!WARNING

This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing mode with the specified crash test dummy restrained by BOTH pelvic and shoulder belt(s), and that BOTH pelvic and upper torso belt(s) should be used to re- duce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components.

Use ONLY wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint systems during travel in a Motor Ve- hicle, (WTORS), which meet the requirements of SAE J2249 recommended practice.

This wheelchair MUST be in a forward facing position during travel in a Motor Vehicle.

This wheelchair is NOT equipped, and has NOT been dynamically tested to rely on WHEEL- CHAIR-ANCHORED pelvic and/or upper torso restraint(s).

To reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-mounted accesso- ries, including but not limited to IV poles, trays, respiratory equipment, backpacks, and other personal items should be removed and secured separately.

Postural supports, positioning devices, and/ or strap(s) should not be relied on for occu- pant restraint. Wheelchairs with adjustable seat angles MUST be set between 0 and 15 degrees. Wheelchairs with reclining backs MUST be set and locked in an upright posi- tion during travel in a Motor Vehicle.

DO NOT alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts, components, or seating systems.
