Chrysler/Dodge Wheelchair Accessible Minivans
The Chrysler/Dodge Minivan Features:
• Tumble Forward 3rd Row
• American Made Quality
• Lower Ramp Angle
Our tumble forward third-row seating delivers spacious options:
Do you want more wheelchair space, more cargo space, or simply the flexibility of more passenger space? Whichever way you decide to go, you can broaden your horizons with room to spare.
Our Northstar lowered floor conversion minivan represents the culmination of our forward thinking philosophy: a power in-floor ramp offers open, unrestricted entry and exit as well as greater interior maneuverability. A one-touch remote allows effortless ramp deployment at your fingertips while our PowerKneel™ gives you a lower ramp angle, making access easier. For those who want to travel in open comfort, our tumble forward third-row seats allow the freedom of flexible seating arrangements providing more cargo space than any other lowered floor conversion minivan. When properly implemented, innovative thinking is communicated from design to final product and nothing gets lost in translation.
Since it was developed in 1993, the Northstar remains the cornerstone of the VMI product line, with over 10,000 Northstar conversion minivans in the field.

VMI introduces a new electronic primary backup system. The SURE DEPLOY* gives the customer a simple way to operate the VMI Northstar In-Floor ramp when the standard electronic control system is not functioning.
As of July 1, 2007 all Chrysler/Dodge minivans with the Northstar in-floor ramp, are being produced with the SURE DEPLOY installed as standard equipment.

FEATURES INCLUDE:
- It bypasses the VMI 5 control system as well as other existing system elements
- A backup battery, independent of the vehicle 12V system provides continuous power to the SURE DEPLOY system
- The backup battery is charged from the vehicle electrical system using a built in “smart” charger and charges primarily when the vehicle is running
- Eliminates physical exertion required by the customer to operate the manual crank to deploy the Northstar ramp
- Operation is controlled by a simple mounted key pad strategically located to be easily accessible from either inside or outside of the vehicle, on the
C Pillar
- Basic protections are built into the controls to prevent inadvertent operation and to prevent children from easily operating the now primary backup system
- In a recent product demonstration, 9 out of 10 dealers recommended that VMI offer the SURE DEPLOY as standard equipment.
