both outdoors and indoors. The seat is adjustable in height, angle and depth. The backrest is adjustable in height, angle and shape. The footrests are adjustable in height, angle and depth.
Cross can be supplemented and adjusted if needs change. A large range of options and accessories
are available: Various types of backrest and legrest, fixing points for transport in mobility service buses,
anti-tips, and various types of handrims and brakes etc.
Cross has the best prerequisites to create comfort, functionality and good manoeuvrability.
Crash test
Etac’s wheelchairs are tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 and ISO 10542. These ISO standards
specify requirements for the design of the wheelchair’s restraint points, how the wheelchair and the
user are secured in the vehicle, and also describe how tests should be carried out and how the test
results should be interpreted. Etac’s wheelchairs are crash tested at the Technical Research Institute
of Sweden. The tests were carried out with normal settings on the wheelchairs (see manual for the
respective wheelchair) and with an UNWIN_WWR/ATF/K/R restraining device and an UNWIN_WWR/
HD/ATF/K/R 3-point belt.
The cross-folded wheelchairs Cross, Twin and Transit were supplemented with securing points.

Etac recommends in the following
order:
1) The user transfers to a seat in
the vehicle and uses the vehicle’s
3-point belt while travelling. The
wheelchair is then placed in the
boot or safely in the back seat so
that it cannot overturn or roll.
2) The wheelchair is secured
facing forwards in the vehicle as
per this manual, the user uses
a separate 3-point belt that is
secured in the vehicle. This is the
way in which the wheelchair is
tested and approved according to
the ISO-standard for crash testing
of wheelchairs in vehicles.
3) According to directive 2001/85/
EC,
appendix VII, point 3.8.3. there
are specially marked wheelchair
locations in vehicles that permit
transport with a wheelchair facing
in the opposite direction of travel.
If this means of travel is used, the
user/carer must be aware while
travelling, prepared for sudden
movements and have the capacity
to maintain a safe sitting position
throughout the entire journey. The
user’s disabilities must not be of
such an extent that he/she is not
able to hold onto the handles fitted in the vehicle when there are
changes of speed or direction.
In conjunction with points 2 and 3:
- a positioning belt should be used
- a correctly adjusted headrest
should be used
- the backrest should be level with
or above the user’s shoulders
- the parking brake should be used
- the anti-tips should be lowered
- Options/accessories that can be
removed without tools, such
as trays, must be removed and
secured so that they do not fly
around inside the vehicle in the
event of a collision.
- If the wheelchair has been involved in a collision in a motor
vehicle, it should be inspected
at a Technical Aids Centre or by
Etac before being used again.
