The TOYOTA Mobility Program Mission: To provide solutions that serve the mobility needs of our customers to enhance one's quality of life.
Toyota
provides factory-installed, as well as other adaptive equipment
solutions that support the mobility needs of Toyota owners.
Toyota
began providing mobility solutions back in 2001 by introducing the
Tundra pick-up truck with a wheelchair lift. Since then Toyota has
continued to expand their vehicle lines that offer mobility assistance
products and partnered with some of the best conversion companies in the
market today. The
culmination of all this has led to the North American, auto
industry-first, factory-installed auto access seat (AAS) that is
available in the Toyota Sienna minivan.
Toyota Factory Installed Auto Access Seat for the Toyota Sienna
The
all-new 2011 Sienna minivan now has a first of its kind in-line factory
installed rotating power lift up seat. Toyota is the not only the
first manufacturer to offer a factory installed lift seat but we are the
only North American automaker to offer this mobility option directly to
our customers.
The
new auto access seat offers a new level of comfort and convenience to
anyone who may need a little extra assistance getting in or out of a
vehicle. The new Sienna with Auto Access Seat (AAS) provides a much
needed transportation solution for caregivers of an elderly parent or
spouse with a walking disability, disabled veterans, and parents of a
child with a disability.
Auto Access Seat Features
Seat rotation of 90 degrees with a lift capacity of 330 pounds
It lowers to within 19" from the ground with 4" of side travel and reclines up 24 degrees
Built-in
safety features includes a system override that prevent the seat from
functioning if the vehicle is not in the "park" position, if the sliding
door is not completely open or if an obstruction is detected
A
single audible beep will indicate normal operation, while two audible
beeps indicate an obstruction or other symptom has occurred and ceases
operation until remedied
The all-new Sienna with Auto Access
seat meets all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and comes
with a comprehensive 3-year / 36K mile factory warranty from Toyota and
can be serviced by your local Toyota dealership.
