PASSENGER COMPARTMENT -
SPECIAL FACILITIES
Locate the wheel chair retention strap onto the
two eyebolts in the rear division trim. These are
positioned either side of the wheel chair position
at floor level (A). Ensure tensioning device is
nearest the door.
Use the ramp tool provided to undo the flat
headed screw (B) securing the integral ramp to
the passenger compartment floor.
Locate the ramp tool over the door check strap
(C) to prevent the door from closing due to
inadvertent external pressure on the door while
loading the wheelchair.
Pull the edge of the ramp upwards and out from
the vehicle (D) and lay the edge on the kerb,
taking care not to raise the edge of the ramp too
high to avoid damage to the door trim.
WARNING: The integral ramp must be
used in conjunction with the ramp
extension (E) when the kerb height is
below 125 mm (5 in.). Position the extension
as shown in the illustration, approximately
660 mm (26 in.) from and parallel with the
door sill, before opening out the integral
ramp.
Engage the locking edge (F) of the integral
ramp into the ramp extension before
checking the security of the assembly.
The wheel-chair passenger may now be loaded
- take care to check the wheel-chair track is well
within the edges of the ramp during the loading
process.
WARNING: always carefully push the
wheel-chair up into the vehicle,
passenger first - never pull the wheel-
chair up into position. Never allow a powered
wheel-chair to be driven into the vehicle
unsupervised.
Push the wheel-chair right across the vehicle
and apply wheelchair brake. Disengage the
locking edge of the ramp extension (where
used). Slightly lift the hinge of the integral ramp
before folding it into position in the passenger
compartment floor. Stow the ramp extension in
the boot or luggage compartment.
