Avanti occupants must transfer to a vehicle seat during a road or any other journey, 
with the chair securely stored separately in a purpose made storage area, available 
at the end of the journey for onward transfers. 
The folded Avanti weighs less than 8Kg, so it is convenient for lifting. The folded 
chair should be stowed safely in a position where it cannot become detached or 
damaged during a journey. Bear in mind that the temperatures reached in a 
hatchback car on a hot day can cause stored wheelchair component parts to 
become too hot to handle. 

When using any chair, both indoors and outside, always take precautions against 
fire risks. Avoid smoking, and do not use a chair near an open fire, or intense heat 
source. The Avanti is not specifically intended to be used as an emergency 
evacuation chair, but it can function in this way. In such applications, users must be 
familiar with the operation of the chair, in addition to the location of suitable fire exits 
and the necessary evacuation procedures.
