· All occupied wheelchairs MUST be
facing forward to be properly secured.
· Stowable seats must be properly
secured, latched, and locked before
occupying seats or operating vehicle.
· Your vehicle has been fitted with a
manual wheelchair-strap restraint
system. You have been provided one
set of four wheelchair restraint straps
and one lap/shoulder belt extension
strap. Though these restraints are
widely used within our industry, they
DO NOT guarantee successful and safe
securement of wheelchairs or scooters.
· DO NOT sit in a scooter while the
vehicle is in motion. If you plan to
occupy a wheelchair while the vehicle
is in motion, VMI cannot guarantee the
restraint system will adequately restrain
the occupant and/or wheelchair if an
accident occurs at any speed. VMI
relies solely on the warranties and
representations made by the restraint
belt set and wheelchair manufacturers.
· Your vehicle’s fuel system has been
modified by VMI. Although the
possibility of experiencing problems
with the modified fuel system is
unlikely, it is important that you be
aware that these modifications were
performed. If you experience any fuel
system problems, contact your VMI
dealer or Toyota dealer immediately
and discontinue the use of your vehicle
until the issue is resolved.
· Your new vehicle may be equipped
with special driving controls installed
by your mobility dealer to meet your
individual driving needs. These may
include hand controls, power assist
brake and accelerator systems, and
reduced effort steering and braking
systems. Before driving your vehicle,
you should obtain professional driver
training on the proper use of these
controls to understand how these
modifications may affect the handling
of your vehicle.
· Before exiting the vehicle, the
wheelchair occupant MUST check to
make sure the door is open and the
ramp is fully deployed to the ground.
· The wheelchair occupant may require
assistance entering and exiting the
vehicle, depending on the abilities of
the person and the type of wheelchair
system (motorized, presence of rear
wheels, etc.) or scooter.
· Restraints should not be held away
from the body by any obstacles such
as wheelchair armrests. Ensure nothing
is between the restraints and the
occupant.
· Please adhere to all securement related
instructions in this manual and the
instructions in the restraint kit box
before operating the vehicle. Improper
use may result in, and may not be
limited to, the occupant sliding under
the restraints causing severe injury.
