LIBERTY Volkswagen Routan Owner’s Manual


Securement of Wheelchair in Vehicle

2.3 Occupant Restraint System

1. The supplied Sure-Lok occupant restraint system is made up of three parts. Like most vehicles, the restraint system has a lap belt, a belt buckle, and a shoulder belt. The system should only be used on the vehicle it was supplied and only as a complete unit. The system is not deemed safe for use if any one or more parts are not available or not used correctly.

2. The lap belt and buckle portions of the restraint attach to the outer shell of the rear retractors via the protruding stud. Attach each section to the retractor as illustrated in the adjacent image

3. The lap belt section attaches to the driver side rear retractor and the buckle section attaches to the passenger side rear retractor.

4. Pass the buckle end and the lap belt end through the left and right sides of the wheelchair where they will be able to be positioned as low as possible across the pelvis of the occupant.

5. Attach the shoulder belt buckle to the latch plate at the rear roofline of the vehicle and on the pin connection of the lap belt latch plate.

6. Once all the connections have been made, the lap belt may be fastened to the buckle to restrain the occupant. Adjust the belts to secure the occupant but take caution not to over-tighten and cause discomfort to the occupant.
