied with the standards mentioned in this
section, should be in place before using a Bentley wheelchair equipped with the Transit
Tiedown System as a seat in a motor vehicle.
