This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing mode with the specified crash test dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of over 300 lbs (136 kg) restrained by Both pelvic and shoulder belts in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19. Both pelvic and upper torso belts should be used to reduce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components. 8.5 Positioning the Wheelchair in the Vehicle WARNING! Risk of Injury - 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. WARNING! Risk of Injury - Vehicle interior components that cannot be removed from the clear zones or that are near the wheelchair occupant may contact the wheelchair occupant's head during side-impact collision or vehicle rollover. These components should be padded with material that complies with FMVSS201. 60101877-B Transport The rear clear zone of 20 inches (500 mm) 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 (66 cm) with pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) and 37 inches (94 cm) with ONLY a pelvic belt. The frontal clear zone may not be achievable for wheelchair-seated drivers.
