Travel onboard a motor vehicle
•
When a transfer is possible, a wheelchair occupant should always use the
vehicle’s seat and safety belt. The unoccupied wheelchair should then be
placed inside the vehicle’s cargo compartment or secured inside the vehicle
for the duration of travel.
•
When adapted transport is required, the motor vehicle must be equipped
with a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint systems which meet the
ISO/DIS 7176-19:2019 standard.
•
Physipro Inc. wheelchairs were dynamically tested in a forward-facing
position with the occupant restrained with a pelvic belt and a shoulder belt.
Both the pelvic belt and shoulder belt must be used to reduce the risk of
head or chest injuries that may be sustained by impact with components of
the vehicle.
•
Please note that the size of the wheelchair may reduce manoeuvrability and
accessibility inside a motor vehicle and that a smaller turning diameter
facilitates access and mobility inside the vehicle when placed in a forward-
facing position.
Wheelchair modifications:
•
Never remove the tie-down securement points that are used to secure the
wheelchair in a motor vehicle. If the securement points are removed, they
may not be reinstalled correctly, and the wheelchair will no longer meet the
requirements of ISO/DIS 7176-19:2019.
•
Never modify or substitute the wheelchair’s tie-down securement points or
any of the structural parts and components of the wheelchair, including the
frame, without prior authorization by Physipro Inc.
