Dahl VarioDock™

!!

Dahl VarioDock™ has also been tested and approved for anchoring Dahl COMFORT 

Seat with integrated 3-point seat belt, placed on seat row 2 or behind, in a number of 

vehicle models.

Using VarioDock™ for anchoring the Dahl COMFORT Seat with an integrated 3-point 

seat belt requires a particularly strong reinforcement kit for the vehicle floor which is 

designed, tested and approved for the specific vehicle and installation position.

In the event of a collision, the vehicle’s floor will be subjected to a much higher 

torque / load when using a seat with integrated seat anchorage points, than when 

using a wheelchair, where all seat anchorage points are rooted in the vehicle body 

and floor.

Please see the current delivery programme of approved and vehicle-specific anchor-

ing kits in our product catalogue, which can be downloaded from our website

WARNING! 

Risk of death or serious injury

Anchorage of Dahl COMFORT Seat  

with integrated 3-point seat belt

Do not use VarioDock™ to anchor Dahl COMFORT Seats or other seats with integrated seat belt anchor points, if the vehicle has not been fitted with an 

approved reinforcement kit for VarioDock™. 

 

If a reinforcement kit that has been approved for this use has not been fitted, there is a risk that the user and other passengers in the vehicle may 

suffer serious or fatal injuries during a collision as a result of the vehicle floor being deformed severely or the anchoring points of the docking station 

being torn loose.

Therefore, ask your dealer if a VarioDock™ reinforcement kit approved for anchorage of Dahl COMFORT Seat has been 

fitted to the vehicle and mounting position prior to commissioning.

Seat bases for  

original driver’s seats 

In addition to being approved for wheelchair tie-down, Dahl 

VarioDock

TM

 has also been tested and approved for anchoring 

a number of original car manufacturers’ seats. 

 

We offer seat bases with pre-drilled holes that fit a number 

of car manufacturers’ original driver’s seats and their original 

seat heights. These seat bases can be anchored in the Dahl 

VarioDock

TM

 and placed in the vehicle’s 1st seat row, allowing 

the driver and passenger to swap places. 

 

Our seat bases are tested in accordance with ECE Regulations 

14 and 17. 

Do not use the VarioDock

TM

 for anchoring a car 

seat which has not been tested and approved. 

Always make sure that the vehicle floor is 

approved for use of seats with integrated 

3-point seat belt.

WARNING! 

Risk of death or serious injury!
