12.2Using the wheelchair as a vehicle seat
Please note
In order to use a wheelchair as a motor vehicle seat, it needs to be equipped with special accessories (attachment points) to enable anchoring in the motor vehicle. These accessories are not included in the standard scope of wheelchair delivery, but can, however, be obtained from Invacare.
This electric wheelchair complies with the requirements of ISO 7176/19-2001 and may be used as a vehicle seat in connection with an anchoring system that has been checked and approved in accordance with ISO 10542 (for example Unwin® or equivalent). The wheelchair has undergone a crash test in which it was anchored in the transporting vehicle's direction of travel. Other configurations were not tested. The crash test dummy was secured using pelvic and upper body seatbelts. Both types of seatbelt should be used in order to minimise the risk of injuries to head or upper body. It is imperative that the wheelchair is inspected by an authorised dealer before being used again after being involved in a crash. Alterations to the wheelchair anchoring points may not be carried out without the manufacturer's permission.
