SEATING SYSTEM
WARNING
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor vehicle with the factory
installed seating system ONLY.
POSITIONING BELTS (FIGURE 4)
WARNING
The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred zone of 45 to 75
degrees to the horizontal OR within the optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to
the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are
especially important if the pelvic belt is
intended to be used for postural support in
addition to occupant restraint in a frontal
crash. Steeper angles will reduce the ten-
dency for a vertical gap to develop between
the user and the belt due to compliance of
seat cushions and belt movement, thereby
reducing the tendency for the user to slip
under the belt and for the belt to ride up on
the soft abdomen during normal use.
Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency
for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during frontal
impact loading.
