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. 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 wheelchairseated 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 (119 cm) for a small adult female to about 61 inches (155 cm) for a tall adult male. 60101876-C 43

-
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.
