Pelvic Belt
The pelvic belt must be fastened around your lap every time you use the wheelchair. This prevents you from falling out of the wheelchair, for example in the event of a collision. Fasten the pelvic belt as tightly as possible over your lap. A second belt can be worn over your shoulder to provide additional support.
The pelvic belt or other aids are not a replacement for the three-point safety belt
The wheelchair positioning belts and aids are intended to position the user in the wheelchair so that it can be used safely. Wheelchair positioning belts and aids do not provide protection in the event of a traffic accident and cannot replace the seat belt installed in the vehicle.
Therefore, always use the restraint systems provided by the vehicle, preferably a three-point seat belt. The pelvic belt integrated into the wheelchair is not approved or designed for use in a vehicle and can break in the event of an accident! This is additionally highlighted by the inscription on the integrated belt, see Figure 6, “Do not use integrated pelvic belt in vehicles”.
Always use the pelvic belt while in drive mode
Not using the pelvic belt or not using it correctly when you are in drive mode could result in serious injuries should the wheelchair go into an emergency shutdown. You could fall out of the wheelchair.
