TiLite recommends that wheelchair users not be transported in vehicles of any kind while in
wheelchairs. As of this date, the United States Department of Transportation has not approved
any tie-down system for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair in a moving vehicle of
any type.
It is TiLite’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate vehicle
seating for transportation and should use the restraints made available by the auto industry. TiLite
cannot, and does not, recommend any wheelchair transporting systems.

It is the obligation of your dealer and the health care professionals who are advising you to
determine if you require a seating restraint or positioning system in order to ensure that you can
safely operate your wheelchair. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a wheelchair.
