G. SEATING SYSTEM

WARNING

This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor

vehicle with the factory installed seating system only.

Ensure that the factory installed seating system is

secured to the wheelchair frame before operation.

Refer to the seating system owner’s manual.

H. POSITIONING BELTS

WARNING

The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred

zone of 45 to 75 degrees to the horizontal or within the

optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to the horizontal.

Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the

elvic belt is intended to be used for postural support in addition to

occupant restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the

tendency for a vertical gap to develop between the user and the

belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt movement, there-

by reducing the tendency for the user to slip under the belt and for

the belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during normal use.

Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency for upper-torso belts to

pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during frontal impact loading.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to the figure below.

1. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the

pelvis.

2. Position the upper-torso belt(s) over the shoulders.

3. The belt(s) should not be held away from the body by wheel-

chair components or parts, including but not limited to

wheelchair armrests or wheels.

4. Ensure the belt(s) are not twisted.

5. Adjust belts as firmly as possible, being mindful of user comfort.

NOTE: Rear view of the wheelchair and human surrogate secured on test

platform and tilted to 45°.
