Positioning the Wheelchair in the Vehicle

WARNING

This wheelchair must be in a forward facing position during travel in a motor vehicle.

The recommended clear zones for wheelchair seated occupants restrained by both pelvic and upper torso belt(s) and only by a pelvic belt are shown in the diagrams and described below.

Frontal Clear Zones (FCZ) need to be larger when upper torso belt(s) are not used.

The rear clear zone of 16-inches is measured from the rearmost point on an occupant’s head.

The frontal clear zone is measured from the frontmost point on an occupant’s head and is 26-inches with pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) and 37-inches with only a pelvic belt.

The frontal clear zone may not be achievable for wheelchair-seated drivers.

The estimated seated height (HHT) from the ground or floor to the top of the wheelchair-seated occupant’s head ranges from approximately 47-inches for a small adult female to about 61-inches for a tall adult male.
