Vehicles with lifting platforms / buses

Move your wheelchair onto the lowered lifting platform in drive mode.

Switch to park mode.

Raise the lifting platform and wait until it reaches the top.

Hold on to the railing and switch back to drive mode. By holding on to the railing, you can reduce involuntary movements when you activate drive mode.

Use drive mode to move carefully to the correct location inside the vehicle as instructed by the driver. Make sure there is enough free space for the restraints at the front and back of the wheelchair.

Switch to park mode.

Activate the car passenger mode by selecting the car passenger mode icon on the control panel Figure 31, “All available icons and indicators”).

Once the transition has been completed, you can still fine-tune your position within the vehicle by moving the joystick.

When the intended transport position is reached, change to the recommended car passenger position by selecting the park mode symbol on the control panel.

Move the joystick to complete the transition to the recommended car passenger position. Once you are in the recommended car passenger position, the park mode icon, the car passenger mode icon and the LED ring will light up in green (see (b) Car passenger position – recommended position [93] ). See also Car Passenger Positions.

Have a trained person attach the approved restraint belts to (approved for the wheelchair weight incl. occupant) to the wheelchair’s securement points. Figure 72, “Securing the wheelchair as a passenger seat in the vehicle” shows how the restraint belts are to be attached correctly.

Use the vehicle’s personal restraint systems to prevent yourself from being ejected from it. Never use the wheelchair’s integrated pelvic belt for this purpose

Remove all loose objects and accessories from the wheelchair that could be sent flying through the vehicle if the driver decelerates rapidly. In particular, remove your smartphone from the Scewo holder and stow it in a safe place.
