WARNING
Modifications to the original Toyota Sienna by VMI and by any subsequent
mobility dealer have reduced and limited the load capacity of the original
vehicle. The total weight of passengers and cargo should never exceed the
load capacity posted on the driver side door jamb. Overloading of the vehicle
may negatively impact handling and could result in vehicle damage or failure
while in use. It may not only cause damage to the tires, but also degrade
steering and braking ability, resulting in an accident.
In addition, a VMI dealer or other
adaptive equipment supplier may have
added or installed adaptive equipment
or other equipment to the vehicle. The
primary user of the vehicle will likely
use a mobility device (wheelchair or
scooter). The weight of all this additional
equipment and the mobility device
must be included when calculating the
combined load of cargo and passengers.
VEHICLE LOAd CAPACItY
SAFETY WARNING: Loading of
passengers and cargo should never
exceed vehicle limits.
It is important that any operator of the
VMI Toyota Sienna conversion vehicle
understands that the installation of
adaptive equipment has necessarily
added weight to the original Toyota
vehicle, thereby reducing the load
carrying capacity of the original vehicle.
While the vehicle, as manufactured by
VMI, meets all applicable Federal Safety
Standards concerning vehicle loading,
it is important that the load carrying
capacity never be exceeded.
Owners and Operators should carefully
monitor their loading of passengers and
cargo (defined to include any and all
additional weight, added to the vehicle)
to ensure that the capacity of the vehicle
is never exceeded.
The load carrying capacity of this
modified vehicle is found on the Tire and
Loading Information Label located on the
driver side front door jamb. It is important
that you know the capacity of your
vehicle and that you and any operator
of your vehicle monitor the loading of
passengers and cargo to ensure that
the weight capacity of the vehicle is
not exceeded. Damage to the vehicle
or vehicle systems from overloading
may lead to catastrophic failure, either
immediately or in the future, if this vehicle
is operated in an overloaded condition.
