7.1 Transport of the wheelchair in a car
Getting in and out of the vehicle
DANGER!
• Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to transport a
passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure the method of access/
egress is suitable for your wheelchair type. The vehicle
should have the floor strength to take the combined weight
of the occupant, the wheelchair and accessories.
• Use a ramp (or lifting device) suitable for the entire weight of
the wheelchair (including user) for entering the vehicle.
• The wheelchair should be secured in a forward facing
direction. This wheelchair is approved for use in cars and
meets the requirements for forward facing transport and
head on collisions. The wheelchair has not been tested for
other positions in a vehicle (Fig. 7.1).
CAUTION!
• Sufficient space should be available around the wheelchair
to enable clear access to attach, tighten and release the
wheelchair and occupant tie down restraints and safety belts.
• Ease of access to, and manoeuvrability in, motor vehicles
can be significantly affected by wheelchair size and turning
radius; smaller wheelchairs and/ or wheelchairs with a shorter
turning radius will generally provide greater ease of vehicle
access and manoeuvrability to a forward-facing position.
