General
Features
Autoturn is specially developed for use with car seats to
make it easy to enter and exit a vehicle.
The two nylon sides facing each other reduce friction dur-
ing turning.
The down part of the Autoturn pillow has a non-slip sur-
face, to ensure that the device rests firmly on the car seat.
Autoturn is fastened to the seat back.
Autoturn features a functional handle which a carer can
use to pull the client into place on the car seat.

Use
Positioning
Position the Autoturn centrally on the car seat.
Fit the straps, fasten and tighten securely at seat back.
Fit the functional locking system (next to the functional
handle) to the safety belt. When the client turns in the
seat, the belt will automatically glide slightly forward.
The safety belt can be secured on the opposite side using
the functional locking system (Illustration 4).
Use
The client seats him/herself on the centre of the Autoturn.
The client then raises either both legs simultaneously or one
leg at a time inside the vehicle, thus turning the body inside
the car (Autoturn is also perfect for turning the client inside
the vehicle) (Illustrations 1,2 and 3). This avoids unneces-
sary strain on the body. The carer can pull on the functional
handle to help the client glide into place.
To exit the car, the client swings the legs out of the vehicle,
preferably in stages, before raising him/herself to the stand-
ing position.

Remember to use the client's resources.
For optimal turning effect, make sure that the client is
seated in the middle of Autoturn.
Never leave an Autoturn on the floor.
To ensure that the client feels safe and that every manual
handling is smooth, always plan the manual handling in
advance.
If in any doubt - please contact Etac.
