Sienna Rampvan Foldout model offers a ramp that folds out of the right side sliding door opening and features an 11-inch lowered floor, for one more inch of headroom, which can be critical for some customers. This vehicle provides a door opening height of just over 54 inches and also features a unique anti-rattle device. Like the Infloor Rampvan, there is also a simple manual device in case of vehicle power failure.


Available Side Access Packages

The Braun Sienna Rampvan offers several Assistance Packages for convenience. Assistance Package #1 deletes the carpet, and adds heavy-duty suspension. Assistance Package #2 for 2007, includes options for LE models that are of special value to a person with disabilities, including power right and left passenger sliding doors and power rear door, eight-way power driver's seat, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a trip computer with HomeLink.

The conversions are retailed through select Braun Mobility Equipment Dealers, which are listed on the Internet at www.braunlift.net.


Mobility Seats for Any Sienna

Toyota has entered into an exclusive agreement with Bruno Independent Living Aids to offer Lift-Up seats for any current-generation Sienna. Manufactured by Toyota Auto Body in Japan, the Lift-Up seats are available through selected Bruno Mobility Equipment dealers. All Bruno Lift-Up and Turny seats qualify for the full $1,000 Toyota Mobility Assistance reimbursement.

Toyota also offers Mobility seating options for the Sienna. The Bruno Lift-Up Power Mobility Seats are available for the right front passenger and the right middle seat positions. Both power seats rotate 90 degrees and extend out of the vehicle and lower to within 12 inches off the ground, to facilitate entry and exit by less able persons who have difficulty getting into and out of a vehicle.


Toyota Mobility Assistance Program

Toyota announced the Mobility Assistance initiative in 2001 to reach out to the expanding base of potential customers among the 54 million Americans with disabilities. The number-one cause of disability in the U.S. is arthritis, which afflicts nearly half of all seniors. The senior population was 76 million in 2000 and is projected to grow to 116 million by 2020 - or 36 percent of the U.S. population.

The Mobility Assistance Program includes a comprehensive resource information web site at www.toyota.com/mobility, where consumers can locate rehabilitation specialists, driving instructors for persons with disabilities, and mobility equipment dealers who sell and install the equipment as well as provide user training.
