The two door models move the seat to face outwards, and also slide forwards across the doorstep.
The four door models only swivel to face outwards. Therefore a standing transfer may be necessary.
Modifications to the vehicle are minimal, therefore the vehicle can be returned to its original condition when required.
Factors affecting space available for swivelling and roof clearance are vehicle model and the height of the person using the seat. Seek advice from the installer.
Installation may not be possible in the driver’s seat of some make of models, as the steering wheel may impede functional use.
