If your wheelchair is NOT equipped with the Transit Tiedown System (TTS), the
wheelchair DOES NOT meet ANSI/RESNA and/or ISO standards for motor vehicles
seating and the following warnings should be observed:
1. NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle.
2. ALWAYS secure the wheelchair occupant with proper vehicle restraints. In an
accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair
restraints will not prevent this and further injury may result from the belts and
straps.
3. NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and interfere
with the driver.
4. ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
5. Do not continue to use any wheelchair that has been involved in a motor vehicle
accident.
If your chair is equipped with the Transit Tiedown System (TTS) the below instructions
should be followed when the wheelchair is being used as a seat in a motor vehicle:
1. The wheelchair rider must be in a forward-facing position. The wheelchair has
been dynamically tested in a forward - facing mode for a 48 mph frontal impact
test.
2. The rider and all carried items must not weigh more than the chair’s rated weight
capacity.
3. The wheelchair occupant must use a Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint
Systems (WTORS) that complies with RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 18: Wheelchair
tie-down and occupant restraint systems for use in motor vehicles or ISO 10542-1:
2012, Technical systems and aids for disabled or handicapped persons --
Wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems -- Part 1: Requirements and
test methods for all systems.
4. The Bentley Transit Tiedown System is designed for a four-point (two front, two
rear) strap-type tiedown system (Figure 14.50). Attach the WTORS in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 18 or ISO
10542-1:2012- Part 1.
5. Postural supports (i.e. lap belts, chest straps, shoulder harnesses etc.) and
positioning devices and accessories (i.e. headrests, lateral supports etc.) should
not be used, or relied on for occupant restraint.
