Car Passenger Positions

The recommended car passenger position (green, see (b) Car passenger position – recommended position [93]) should be used in the vehicle if possible. If your current seat position does not correspond to the recommended car passenger position, the car passenger mode icon and the LED ring light up in yellow (see (c) Car passenger position [93]) instead of in green to alert you to the increased risk due to the wheelchair’s sub-optimal position..

  • If you are unable to get into the recommended position (e.g. due to obstructions in the vehicle) the transition can be cancelled prematurely by selecting the car passenger mode icon. Always try to get as close as possible to the recommended car passenger position.

  • You can also adjust the seat position as described in Adjusting the Seat Motors Via the Control Panel. As soon as you change the position of the back support, foot support or the seat angle of the wheelchair, the display will change to yellow (adjusted position) instead of green.

Do not change seat settings when belts are fastened

As the vehicle’s belts are fastened underneath the seat, you should not adjust the seat once the belts are already fastened to the BRO and set to restrain it. You may otherwise get stuck and cause damage to the wheelchair or vehicle.
